StreamDek Android Mobile v0.0.8
This update focuses on settings polish, playback reliability, stream ranking, responsiveness, and overall smoothness across the app.
Playback and stream handling
- Fixed automatic
Play/Continuestream selection so preferred quality and max file size are now applied consistently across the app. - Fixed the
4Kquality preference path so4kresults can rank correctly instead of being treated inconsistently. - Changed the default max file size to
Unlimitedfor new/default users, so large streams are not filtered out unless the user chooses a limit. - Improved stream ordering so visible stream lists follow the selected preferred quality more reliably.
- Fixed MPV/Play handoff issues where direct Play could fail even though tapping a stream manually worked.
- Restored stronger fallback behavior for autoplay and resolution so playback is more reliable across stream types.
- Added cancellation support to direct stream resolving, so users can dismiss a long-running resolving popup instead of being trapped in it.
Home screen and perceived performance
- Improved initial Home load with faster cached-first behavior.
- Reduced duplicate startup work and unnecessary refreshes.
- Home rows now update more progressively instead of waiting on too much work at once.
- Fixed Cinemeta
New MoviesandNew Seriesrows so they load correctly again. - Improved catalog-switch responsiveness and stale-data handling.
- Restored the
Networksrow in Cinemeta mode.
Settings performance and structure
- Settings was reworked into a lighter top-level shell with dedicated detail pages.
- Settings interactions now feel more immediate, with reduced blocking work and lighter picker behavior.
