Today we're pleased to announce immediate availability of an all-new version of our Android app.

Live TV has been a hotly requested feature for Android. Now you can manage and watch Live TV directly from the Android app. Among the features are:

  • View listings per channel

New Music Layouts

 

Music has been revamped from the ground up. Some of the highlights are:

  • A new background audio player
  • Artist views
  • Album views
  • Music genre views
  • Play all features
  • Instant mix playback

Visual Improvements

 

Nearly every screen has been revamped. Thumbs are now used to provide an extra splash of color and character. Latest media items on the home screen are grouped appropriately by series or albums.

Remote Control

 

Now Chromecast and other Media Browser apps are managed through a common layout. Whether you play to Chromecast, DLNA, or another Media Browser app, the look and feel is the same. At the bottom you'll have a nice mini controller so the remote control is never out of reach.

Playlists

 

Server playlist support is also included in this new version. Also local media queuing has been revamped. The play queue is fully interactive, and you can drag to reorganize what's playing, or drag-right to remove items.

Users will need to re-enter their connection values. Apologies, but necessary due to the changes in connectivity

 

The app will be available on Google Play in the next few hours, and in the next few days on the Amazon store.

Since updating to Version 2.0.85 none of the controls at the bottom of screen, after touching, are operational. So no pause fast forward/rewind. Then a popup saying; Media Browser isn't responding, with 3 options - Wait/ Report /OK. 

 

Edit: Please open a separate topic or this will surely be missed. Thanks.

 
Hope this will help.
