What's new in 1.3.0

Better live playback feedback, player choice when things go wrong, smarter search, and clearer TV navigation.

Playback & reliability

Smoother live playback with the alternate player — The loading indicator now clears when video is actually ready, including tricky live streams where the app used to look stuck buffering.

Choose how you watch — Pick between the built-in player and VLC from on-screen controls or when something goes wrong, so you can retry without leaving the screen.

Clearer recovery after errors — When playback fails, you get straightforward options to switch player or try again, with your last good state handled more predictably.

Search

Snappier, more predictable search — Results update more smoothly as you type, with smarter matching so you see what you meant, not noise from tiny or irrelevant words.

Android TV

Clearer navigation at the top — Tab buttons show a stronger focused state and a subtler idle look, so it’s easier to see where you are when moving through the app with the remote.
