Velora 1.9.2 — Search and discovery

  • Search shows local matches immediately as you type, then refreshes with the online catalog. Title normalization handles punctuation and spacing; typo recovery uses known popular, bundled and cached catalog titles.
  • Examples covered by ranking tests: iro / irbot → I, Robot; finding → Finding Nemo and Finding Dory. Actual online results depend on the metadata service.
  • Kids search now uses the online catalog instead of only the small bundled Kids list. Newly discovered results require an approved US kids/family rating; unknown or unavailable ratings are not accepted. The existing curated/discovered Kids allowlist is retained.
  • Keep search suggestions visible when a query has no close match or the network is unavailable. Related titles are labelled separately from direct results.
  • Store watch history locally per profile after at least 15 seconds of advancing playback. Use recent watched titles and genre interests for recommendations alongside trending and older catalog titles. Opening a title alone does not count as watched.
  • Retain 1.9.1 launcher compatibility, Back handling, existing activation menu, updater and signing certificate.

Version 1.9.2 (49). Package app.velora.tv.

Validation: Java/D8 compilation; Java and JavaScript prefix/typo ranking tests; Finding title fixtures; local history isolation/persistence; Back-routing tests; packaged asset and original engine checks; APK signing and alignment.
Physical TV search, live metadata/rating lookups and playback-history capture still require device testing.
