A new Nuvio Legacy look, email sign-in, sources that show up as each add-on answers, and reorganised settings.
Added
- New look: new opening screen, icon and app name (Nuvio Legacy) on LG, Samsung and Android. The sign-in and profile screens use the new artwork, and the phone input page matches it.
- Sign in with email and password (#216): no phone needed. The button sits below the QR code on the sign-in screen.
- Sources right away (#221): the source list fills as each add-on answers, and automatic pick no longer waits for the slowest add-on. The wait can be set in Settings.
- Settings: grouped in categories, with search and the advanced options kept apart.
- Seekr: seek-bar thumbnails now work without entering a key. Turn them on or off in Settings › Playback › Seekr.
- Touch (#216): tap and drag on Android TVs and boxes with touch or pointer input.
Fixed
- Resume: going back to a paused movie opens the source that was playing.
- LG screensaver: stays off while a movie plays and comes back on pause or at the end.
- Accounts and profiles: watched history, badges and resume are kept separate per account and profile. Add-on edits are kept when a sync fails.
- Android: the app no longer restarts when the TV changes display settings, and the black screen before the first frame is gone. This may help the black screen in #223.
- Profile screen: turning off the background artwork now works.
- Clock island: sits on the right by default in every layout. You can still move it in Settings › Appearance.
Notes
- The 1.7.1 LG packages were republished on 2 October with a fix for the app not opening (#224, #225). If 1.7.1 closes on launch, install 1.7.2.
- Phone input needs the phone and TV on the same network, without a proxy or VPN on the phone.
- Native Samsung packages are optional; you can keep using the WGT version. Sign Samsung packages with your own certificate as before.
