Nettle 1.0.1

Tip

⬇️ Downloads: these are the only files you need

Easiest: devall96.github.io/Nettle picks the right one for your device.

Already using Nettle? Settings → Updates → Check now installs this for you, on Windows, Linux and Android TV.
Everything else under Assets (.nupkg, .json, RELEASES) is read by the built-in updater: you can ignore it.

A fix for Android TV on Android 9, 10, 11 and 12, where Nettle closed right after signing in, and a screen that tells you why if Nettle ever closes unexpectedly. Nothing changes on Windows or Linux; they get the new number so every platform keeps sharing one version.

📺 Android TV: fixed a crash on Android 9 to 12

  • Nettle closed as soon as you signed in, and then every time you opened it, on TVs and boxes running Android 9, 10, 11 or 12. That includes many TVs with Android TV built in (Hisense, Sony, TCL, Philips…) and the NVIDIA Shield.
  • Why: the app used a system function that only exists on Android 13 and newer, in the code that builds every request to your server. Signing in didn't use it, so the sign-in screen worked; the first request after it didn't. Nettle had only been tested on an Android 14 box, where the function exists.
  • If you were affected, install this version by hand once: in the Downloader app, enter the code 3148086 again (full steps). The broken version can't get far enough to update itself. Your saved sign-in is kept.
  • So it can't come back: the shared code is now checked, every time Nettle is built, against what Android 9 has. A call that older TVs don't have stops the build instead of reaching your TV.
  • Thank you to the Reddit user who tried Nettle on a Hisense TV and reported it.

📺 Android TV: Nettle now says why it closed

  • New: if Nettle ever closes unexpectedly, the next start tells you why. Instead of going straight back to the screen that failed, it opens on a "Nettle closed unexpectedly last time" screen with the error, and two ways on: Try again, or Go to the sign-in screen without opening the last profile. Before, a crash on Home repeated on every start, and the only way out was clearing the app's data in the TV's settings.
  • It makes problems reportable from a TV. Take a photo of that screen and post it in an issue: it names the Nettle version, the Android version, the device and where the error happened.
  • Nothing is sent anywhere. The error is saved in the app's private folder on the TV and only ever shown on that screen. Sign-in tokens in it are masked; it may show your server's address.
  • Errors now show real names (which part of Nettle, which line) instead of scrambled ones. The app file is about 0.5 MB larger for it.

Windows and Linux

  • No changes. 1.0.1 is the same app as 1.0.0.

Note

Tested on Android 9 emulators (a plain Android 9 image and the Android TV one): 1.0.0's code closes there right after sign-in with exactly this error, and 1.0.1 signs in, shows Home, reopens into it and plays an episode. It hasn't been run on a real Android 9 to 12 TV yet, so if you have one, a report either way is very welcome.
