Release OwnTV v3.1.2 · ahXN00/OwnTV

v3.1.2 — 2026-06-21

Surround sound is now off by default (opt-in), with a safety net — v3.1.1's multichannel-LPCM surround
(on by default) broke playback on some TVs that claim 5.1 over HDMI but mis-play it: series with
multichannel (Dolby/DTS) audio played at double speed with no sound (movies/live were fine). Surround
is now off by default — leave it off on TV speakers / stereo soundbars (clean stereo), turn it on
for a real 5.1/7.1 receiver. When on, OwnTV pins a widely-compatible 16-bit / 48 kHz output and, if it
still detects that double-speed/no-sound runaway, auto-switches that session to stereo so playback
never breaks. (#25)
Live TV recovers from connection drops — if a live channel froze mid-watch (a brief Wi-Fi/provider
hiccup), it used to stay stuck until you backed out and re-opened it. Live now auto-reconnects from the
live edge after a drop or stall, retrying with back-off; if it still can't recover, the on-screen Retry
takes over.
Screen no longer sleeps during Live TV — because live plays on the ExoPlayer engine, the TV
screensaver could start mid-channel; the screen is now held awake while watching live (full-screen and
PiP), just as it already was for movies and series.
