What's new in alpha 7

Checked on the reference Philips Android 11 TV on 27 September 2026.

  • Home looks like a broadcaster's launcher. A full-width banner rotates every 8 seconds
    through app recommendations, BBC iPlayer picks, recently watched titles and one live
    programme, with the artwork running behind the menu. Left/Right on its button skips
    between picks, and it opens that title in its app. Larger artwork is requested from
    known image CDNs so the banner stays sharp.
  • Watch next is ordered by what you watched last (it previously showed the oldest
    12 entries), and Apps → Home app settings → Watch next apps chooses which apps may
    add to it.
  • BBC iPlayer row of popular episodes that open the exact episode (from the BBC
    iPlayer thread's change), plus a crash fix for provider handoffs that also affected
    the guide.
  • Faster artwork. Jellyfin pictures are fetched resized from the Jellyfin server
    rather than through its slow TV image provider, and all artwork is cached on disk.
  • Pluto TV channels work again. Pluto 17 (Paramount build, 23 Sept 2026) rejected the
    old web route; TellyGrid now sends plutotv://live-tv/<channel id>.
  • discovery+ opens the live channel for Discovery, TLC, Quest, Investigation
    Discovery, Quest Red, Animal Planet, Food Network, DMAX, Really, Discovery Science,
    Discovery Turbo and Discovery History, using
    https://play.discoveryplus.com/channel/watch/<channel>/<edit> links. HGTV was removed
    because the UK app does not carry it.
  • Home live TV cards open the channel the same way the guide does (TV tuner for
    Freeview channels). Freeview channels such as Sky Mix no longer appear on the NOW row,
    and the "Ones to watch" row is gone.
  • New look: Plus Jakarta Sans throughout (SIL OFL, see docs/PlusJakartaSans-OFL.txt),
    a new TellyGrid wordmark and Android TV banner/icon, one shared style for Settings,
    Guide filters, Guide preferences and Search, consistent spacing, and icon buttons on
    Home app settings.
  • Remote fixes: Back on the guide returns to TellyGrid Home; the guide's day tabs
    always move to/from the selected day and programme; Home rows scroll fully into view.
