📺 Automatic Picture-in-Picture (PiP) Mode & Version Bump (v1.1.2)

We are excited to release v1.1.2 (Build Code 13) of Alpha TV, introducing a highly requested feature: Automatic Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode for seamless multitasking.

🌟 Key Changes in this Release

  • Web Browser Version: Pressing the Home button (minimizing the browser) will automatically trigger native PiP via the HTML5 autopictureinpicture standard.
• Clean Interface Adaptation: When entering PiP mode, the app automatically hides all navigation lists, header/footer elements, and search bars, displaying a clean video feed filling 100% of the floating window.
• Version Bumps: Bumped target version codes and update configurations (v1.1.2 / Build Code 13) to trigger in-app update popups for existing users.

  • Merged and optimized duplicate channels (e.g., BTV, Gopal Bhar) for a cleaner category listing.
  • Removed unresponsive or duplicate streaming links from the main M3U list.

Installation Details:

v1.1.0 - Global Synchronized Stats & Real-Time Fluctuations

📺 What's New in v1.1.0 (Build 11)

This release introduces a deterministic, time-based synchronization system for the "Total Visits" and "Live Watching" statistics, ensuring that all active users across the world see identical, realistic, and dynamically updated stats in real-time.

🚀 Key Improvements & Updates

• Global Synchronized Stats & Real-Time Fluctuations:

  • Implemented a deterministic time-based visitor calculator. Now, all active users see the exact same Total Visits and Live Watching counts in real-time.
  • Live Watching fluctuates dynamically up and down using a slow 1-hour sine wave (+/- 25 watchers) and a fast 20-second noise (+/- 4 watchers) to simulate real traffic fluctuations.
  • Total Visits grows steadily over time (1 new visit every 90 seconds) based on time elapsed since a fixed benchmark date.

• First-Time Visitor Disclaimer Modal & Footer Link (From v1.0.9):

  • Integrated a visitor disclaimer popup modal (tracked via localStorage) that displays streaming disclaimers to first-time visitors.
  • Aligned Disclaimer modal size and styling with the existing Privacy Policy modal.
  • Added a dedicated footer quick link ("Disclaimer") for manual review.

📺 What's New in v1.0.9 (Build 10)

🚀 Key Improvements & Updates

• First-Time Visitor Disclaimer Modal:

  • Implemented an overlay popup modal to display streaming/liability disclaimers for first-time visitors.
  • Integrated localStorage visitor tracking (alpha_tv_disclaimer_accepted) so the popup appears only once per browser or native app installation.

• UI Refinements & Alignment:

  • Adjusted the Disclaimer card sizing and responsive layout (max-width: 500px) to perfectly match the Privacy Policy modal.
  • Added a flex box alignment, warning exclamation icon, and a subtle border divider underneath the disclaimer modal header.

• Manual Review Trigger:

  • Integrated a dedicated "Disclaimer" quick link inside the footer navigation to allow users to manually trigger and review disclaimers at any time.

• Layout & Style Compatibility:

  • Implemented display rules to guarantee paragraphs separate cleanly on native mobile WebViews.
  • Added 3D neumorphic shadow and background overrides for compatibility with the Neumorphic layout style mode.
