Changelog

v2.5.1

Fixed in v2.5.1

• Categories jumping to original source - Fixed a bug where playing a channel not in its original category caused the EPG list to jump to original source.

Added in v2.5.0

Stream Bitrate Badges and Probe Enhancements

• Average bitrate badges - Stream Probe can now measure and display average video bitrate (kbps/Mbps) and audio bitrate (kbps) as metadata badges. Enable Measure Video/Audio Bitrate before probing - this adds a few extra seconds per channel during the probe.
• Per-location bitrate badge toggles - Video and audio bitrate badges can be enabled or disabled independently across the EPG, Channel Info Overlay, Search Results, Failover Groups, and Linked Sports Channels under Settings → Live TV → EPG.
• Probe scopes for Failover and Linked Sports Channels - Dedicated probe scopes have been added to the Channel Stream Probe for quickly verifying stream health within Failover groups and Linked Sports channels. Select them as Target Channels to scope the probe.
• Sort Failover and Sports channels by resolution - After probing Target Channels, Failover groups and Sports stream lists can be sorted by stream resolution (e.g. highest quality first). Use the Sort button at the bottom once probing completes to reorder the group.

Local Library Rework (Recommended: remove and re-add local folders after updating, scoped by Movies or Series)

• Reworked local file matching - Improved movie and series matching from filename and folder name, with a reworked database layer that eliminates lag when switching to the Local tab.
• Reworked TMDb matching for Series - Series are now matched once per folder rather than per file, reducing API calls and improving matching speed.
• Reworked review button - The review button now includes Skip and Remove options. After reviewing an item, the modal automatically advances to the next file requiring review instead of closing.
• Refresh Metadata for Local Library - A new Refresh Metadata action re-fetches up-to-date TMDB details and artwork for all matched titles, with improved poster preloading.
• Reworked Local Folders management - Scanned folder management is now split into separate Movies and Series tabs for better title and folder name trimming during TMDb matching.
• Missing metadata filter - The local library view can now be filtered to show only titles without TMDB metadata.

• Intro skip for local series episodes - Intro skip now applies to local series episodes when the episode has an entry in the IntroDB database.

Controller and Phone Remote Support (Experimental)

Controller and phone remote support has been added. The app was designed primarily for keyboard and mouse use, so controller navigation uses spatial navigation and may not be perfect in all areas. Enable under Settings → Controllers & Remote.

• Controller support - Tested with DualSense (Bluetooth), Xbox controller (Bluetooth), and Logitech Dual Action. Compatibility with other controllers has not been confirmed. It is recommended to configure a button for Search, as it will open an on-screen keyboard.
• Phone Remote - Use your phone as a remote control by scanning the QR code shown in Settings → Controllers & Remote. Features a built-in Guide browser for sending channels to the app, and a Sports tab that mirrors the Sports sidebar for quick game switching. Adding the page to your home screen is recommended for repeat access without rescanning the QR code.
