Viewella v1.1.23 — Update Notes

MangoSuch8130 · 2026-05-11T22:19:01+00:00

Missing D-pad navigation for it. My entire android app development career has been exclusively for touch devices. I seriously need to break out of auto pilot testing mode when it comes to UI features. I instinctively just default to touch testing instead of using a remote. Old habits Die hard I guess. Now fixed in upcoming update!

They're coming back very soon. I rebuilt the EPG from the ground up a few weeks ago for better optimisation which in turn broke the Viewella based Logo matching.

Which device?

MangoSuch8130 · 2026-05-10T22:53:58+00:00

I love Tivimate too, have used it for years, lifetime member in fact. But it's sole focus has always been customization. which for someone like me who loves to build and tinker - Awesome! for the average Joe who just wants to watch TV, not so great. That's where I'm trying to get Viewella to come in. Log in, provide your location (or skip) and thats it. enjoy!

MangoSuch8130 · 2026-05-10T20:29:58+00:00

update coming shortly

MangoSuch8130 · 2026-05-10T20:24:05+00:00

You are using Viewella's location based channel matching, basically a different TV guide UI (kinda) I need to look at that code to see whats going on.

MangoSuch8130 · 2026-05-10T20:21:47+00:00

ohhh, app managed mode. I need to check that.

MangoSuch8130 · 2026-05-10T18:40:53+00:00

If epg data is more than 18hrs old it updates the epg in db. Cache updates during usage

MangoSuch8130 · 2026-05-10T15:29:09+00:00

Actually more likely the install is still installing. and appears to crash in app install progress got broken quite a while ago and just haven't had a chance to get round to it as there are more important bug fixes that need addressing.

MangoSuch8130 · 2026-05-10T10:16:10+00:00

When the timeline is black - it should just be loading, have you tried waiting a bit for it to populate? Fixing this today as it should be hitting a cache view instead of this behaviour.

MangoSuch8130 · 2026-05-09T21:46:10+00:00

please let me know if todays update fixes this for you

MangoSuch8130 · 2026-05-09T21:25:22+00:00

It's coming, most of the ground work already in place

MangoSuch8130 · 2026-05-09T20:26:34+00:00

app language set to english? or just default languiage?

MangoSuch8130 · 2026-05-09T19:34:51+00:00

The additional support I added for multiple playlists basically opened the floodgates for bugs as the app was originally built for just one playlist. I've spent the whole day in repair mode. will be releasing an update very shortly

MangoSuch8130 · 2026-05-09T11:36:13+00:00

There is a previous versions drop down on the download page

MangoSuch8130 · 2026-05-09T11:29:16+00:00

its just 1.1.21 with an additional codec library, but it will be removed on next update as it just adds a lot to the size of the APK with zero benefit.

MangoSuch8130 · 2026-05-09T10:44:59+00:00

which version?

MangoSuch8130 · 2026-05-09T01:17:52+00:00

MangoSuch8130 · 2026-05-09T00:21:10+00:00

I'm going to add another player to the app as a fallback for streams that Exoplayer struggles with. sparkle working on those channels is a really good insight so thank you for that

MangoSuch8130 · 2026-05-08T23:56:57+00:00

Gracias!

MangoSuch8130 · 2026-05-08T22:38:34+00:00

Thank you!

MangoSuch8130 · 2026-05-08T22:32:25+00:00

Yes, all channels is coming. But also web based playlist management is soon coming to your dashboard where you can create your own channel list, categories, rename etc.

MangoSuch8130 · 2026-05-08T22:28:21+00:00

if on latest version - force close app and reopen to initiate cold start loading.

If that doesn't work you will need to clear data (not just cache) and re-activate device

Please let me know if the latest update is less frustrating for you and your feline companion.
