What's new in 0.4.3
Features
- Deeper catch-up history on Dispatcharr: the guide now pulls past programming straight from your server's upstream EPG sources, so catch-up reaches as far back as your provider's guide data goes instead of the couple of days Dispatcharr retains.
- Multiview in portrait: tiles stack top to bottom on a phone, and rotating re-flows them side by side without interrupting playback. On TV, a new Stacked layout in the tile menu gives the same top/bottom split.
- SVG channel logos and artwork now display instead of rendering blank.
- Match content frame rate: the player requests a real refresh-rate switch when the stream's frame rate differs from the display. Your system's Match content frame rate setting stays in charge.
- Remote control overhaul on TV: the redesigned button scheme is now the default, with customizable button maps, presets, dynamic gesture hints, a recents overlay on hold-Up, search on hold-Down, and an optional start-in-mini tune mode.
- Guide: catch-up badge on the channel rail and list view, docked group sidebar with a selector setting, and a channels overlay inside the player.
Fixes
- DVR tab now appears while an on-device recording is in progress, on any playlist type.
- Record from Now is available for the currently airing program on M3U and Xtream Codes playlists in list view.
- The recording sheet can expand fully on phones, so the destination picker is always reachable.
- Fixed 30 second UI freezes on low-power TV devices while large guides loaded: EPG processing now runs off the main thread, as does playlist download and parse.
- DVR and VOD playback prefers the FFmpeg audio decoder, fixing an HE-AAC decode crash.
- Fixed a freeze where scrolling the guide on a busy device could trick the stream watchdog into reloading a healthy stream repeatedly.
- Fixed adding an Xtream Codes get.php URL as a plain M3U playlist running out of memory on low-RAM devices.
- Fixed a quality-variant channel id collision that made alternative-quality channels ignore taps.
- Channel logos and names scale correctly at larger comfort sizes.
- Startup refresh rate, match content resolution, and cast staying on the channel list are all fixed on TV.
- Guide re-anchors to now after a display-scale change; DVR tab no longer flashes stale content at launch.
