Updates since the previous public release, 0.8.2:

  • Search: find programmes and films in the cached BBC catalogue using the native Apple TV keyboard, with dictation/iPhone keyboard where supported.
  • 4K UHD category: daily BBC UHD webpage refresh plus cached discoveries, without scanning every programme's episodes. Mixed-quality seasons show all episodes with individual 4K tags. The editorial UHD list is not guaranteed exhaustive.
  • Programme Info: thumbnail, title, full synopsis, original broadcast date, runtime, quality and guidance where supplied. Bounded scrolling layout replaces the native expanding-summary crash path. Back hides the overlay; a second immediate press exits playback.
  • Playback speed: native 0.5×–2× choices for on-demand video.
  • Clearer playback badges: outlined 4K / FHD / HD / SD labels, improved spacing and contrast, and cleaner live metadata. 4K reports received resolution, not HDR status.
  • Live Top Shelf: one-click landscape channel cards with current programme artwork. Put Beeb in the top row and press Up.
  • Regional feeds: 16 BBC One regions and three BBC Two feeds, selected in Settings and used from Live and Top Shelf. Top Shelf artwork follows the default channel schedule.
  • Cleaner homepage: taller banner with remote left/right navigation, consistent row spacing, larger cards, portrait-only Stream Every Episode posters and no redundant “Explore programme” text.
  • Installation fixes: Top Shelf extension included; Finder/AppleDouble metadata excluded to avoid invalid extension placeholder errors.

4K HLG HDR, native subtitles and Show on Skip Back, skip intro/recap, Continue Watching, Up next and bookmarks remain available. UHD still needs your own working TwinVine configuration. HD/live TV do not require TwinVine.

Installation and features · IPA signing guide · TwinVine setup

Keep your signing team and app identifier unchanged when updating to preserve your existing app identity. Signing tools must support nested tvOS extensions; Xcode source installation is the fallback.

Unsigned Release build, app/extension structure, archive integrity and release checks passed. Simulator checks cover the Info/Back behaviour, speed menu and regional selection. Physical installation of this unsigned 0.10.7 package requires your own signing and has not been tested on another user's setup.

Unofficial and not produced or endorsed by the BBC. BBC availability restrictions apply. GPL-3.0-or-later; see source attribution.
