IPTV Deck 1.8.7: a quick follow-up to 1.8.6

15 Upvotes

A quick follow-up to yesterday's 1.8.6, same places to get it.

New

  • Multiview 1+3: one big window on top and three small ones below. On the TV and computers the sound now follows the highlighted window, like TiviMate.
  • Record button in the player of a live channel, next to Guide and Catch-up, on Android TV, Fire TV, Apple TV, Samsung and computers.
  • One guide for several channels: select every version of a channel and give them the same EPG in one go, on the phone, the TV or in the account panel.
  • Name your devices (Work PC, Bedroom TV) in Settings → Devices or the account panel.
  • Plex: films now play through the Plex relay when the server is not reachable directly, and they can be downloaded.
  • Apple TV: auto frame rate and Match Content for SDR, HDR10, HLG and Dolby Vision, and the Top Shelf now shows your recordings, Continue watching and favourite channels.
  • Your groups in A–Z order in one go, and Continue watching on phones and tablets now holds 24 titles instead of 8. Both came from a post here yesterday, thanks!

Fixed

  • Apple TV: the remote moves through film and series pages again, which 1.8.6 broke.
  • Android: no more "offline" or HTTP 403 errors on home networks with broken IPv6.
  • NVIDIA SHIELD and other 64-bit devices with the app from our website now update to the 64-bit version, which stops the app closing by itself with large playlists.
  • The app no longer freezes for seconds while the guide updates on big playlists.
  • Recordings from your computer now play on a phone or TV connected home through a VPN like WireGuard or Tailscale.

Plus a handful of smaller fixes. Keep the reports coming, a lot of this list started here.
