This update primarily focuses on optimizing the autoplay mechanism within the WeChat environment, introduces style isolation compatibility for complex WordPress themes, and addresses several specific details including autoplay status, small screen UI adaptation, and fluid layouts. These improvements further enhance the player's integration stability and overall user experience.
WeChat Autoplay Optimization: Implemented autoplay functionality specifically for the mobile WeChat built-in browser. A smart fallback strategy is also introduced: if unmuted playback fails, it will automatically fall back to muted playback and display an "Unmute" prompt (the PC version of WeChat maintains the normal playback flow).
WordPress Theme Compatibility: Isolated external page styles, effectively preventing interference from ripple effects, global SVG styles, and custom button styles inherent in certain WordPress themes on the player's UI and interactivity.
Small Screen Experience Optimization: Optimized the interface layout for small-screen devices such as mobile phones.
Fixed a user experience issue where the video would still have no sound after the user clicked the "Unmute" button in certain scenarios.

This update is a deep optimization release of the ZWPlayer v3.2.0 series. We not only achieved a functional leap in subtitle and chapter systems but also conducted comprehensive optimizations for mobile interactions, WebRTC protocol ecosystem, and UI details, aiming to provide developers with a more professional and smoother cross-platform playback solution.
Intelligent Content Retrieval: New built-in subtitle and chapter search panel supports quick indexing via keywords and one-click jump to corresponding video progress, enabling subtitles as indexes and instant line jumping.
Zero-Barrier File Access: Support direct drag-and-drop of local subtitle (SRT/VTT/BCC) or chapter (JSON/VTT) files into the player, significantly improving content debugging and viewing efficiency.
Full Lifecycle Callbacks: New onSubtitleLoaded, onChapterLoaded events for deep business logic integration.
Format Auto-Detection: The player can now automatically identify VTT, SRT, JSON and other subtitle and chapter content formats.
Multi-Cloud Platform Integration: Beyond standard WHEP support, added official adapters for Alibaba Cloud ARTC and Tencent Cloud TRTC protocols, empowering ultra-low latency live streaming scenarios.
Protocol Intelligent Recognition: Enhanced underlying detection logic supports automatic parsing and instant opening of multiple protocol headers including webrtc://, artc://, trtc://, brtc://, etc.
Full Browser Recording Compatibility: Special optimizations for Firefox and Safari browsers ensure stable recording functionality across all major browsers.
Efficient Fast-Forward Experience: Introduced long-press to trigger 2x speed playback mechanism; releasing immediately restores normal speed, aligning with mainstream short-video app operation logic.
Spatial Layout Optimization: Small window mode intelligently hides non-essential toolbars and reduces the center play button size, maximizing screen real estate for content on small screens.
WeChat Environment Smart Strategy: New WeChat browser environment detection automatically disables autoplay configuration within WeChat to avoid continuous loading spinners caused by autoplay restrictions, improving first-screen experience.
Global Panel Mutual Exclusion: Established a global panel manager ensuring that only one functional panel (subtitle search, settings, chapters, etc.) is active at a time, avoiding UI overlap and visual clutter.
Cross-Platform Interaction Compatibility: Fixed the "sticky display" menu issue caused by :hover pseudo-class on mobile browsers.
Unified Visual Language: Standardized recording options, scrollbar, and popup styles to enhance overall brand consistency.
Fluid Mode Adaptation: Fixed an issue where in fluid adaptive mode, portrait videos caused the container to fail to match the aspect ratio properly, resulting in unexpected scrollbars.
Multi-language Core Fixes: Fixed partial translation mappings for some prompts and the issue where disableMutedConfirm configuration became ineffective when switching languages.
Shortcut Key Conflicts: Resolved the conflict where operating arrow keys in the search panel accidentally triggered volume adjustments in the underlying player.
