 # Changelog
 
-## [0.1.24] - 2026-09-23
+## [0.1.24] - 2026-09-24
 
 ### Fixed
-- **VLC Seek / Buffer Recovery**:
-  - Increased VLC network caching to 5 seconds for remote MovieBox streams so seeking has enough buffer headroom instead of appearing frozen.
-  - Enabled VLC HTTP reconnect so dropped HTTP connections during seeks can recover automatically.
-  - Preserved `If-Range`, `ETag`, and `Last-Modified` metadata through the MovieBox loopback proxy and advertised byte-range support for `206 Partial Content` responses, improving reliable HTTP seeking for proxied DASH/media streams.
+- **Playback compatibility rebuild**:
+  - Rebuilt v0.1.24 from the working v0.1.23 playback baseline after the first 0.1.24 build could fail to launch media on some player/client combinations.
+  - Restored the proven VLC and MovieBox proxy playback paths from v0.1.23.
+  - Removed the experimental VLC seek/reconnect flags and proxy validator changes from the previous 0.1.24 build.
+- **Release identity**:
+  - Package, binary, repository, and updater identity remain `moviebox`, `moviebox.exe`, and `Mrminecope/MovieBox`.
