✨ What's new in 1.5.0

👥 Watch Party

Watch together with friends in perfect sync. Create or join a room and everyone follows the host's play / pause / seek live. Includes in‑player text chat, a participants list, request‑to‑control, and automatic host hand‑off if the host drops.

💬 Auto subtitles

Subtitles now auto‑select your preferred language and download a matching track automatically — including Indian languages (Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Urdu, Malayalam) alongside the usual English/European ones. Pick your language in Settings → Playback.

🔄 CloudStream source updates

Installed CloudStream sources now tell you when an update is available — with a per‑source Update button, Update all, and an optional "source updates available" notification on launch. Toggle it in Settings → Notifications.

➕ More sources, faster

  • One‑tap recommended CloudStream repos in the "CS Add repo" dialog.
  • Same‑named extensions from different repos can now be installed side by side.
  • Recently‑resolved stream links are cached briefly, so re‑opening an episode starts almost instantly.

▶️ Player

  • Added SPlayer to the external‑player options.
  • Resume is far more reliable — it actually picks up where you left off, even on flaky hosts.

🛠️ Fixes & polish

  • In‑app updates download the right APK for your device and verify it — fixes "package appears to be invalid".
  • Downloads retry & resume instead of restarting from 0 on flaky hosts.
  • CloudStream plugin settings, Stremio add‑ons, and source labels (origin repo) fixed up.
  • Cloudflare clearances persist across restarts.
