AerioTV 0.2.11
Switch Stream on Dispatcharr
- The player options menu now has Switch Stream on Dispatcharr Direct Connect playlists. It lists every stream behind a channel with its quality and the source playlist each one comes from, so you can switch to a different stream without leaving the player. The list scrolls when a channel has many streams.
- AerioTV also follows along automatically: when Dispatcharr switches the stream on the server, whether from failover or a change in the web UI, the app re-tunes to the new stream on its own.
- Switch Stream is available to admin Dispatcharr accounts only, and is hidden for Xtream Codes and M3U playlists where there is nothing to switch to.
Smoother, more reliable live playback
- Broadcast audio in AC-3 and E-AC-3 now plays on devices that previously got no sound, using a bundled decoder.
- Removed the brief stutters and rebuffers that some channels caused at audio boundaries.
- Deepened the live buffer so streams ride out short network hiccups instead of freezing or skipping.
- Fixed video failing to decode after a channel switch on some MediaTek devices.
- A stream that sends no data now times out and reconnects instead of hanging on a black screen.
Faster channel start
- Channels start noticeably quicker.
Channel groups
- Reorder channel groups alphabetically or by hand, and the channel list now clusters by the order you choose.
DVR
- Scheduled, ongoing, and completed recordings now show their full program guide details.
Android TV
- Fixed guide navigation input lag.
- Fixed oversized search and filter focus rings in the guide.
- Long-press BACK now brings the mini-player back to fullscreen.
Phone
- Added a manual fullscreen button to the phone player.
- Fixed the player banner showing under the camera cutout in portrait.
Updater note: if you installed 0.2.4 or newer from GitHub, AerioTV will offer this update automatically, or check manually in Settings > App Updates. Your channels, settings, and recordings are kept.
Play Store note: if you installed AerioTV from Google Play, uninstall it before sideloading this APK. Play builds are signed with a different key, so Android will refuse to install this APK over a Play install (and a Play update over a sideloaded install). Uninstalling clears local data; if Google Drive sync is enabled, your playlists and settings restore on next sign-in.
