Nuvio + IPTV 1.1.0-beta.13.1

What's new

Live TV

• Quick Channels: a row of channels tucked under the play bar. Press Down to open it, and switch between Recently Watched, Favorites, any playlist or your own groups. Set it up in Settings → Live TV → Quick Channels or from the play bar's ⚙ panel
• Backup channels, faster: press Right twice in full screen for a panel with every backup copy of the channel: what's on, which playlist it's from, and the quality. Hold OK on a backup for the full options menu (start over, record, favorites, rename, hide and more)
• Overlay mode options: keep the list open when you change channel, or show only the list (details on Right)
• Time shift per playlist and per guide, for providers that are off by an hour or more. You can also set the catch-up time zone for each playlist
• Captions on or off are remembered for each channel
• Also Clean Group Names: Channel Name Cleanup can remove the same words from group names too (off by default)
• Show update banners: a new setting to hide the playlist, guide and On Demand update progress. Updates still happen in the background
• The ⚙ panel and the menus over the video now follow the play bar's Bar darkness setting, Lightest included
• A small "Up to seek" hint above the seek bar

Recordings

• Recordings play full screen in the Live TV player, with the seek bar, 30-second skips and resume. Back returns you to Recordings or the Calendar
• Series folders: shows with several recordings go into a folder with a page of episodes, marked Watched, minutes left or New
• Move To: move recordings between this device and a USB drive

Sports

• Score Delay: hold back scores, clocks, results and scoring alerts (30 seconds to 5 minutes) so they match your stream's delay
• All Events has a sport row (All, Football, Basketball…)
• Finished games show replays first, and say where each replay comes from
• Games from Sports addons can be paused and skipped (replays, and live games with a rewind window)

Updates

• Install now opens Android's own installer screen, with progress and Done / Open, like other apps

From Nuvio 1.1.0-beta.12 and beta.13

• Long descriptions on the Home hero can scroll automatically (optional)
• Better Skip Intro for anime
• Many smaller fixes and updated translations

Fixed

• Catch-up replays and Watch from the beginning no longer play a show from hours earlier on providers whose clock is in a different time zone
• Faster and smoother, especially on small boxes: quicker start to Home, smoother channel changes and Sports, and less memory and processor use
• F1 and other race weekends no longer show as live all weekend. They're live only while practice, qualifying, a sprint or the race is on, and show the next session's time otherwise
• Groups from Xtream logins now appear in the order your provider set
• Sports slowing down or freezing after you'd left the page
• Sports channel search freezing the app
• Flicker on channels that switch between 59.94 and 60 Hz with Match frame rate on
• Favorites, hidden channels and your groups being lost when a playlist renamed a channel. Channels renamed earlier get their settings back
• Pause and record not working on some HLS (m3u8) channels
• Captions stopping in full screen while using Rewind Anytime
• Catch-up recordings that saved nothing on some providers. Stopping a long recording now keeps what was recorded
• Calendar showing the wrong profile's shows after a profile switch
• A game opened full screen from Sports showing "Nothing playing"
• LPGA golf not finding channels, and the wrong show picked when several tournaments were on
• The guide briefly showing its old look when it opened
• VPN: more OpenVPN files import (ExpressVPN and others), provider ZIP bundles can be imported, VPN streams no longer stall, and a backup restore no longer fails because of one older WireGuard profile
• Videos sometimes not ending at the end, your subtitle choice being lost after a restore, and wrong episode numbers sent to Trakt
• Several crashes

Special thanks

A big thank you to bArKEr (@ghbarker) for all his work on this release: VPN import and connection fixes, additional speed and memory improvements across Live TV, Sports and the Calendar, the update banner setting, and more.
