QuasiTV 2.13.0

Image
You will now have the ability to backup and restore your channels and profiles via the web admin UI.  There are some caveats to backup/restore: You can only restore a backup to the same server.  A channel is really just a list of show / movie ids, so if you switch to a different server (or clear your server of all content and rescan everything), it will not work. Profile pictures and pins will not be restored.  I did not want to save pins / passwords in plain text, so you will have to set a pin again if you are using it and reupload profile pics The importing of channels from other QuasiTV instances will still be available, but I imagine it will not be needed nearly as often due to the backup/restore. You can access backup and restore under the web admin UI under settings QuasiTV 2.13.0 (2026-05-31): Added backup / restore options to the web ui (under settings).  You can now backup channels and profiles to a file that can be restored at a later point. Various minor f...

QuasiTV 2.12.1

Image
I added the ability to change the "resize mode" of the playback area.  You can toggle between fit, fill, and zoom.  This should allow you to take 4:3 content and have it stretch to fill the screen.  You will see the button to toggle this in the media controls QuasiTV 2.12.1 (2026-05-20): Updated exoplayer/media to 1.10.1 Added resize mode button to media controls.  Includes fit(default), fill, and zoom modes. Updated other dependencies Download apk here

QuasiTV 2.11.1

Just uploaded a minor update with some fixes.  The channel guide navigation was improved to fix situations like this video in the link below: https://imgur.com/a/FOs4IV5 The guide will now try to keep what is "currently playing", as long as the previous selection was also currently playing.  There were some other improvements to the navigation but this was the most impactful. QuasiTV 2.11.1 (2026-02-21): Hide hidden channels from home screen channel Fixed home screen channel images not showing up on some devices Improved channel guide navigation, especially when scrolling through what is currently on Download apk

QuasiTV 2.11.0

Image
Home screen channels have been added to QuasiTV.  This is nice addition to android TV launchers that actually support it.  Unfortunately both fire tv and google tv devices seem to no longer support the "Tv provider" api anymore, but the nvidia shield's launcher and projectivy launcher do support it. QuasiTV will now add a row on the home screen showing what is currently playing on the last used profile (in projectivy you need to manually add the row).  The "watch next" section will also get an entry to show what's on the last watched channel.  Click on a card will jump you straight to that channel. Download apk here. Changelog QuasiTV 2.11.0 (2026-02-07): Added home screen channels (only some TV launchers support channels) Watch Next on home screen on supported TV launchers will now get populated with the last channel watched Updated exoplayer / media3 to 1.9.2 Fixed web admin artwork not loading correctly

QuasiTV 2.10.1

Did some more dependency updates, the big one being exoplayer / media3 being updated to 1.9.1, and fixed a few bugs.  There was a fairly bad bug with the web admin and profiles that could put quasi tv in an unusable state, so that should no longer happen anymore. https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/media3#1.9.0 https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/media3#1.9.1 I know development of the app has seemed slow but I have been working on something pretty big for the last two years and it is getting much closer to completion.  One of the common requests is a way to keep multiple QuasiTV client's sync'd together with the same channels and schedule.  I have been working on a solution: a standalone QuasiTV Sync Server.  All channels and schedules are stored there and sent to all connected clients.  Hop on discord for more information about this.  It will hopefully start being available for testing / beta in a few months.

QuasiTV 2.9.0

2.9.0 is another dependency update along with some sdk changes.  Unfortunately android 5.0 and 5.1 are no longer support due to some of the dependencies now requiring 6.0 as a minimum.  A quick look at devices no longer supported and they are all pretty old (2017 or earlier): Amazon Fire TV (Gen 2) Amazon Fire TV Edition - Element 4K (2017) Amazon Fire TV (Gen 1) Amazon Fire TV Stick (Gen 1) Amazon Fire TV Stick (Gen 2) Exoplayer updates: https://github.com/androidx/media/releases/tag/1.8.0 QuasiTV 2.9.0 (2025-09-24): Updated target api level to 36 Updated min api level to 23 Updated exoplayer/media3 to 1.8.0 Updated billing library to 8.0.0 Updated other dependencies Download Link
