Version 2.0 of our popular Android TV and Fire TV apps are rolling out to stores now. This version brings many internal improvements for playback and also supports the new features in the upcoming 4.6 release of the server. Your device should update automatically when available. Improved Subtitle Support These apps can now natively render most types of advanced subtitles (Dual Layer PGS/SSA etc.) with full formatting and multiple sub placements without requiring the server to transcode or burn in. With supported external subtitles you can also adjust the placement and time offset of the subtitle display. Improved Playback We've implemented several customizations to the Google player the app utilizes that provide us with even more direct play in more situations and also simplified some of the playback options to allow you to choose how your media plays. Tags View You can now see tags for movies and albums on their detail page and also view other items with the same tags by clicking on them. Tags are also returned in search results. Artist Songs Directly view and access songs right from an artist page. 4.6 Server Support Version 2.0 of these apps fully support some of the new features coming in the 4.6 server release like channel grouping, improved channel logos and an improved Continue Watching display.
