- **Stremio Service no longer needed**:

  - Now Enhanced run a Stremio streaming server in the background without needing Stremio Service.
  - It uses a more recent version of the streaming server which should fix some playback issues. The latest available release of Stremio Service used version 4.20.8 whereas Enhanced now use 4.20.11 built-in.
  - This should also fix issues related to needing Stremio Service, such as [Playback stops working every few episodes](#33) (at least from my testing it did, if you still encounter this issue, feel free to inform me).
  - Enhanced stores Stremio’s streaming server logs in a stremio-server.log file located in its application data directory (`~/.config/stremio-enhanced` on Linux, `~/Library/Application Support/stremio-enhanced` on macOS, and `%appdata%/stremio-enhanced` on Windows).
- **Improved Discord Rich Presence**:
  - Now if you resume playback from the home page directly, it will also update status on Discord and show what you're watching.
- **Explore and try community-made plugins & themes from the app**:
  - You can now go to the settings menu and click on the "Community Plugins & Themes" button to easily explore and download available themes and plugins for Stremio Enhanced (not many available right now).
  - The themes and plugins are fetched from [Stremio Enhanced Registry](https://github.com/REVENGE977/stremio-enhanced-registry/). If you're a developer you can submit your work there.
- **Added support for transparent themes**:
  - There is a new toggle option in the settings menu. When enabled it will use the transparent flag in Electron to allow transparent themes.
  - Enabling this option might affect performance and a restart is required after enabling it.
- **No longer uses OpenGL on macOS**:
  - In the previous version, Enhanced used OpenGL for all platforms (this is done to fix an issue where the audio tracks menu in the video player is unavailable).
  - Enhanced now uses OpenGL on Windows/Linux but not macOS, since OpenGL is not well optimized on macOS and caused performance issues.

  *Note: I don't have a mac so I'm not sure if this will introduce more issues. Feel free to report any issues you encounter.*
- **Updated Electron to 37**:
  - [Electron 36 on Linux experienced conflicts between GTK 2/3 and GTK 4 libraries](#37). This should fix that issue.

 Stremio Enhanced is an Electron-based [Stremio](https://www.stremio.com/) client with support for plugins and themes. It enhances the default Stremio experience by adding more customization options and integrations.

 ## ❓ What Is the Difference Between Plugins and Addons?
 - **Addons** are available on the normal version of Stremio. They add catalogs and streams for Stremio.
 - **Plugins** add more functionality to Stremio, like new features.
 
 ## 📜 Creating Your Own Plugin
 Plugins are simply JavaScript files running on the client side. Create a JavaScript file with a `.plugin.js` extension and write your code as you would normally for the client side.
 
-As of version v0.3, you are required to provide metadata for the plugin. Here is an example:

 - Subtitles are not available for **some** streams that have embedded subs. This seems to be an issue with either [Stremio Web](https://web.stremio.com/) or Stremio Service, as it also occurs in the browser. Subtitles do work fine for **most** streams though.

+## Update v0.9.1
+This is just a small update to fix compatibility issues in Linux/macOS. 
+
+- Changed file paths to use path.join for cross-platform compatibility.
+- Improved the StremioService class to check for Flatpak installation.
+- Fixed an issue where, on Linux, Stremio Enhanced attempted to use `process.env.APPDATA` to locate AppData, which doesn't exist on Linux and returned undefined instead. Now it will use the .config folder on Linux instead.
+- Now correctly opens the file explorer on the operating system the user is using. Previously, clicking "OPEN THEMES FOLDER" or "OPEN PLUGINS FOLDER" in the settings menu had no effect on non-Windows systems.
+
+Just like the latest release, I'm providing stremio-service bundled builds but this time also for macOS (x64) and Linux.
+
+This is what I tested:
+- On Linux, I Installed Stremio Service using [Flatpak](https://flathub.org/apps/com.stremio.Service). & also tested the service bundled build.
+- On macOS (x86, Intel), I installed Stremio Service using StremioService.dmg [from here](https://dl.strem.io/stremio-service/v0.1.13/StremioService.dmg).
+- On Windows, I tested both the service-bundled build and the regular build.
+
+Soon, I'll transition from using Electron Packager to Electron Builder, which will fix some cross-platform compatibility issues.
+
+**Note:** The macOS arm build may not work (you can run directly from source until the issue is fixed). The x86 is tested and should work.
