Duplicate Continue Watching cards for the same title are merged, and Trakt and Simkl imports carry the proper TMDB and IMDb numbers. * Plex accounts now show their link code straight away. * The sleep timer in the iOS player's more menu now has its own icon so it lines up with the other menu items. * Fixed posters and ratings taking up to a minute to load, or staying empty altogether, when a single server was slow or unreachable. * (iPhone) Live TV channels now sit in one continuous list instead of separate cards, with a progress bar showing what is on right now. * (iPad) The Live TV sidebar now matches the Apple TV app: a narrower folder column, tighter rows, and more room for the channel list. * Live matches now move to the Live section as soon as they kick off, even when the live score feed has no data for them. * Sports match pages now show which playlist each guide result comes from, both in the watch list and the reminders, so identical channels from different playlists are no longer indistinguishable. * Added a A–Z scrubber to the Movies and Series grids on iPhone and iPad: drag the handle on the right to jump through your library by letter, with haptic feedback, whenever sorting is set to A–Z. ### 1.5.2 — 2026-09-07 * Sports: matches that are currently being played now appear under Live instead of staying in Upcoming matches. * Added an ‘’All Series/Movies’’ folder in the Series/Movies sidebar. * On iPad the Done button now appears in the top bar while moving channels or categories, and the drag handle no longer overlaps the programme times. * Movie and Series folders now have the same long-press menu as Live TV, so you can edit and move them right from the sidebar. * Improved loading speed for the content editor and channel and folder long-press menus. * Improved the iOS sidebar’s folder organization and provider headings to match tvOS. * Fixed oversized Continue Watching cards on iPad by displaying them as posters. * Added “Play from the beginning” to catch-up channel menus. * Added a Restart Stream option and automatic reconnection for live streams. * Playlist layouts and top bar settings are now saved separately for each profile. * Fixed duplicate posters in Recently Added. ### 1.5.1 — 2026-09-05 * Fixed Emby login crashing the app. * Reworked the long press menu on channels + folders. Manage your channels or folders easier with a single click. * You can now copy channels and folders to other playlists. * Fixed subscription upgrades for existing Premium users. * Fixed an issue preventing existing subscribers from purchasing Lifetime on iPhone and iPad. * Fixed the Live TV progress bar not updating on iPhone and iPad. * Added live previews with a frozen background to the tvOS and iPad overlay TV guides, including manual channel selection and improved sidebar layout. * Fixed empty Emby libraries and improved browsing performance for large movie and series folders. * Added movie collections to detail pages. * You can now reorder your followed teams and leagues: hold OK on Apple TV or press and hold on iPhone and iPad, choose Move, and put them in the order you want. Your order syncs across your devices. ### 1.5 — 2026-09-04 * Introducing a new mediaserver to NowSeen; Plex! * Movies & series now sync instantly to your continue watching row. * On iOS you can now swipe down on the player to close it, or, with picture in picture enabled, shrink it into the floating window with a smooth zoom out animation. * The design of the player controls on iPad and iPhone has been updated. The buttons are now grouped together in a pill-shaped layout. The iPad controls have been aligned with those of tvOS; consequently, the iPad now features an EPG overlay for quickly switching between TV channels. * Toggles on the Watch Status, profile and content editor screens now show green when switched on instead of turning into an unreadable all white switch. * The sort button no longer appears in the Favorites and Recently added folders, since those always keep their own order. * Fixed Mac crashing for new users when adding a playlist. * Favorites in Live TV now opens instantly, even on large playlists with many favorite movies and series. * The action pill at the bottom of Content Editor on iPhone is now larger, with bigger icons and roomier tap targets. * Series now show a Skip Intro button while the intro plays, and the Next Episode button appears exactly when the closing credits start. You can turn this off or let it skip on its own under Settings, Player settings, Player, where you will find Skip intro and Skip intro automatically. * New player setting Use forced when available: movies and series now start with the forced subtitle track in your default subtitle language when the title has one, and keep using the regular subtitles when it does not. * Episodes that your media server actually has now play right away, even when TMDB still lists a future air date because the season dropped in one go on the streaming service, while episodes the server is genuinely missing keep showing the reminder. * Catch-up now plays as a channel timeline instead of a single programme, so the bar runs all the way to LIVE, the whole bar is scrubbable, playback carries on into the next programme, and it starts in a couple of seconds instead of half a minute. * Fixed iCloud sync silently breaking after a change token expired, which could leave newly added or removed playlists missing on other devices. * Collapsed playlists now stay collapsed, so when you fold a playlist in Live TV, Movies or Series it stays that way when you switch tabs or restart the app. * The picture, buffer and decoding options in the player's more menu are now grouped under a single Settings entry, so the menu stays short and the options you rarely touch are one step away instead of filling the list. * Titles now follow your metadata language and fall back to English when no translation exists, so films and series no longer show up in Japanese, Chinese, Korean or Cyrillic script. * Catchup is now a premium feature. * Playlist sections in Content Editor can now be collapsed and expanded by selecting the playlist name. * Your Trakt watchlist, your own lists and the lists you liked now show up as folders under Movies and Series, which you can rename, reorder or switch off in the content editor. ### 1.4.1 — 2026-08-31 HOTFIX Fixed continue watching items not updating & working correctly. ## More apps by Ricardo Dimmendaal - [QRJam Player](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/qrjam-player/id6771815102) All apps by Ricardo Dimmendaal: https://appshunter.io/developer/6771815104 ## Related topics [tvmate](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/tvmate) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
