• Picture in Picture (Pro): play another channel full screen while Picture in Picture keeps going. When you close it, the Picture in Picture channel gets its sound back. • A new button in the player switches the sound between Picture in Picture and the full-screen channel. • Artwork loads faster and is saved on your device, so it no longer disappears when you scroll or change sections. • Movies and shows without artwork from your provider now show a matching poster when one is available, and channels without a logo use the one from your program guide. • Continue Watching now remembers your place after just one minute. • Very large M3U playlists no longer close the app. If a playlist is too big for your device, the app tells you and suggests adding it as an Xtream Codes connection. • Loading errors now name the step that failed and never show your username or password. • Large catalogs and guides get more time to download, and a guide that fails no longer stops your channels from loading. • Refresh now sits right under your connections in Settings. • Opening a channel right after closing another no longer stops the new one.
