TGTV v1.0

First full release of the Netflix-style Telegram library for Android TV.

UI overhaul

  • Netflix red/black theme throughout: black windows, charcoal cards and tiles, red accents and focus states
  • Tall 2:3 poster cards on the home grid, backed by the official TMDB poster (backdrop and Telegram thumbnail as fallbacks)
  • Bold red TGTV wordmark on the home screen
  • Details screen: stronger backdrop scrims so hero text is always readable, IMDb-style graded rating ring (80+ dark green, 70 light green, 60 yellow, 50 orange, below red), charcoal Play / Watchlist / Download buttons
  • Flat charcoal login buttons that light up red on focus

Library & metadata

  • TMDB metadata built in with a bring-your-own-key option (Settings -> TMDB metadata)
  • Resolver improvements for release-style names: byte-boundary HDRip tokens, unbalanced `(trailing
    paren groups, colon stripping, trailing-junk retries for truncated forwarded file names
  • Web-assisted title resolution (Wikipedia / DuckDuckGo -> canonical title -> TMDB) for transliterated titles

Playback & storage

  • Subtitles: embedded toggle, language priority list, OpenSubtitles fallback (BYO free API key)
  • Storage-aware playback: preflight warning for oversized videos and pause-before-disk-full watchdog
  • 2 MiB sync streaming windows and a 15 s cache monitor for diagnosing stutter
  • Two login modes: bot token (live pickup) or phone/QR for the full chat history

APKs: TGTV-v1.0-v7a.apk (any Android TV, ~24 MB) or TGTV-v1.0-universal.apk (emulators, ~96 MB). Sideload guide in the README.
