4.1.5

🌍 23 Interface Languages & Navigation Improvements

Sva Launcher now supports 23 languages:

🇬🇧 English, 🇮🇳 Hindi, 🇪🇸 Spanish, 🇫🇷 French, 🇸🇦 Arabic, 🇵🇹 Portuguese, 🇨🇳 Simplified Chinese, 🇹🇼 Traditional Chinese, 🇩🇪 German, 🇯🇵 Japanese, 🇰🇷 Korean, 🇷🇺 Russian, 🇮🇩 Indonesian, 🇹🇷 Turkish, 🇧🇩 Bengali, 🇵🇰 Urdu, 🇮🇳 Tamil, 🇮🇳 Telugu, 🇮🇳 Marathi, 🇮🇳 Gujarati, 🇮🇳 Kannada, 🇮🇳 Malayalam, and 🇮🇳 Punjabi.

✨ What's Improved: System and in-app language selection, full RTL support for Arabic and Urdu, smoother remote D-pad navigation, localized screensaver settings, improved YouTube shortcut controls, more reliable calendar handling, and refined UI formatting.

4.1.4

• Fixed D-pad navigation to Save changes and between app reorder arrows.
• Added multiline calendar feeds with independent caching and duplicate handling.
• Added accessibility settings fallbacks.
• Added TV Input shortcut beside Wi-Fi.
• Fixed screensaver clock/weather/event positioning.
• Removed the “Add a Google Photos album…” prompt.

4.1.3

• Combine channels from multiple M3U/M3U8 playlist sources entered one URL per line in Settings → Live TV. Duplicate source URLs are ignored, and duplicate channel identities are deduplicated.

• Merge programme schedules from multiple XMLTV, XMLTV.GZ, or JSON guide sources entered one URL per line. A failed source does not prevent successful sources from loading.

• Prevent stale channel category updates from being applied during rapid navigation, reducing the risk of crashes when switching quickly.

• Reduce guide refresh work by updating programme labels only on visible channel cards.

• Reduce background polling when no media is playing.

• Improve tab navigation performance by updating styling only for the previous and newly selected tabs.

4.1.2

Favourite Channels:

• Mark channels as favourites across Live TV, Settings, TV Guide, and the fullscreen video player.
• Added a dedicated ★ Favourites category tab in Live TV and in the TV Guide category selector.
• Added remote shortcut buttons (yellow button, bookmark, star) and long-press gestures to quickly toggle
favourite status.

TV Guide & Reminders:
• Hidden channels are now filtered out of the TV Guide timeline grid and programme reminders.

Lightweight Backups:
• Backups now store only launcher settings and channel preferences (hidden and favourite channels).
• Omitted raw playlist channel dumps, programme schedules, and Google Calendar event caches, reducing backup
file sizes from ~2.7 MB down to ~31 KB.
• Streamlined backup restore to immediately refresh channel visibility while safely ignoring legacy raw channel
dumps.

Controls & Navigation:
• Enhanced gamepad and remote controller mappings (pause, select, start, and back buttons) for built-in game
activities.

4.1.0

• New full-screen TV guide with programme reminders.
• Smoother animations and improved remote navigation.
• Refreshed settings, game details, and file browser.
• Dark mode by default.
• Fixed Home app-row clipping and background-loading crashes.
• Improved backup restore and multi-game selection.

4.0.1

• ClearKey DRM & Playback: Full ClearKey DASH and custom header support, plus crash-free channel switching on large playlists.
• Customisable Navigation: Reorder and toggle top-level tabs, with layout preferences saved to backup and restore.
• UI & System Polish: Refined Light Theme across all screens, resolved TV file picker crashes, and added official 16:9 Leanback banners.
