Stream-TV 1.6 - coming this month

Next version is coming this month (Mar-2016) with several bug fix and new features, here is the list:

New Features:

  • "Add New Channel" - this option from the options screen (appears after a long press on an icon) has been made default (moved to be the first entry on the options screen)
  • "Search New Logo" - you can now search google for logo images directly from the app and set a new logo for your channel directly from the TV in an easy and convenient manner
  • Add from Channel Browser as Default - until now Drag right or Down at the end of the channels list caused a + icon to be revealed which added a channel using the "Manual Add Channel" screen, from version 1.6 it will be using the channel browser as default, if M3U file is not set to the ExtInf Provider URL in the setting screen then manual add will be the default
  • Image Cache - version 1.5 has downloaded channel images every time the app was launched, even if appleTV did not evacuated the cache files, version 1.6 is using cache more efficiently in order to increase performance
  • Channel Browser Improvements - in the channel browser the preview screen is now larger, underneath the preview screen a channel icon, category and description has been added (if description and category is available from M3U file)
  • Progress Indicator - activities that involves time (usually requires network) such as "Download Channels", Init TV screen, Init Video screen etc. will display progress indicator (spinning wheel) while work is in progress
  • Background Colors - in addition to black and white backgrounds there is now a color selector to allow any background color for the TV and Video screens, channel browser will shade as the TV background color, Settings screen (and image search) will remain the same background color, the color selection is done using a color selector from the setting screen
  • Channel Browser Index - in the channel browser you now have a channel number (index) next to the channel name, and above the upper right corner of the preview screen there is a total channels number so you can see what channel out of how many you are now browsing
  • Splash Image - a splash image added to the app, when app is loading
  • more in the works


Bugs Fixed:
  • Stability bugs - several bugs causing the app to crash has been fixed
  • Logos does not appear - logos from m3u file does not appear and default logo appears instead of them if the m3u file contains full path url, or if the "TV Channels Logo Provider URL" in the setting screen is empty
  • ExtInf Provider does not clear - press on "Clear All Content" does not remove "TV Channels ExtInf Provider URL" value (it clears only after app is removed and reopened)
  • Logo Provider does not clear - press on "Clear All Content" does not remove "TV Channels Logo Provider URL" value (it clears only after app is removed and reopened)
  • ExtInf Provider does not save - when entering a value in the "TV Channels ExtInf Provider URL" textfield in the "Settings" screen does not save (unless "Download Channels List" is pressed)
  • Logo Provider does not save - when entering a value in the "TV Channels Logo Provider URL" textfield in the "Settings" screen does not save (unless "Download Channels List" is pressed)
  • ExtInf Provider Default value - the value of the TextField "TV Channels ExtInf Provider URL" is a value instead of a placeHolder, causes the need to delete default value instead of entering text right away
  • Logo Provider Default value - the value of the TextField "TV Channels Logo Provider URL" is a value instead of a placeHolder, causes the need to delete default value instead of entering text right away
  • Video tab does not clear - if  "Restore Default Content" has been pressed, then a "Clear All Content" has been pressed, then a visit to the TV tab will show cleared screen, but next visit to Video tab will show default content
  • TV tab does not clear - if  "Restore Default Content" has been pressed, then a "Clear All Content" has been pressed, then a visit to the Video tab will show cleared screen, but next visit to TV tab will show default content
  • Browsing Channels - in version 1.5 browsing channels in the channel browser caused every channel that you swiped through to be played and paused, version 1.6 improve this and wait for the user to stop swiping and select a channel and only then play the stream (saves network, performance and smoother experience)
  • Channel Browser - while moving from TV tab to any other tab and back the first view of Channel Browser would be off screen
  • Color Defaults - the defaults of background colors always white when pressing "Restore Defaults" and after first load
  • Restore Values - "Restore Default Values" restore the textfields values but not the saved values which affects the download channels feature
  • Download Channels - after closing the app completely and launching back again the channel browser does not appear until another "Download Channels" pressed
