[LivingWithHippos]

What's new in 1.8.0:

What's Changed

• many android TV updates
• new permission to play media on LAN devices
• material you and custom color picker themes
• better local player picker
• use search tab without logging in
• cancel active downloads on network change (disabled by default)
• filter files by name when selecting torrent content
• send subtitles to kodi

Big thanks to @ElCruncharino for all the contributions

Notes:

• changed the APK names in the release section below
• as usual there are two APKs, a release and a debug one (the bigger one with "debug" in the name), the debug version will allow me to fix bugs more easily (it uses Countly for telemetry) but if your app does not crash you don' t need to use it
• the Play Store version will be updated after some feedback
• Fdroid version will be picked up automatically at some time
