MovieBox Android 0.10.0: audio tracks and sleep timer
The terminal client's 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.
- Pick the audio track on streams with several audio tracks in one file.
- Set a sleep timer for 5 to 60 minutes or the end of the episode.
- 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's own 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.apksupports 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.
- Users on 0.9.0 must install this version manually once; users on 0.9.1 can update in place.
app-debug.apkis attached for adb debugging and installs beside the release build because it now has the.debugpackage suffix.
Known limitations
- Opening 4KHDHub titles can crash; fixed in 0.10.1.
- Bengali and Hindi translations have not had a native-speaker review yet; corrections are coming.
- The sleep timer stops if Android kills the app; it has no foreground service.
- On some devices, the player's top buttons can sit under the status bar; a fix is planned.
- Casting and the toonplay and cinejoy/flixer providers are not included.
