What's new

This update lets you choose which screens TiviGlass opens on, mixes different TV services in Multi-view, and fixes several causes of failed background updates, lost data and choppy playback.

• Added Startup screen and Home tiles: choose the screen TiviGlass opens on and which rows appear on Home, saved per profile on each device.
• Added Movies opens to and Shows opens to, alongside Live TV opens to, with All, Last used group, Favourites, All Playlists, Watchlist, History and Recently added.
• Live TV can now also open on one of your TV service's own groups, so a family TV can start on the kids' group.
• Multi-view can now mix channels from different TV services, including services that allow only one connection at a time. Choosing a channel for one pane leaves your other panes playing.
• Added Choose groups to the TV Guide to browse several groups together.
• Added Playing channel to jump back to the channel that is playing, without restarting it or moving the guide time.
• Added a Channel list to the player: search your current channel order by name or number while playback continues.
• Added manual reminders for anything your guide does not list, and a choice of which device a reminder appears on.
• Added a one-step setup for the coloured buttons on your remote.
• Added quick access to picture size and the clock from the player menu, and a quick TV service switcher.
• Added a progress-bar colour to custom themes.
• Added Startup profile on this TV, to open an unprotected profile automatically on that device only.
• All enabled guide sources now contribute to a playlist's guide, with higher sources winning where listings overlap.
• Improved TV Guide matching, including a scan that can refresh your guide sources before it runs.
• Catch-Up now continues into the next programme instead of stopping at the end of the one you chose.
• Improved frame-rate matching, including on older boxes.
• Added Reload episodes for shows whose episode list did not load fully.
• Premium: improved Fusion source switching, and a recording that loses its source can now continue from another one automatically.
• Linking an OpenSubtitles account now uses your OpenSubtitles.com sign-in details, with clearer messages when it fails.
• On the website, you can now edit a playlist's live favourites for each profile from your account, and purchase confirmations are emailed after checkout.
• Fixed automatic updates restarting from the beginning when Android stopped them part way. Large movie and show libraries are now fetched in shorter passes that carry on where the last one stopped, and the TV guide is refreshed first.
• Fixed background updates never running at all on some boxes, along with a crash on those devices. Updates that begin while the device is offline are now skipped rather than repeated.
• Added Last update, per source under automatic playlist updates. A playlist whose channel update keeps failing now pauses on its own and says why, while its TV guide keeps updating.
• A damaged local database is now repaired instead of deleted, so saved channels, recordings, parental locks and watch history are no longer lost.
• Fixed choppy playback, out-of-sync sound and an unexpected message about switching to another version of a channel after an unrelated crash or force stop. Hardware decoding is no longer turned off for a week in those cases.
• Fixed recordings that could stay stuck on "Recording now" after the app closed, which blocked later recordings until TiviGlass was restarted.
• Fixed Back not responding in some full-screen playback situations.
• Android's Remove animations setting is now respected throughout, including the LIVE dot, padlocks and long scrolling names.
• Fixed some M3U playlists being sorted into the wrong sections, and improved large pasted playlists, playlist sync, TV source setup, search results and duplicate-channel handling.
• General reliability and security improvements.

This update fixes a bug from 2.2.6 that could show paid Premium and Essentials features as locked, even on fully active, fully paid accounts.

• Fixed some paid features appearing locked throughout the app after updating to 2.2.6, despite an active paid plan.
• Your account and payment were never affected; this only affected what the app displayed. No action is needed after updating.

This update improves live TV playback, remote controls and everyday navigation.

• Fixed an issue where Back could stop responding during live TV on Fire TV Cube.
• Improved pause, rewind and fast-forward when opening channels from the TV Guide.
• Improved channel switching and the Recently watched panel.

• Improved channel-name cleanup for large TV sources.
• Improved TV Guide updates when navigating between screens.
• Added clearer messages for incomplete recordings and TV source connection checks.

• Decoder preferences now stay on the device where you set them.
• Improved volume levelling with surround sound when using Automatic passthrough.
• Fixed Series Links failing to schedule recordings on manually matched Guide channels.
• Improved network-storage recording setup and reminder delivery while devices are idle.
• Fixed duplicate TV services caused by differently formatted server addresses.
• Fixed keeping guest profiles when signing into an existing account.
• Improved phone and tablet sign-in, playback gestures and brightness restoration.
• Existing Stremio sources now support entering addon URLs securely from your phone.
• Improved loading screens, retry controls, reduced-motion support, remote navigation and general stability.

