Android TV crash-fix release — focused on TCL and other low-memory Android TVs.

  • Fixed the Android TV app crashing on TCL TVs: a WebView renderer crash (heavy video or out-of-memory) now rebuilds the player instead of killing the app
  • Removed the emoji startup component that could crash the app at launch on TVs without Google font services
  • If the app ever crashes, it now shows the exact crash reason on screen at next launch
  • Player page now renders correctly on older TV browsers (Chromium < 87) — content layers no longer collapse to a black screen
  • Player skips unplayable videos and images (unsupported codec) instead of hanging on a black screen
  • Hidden videos now release the TV's video decoder, reducing memory pressure
  • App is now visible in TCL/AOSP launchers that only index standard apps
  • Website install guide: new TCL troubleshooting section (Android System WebView, Safe Guard, Play Protect)

Note: if the app still crashes after updating, open it again — it will display the crash reason on screen. Please report that text via Help → Report an Issue.
