dopeIPTV 0.6.4

A stability-and-housekeeping release: 4K plays smoothly, the app no longer
bloats or slows down over time, and live TV recovers from drops on its own
— plus continue watching, EPG reminders, and a discreet update check.

Highlights: smooth 4K playback · caches that can't bloat over time · live auto-reconnect (with a toggle) · double-click to play TV · continue watching & reminders · discreet update badge.

Full release notes — click to expand

Smooth 4K & playback stability

  • Fixed the periodic 4K stutter. The resume-position save was rewriting the whole multi-MB settings file every 12 s — it now lives in its own small file, so playback is never hitched by it.
  • Fixed the video stutter when dragging the volume slider (and other quick settings): the big TMDB/Trakt caches shared that same file, so they've moved to a dedicated cache.ini and small writes are instant.
  • Hardware decoding on by default (hwdec=auto-copy-safe) for smooth 4K across GPUs, with DOPEIPTV_HWDEC / DOPEIPTV_DEMUX_MAX / DOPEIPTV_VIDEO_SYNC escape hatches for tinkerers.
  • Audio no longer goes silent after switching a movie to a TV channel (the audio track is reset per stream).

No bloat or slow-down over time

  • TMDB caches are now capped so months of browsing can't grow them without bound.
  • EPG guides are gzip-compressed on disk (hundreds of MB → tens) — both the raw guide and the parsed index.
  • Orphaned EPG caches are cleaned up at startup — guides for playlists you've removed no longer pile up (this alone can reclaim gigabytes).
  • New Settings → Playback → "Refresh guide now" and "Clear EPG cache".

Live TV

  • Live streams reconnect on drop instead of freezing on the last frame.
  • "Auto-reconnect live streams" toggle — turn it off on a single-connection/shared account so the app doesn't grab the connection back from another device.
  • Zap conveniences: a "last channel" key and type-a-number to jump.
  • Double-click to play a channel by default (single-click / arrow-key zapping is now an opt-in setting).
  • Account status panel: expiry, days left, and connections for the selected provider.

Continue watching & Recently added

  • Continue watching for partly-watched movies and episodes, with the series' artwork + name on episode rows — shown under both Movies and Series.
  • Recently added — newest Movies and Series first.

EPG & reminders

  • Programme reminders — get notified when a show starts, then tune straight in.
  • Clearer loading: a centred spinner and a label that names exactly what's loading.

Player extras

  • Next-episode button and auto-play the next episode at the end.
  • Sleep timer — stop playback after a chosen number of minutes (presets or a custom value).
  • Stats-for-nerds fixes (no more blank rows).

Trakt & Settings

  • Simpler Trakt connect (connect via browser).
  • Watched rows are named from Trakt's own title when TMDB has no match.

Polish & fixes

  • Discreet update badge on the Settings button when a newer release is out (once-a-day background check; opt out in Settings → Interface).
  • Sidebar rail collapses/expands smoothly within a single drag and snaps clean on release.
  • Version numbers realigned, a latent startup crash fixed, and debug scaffolding removed.
