ARVIO v1.9.95
This release focuses on making Live TV, EPG, playback startup, cloud sync, source selection, and large-library navigation feel much more reliable across TV and mobile.
Live TV, IPTV & EPG
- Fixed TV category navigation so large IPTV lists keep showing channels and mini-player content after switching categories.
- Fixed TV category context menus so long-press select opens reliably on remotes, with working hide/move actions.

- Improved paged TV guide rendering for very large playlists, including favorites-first startup and smoother category paging. Contributor: @saidai-bhuvanesh.
- Improved XMLTV/EPG parsing reliability, playlist concurrency, memory use, and cache handling for large datasets. Contributor: @saidai-bhuvanesh.

Playback & Sources
- Reworked autoplay ranking so it picks the best visible/highest-quality source faster instead of waiting too long or choosing weak 720p options.
- Improved playback startup readiness to reduce black/loading screens and make manual source selection and autoplay more consistent.
- Tuned playback buffering based on device memory to improve stability on TV devices.
- Fixed Plex MKV compatibility cases that could show black screen/no audio on specific files.
- Kept the screen awake during playback to prevent TV screensaver interruptions.

- Added trailer playback in card mode and fixed trailer/background subtitle behavior. Contributor: @silentbil.
Addons, Plugins & Anime Matching
