A large consolidated update: new features, several bug fixes, and a full performance pass. There are still some issues with direct magnet / torrent play whether from addon or pasting the link, working on those. Along with a minor navigation bug in profile settings.

Two builds are attached:

  • StremioX-tvOS-0.2.41.ipa — the full app with the embedded streaming server (torrents, debrid, direct links).
  • StremioX-tvOS-direct-0.2.41.ipa — a lighter build that plays direct and debrid links only, no embedded server.

New

  • Add to Library and Watch Later. Save any movie or show from its detail page and from Continue Watching.
  • Continue Watching long press now offers a Details action to open the full page.
  • Stream link QR code. Show a scannable code for the current source to hand it to another device.
  • Richer source list. Each source shows its size and quality, and the top results from every add-on are kept so one add-on cannot crowd out the others.
  • HDR and Dolby Vision compatibility toggle for displays that prefer SDR tone mapping.

Fixes

  • The sources panel no longer freezes the player when opened.
  • No more brief home screen flash before the profile picker on launch.
  • Marking a whole series unwatched now clears every episode tick.
  • Continue Watching resumes the exact same source you left off on.

Torrents

  • Turned off the local cast and device discovery subsystem that was flooding the logs and starving the app on Apple TV.
  • Removed a recovery watchdog that could close the streaming server in the middle of playback.
  • Capped the torrent cache to a size safe for the Apple TV memory budget.
  • Add-on torrents now receive the same TCP and TLS trackers as pasted magnets, for peer discovery that works without UDP.
  • Gave the streaming server more worker threads so tracker lookups do not stall the engine.

Performance

  • Smoother playback and a more responsive remote. The player no longer redraws on every clock tick, the source panel ranks once instead of on every frame, and the episode list and on-screen metadata are cached.

Note: torrent playback on Apple TV is still being hardened in this release. Direct and add-on streams remain the most reliable path.
