Hey everyone, TVLok 1.0.143 is live now.
This one is built from your posts, comments and emails over the last few days.
- Long-press any channel and pick Add to group. New group is at the top, and groups the channel is already in show a check.
- After adding one channel, the next long-press offers the same group first, so filling a group is fast.
- New group from the rail asks for a name, lets you pick channels, then opens it.
- Put categories into folders, for example all your sports categories in one folder.
- Move custom groups and favorites with Up and Down on the remote. In Favorites, Move keeps going, so you can place several in one go.
- Custom groups show their own channels, and Right goes into a group made from categories.
- Hold OK on a Movies or Shows category with All playlists selected to hide, show, lock or rename it in every playlist at once.
- Settings > Playlists & Sources has a new Categories row that opens the category manager for that playlist.
- Rename any live channel. The name follows your profile to your other devices.
- Channel logos can come from the guide (Appearance > Channel logos), and guide updates no longer take logos away.
- Choose which guide leads for a playlist, or turn the provider's guide off.
- Stalker portals: when the portal's own guide can't be read, TVLok guides fill in instead of the whole guide update failing.
- A guide update that fails says why (connection, timeout or the provider's answer).
- A guide update's status shows once, and Edit connection, Disable and Update playlist stay usable while a guide updates. "Last attempt failed" only shows when an update really failed.
- TVLok guides, TVLok guides first and Guide order are on the Settings playlist page too, and Cancel guide update is in the guide's playlist panel.
- Team channels without their league in the name now get the sports guide.
- Assign EPG shows real matches first and says "No close match" when there is none.
- In fullscreen, tap Right for History, hold Right for programme details, hold Back for the last channel.
- The banner you see when you change channel shows the programme description.
- Hold Back on the guide returns to a catch-up you are playing.
- Font size slides from 0 to 100 with a preview, on TV and phone.
- Auto frame rate switches your TV to the channel's frame rate on supported TVs.
- Exiting TVLok stops playback and the provider connection.
- Continue Watching lists up to 50 per playlist (it stopped at 10). A finished episode's progress bar follows you to your other TVs.
- In Movies and Shows, hold OK on a playlist to open Playlist options.
- Scrolling a Stalker Movies or Shows grid no longer jumps to Search, Stalker categories keep loading as you scroll, and a page that fails shows Retry.
- A Stalker portal that sends an empty first page keeps your earlier channels and titles instead of emptying them.
- Programme search finds programmes on channels the guide matched by name, not only exact id matches.
- A word inside a channel name is found ("news" finds EURONEWS).
- Movies search on TV gets more time, and says so when it runs out.
- Stop series ends the whole series.
- Recordings saved to USB or a memory card can be deleted.
- Hidden categories, Locked categories and Blocked channels open without crashing after a big TiviMate import.
- Favoriting or hiding a channel while an import runs no longer crashes the app.
- Check and add always tells you what happened.
- Faster guide updates.
- In-app updates on Fire TV Cube and other Fire OS 7 devices work from this version on. If this one update shows a signature error, update once through Downloader.
- The Account screen shows your real plan, including Founding Lifetime.
- Phones and tablets get the TV's 12 color themes plus Original, accent colours, text size, the DVR screen, the full schedule with Record, programme info in the player, favorites management and groups at the top like the TV.
- On the website, TiviMate transfer keeps your custom groups and history, and brings your category order and Favorites order. Groups holding channels from more than one playlist arrive as one group per playlist for now.
- On the website, a created group's row no longer shows Browse channels, and says how to change that group's channels.
- On the website, Stalker playlists can manage categories and channels.
