MovieBox Android 0.9.1 — player fixes

The terminal client engine behind a native Compose interface. No accounts, no telemetry: everything stays on the device.

What it does

  • Browse MovieBox, 4KHDHub and Dramachi: home decks, search, details with seasons and episodes, and sources by resolution.
  • Play in Media3 with CDN auth headers replayed, subtitles, playback speed, chapters, picture-in-picture and background playback.
  • Keep the display awake while playback is active; play and pause controls respond to taps, and seeking is smoother.
  • Live TV: add an M3U playlist by URL or file and watch its channels.
  • Downloads with live progress and resume, even when a signed URL expires. Finished files appear in Movies/MovieBox and the gallery on Android 10 and newer; on Android 9 and below they stay in the app Movies folder.
  • Favourites, watch history, continue watching and provider switching.
  • Bengali, Hindi and Spanish interface, a colour scheme picker (including OLED black), layouts that adapt to tablets and large text.
  • Settings → Copy diagnostic info when reporting a problem.

Install

  • app-release.apk supports arm64-v8a phones and x86_64 emulators, Android 7.0+ (minSdk 24).
  • Allow “install unknown apps” when prompted. Future versions update in place with the stable signing key.
  • app-debug.apk is attached for adb debugging and has a different signature; uninstall the release build before switching.

Known limitations

  • Bengali and Hindi translations have not had a native-speaker review yet; corrections are coming.
  • Casting and the toonplay and cinejoy/flixer providers are not included.
