0.6.8
VodMax 0.6.8 has a new look, made for the TV first: translucent "glass" bars and panels over the artwork of what you are watching, and the Inter typeface on every screen. It also speaks four more languages.
New look
- Home: the featured title sits under the menu with its title logo and a backdrop that fades into the page; rows with "See all", badges for rating and quality, live channels as coloured tiles.
- Movie and series pages: full-page backdrop, title logo, cast with photos, episodes side by side, and a new "Similar titles" row from your own catalog.
- Live TV: zapping banner, controls and channel list in dark glass over the picture; the channel list filters as you type.
- TV guide: the focused programme is shown in a panel above the grid (picture, status, actions); replay and recording marks on the cells; the guide also opens over the live picture, which keeps playing in a window.
- Channels without a logo get a tile with their initials instead of a broken image.
- Settings → Appearance: accent colour (seven choices), pure black for OLED screens, reduced effects, text size, and a screensaver with the catalog's backdrops and the time.
- TVs start with reduced effects (no blur, no animations), because blur over moving video costs frames on TV graphics chips. You can turn the full effects on in Settings → Appearance.
- TMDB now also brings the title logo, cast photos and the IMDb id.
Languages
- The interface, the server messages, the Android app and the LG TV launcher are now also in Spanish, French, German and Polish (thanks to the Reddit user who asked for Polish). The assistant answers in the chosen language.
- Series folders named "Sezon 2" and episodes named "Odcinek 3" or "Folge 3" are recognised in local collections.
Fixes
- On a 1920-pixel TV the top menu no longer pushes the settings button off screen when the Downloads tab appears; with long translations the less used sections become icons.
- With the remote, Up and Down move between rows without stopping on "See all"; in Settings, Left and Back return to the section list.
Updating
vodmax-update on a server, the new image for Docker. The database does not change. TMDB details are fetched again the first time each title is opened (for the logo and the cast photos).
In breve
VodMax 0.6.8 cambia aspetto, pensato prima di tutto per la TV: barre e pannelli di "vetro" sopra le immagini del titolo, carattere Inter ovunque, scheda del film con logo, cast con le foto e "Titoli simili", guida con il programma a fuoco in un pannello e la guida sopra la diretta. In Impostazioni → Aspetto si scelgono colore d'accento, nero OLED, effetti ridotti, dimensione del testo e salvaschermo. Sulle TV gli effetti ridotti partono accesi, per non rallentare. Nuove lingue: spagnolo, francese, tedesco e polacco. Il database non cambia.
