Describe your suggested feature

First off, thank you for this incredible project! The improvements over CloudStream—especially regarding source loading stability and the elimination of "Link Not Found" errors—are fantastic. Everything works incredibly smoothly.
​To help elevate the app's overall feel and move away from a "patched/modded" aesthetic toward a premium, polished application, I have compiled a few UI and feature recommendations.

  1. Professional Branding & App Logo Update

Issue: The current app logo gives off an unpolished, third-party "crack" or untrustworthy vibe.

Suggestion: Redesign the application logo to look clean, minimalist, and premium, giving it a unique identity that feels professional and secure.

​2. Premium Loading Dialogues (Remove Ad Prompts)

​Issue: The current video-loading dialogue box overlays text stating "Please wait, watch a short ad & continue". This significantly degrades the premium feel of the app and mimics the behavior of malware/adware apps.

Suggestion: Replace this specific pop-up phrasing with a clean, standard loading spinner or a more professional status message (e.g., "Buffering stream..." or "Initializing player...") to maintain a high-quality user experience.

​3. Evaluation of the Built-In YouTube Webview

​Issue: The current implementation embeds a standard web version of YouTube inside a dedicated tab in the app.

Suggestion: Reconsider this design choice. Having a basic webview of YouTube feels out of place next to the highly customized native streaming components. It might be better to either remove this tab entirely to keep the app focused, or rework it using native elements rather than a wrapped webpage.

​4. Navigation Bar Icon Scaling

Issue: The icons located on the bottom navigation bar are currently a bit too small, making them harder to target and visually imbalanced on high-resolution screens.

Suggestion: Increase the sizing of the bottom navigation bar icons slightly to improve readability and touch-target accuracy.
