New • Short tips right when they help – instead of a tutorial to click through. • Aspect ratio for channels, movies and series: Original, Fill, Stretch, 16:9, 4:3 or 21:9 – with a default in Settings. • If a movie always stops at the same point, Zapio tells you and offers to continue just after it. • “Test This Channel” checks exactly the channel that won’t play – and you can share the result. • Guide data straight from your provider for channels without a guide, wrong time offsets are detected, and “Channels Without Guide” lets you assign them by hand. • If a channel keeps stalling, Zapio suggests the same programme on another channel. • Free-to-air German channels (ARD, ZDF, regional …): load them to try Zapio without a provider, or add them once with a provider – matching channels become another version that Zapio switches to when your provider’s one fails, without using up a stream of your subscription. Own category “Free-to-air” and the setting “Prefer free public channels”. • “Match Guide” suggests the matching guide channels for the channel name at the top. • Zapio tells you when a new version is in the App Store and briefly shows what’s new after an update. Faster and more stable • Zapio remembers which version of a channel (HD, FHD, HEVC) played last and picks the right one straight away. • Faster channel switching and less waiting with providers whose channels only play well with VLC. • Fewer false messages such as “No internet connection”. • Faster version search: if a version doesn’t play, Zapio quickly pre-checks the others and only starts one that delivers. While it searches you can tap “Choose version” – Zapio remembers your choice. Parental controls • Categories are now allowed instead of blocked, with “Allow All” and “Lock All”. New categories start out blocked. Also • More reliable iCloud sync, “Match days only” for channels that only air during live games, and many small improvements.
