Changelog

v2.0.0

April 2026

New features

Fully refreshed experience

Mobile

Home, Smart Collections and Settings redesigned to match Android TV navigation and reduce taps.

Fewer screens to reach Live TV, VOD and collection editing.

TMDB: bring your own API key (Premium)

Mobile

Your TMDB API key can sync securely with your account so metadata stays available across devices. Add your key in Settings → General; Premium is required for TMDB discovery and enrichment. GridStreamr does not issue TMDB keys.

Rich posters, descriptions, and metadata for movies and series in smart collections - under your TMDB account and their terms.

Smarter M3U and playlist structure

Mobile

Smart Collections distinguish M3U and Xtream sources and surface clearer structure for content - live TV, movies, and series - with improved metadata and counts so large libraries stay organized.

Less manual cleanup: imports are easier to reason about, browse, and curate whether your source is M3U or Xtream.

Resume playback and cross-device sync

Mobile

Continue watching is improved for movies and series, with progress synced through your GridStreamr account - including when you move between phone and Android TV while signed in.

Pick up where you left off without hunting for your place in a series or film.

OpenSubtitles: subtitle search and download (Premium)

Mobile

Search and download subtitles directly within the player using your OpenSubtitles account. Subtitles are matched against your currently playing content and available in dozens of languages. Sign in with your OpenSubtitles username and password in Settings → General.

Watch movies and series with accurate subtitles in your language - fetched on demand without leaving the app.

Android playback upgrades

Mobile

Android phone/tablet player switched to the same playback stack as Android TV.

More consistent playback behaviour across phone, tablet and TV.
