- Added support for subtitle addons.
- Added support for adjusting delay for subtitles.

The change notes on the App Store include mention of several added preferred language settings. This was accidental.
1.6.1 (2024-10-01)

- HDR10, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision

- Hide status bar if player starts in landscape, not just after rotating to landscape.
1.5.1 (2024-09-23)
tvOS
- Fix stuttering issues during playback.
- Fix callback from external video player to open Vidi correctly.
- Add addon titles to search result rows if more than one addon has search capability.
1.5.0 (2024-09-20)

Only for tvOS as iOS/iPadOS doesn’t support multiple video players yet.
- Added support for external player Infuse.
- Added support for external player VLC.
- Fixed bug where video player setting would not persist between sessions.
1.4.0 (2024-09-19)
iOS & iPadOS
tvOS
- Rehauled ID handling. Should resolve many issues with mismatches between IDs in various addon configurations. This change will reflect pretty much everywhere in the app with ID resolution being a lot more dynamic.
- Search using all search enabled addons.
- Add support for proxy headers to KSPlayer playback. Some addons need this for playback. Unfortunately not supported in VLC Player since they don’t yet support adding headers.
- More liberal conformity to content types which should allow lots of more addons to work now.
- Fixed crash when removing last Up Next item.
Known issues:
- A user might not want every addon with a search function to be used for every search. Maybe add the ability to toggle addon resources. For example, maybe the user only wants links from an addon that also provides search.
- Player setting doesn’t save on tvOS. I feel that the additions in this update outweigh the negative and it would take another day or so to resubmit and have a new version reviewed so it’ll be fixed in the next version instead. This seems to be present in all versions of the app, it’s just not reported.
- I forgot to add the addon name to search result rows on tvOS. I’ll add it in the next release. I’m thinking of adding an option to also show the name on the feed. It’s in the backlog.
1.3.0 never got released on tvOS because I submitted 1.4.0 before it got reviewed so for tvOS these changes also apply:
- Default language selection option Dutch.
- Default language selection option Hebrew.
- Add crash reporting tool.
- Add prompt to resume or start over content that has played to near completion.

- Fixed a bug where add-ons would generate more requests than necessary, causing errors like 429 or unnecessary traffic.
