QuasiTV 2.7.0

Image
 2.7.0 adds some channel guide improvements and fixes.  When opening the guide the currently playing video will be highlighted instead of whatever was scheduled for the current clock time on the channel. You also can now select the actual channel by moving the guide all the way to the left.  Selecting the channel will jump "live" to that channel.  Finally, I changed the settings button on the player controls to a "go live" button which will jump to the wall clock time for the current channel.  The old settings button was a hold over from a time before there was a side menu to access the settings. 2.7.0 (2025-03-20): The channel name is now selectable in the channel guide.  Selecting will go "live" to the selected channel Currently playing video should now be initially selected when opening channel guide Replaced settings button in player controls with a "go live" button.  Settings can be opened via the side menu A bunch of channel guide fixes Upd...

QuasiTV 2.6.0

2.6.0 update is mostly just updates to dependencies / kotlin.  Biggest part of the update would be targetting the latest version of android.  I am not really sure if there are any TV devices that are even running android 15, but hey now QuasiTV is optimized for it! 2.6.0 (01-29-2025): Updated target sdk to 35 (android 15) Updated kotlin to 2.0.21 Updated media3/exoplayer to 1.5.1 Updated glide version to 4.16.0 Updated ktx core to 1.15.0 Updated work manager to 2.10.0 Download 2.6.0 apk

QuasiTV 2.5.2

Pushed another update that should make additional improvements to playlist shuffling.  I had not really factored in a playlist full of movies when making the updates to 2.5.1, so these additional changes should work better for both TV and Movie content. For these changes to take affect immediately, you will want to reschedule the channel.  Otherwise, the new schedule changes will apply at the end of the current 24 hr schedule 2.5.2 (2024-12-20): More tweaks to playlist scheduler Download 2.5.2 apk

 QuasiTV 2.5.0 (2024-11-26): Added option to import channels using direct ip:port of quasitv instance instead of relying on multicast Updated media3 exoplayer to 1.5.0 Updated web admin flutter version and dependencies Here are the changes in the exoplayer update: https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/media3#1.5.0 I get a lot of requests from people for the apk of QuasiTV so they can sideload it on their tablet or phone so I decided to make on available here .  Keep in mind sideloading the apk is not supported by myself so please do not email about issues when doing so.  QuasiTV was not designed for non TV user interfaces and no official support for touchscreens.  Use at your own risk.

QuasiTV 2.4.0

I went through and updated all the dependencies QuasiTV uses.  The 2 important updates would be the google play billing library (google now requires all updates to be using billing 7.0.0 or newer), and updating exoplayer to 1.4.0.
