StremioX 0.2.53
A batch of fixes from a full pass over the code: better ranking, a player that gives up faster on a truly dead title, and some hardening. CI builds the IPAs and attaches them here when the workflow finishes:
- StremioX-tvOS-0.2.53.ipa, the full app with the embedded streaming server.
- StremioX-tvOS-lite-0.2.53.ipa, the lighter build that plays direct and debrid links only.
Fixes
- Cached debrid streams no longer lose to torrents when an add-on's tag is unfamiliar. If an add-on labels a cached link with a service tag the app didn't recognise, that link was ranked below raw torrents. A cached link is now treated as debrid-grade regardless of the exact tag, so your instant sources stay on top.
- A foreign word in a title no longer demotes an English release. The language ranking now reads the language only from the technical tags, not the title, so a film like "The French Dispatch" or "The Italian Job" is no longer mistaken for foreign audio. A release that genuinely advertises a single foreign language still ranks below one in your language, and your own language and multi-language releases are untouched.
- The player gives up faster on a dead title. The separate retry, warm-up, and source-hopping limits could add up to minutes of spinner before the error screen on a title where nothing works. There is now an overall time limit on getting playback started, so you reach the Retry screen in good time instead of waiting it out.
Under the hood
- A large source list (thousands of streams on a popular title) no longer thrashes the ranking cache mid-screen.
- Header-gated streams: a malformed header is skipped so it can't corrupt the proxy request.
- Documented two deliberate behaviours (engine resume on an episode mismatch, and the profile PIN being a parental gate rather than a security feature) so they aren't accidentally changed later.
If a new build does not seem to install, delete the app first and reinstall, then confirm the version in Settings.
