⚠️ Alpha build — this is the biggest update yet: the entire app shell (Home, Search, Discover, Cloud, Settings, Sources) has been rebuilt. This release is for early testers only — regular users should not install this and wait for the upcoming beta release. Expect rough edges and please report anything broken.
🏠 All-new Home & Search (Stremio-style)
- Home is now a Stremio-style catalog board: infinite-scrolling addon catalog rows, Continue Watching, and favourites rows for Playlists, Debrify TV, Stremio TV and IPTV
- Hero spotlight with ambient trailers — the focused title's trailer plays right in the hero on TV (with settings to control it)
- New Discover tab: browse any Trakt list or addon catalog with filters, IMDb-rating sort, shimmer loading and a Random pick button
- See All grids for every row, plus a dedicated Search experience with live streaming results and per-engine source tabs
📄 New detail page
- Merged Stremio-style detail page for series & movies: episode panel with per-episode ratings, air dates and progress bars, autoplay trailer backdrop, progress-aware Play button, and quick actions (Mark as Unwatched, Remove from Continue Watching, and more)
🎬 Sources & playback
- Redesigned Sources page — results stream in per engine, addon streams included, season-scope pack search, and "Load more sources" on demand
- Series Auto-Pin (on by default): pack-first play + auto-bind when playing from the catalog; switching sources in the player updates the pin
- Quick Play now honors your default filters via a tiered relaxation ladder, and validates direct links before launch (dead links are skipped automatically)
- New Pipeline play loader that stays up until the player actually takes the screen; next-episode auto-advance and resume fixes throughout
📺 TV experience
- New overlay sidebar with a liquid-glass look (opens only on LEFT — no more accidental opens)
- Two-pane TV Settings + DPAD/focus fixes across every settings page
- Unified DPAD player menu (Miller columns) on Android TV
- Trailers render on a native surface + 720p render scale for weak GPUs — major smoothness and memory improvements across the board
☁️ Cloud & Addons
- Six cloud provider tabs consolidated into one Cloud hub with a shared, modern file list
- New Stremio-themed Addons hub: 1-click marketplace, community addons, and capability badges
📡 IPTV
- TV two-pane redesign with embedded live preview and animated tuning states
- Live-TV channels from Stremio addons as virtual playlists; a pinned Favorites playlist
- Xtream Codes, M3U and file-import reliability fixes
📊 Trakt
- New Trakt Calendar tab (shows up when connected)
- Cross-device per-episode progress shown and resumed in both players — furthest-watched wins
- Catalog plays now scrobble to Trakt (movies + episodes), including imported sessions
💬 Subtitles
- Official OpenSubtitles v3 seeded for all-language coverage
- Per-addon subtitle browser with retry; external subtitle side-loading on TV
- Smarter auto-select (your default language beats stale/forced picks); sync offset is now per-session
🧰 Other
- New onboarding: set up on TV or follow an animated import-from-phone guide
- YouTube browse restyled + in-player resolution switching (audio-safe)
- Crash hardening for the app's top crash vectors
- Removed the Launch-on-Startup feature
