What's New in 0.5.5
- Mini player on phones: Swipe down from the top of the live player to shrink it into a floating in-app mini player. Movies, episodes, recordings and catch-up minimize to it too, and picking a channel tunes it right in the mini.
- Skip Intervals: Choose how far skip back and skip forward jump for live, DVR and on demand.
- Smarter Reconnecting: Reconnecting shows only when playback actually stalls, appears quickly when the server stops a stream, and backs off while a channel is stopping. Changing channels or swapping a multiview tile now closes the old connection.
- Default Group and Recently Watched: Pick the group Live TV opens on in App Behaviors. Recently Watched lists your last 25 channels; turn it on in Manage Groups. The selected group is remembered per playlist.
- Hide movies and series: Long-press any title to hide it. Hidden titles live in the Filter dialog and sync with your watchlist.
- Video Scale in the player: Fit, Fill and Stretch replace Aspect Ratio, with pinch to scale on phones and tablets.
- More audio formats decoded: More audio formats now decode in the app when the device cannot.
- TV guide sidebar and remote keys: A Sidebar layout setting (Overlay or Shift guide) in Manage Groups, group previews on focus with Back restoring your group, and six remappable guide keys.
- Android TV polish: A second Back closes playback, long Left/Right scrubs on demand with controls hidden, Up from the first row reaches the tabs, the mini player steps aside on Settings, and exiting catch-up returns to the guide. The on demand hero now shows only for Continue Watching.
