Beeb for Android TV 0.1.6 — Hotfix

Fixes for subtitles, search and the Android TV interface.

  • Live TV subtitles: added a selectable English subtitle track where BBC captions are available.
  • Native caption appearance: Android caption settings now control subtitle size, font and colours.
  • Search: moved catalogue searching into the background to prevent freezing while typing.
  • Episode descriptions: long descriptions scroll within a shorter area, keeping the Play button clear.
  • UHD compatibility: Settings and playback quality details explain device limitations that can cause Full HD fallback.

Testing

Installed successfully over the previous version and launched on a Chromecast with Google TV, retaining existing app data.

Build checks, Android lint, 19 unit tests and three emulator checks passed, including Android caption preferences, search, description layout and real BBC captions decoded through Media3.

Updating

Install Beeb-Android-0.1.6.apk over your existing installation to retain saved programmes and UHD setup.