This update improves everyday browsing, adds more control to Multi-view and the Sports Hub, and addresses playback, TV Guide and synchronisation issues.

• Navigation and Home: Simplified the main navigation, improved Home layouts and fixed issues with saved scroll position and custom row ordering.
• Movies and Shows: Added clearer sorting controls, including Highest rated and Most watched by me. New recommendation rows and a dedicated More like this tab for Shows make discovering titles easier.

Account privacy and reliability improvements

• Fixed cloud-data cleanup when deleting an account through beta.
• Improved account isolation for setup measurements when signing out or changing accounts.
• Signed-in setup measurements now distinguish actual playback and displayed prices from failed playback and empty dialogs.

These measurements contain three first-occurrence timestamps, with no channel names, programme titles or viewing duration. Details and your choices: https://tiviglass.com/privacy

Cloud sync fixes

2.2.1 corrects the TV service sync fault reported after 2.2.0, restores fast channel changing on large line-ups, and makes recordings and provider problems explain themselves properly.

Important fixes

Fixed TV services being removed one at a time after signing in or syncing on 2.2.0. A service is now only removed when you delete it, never because it was missing from a single update. The opposite fault, where one service was duplicated repeatedly across your devices, is fixed too.
Channel changing is fast again on large line-ups.
Fixed live audio stopping on every channel after opening the TV Guide or changing channel.
Fixed a channel that failed to play leaving its error behind after you moved on, which could block D-pad channel changing and leave the next channel buffering.

Recordings

Maximum simultaneous recordings has moved to the main Recordings page. It still starts at 1, because each recording uses one of your provider's connections, and so does whatever you are watching.
When two programmes overlap and only one can record, TiviGlass now says so beforehand under Scheduled and afterwards as a Not recorded entry, naming the limit and where to change it.
Turning Recording off now refuses new timers and Series Links and says so, instead of accepting one that could never run.
Network share recordings now report the real reason for a failure, and a share that briefly drops can no longer truncate a recording in progress.

Picture and sound

Auto frame rate has moved to the main Playback page with clearer wording, and no longer switches repeatedly between 24 and 25 fps.
The Stats overlay and Self diagnostics now show whether the decoder in use is hardware or software, the picture's colour description and audio output, so a picture or sound fault can be identified from one screen.
A provider refusal quoting HTTP 403 now suggests trying a different network or a VPN first.
Fixed green or tinted video in Multi-view.

TV services and updates

A large service now shows that it is still importing, with the option to leave it running, instead of appearing to have found no channels.
Failed refreshes now explain what actually happened, and an incomplete provider response keeps the library you already have.
Search is quicker and no longer comes up empty while an update is running.
Older TV boxes with an out-of-date certificate store can now reach providers using modern security certificates.

Cloud sync

Custom channel numbers now sync between your TVs.
Stalker, playlist file and Stremio services now arrive complete on a new TV when it signs in, as Xtream services already did.
Fixed saved provider logins being stored unreadably when the sync encryption key could not be fetched.
Two identical boxes on one account now keep their own remote profile and navigation layout.

What’s new

• Programme artwork and full descriptions load more consistently when moving through the Guide.

Playback and recording

• Scheduled recordings now wake sleeping devices more reliably, reducing the chance of missing the beginning of a programme.
• Late-starting recordings now stop at their intended finishing time instead of running into the next programme and potentially blocking another recording.
• Auto frame-rate matching now avoids display-mode changes that would visibly interrupt a channel change.
• Recordings always open in TiviGlass, even when an external player is selected.
• External-player settings now fall back clearly to the built-in player when Premium access is unavailable.
• Improved playback from Sports and other cross-service areas so the correct TV service and credentials are used.
• Improved OSD Back-button behaviour and handling of invalid stream information.

Fixes and reliability

• Hiding a channel no longer sends the Guide back to the top of the list; focus moves to the nearest remaining channel.
• Switching or removing a TV service can no longer wait indefinitely behind a stalled background update. TiviGlass now stops safely and explains when to try again.

• Fixed M3U channels belonging to several groups appearing in only one. Large Stalker/Ministra imports now continue from where they stopped.

• Fixed a temporary account read after an update asking customers to purchase again and hiding services, favourites and history until a force stop.
• Account settings now explain what the current plan unlocks and when recurring access renews.
• Improved provider errors so connection limits, login failures, unreachable servers and User-Agent refusals are easier to tell apart.
