What's New

Ace Stream P2P Streaming Integration

Replaced the previous web-based streaming integration with native Ace Stream support. Ace Stream uses peer-to-peer technology to deliver high-quality live F1 streams directly to the device.

  • The app searches the P2P network for available F1 channels, sorted by language (English first) and stream quality (4K, FHD, HD).
  • Sky Sports Main Event UK is pinned as the top recommendation with a "Reliable" badge, as it consistently broadcasts F1 in English.
  • A built-in stream preview allows users to verify the stream is correct (language, quality) before launching in Ace Player, avoiding the 30-second ad that Ace Player plays on each stream start.
  • Requires the free Ace Stream app to be installed separately. The app provides setup guidance if Ace Stream is not detected.
  • Automatic engine detection on app launch with background wake-up.

Live Screen Tabbed Interface

The live session screen now uses two tabs when a session is active:

  • Timing (default): Displays the live timing sheet with driver positions, gaps, tyre compounds, and lap data.
  • Stream: Houses the Ace Stream integration in a dedicated view, keeping the timing data uncluttered.

Automatic Timezone Detection

All session times (schedule, countdown, race details) now use the device's local timezone instead of a hardcoded region. Users worldwide will see correct local times without any manual configuration.

UI Improvements

  • Streams list is vertically scrollable with no cap on visible channels.
  • Preview and error states include a prominent back-to-channels button at the top of the view.
  • ExoPlayer buffering timeout extended to 15 seconds for P2P streams that take longer to initialize.
  • Initial loading state shows a spinner instead of briefly flashing "Engine Offline" on app launch.
  • Preview error state retains the option to launch directly in Ace Player even if the in-app preview fails.

Update Instructions

Click the Update Now button to trigger the automated download and installation flow.

🛠 Prerequisites

If this is your first time updating the application manually, your device may require additional permissions:

  • Enable "Install from Unknown Sources": When prompted, navigate to your device settings to allow the installation.

⚠️ Troubleshooting: "Package conflicts"

If you encounter a "Package conflicts with an existing package" error, it is due to a signing key mismatch from a recent development environment migration. Please follow these steps:

  1. Download: Click Update to download the new APK.
  2. Uninstall: Remove the current version of the app from your device.
  3. Manual Install: Open your Downloads folder and tap the APK to install it manually.

Note: This manual fix is only required once. Future updates will proceed normally.
