Thank you for supporting Open TV. Donations of any amount are always welcome and are crucial for future updates.
I've received a lot of nice donations recently and I would like to thank everyone who donated. This update was made possible by every sponsor of this project. I've been listening closely to feedback to make this update so I hope you enjoy it!
The name of the app had to be unfortunately changed due to a trademark issue.
Changes
- Added a reload button next to the search bar
- Added an option to hide categories and channels
- Added an arrow to scroll back up
- Improved channel tile UI to show if the channel is a favorite and from which source it comes from
- Removing favorites and hiding channels will happen on next reload to avoid pagination issues
- Massively improved database performance
- Tray icon support removed for Linux due to bugs/crashes and incompatibility with DEs. It will be re-added in the future when support from the framework is more stable.
- Added a per-source limit of playing streams so you don't need to manually close open streams when switching channels
- Downloads respect the per-source limit. Starting a download will close the oldest open stream when the limit is reached. Opening a stream will also abort the oldest download
- Downloads should be more reliable now as they now use the channel's http headers, and will also use a default user agent if none is specified
- Fixed a bug where scrolling too many categories would cause an error
- Added user-agent configuration for fetching m3u links
- Renamed app to Fred TV (sorry! trademark dispute. I will try to claim this new name so it doesn't happen again)
- Updated all libs
