 0.12 (2021/01/18): Channel import should now work with hardwired devices Added SSL option for jellyfin/emby login Renamed audio passthrough to "Force Direct Play" Fixed issue where wrong episode would play Download:  apk

QuasiTV 0.11 - Transcoding

Image
 It took me awhile, but I was finally able to get transcoding working.  Video and audio formats not supported by the device will now be transcoded.  Also if only the audio track is unsupported, QuasiTV will direct stream the video and only transcode the audio.  When transcoding, the transition between consecutive episodes can take a bit longer (it depends on how fast your server transcodes), but on my setup it was mostly unnoticeable other than the loading spinner coming up for maybe a second.  In addition to transcoding, a setting was added to toggle between allowing audio passthrough or not.  This isnt a force audio passthrough, so whether or not the audio is actually passed through is determined by exoplayer.  With the setting off, any non native supported audio formats will be transcoded. I also added the ability to import custom channels from other instances of QuasiTV running on your network.  You need to have QuasiTV actively running on all...

QuasiTV 0.10 - Movies

Image
Support for movies has finally been added.  There is now an option in the setup to auto create movie channels based off movie genre and movies can now be added to custom channels.  In the future I would like to add the ability to order how movies / tv are scheduled to allow it to schedule movies in their correct order.  There are also some other minor UI tweaks to improve how things looked. 0.10 (10/28/20): -Added movie support -Scheduler improvements -Only choose valid servers before login attempt -Default audio language to device locale -Tweaks to channel editor card sizes -Added mostly transparent black background to the channel browser to improve readability -Prevent same episodes being scheduled in the same block multiple times -Other fixes Download:  http://www.mediafire.com/file/coi32ei7ufyqtn4/quasitv-0.10.apk/file

QuasiTV 0.9 - Custom Channels

Image
Custom channels can now be created in QuasiTV.  I added a fairly easy to use UI that lets you create and edit custom channels.  By default you will be able to create 10 custom channels, but I also added an in-app purchase to upgrade to unlimited channels.  During early access unlimited channels will be 50% (2.49 USD).  This upgrade will also unlock the ability to edit the premade channels when that capability is added in 0.10 (most likely).  In-app purchases are currently only available for Android TV, but once QuasiTV gets to 1.0, it will also be published on the Amazon Appstore with In-app purchases also enabled. I also added a new menu that pops up when the back button is hit while watching something.  It was way to easy to accidentally exit the app before and the menu also gives easy access to the settings and channel editor. Here is a video of the channel editor in action.  The video quality is not the greatest since I was recording over wifi....

QuasiTV 0.8

Image
 Jellyfin is now officially supported by QuasiTV.  I also made some changes to have the schedule run right on startup which should hopefully fix the issue where the schedule stays blank for awhile if QuasiTV has not been used in awhile. Next up will be custom channels which will be the last major feature before moving out of beta / early access. 0.8 (08/24/2020): -Added jellyfin support -Fixed issues reporting play status to emby -Improved scheduling performance Link:  http://www.mediafire.com/file/r7lsetcz2j9p4em/quasitv-0.8.apk/file

QuasiTV 0.7

Image
Emby is now supported by QuasiTV.  You can connect via an Emby Connect pin or using a login and password.  I was hoping to include Jellyfin support in this update as well, but there were some minor API differences from Emby so I decided to hold off until 0.8. 0.7 (07/26/2020): -Added support for Emby (Login and Emby Connect) -Setup UI should now use correct theme color -Updated exoplayer to 2.11.7 -Fixed issue where an episode would get stuck at the end and not play the next episode APK Download:   QuasiTV 0.7
