A much faster big playlist, safer connection handling, and screens that say what went wrong.
Added
- A Recordings row on Home, recording marks in the guide, and a quiet notice when a recording fails.
- Add a channel to a group straight from the Ctrl+K results.
Changed
- A big playlist opens faster, the channel filter keeps up with typing, and the catalog and search vocabulary load off the screen’s thread.
- Favorites, hidden channels, custom names and numbers survive a provider rename.
- The sports screen only offers leagues that have a game, and says so plainly when none do.
- HLS streams that arrive without a length start without the long wait, and Windows’ own root certificates are trusted on redirects.
- First run shows how far an import has got, and names the step that failed instead of leaving a blank line.
Fixed
- Background checks and multiview tiles could push you past your provider’s connection limit.
- Screens that failed to read said you had nothing. They now say what went wrong and offer a retry.
Themes, recording, and your own channel order.
Added
- Themes and accent colors, including a light theme and true black for OLED screens.
- Recording: record what you are watching, or schedule it from the guide. Files are saved as .ts.
- Your own channel order, channel numbers and groups, in Edit channels.
- Guide options: a group picker, a jump to any time, and a choice of grid or list.
- An offer to switch feeds when a stream keeps freezing.
- Streams allowed per source, so nothing goes over your plan.
Changed
- American spelling throughout the app.
Fixed
- Recordings saved without audio, or as empty files.
- The window opens in your theme’s color instead of flashing dark.
A fix for 0.2.0 quitting on its own.
Fixed
- The app quit about five seconds after it opened. The shutdown watchdog in 0.2.0 started before the window existed and took the app down with it.
Smaller player controls, live scores, VPN routing and a shorter shortcut list.
Added
- Smaller player controls, with a volume slider and no click-to-pause.
- Live scores, with a refresh button and a delay setting.
- Sports previews that start on their own.
- WireGuard and proxy routing, under Network & VPN in Settings.
- A short default set of keyboard shortcuts. The rest are listed in Settings > Keyboard and can be assigned there.
- The Visual C++ runtime ships with the app, so a clean PC has nothing to install.
Fixed
- A source you removed came back the next time sync ran.
- Switching channel could hold two streams from your provider at once.
- A library or data folder that won’t open now opens a recovery screen instead of failing at launch.
