What's New in v1.9.5
Stability & Playback Fixes
- Fixed a playback issue where addon streams could get stuck loading instead of starting
- Fixed the player subtitle rebuild loop that caused constant re-preparing and flickering time updates
- Fixed non-English subtitles from addon sources by rebuilding the media source once when late subtitles arrive
- Improved subtitle handling for OpenSubtitles/Comet-style SRT links
- Fixed mobile seekbar touch handling with a larger touch target for dragging and tap-to-seek
- Improved trailer playback handling and in-app trailer opening from the details page
Live TV / IPTV
- Fixed Xtream live stream URL formatting (
/live/.../*.ts) so more IPTV providers play correctly - Added retry limits for IPTV playback errors instead of endless silent retries
- Added IPTV category management context menu on TV and touch devices:
- Favorite / Unfavorite
- Hide category
- Move up / Move down
- Added Stalker Portal support via MAC address in IPTV settings
- IPTV hidden groups and ordering are cloud synced
Home / Discover / Search
- Fixed discover-page selection so pressing OK/Select opens the correct item
- New default preinstalled catalogs now come from curated MDBList sources
- Reduced startup load pressure: only the first 3 catalogs preload immediately, the rest load progressively in background batches
- Deleted old preinstalled catalogs now reappear one time after the catalog set changed, but stay hidden again if deleted afterwards
- Search portrait rows are more stable on smaller screens
Settings & Cross-Device Sync
- Added subtitle size and subtitle color settings
- Added trailer auto-play toggle in settings
- New settings are saved to Arvio Cloud
- Fixed catalog removal so deleted catalogs disappear from the UI immediately
