v2.2.3 — 2026-06-14
🔁 Please re-sync your playlists after updating. This release switches live channels to the more
widely-supported MPEG-TS stream format — but each channel's link is built when you sync, so your
existing channels keep the old format until you re-sync. Open Settings → Playlists and press
Re-sync on each one so every channel picks up the change.
- Channels that wouldn't load now play — live streams use the universal MPEG-TS (
.ts) endpoint
instead of HLS (.m3u8); some Xtream providers only serve raw MPEG-TS and don't offer the.m3u8
wrapper, so their channels failed to load entirely. And if a.tschannel still won't start, the
player now automatically falls back to the.m3u8variant before erroring — so the rare HLS-only
panel keeps working too. - Back hides the player controls first — while watching, when the player UI is showing, Back now
just hides it instead of leaving the channel; press Back again (with the controls hidden) to exit
the player. - Smarter playback retries — when a stream stalls, the silent auto-retry now uses exponential
backoff (1s · 2s · 4s) to better ride out cold-boot decoder lag, skips retrying when you're
offline (shows a "No internet" message immediately instead of spinning), and fails faster on
movies/episodes — a bad VOD link errors after one try instead of three. - Channel zapping from the Guide — the CH+ / CH− keys now surf channels while watching a channel
opened from the TV Guide, stepping through the guide's channel list — just like from the Live TV
list.
