1.8.1 – The Fan Edition 🎉
1.8.0 was pulled due to too many bugs. Thank you @larcn for spotting many critical bugs right after release. Your bug reports are really appreciated.
1.8.1 is the Fan Edition! It combines all the most hotly requested features from all of you and a bunch of crucial bugfixes.
I always made Open TV mostly to my own taste, but this changes today — this update celebrates your support by implementing every single popular feature request.

On a separate note, Open TV Mobile has finally launched!
It's a bit of an early release, so expect a few bugs. Every purchase directly contributes to development.

Changes
- Vastly improved navigation. Keyboard navigation should be a lot smoother.

Please send feedback if you like keyboard-centric apps. - Categories view now follows your media type filters.
Only want to see categories of VODs? It's here. - Series are now organized in seasons.
This was probably the most requested feature. - Playback of channels can be cancelled by just clicking on them again.
No more zombies. - Squashed a ton of Xtream bugs.
- Open TV now remembers your last search before entering a category, series, or season.
- Re-added the scrollbar. I personally don't like it, but you guys do, so it's back.
I will consider making it an option if I get feedback that I'm not the only scrollbar hater. - All episodes of a season are added to the queue when playing an episode.
- Fixed a bug where you couldn't use left or right arrow keys in the search bar.
- The Linux Flatpak package now uses MPV as base, which means it should be kept up-to-date
with the latest dependencies in a more consistent fashion.
If you had problems with the Flatpak package, please try it now. - Updated all dependencies.
- Pulled release 1.8.0 (failed release due to too many bugs), fixed a bunch of bugs from 1.8.0.
