Fixed
PS Vita: Stremio crashed the GPU ("blue light of death") both while
browsing and on playback. Two independent causes, both down to the Vita's
tiny GPU memory and its 1080p-capped hardware decoder:
Artwork textures were unbounded. Unlike Plex/Jellyfin, Stremio serves
absolute Cinemeta poster/backdrop URLs that can't be resized server-side, so
a full-res 1920×1080 backdrop became a 2048×2048 GXM texture (~4 MB in DXT5);
a handful exhausted GPU memory and the allocator then returned null
mid-render, faulting the GPU. This is the crash reported "everywhere" and
specifically when pressing ○ to leave a movie/show overview. Artwork is now
downscaled to ≤1024 px per side before upload (the screen is 960×544, so this
is lossless even full-screen), capping every texture and quartering the
largest ones. As a client-side guard it also protects the other backends if
a server ever hands back an oversized image.
Playback had no resolution cap. Stremio is direct-play only and sorted 4K
first, so the default source fed a 4K stream to a decoder that tops out at
1080p — an instant GPU crash. On Vita, 4K sources are now dropped and the
source list prefers ≤720p (the field-tested comfort zone for the Vita's
limited CPU), keeping 1080p only as a manual fallback. An item left with no
compatible source shows the existing "no sources" notice instead of crashing.
