FMHYPlay 2.18.6

🐞 Fixed

• No loading screen after pressing OK on Next episode (TV remote): the player acts on the key going down and closes, and the key coming back up reached the site, whose loading screen counts OK as "dismiss" and took itself down at once. Only an OK press that began on the loading screen dismisses it now.
• Next episode could get stuck on the old episode for a resumed anime when the catalog had no address for it: the app now swaps the episode number in the page's own address (…episode-3 becomes …episode-4) before trying to press the episode in the site's list.
• A page that fails to load (no network, timed out) now ends the loading screen in a few seconds with the staring cat, instead of waiting 40 seconds.

FMHYPlay 2.18.5

✨ New

• Home in one step: a house button at the top right of the player and of a website (phone); on a TV, More, Home in the player and Menu, Back to home on a site. Or hold Back for 3 seconds on any screen.
• A loading screen while the app works on a site (loading, searching, opening the episode, waiting for the stream): a translucent screen with the title, the step and a cat. Tap it or press Back to see the page; it gives up by itself if a step is stuck for 40 seconds.
• Debug overlay (More, Debug overlay, off by default): resolution, frame rate, codec and decoder, bitrates, network speed, buffer, frames shown and dropped, and more.

🔧 Changed

• Updates are looked for every hour and at every boot (it was every 12 hours, with the app open), also with the app closed. Settings, Check automatically turns it off.
• Subtitles sit 20 dp from the bottom by default (they were 100 dp up); a position you had set keeps its spot. The subtitles button shows CC and the Home house uses the accent colour.

🐞 Fixed

• Episodes opened several seconds late: the app pressed your Sub / Dub choice even when the page was already in it, then waited 6 seconds. It now waits at most 3.5 seconds and skips the press once it saw it changes nothing. Next episode went from about 11 s to about 5 s on the test phone.
• Subtitles you had on were off after resuming: picks are now remembered by title too (also a track of the stream itself), so resuming turns them on. A pick from an earlier version comes back after you open that title from its page once.
• Continue watching places were sometimes lost: the place is now saved every 10 seconds while playing, leaving right after resuming no longer wipes it, and a video the page had not recorded yet gets its entry.
• The name above the focused player button went stale (it said "English" after subtitles went off): it now follows the setting at once.
• Home and its tiles looked zoomed after a video or page in landscape on a phone.

FMHYPlay 2.18.4

• Phone top bar: the logo alone, so Search gets the room.

🐞 Fixed

• "Next episode" showed near the start of an episode (Death Note and others) instead of Skip intro: opening titles listed as credits in the skip data are now ignored.
• Next episode no longer starts by itself during the credits: the 10 second countdown is gone, only your press moves on before the video ends.
• Next from a resumed anime opens the episode's own page and returns to the player, instead of hunting for the episode on the site.
• Resuming an anime on AnimeX (and other players that load their playlist under an address without ".m3u8") stayed on the site: the playlist is noticed again, and a remembered Sub / Dub that was already playing no longer holds the video back.
• The site's own Settings / quality menu no longer opens by itself while FMHYPlay looks for servers, when the page already lists them.
• Resuming an anime could leave you on the site with "No video found" when the site remembered Dub (or Sub) and the episode didn't have it.

FMHYPlay 2.17.1

🐞 Fixed

• Dialog boost made everything quieter: it now lowers rumble and bass and lifts the level, so voices come out louder. Turning a boost off brings the sound fully back at once.

✨ New

• DLNA / UPnP casting: smart TVs from Samsung, LG, Sony, Kodi and others show up in the Cast list ("Name - DLNA"), through the phone like Chromecast.

• IPTV filters and pins: channel lists have Category and Language chips (movies, TV, kids and news first; Hindi, English, Tamil for India). The pin button keeps a list with its chips (India · News · Hindi) as its own row on the IPTV tab.

🔧 Changed

• Audio language: the language you pick on the player's Audio button is where every next video starts, when it has it (then your device's language), instead of the stream's default, often English. The list shows language names, not "stream_4".

FMHYPlay 2.16.1

🐞 Fixed

• Dialog boost is off by default again: it caused sound problems on some devices. Turn it on in Settings or with its button in the player.
• TV tabs show a ring when the remote is on them.
