URL/web zones can now display local network sites and intranet dashboards (http://192.168.x.x/...).

Grid layouts now play on this device — build an R×C grid in the dashboard, merge adjacent cells into bigger regions, and each region plays its own content. Existing layouts are unchanged.

Multi-zone screens with a YouTube or web zone no longer reload the whole layout — your other zones (photos, videos) keep playing without restarting when the web zone refreshes. You can also now set each photo's transition speed to Slow, Medium or Fast.

Photos can now glide in with a slide transition instead of a hard cut. Pick a style per photo — Fade, Slide, Zoom, Boxes, Swirl or Fly-by — or choose Auto to rotate through them. Set it on each image in your layout's playlist. Videos keep playing full-screen with no transition.

The on-screen settings button is now completely invisible while content plays — no more faint dark circle over your media. It appears only when you point a mouse at it or focus it with the TV remote; the long-press menu still opens settings as before.

App and URL zones now count toward analytics. Screens showing an app zone (clock, weather, a web page) previously reported no playback at all — the Analytics page showed them idle and "now playing" stayed empty. The player now records a device-signed playback entry every minute while an app zone is on screen, so plays, air time and live status are accurate for app-based layouts too.

The settings button is now discreet — near-invisible until you focus it (remote) or hover it (mouse), and it hides after 30 seconds of inactivity. Tap/click still opens settings as before.

Reliability + UX: screens now get a device-fit 1080p version of 4K media (no more stuck downloads / black video), Android TV honors portrait layouts, players reclaim storage automatically, a polished animated loading screen, an always-on glass settings button, and in-app Help & Troubleshooting.

Version reset to 1.0.0 (display only; same player build, version code kept climbing so the fleet still updates).

Hardened OTA installer: the downloaded APK is now verified complete before installing; truncated downloads are discarded and retried. Fixes 'there was a problem parsing the package' on auto-update.

Unpair now fully wipes the device (cached media + DB + credentials, stops services) so deleted devices can't replay old content; plus decode-capability reporting and resolution-skip from prior builds.

Published by rollout@nextdooh

Resolution compatibility: the player now reports its hardware decode limits, skips & deletes clips it can't decode (after a 30s download status), and the server serves a fitting rendition.

Unified remote-control: reboot/power-off now use a device-owner -> root -> system fallback chain and report which method ran; first-launch permission onboarding; capability reporting to the dashboard.

YouTube videos no longer show captions/subtitles on screen.

Fixed the setup/downloading screen so the cloud icon and the Downloading text both sit fully on screen on every TV (compact, centred, overscan-safe).

Screens that previously showed only one video when a layout had multiple video zones can now play a second video zone too (software-decoded). If the second video stutters on an older screen, use a lower-resolution clip or an image/app in that zone.

The setup/downloading screen no longer gets cut off at the bottom on TVs. And if a screen can't play all of its video zones at the same time, it now clearly tells you to reduce the number of video zones.

Fresh look while your screen sets up: the downloading and ready/waiting screens now have a rich blue gradient, an animated cloud, a smooth progress bar and a softly pulsing nextdooh logo.

Grid layouts now render on screen exactly as you set them in the editor — including resized rows/columns and merged regions. Plus a new nextdooh app icon and TV banner.

Screens now resume the same content position after an automatic update or reboot instead of starting over. Power controls (reboot / power-off) also use more methods on capable devices.

Published by [email protected]

Screens with several video zones now try harder to play them all at once (software-decode fallback). If a screen's hardware can't decode that many videos simultaneously, it shows an on-screen notice asking you to reduce the number of video zones in that layout.

Grid layouts now play on this device — build an R×C grid in the dashboard, merge adjacent cells into bigger regions, and each region plays its own content. Existing layouts are unchanged.

YouTube zones on Android TV now self-recover: if the video stops for any reason (internet drop, error, or it fails to start), the player waits 5 minutes and starts it again automatically. Normal looping is still seamless, with no play button and no interruption to the other zones.

YouTube zones on Android TV now loop seamlessly — the video restarts from the beginning automatically with no play button and no pause at the end, and without interrupting the other zones on the screen.

1.3.14 - CRITICAL fix: setup-screen gradient used an invalid angle (145, not a multiple of 45) causing an InflateException crash-loop on the pairing screen in 1.3.11-1.3.13. Also logs uncaught crashes to logcat. Includes the right-click menu + expanded Settings.

1.3.10 - blank-screen fix: recover from ExoPlayer errors (skip a bad/corrupt/not-yet-downloaded video instead of freezing on a black frame), auto-relaunch the player on any fatal crash instead of going dark, crash-proof playback logging (no java.time on the hot path), and guard empty playlists. Builds on the 1.3.9 Android-7 desugaring fix.

Published by [email protected]

1.3.9 — CRITICAL Android-7 fix: enable java.time desugaring so rk3288/API-25 no longer crash-loops in logPlayback (was stuck cycling one video). Includes 'Nextdooh' branding + X banner + 1.3.7 resilience.
