An update now tells you what it brought.

  • New: after you install an update, the app shows what changed the first time it starts — naming the version you came from, listing the changes, and appearing only once. Previously an update arrived with nothing to say for itself
  • The update prompt is back to its plain wording. It had started appending a change count as soon as release notes began being published, which made updating look different when nothing about it had actually changed
  • Fixed: release notes are shown as plain sentences, instead of leaving formatting marks visible in the text

A note on this one

The panel appears on the first start after an upgrade, and it needs a previous version to compare against. Installing v1.8.3 is the run that starts recording that, so this is the release that makes it work rather than the one that shows it — you will see the panel when you move from v1.8.3 to whatever comes next. A brand-new install never shows it, because nothing is new when everything is.

Your screens

The Android TV, LG webOS and Samsung Tizen players are rebuilt at v1.8.3 but unchanged in behaviour. Nothing here affects playback, so your TVs do not need updating.

Upgrading from v1.5.2 or earlier on Android TV needs a one-time clean install (adb uninstall com.signage.tvplayer), because builds before v1.5.3 were signed with a throw-away key.
