## 🚀 11.6.0 (2026/07/03)

### General

#### ✨ Features

- Added `externalId` to OptiView Live distribution metadata exposed by the `distributionloaded` event.

### Web

#### 🐛 Issues

- Fixed an issue where an OptiView Live stream was incorrectly flagged as offline during slow startup.
- Fixed an issue where ID3 text tracks did not initially have a `TextTrack.type` set when playing inside a `WKWebView` on iOS.
- Fixed an issue where the player would error on some specific HLS streams with TTML subtitles.
- Fixed an issue where the player would create gaps in the buffer around discontinuities in certain HLS streams, which could result in undesirable gap jumps or short freezes during playback.

- Fixed an issue where the device motion controls were not working in VR on mobile Chrome browsers.

#### ⚡ Improvements

- Added optional provider information to OptiView Live endpoints.

#### 🐛 Issues

- Fixed an issue where an OptiView Ads overlay stays onscreen indefinitely after it has expired.

### iOS

#### 🐛 Issues

- Fixed an issue where changing or clearing `player.source` while playing an HESP stream could cause the app to crash due to an internal race condition.
- Fixed an issue where transitioning between IMA prerolls would cause the PiP window to close.
- Fixed an issue where sources with multiple IMA prerolls would load trailing prerolls after the main content.
- Fixed an issue where setting a source with an IMA ad while another source with an ad is playing would cause a crash.
- Fixed an issue where scheduling IMA ads causes a momentary black screen in main content.
- Fixed an issue where ads from different systems would overlap with OptiView Ads.
- Fixed an issue in OptiView Ads where the layout would switch to single momentarily in between companion ads.
- Fixed an issue where during ad playback in PiP, the original player view continues to playback main content.
- Fixed an issue where double box and L-shape ads don't show in PiP.
- Fixed an issue where Ads would remain in double box layout after finishing.

### Roku

#### ✨ Features
