Xtream Player v3.5.0

Changes:

• Fixed the Continue Watching series-open flow so series details open more reliably from the Continue Watching tab.
• Kept the app version bumped for the next stable release.

Xtream Player v3.4.9

Changes:

• Continue Watching now shows a stable placeholder when a series card has no artwork, instead of going blank.
• The card still upgrades to the real series poster once the parent series resolves.

Verification

• rtk ./gradlew :app:compileDebugKotlin
• rtk ./gradlew :app:assembleRelease

Xtream Player v3.4.8

Changes:

• Fixed series auto-play next so episode switching works consistently from Series, Categories, Favorites, and Continue Watching.
• Fixed the player header so it updates to the new episode immediately after auto-play next.
• Kept Continue Watching stable when the next episode is opened briefly before crossing the resume threshold.
• Reduced the brief Continue Watching card swap while the app resolves a series poster.

Xtream Player v3.4.7

Changes:

• Fixed playback identity so the same movie or episode keeps the correct resume state no matter where it is launched from.
• Fixed series playback so next/previous, auto-play next, and subtitle state stay tied to the currently playing episode.
• Cleaned up Continue Watching so series entries resume the latest watched episode without cluttering the list.
• Added per-episode progress bars and safer episode thumbnail fallback behavior in series details.

Xtream Player v3.4.6

Changes:

• Fixed playback identity so the same movie or episode keeps one canonical resume state across the app.
• Fixed series auto-next, previous/next navigation, and resume updates when playback advances between episodes.
• Kept Continue Watching collapsed to one series-level entry while preserving the correct latest episode resume target.
• Added per-episode progress bars in the series details screen.

Xtream Player v3.4.5

Changes:

• Improved the OpenSubtitles API dialog with clearer guidance and a clear action.
• Made the save flow handle cleared credentials correctly.
• Bumped the app release to version 3.4.5.

Xtream Player v3.4.4

Changes:

• Fixed search normalization so query language prefixes are handled without rewriting cached title text.
• Fixed Continue Watching write throttling to refresh persisted metadata changes while still avoiding noisy rewrites.
• Fixed local playback resume throttling so title/duration updates are saved even when position changes are small.
• Added regression tests for search normalization and resume/write guard behavior.

Xtream Player v3.4.3

Changes:

• Restored dimmed playback background when player controls are visible.
• Reverted control styling so titles and buttons stay readable on bright scenes.

Xtream Player v3.4.2

Changes:

• Added optional VOD buffering controls in Settings, with an on/off toggle, adjustable buffer length, and guidance about the tradeoffs.
• Added a startup loading indicator for VOD so it is clearer when a video is preparing instead of looking stuck.
• Removed the old video dimming effect when player controls appear.
• Improved control readability by giving the title strip and bottom control groups their own dark translucent backgrounds.
• Fixed VOD buffer edge cases so low values do not break playback setup, and changing buffer settings keeps the active playback settings applied.

Xtream Player v3.4.1

Changes:

• Improved VOD remote behavior so pressing OK pauses or resumes playback while showing the player controls more reliably.
• Fixed the next-episode countdown so it no longer steals left, right, or OK remote input during playback.
• Changed next-episode timing so your chosen setting now controls how early the app jumps to the next episode before the end, with a fixed 15-second countdown leading into that jump.
• Added a Back-button dismissal path for the next-episode prompt so you can keep watching the current episode without leaving playback.
• Improved countdown timing so the on-screen number lines up with the visible playback timeline more closely.
