This release fixes more crashes and bugs. I’ve decided stop the rollout of 1.11.2 for everyone and instead immediately replace it with 1.11.3, with even more fixes.

If you experienced a crash in 1.11.1, please enable crash reporting and try to reproduce the crash. I was able to fix some crashes with the limited data Google Play provides, but that data lacks crucial details like error messages and whole-process stacktraces.

I have also added a new page that explains the bug reporting process.

The sudden increase in crash fixes is mainly caused by opening up the beta channel, which lead to a five-fold increase in Google Play users. That means many more and diverse installations and devices, who will stumble upon many more bugs. This is a good thing, because all of you can then enjoy a much more stable app.

Android TV users: I know that the user experience could be better, but we currently just don’t have the manpower for feature requests. For importing config files, there is a workaround.

People with F-Droid knowledge: Our RFP is waiting for a packager - if you know your way around the F-Droid build process, you may be able to speed up things by preparing a PR (“MR” in Gitlab) to F-Droid Data.

Fixes in 1.11.3 (vs. 1.11.2)

  • Crash when selecting “Add Storage” on TVs and other devices
  • Crash when sharing file to rcx contains garbage data
  • Crash when using thumbnails
  • Crash after granting storage permission, part II
  • Crash when navigation gets confused
  • Crash when creating config for meta-remotes

Fixes in 1.11.2 (vs. 1.11.1)

  • Crash after granting storage permission
  • Crash when canceling loading early
  • Crash when importing config on device without ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT
  • Crash when stream is detected as failed
  • Crash when reading circular dependent config ℹ
  • Crash reporting not working

ℹ This crash was especially mysterious - if you have a complicated setup with remotes referencing other remotes nesting multiple levels, some nested remotes may no longer behave as expected, and I’d like to hear from you.
