What's new in v1.1

  • No API keys needed on the TV — the Telegram app credentials (api_id / api_hash) are compiled into the release APK. Setup is now just the Telegram BotFather token, or skip the bot entirely and log in with your Telegram account by QR.
  • Resume playback — watch progress is saved locally; the details screen offers Continue / Play Again, and titles watched to the end are marked as seen.
  • In-player settings panel (press MENU/INFO while playing): subtitle & audio track switching, playback speed (0.25x–2x) and a resolution cap (Auto/4K/1080p/…) without leaving the video. Hold MENU for a quick subtitles on/off.
  • Your library survives restarts — chats and videos are indexed in a local SQLite database (VideoLibrary), so even bot mode reopens your full library instantly after a cold start, and "Remove from TGTV" keeps titles hidden across scans.
  • Zero-credential QR-first login — with baked credentials the login screen goes straight to the Telegram "Link device" QR.
  • Details screen now shows cast & crew (TMDB credits) and a quality badge (1080p, 4K, WEB-DL…).
  • Subtitles render anchored to the TV screen (not the letterboxed video) with a Small/Medium/Large size setting; wake lock held during playback so boxes no longer sleep mid-audio.

Files

  • TGTV-v1.1-v7a.apk (~24 MB) — recommended for all Android TVs, including Mi Box, Shield, Fire TV, Chromecast
  • TGTV-v1.1-universal.apk (~96 MB) — all 4 ABIs, for emulators / exotic arm64 devices

Both signed with the same debug certificate as v1.0 — installs straight over your existing version.
