@rajupp rajupp released this 27 Oct 19:35

New

  • Live football scores. A Football row and score line like cricket's, from ESPN's public scoreboard, with no
    key needed: Premier League, Champions League, LaLiga, Serie A, Bundesliga, ISL, MLS and more. Each country starts
    with its own leagues; change them in Talkies settings → Football leagues. Updates every minute while a match is on.
  • Live scores setting: cricket, football, both or off.
  • Pin and hide apps. Hold OK on an app: Add to dock, Remove from dock, or Hide (it stays installed).
    Talkies settings → Hidden apps brings them back.
  • Keys and location on the TV. Type or paste your TMDB key, CricketData key and weather location in Talkies
    settings → Keys and location; no computer needed. Keys are checked with the service before they're saved.
  • Talkies settings, separate from Control Center. Control Center keeps the quick actions (sleep timer, turn off,
    memory, network, speed test, sound, screensaver); everything you set once moved to Talkies settings, opened from
    Control Center's last row or by holding OK on the ⚙ icon.

Changed

  • A Test match at stumps, lunch, tea or a rain delay shows as paused, not live; a live football match then takes
    the score line, and its row moves above Cricket.
  • The score line shows the football league: "● LIVE Serie A · 54' · SAS 2–4 LAZ".
  • New installs start with Watch Next and each app's own home-screen row instead of the author's channel choice
    (TVs that had Talkies before keep theirs).
  • On Android TV, Home goes to a launcher you picked as the home app; the README explains switching launchers on
    Google TV, which keeps its own launcher as the home app.
  • switch-home.sh takes talkies, stock, any launcher's package name, or list.
  • Transparent images (team badges) are cached as PNG, so they don't get black backgrounds.

Fixed

  • Score rows didn't update while focus rested on them, so a live match could show in the score line but not in
    the rows.

Installing: there's no APK yet: build it from source with ./build-and-install.sh (see First-time setup in the README). Updating from 0.1.0 keeps your settings.
