QuasiTV 1.5

-

QuasiTV 1.5 adds a new audio and subtitle track selection UI plus a lot of minor improvements.  The web admin UI was cleaned up a bit and I began updating the app to support Windows 11 and ChromeOS.  QuasiTV is not available through play store yet on ChromeOS, but after some more testing I plan on making it available in one of the 1.5.x patches.

Another change is the ability to choose direct play support for specific audio formats.  Many times the device itself doesnt accurately report what it can support, so allowing the user to override seemed like the best option.  Right now only EAC3, AC3, DCA/DTS, and TrueHD have this ability, but please reach out to me via email / forums / discord if there is another format I missed (formats like aac / mp3 are supported on all devices via android).  Note: This might not work immediately since the audio format information needs to sync from the server, which is triggered to happen every 8 hours or so.

QuasiTV 2.0 is here!  The big new capability is user profiles (requires QuasiTV Premium IAP), but a lot of other things were improved in the process.  The web ui got a bunch of improvements and fixes.  Users who bought the 'unlimited channel' upgrade (now renamed to QuasiTV Pro) can now edit premade channels through the in app editor and the web admin.  There is also a new main menu replacing the simple popup that would display when the back button was pressed. The new update is currently in review on Google Play and will be rolled out to amazon in the upcoming days. Lets go into some details on the changes. User Profiles Once purchasing 'QuasiTV Premium' or purchasing the upgrade from Pro To Premium (cheaper option if previously bought the unlimited channel upgrade), a profiles menu will appear on the main settings page.  Clicking on that will allow you to create the "owner" profile.  The owner cannot be deleted and will have full admin. Once the owner profil

QuasiTV now supports custom channels based off playlists or collections.  QuasiTV Premium and Pro users will now be able to use the web admin UI to add these channels (not available in app editor).  When adding a new channel, you will prompted to choose from the list of playlists / collections, and then prompted to name the channel.   Playlist channels can be either played in order, or completely shuffled.  Collection channels have the same options as other custom channels (shuffle show / movie order and shuffle episodes). QuasiTV 2.1.0 (2023-10-02): -Added collection / playlist channels (requires premium/pro upgrade) -Improved shuffling episodes to prevent showing the same episodes as often -Fixed renaming channel by pressing the keyboard "done" button in the in-app editor -Remove channel list in app now lists channels alphabetically -Only retry playback on error if the episode was started within the last 20 seconds -Fixed add show/movie icon in channel editor -Exoplayer upd

QuasiTV 2.0.1

-
2.0.1 will be rolling out over the next few days with some fixes.   One fix was quite interesting.  When playing back media, QuasiTV has to construct a URL with info on what media to play AND information about the device it is running on.  Turns out AT&T made a TV device, so when playing on this device.. it would construct a URL with "X-Plex-Device=AT&T TV" in it.  The & is actually a reserved character in urls to indicate multiple parameters, so this was causing the server to fail to parse the url and would error out.  QuasiTV now just strips out & in device / model names before creating the url and playback works again. Enjoy! QuasiTV 2.0.1 (2023-05-22): Fixed episode restarting after a google assistant or alexa prompt Fixed issue where media wouldn't play on devices with ampersands in the device or model name
