ARVIO 1.9.8
Added
- Premium source picker overhaul shared between Details and Player, with richer source cards, improved metadata chips, better sorting, and clearer quality/release/audio/provider presentation.
- Clock format setting in Settings (12-hour / 24-hour) with app-wide top bar clock support.
- Volume Boost setting using Android LoudnessEnhancer.
- MAL score badge on anime details pages.
- Mobile-visible back button on deep screens.
- Post-episode "Up Next" prompt that respects auto-play-next.
- Fire TV / Bluetooth media remote support (play/pause, stop, rewind/fast-forward, next/previous episode).
- Multiple named IPTV playlist backend support (up to 3 lists) with enabled/disabled state.
Improved
- Top navigation bar redesigned: centered nav items, settings gear on the right, avatar-only profile entry, cleaner visual hierarchy.
- Home screen startup speed: categories cached to disk for near-instant relaunch, Continue Watching fetch decoupled from loadHomeData so it can complete independently.
- Image loading and perceived loading speed improved via dedicated Coil client, larger disk/memory caches, DNS warm-up, better preload behavior, and empty-image-url guards.
- Player controls, top bar focus, screen transitions, row emphasis, and card interactions feel smoother and more premium.
- Tablet player controls are larger, better centered, and more readable on bright content.
- Source picker labeling refined so torrent/cached/VOD are surfaced more accurately.
- Top 10 rows redesigned to use normal cards with gold rank badges instead of oversized background numerals.
- TV page EPG now loads up front when stale/missing instead of trickling in after page open.
Fixed
- In-app updater downloads but never installs.
- Deleted catalogs flashing back on home load.
- Player crash when switching audio language.
- Details page now focuses the first unwatched episode by default.
- Custom subtitle addons like Wizdom/Ktuvit now install and resolve correctly.
- IMAX badge added; Dolby Vision badge false positives fixed.
- Cross-device cloud sync timing improved with ON_RESUME pull, watch-history realtime updates, token refresh, and dirty-push retry behavior.
- Continue Watching / Trakt logic substantially reworked to reduce stale and incorrect items, better handle new episode premieres, and improve refresh timing.
- Home focus/row stability improved across startup and catalog updates.
- Trailer/details-page asset prefetching improved to reduce clearlogo and episode-load lag.
- Login now performs full cloud restore (not just addons), restoring catalogs, IPTV favorites, and other cloud-backed state after sign-in.
