⚠️ Alpha build — this release is for early testers only. Take a backup before upgrading, expect rough edges, and please report anything broken. Regular users should wait for the upcoming beta.

📺 TV experience

  • Customizable sidebar — choose which items appear in the TV sidebar and in what order (Settings → Appearance)
  • Modernized dialogs and menus in Debrify TV for a cleaner, more consistent look
  • TV keyboard now previews edited text right above the keys, so you can see what you're typing without looking away
  • Redesigned profile editor — a DPAD-friendly side rail replaces the top tabs, and the new Pages & abilities section lets you choose what each profile sees (keyword search, Live TV, YouTube, downloads, and more) right on the TV
  • Fixed DPAD navigation in the TV profile editor, and the sidebar now properly reveals rows when traversing upward

🚀 Startup & Quick Play

  • Quick Play startup is much more resilient — failover between sources is hardened, with new diagnostics and a status readout when something goes wrong
  • Startup and manual source selection are validated before playback begins, so dead sources are skipped instead of failing silently
  • Quick Play now honors your provider source order, and TV priority reordering is hardened
  • Removed a duplicate loading indicator during startup, and refined the resume button and launch guard on merged detail pages

🎬 Player & subtitles

  • Subtitle auto-sync now available on Linux and Apple TV (experimental, Settings → Playback)
  • Closed the gaps in the subtitle outline for cleaner text rendering at every size
  • Manual source switches inside the player are validated before switching
  • A batch of player stability fixes from the tvOS review sweep, including teardown hardening that eliminates rare crashes when closing videos

📡 IPTV

  • Fixed a session-killing crash when picking a channel from the guide
  • Fixed a guide row animation crash and improved stream compatibility on Google TV Streamer
  • Hidden categories now stay hidden even on the fallback loading path

🏠 Home

  • New setting: source label visibility — hide the source badges on Home cards if you prefer a cleaner look
  • New setting: clean artwork cards — prefer text-free artwork on title cards
  • Fixed a loading flash in the Home spotlight

☁️ Sources

  • Pin your favorites — provider web downloads and addon direct links can now be pinned to the top of the sources list
  • Addon results now preserve the order the addon returns them in
