Startup, catalog updates and playback are more reliable across iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac. • The last good catalog now appears immediately at launch. Automatic source refresh waits until the app is usable, runs at most once per day and does not start during playback. • Large catalog upgrades no longer build a new alphabetical category index during launch. The bounded index is created later in background maintenance while all existing sources, catalog data, favorites and progress remain available. • iPhone, iPad and Apple TV persist catalog updates in smaller batches to reduce long database and CPU stalls. • Guide data stays fresh with a separate 12-hour cadence. • Native playback detects a stalled stream and reconnects up to three times. Movies and episodes keep their resume position. • Apple TV's compatibility player also detects stalled video and restarts an interrupted audio renderer. • Focused artwork and buttons are clearer, category chips are easier to distinguish, and movie details can include the director. Free playback currently has no daily app limits. Premium remains optional support for continued development. IPTVS remains a media player only. No media, playlist, provider account, stream or third-party service is included.

Catalog refreshes and search are faster and stay usable while sources update. • Large catalogs are persisted in bounded batches, reducing long database stalls. • Search returns from a bounded fallback while its derived index repairs in the background. • Catalog refresh and search-index repair no longer contend, preventing a misleading SQLite “database is malformed” error while intact metadata is being indexed. • One- and two-character searches now use indexed title-prefix matching instead of scanning the full catalog. • Home avoids redundant full-catalog reads, and details stay cached when a source is already fresh. • Automatic catalog refreshes now run at most twice per day; manual refresh remains available, while guide data keeps its separate cadence. • Stalled source downloads time out while the last good catalog remains available. • Search results remain complete after refreshes, including titles with punctuation such as apostrophes. • On Apple TV, scrolling results no longer draw over the inline keyboard, and navigation-rail focus is more reliable. • Continue Watching is now centralized on Home instead of being repeated in Movies and Series. • Apple TV subtitle and audio-track choices use cleaner, more predictable focus styling. The database upgrades are constant-size trigger replacements. They perform no catalog backfill, table rewrite or full foreign-key scan. Existing sources, credentials, favorites, cached catalog metadata and viewing progress are preserved. Free playback currently has no daily app limits. Premium remains optional support for continued development. IPTVS remains a media player only. No media, playlist, provider account, stream or third-party service is included.

Search and Apple TV navigation are more reliable in this update. • Search results remain complete after catalog refreshes, including titles with punctuation such as apostrophes. • Existing catalog databases repair their search index automatically without discarding downloaded catalog data. • On Apple TV, pressing Down from any inline keyboard key now reaches the current results. • On Apple TV, Movies and Series can leave the navigation rail immediately while Continue Watching data is still resolving from iCloud. Free playback currently has no daily app limits. Premium remains optional support for continued development. IPTVS remains a media player only. No media, playlist, provider account, stream or third-party service is included.

Fixes a startup crash that could affect devices with very large existing catalogs after upgrading.

Your sources, credentials, favorites and viewing progress remain intact.
