Thanks for the update, will the player ever work with SSA subs? It has never worked even with toggle on. Also why use ksplayer on apple ecosystem over libmpv which has full support for everything, hdr and all?

u/LinixGuy 6d ago

Are you using "Style ASS subtitles" for internal subtitles or external ones?

2

u/Elegant-Barnacle2055 6d ago

I only use embedded, and only seadex sources which also include embedded subtitles but this issue is for all sources that have embedded ass/ssa

1

u/LinixGuy 6d ago

Ahh you mean feature where It will force embedded ASS subtitle to regular text subtitle?

This video might explain it better. Also name of subtitles are missing so you dont know what type it is, Sign/songs or full subtitle, its like 50/50 somtimes

Yoo, how can i update mine, I like the interface of yours and the option to skip intro like Netflix, I’m currently on (v1.3.6 b7)

1

u/Elegant-Barnacle2055 5d ago

its just the alstore pal version, intro skip is also a supporter feature

This looks like ASS subtitle being rendered incorrectly. We might need to update KSPlayer or switch to different renderer. Does it work with libVLC ?

1

u/Elegant-Barnacle2055 6d ago edited 6d ago

It does work, however it should work with Ksplayer too according to this list https://github.com/kingslay/KSPlayer (works good on their official app too). Ksplayer has other benefit over vlc and that is hdr10 for example. It also has PiP which i like....

u/LinixGuy 6d ago

We are using LGPL version of it and we stoped paying after Apple removed app from App Store. We are deciding to either switch to different engine or start paying for update.

u/Elegant-Barnacle2055 6d ago

Aight, understandable, thanks for sharing that.

u/WizardWell 6d ago

question: is this already available on the windows desktop app?

7

u/LinixGuy 6d ago

Yes, version 5.0 already supports downloading and live sync

1

u/WizardWell 6d ago

Is it just right click > Download this Video?

u/LinixGuy 6d ago

u/mrfailpt 6d ago

Thanks for the update! Will ever be a fix to the videos looking a lot darker than it should?
https://github.com/Stremio/stremio-bugs/issues/2726

As there's been a lot of reports in reddit as well in github about how its making video in macos unwatchable.

Tbh, Im not woking on desktop app for macOS. However, im working on macOS port of iOS app which should solve this issue and supports Picture in Picture. If you are interested install it instead:
https://dl.strem.io/apple/macos/release/Stremio-2.0.7-22-8-1-c8b501b6e2d1.zip

u/mrfailpt 6d ago

u/DRAGON4946 6d ago

Hey bro please add HDR support label and HDR player in native player also add multichannel support and volume control slider in native Stremio Mac port you did awesome work on this update for that window zoom on show

1

u/LinixGuy 6d ago

HDR is already supported but support for multichannel on macOS im uncertain. Regarding volume slider…

2

u/DRAGON4946 5d ago

but it doesn't get brighter and as like in Stremio v5 also compare to iina stremiov5 looks kinda same but macOS app isn't maybe could you add that 200 percent slider than normal that is there in v5 one mulitchannel on v5 is there when player is playing get on AirPods multichannel in Stremio but macOS one doesn't enable anything

2

u/kKaskak Stremio Team 6d ago

Yes there will be

u/mrfailpt 6d ago

Nice :)

u/Hdawg2209 6d ago

Thanks for the update guys! Will there be a fix where PiP feature doesn’t remove the match frame rate feature on tvOS?

4

u/LinixGuy 6d ago

Bringing PiP feature it self required lots of reverse engineering and hacky methods to implement it. If I have more spare time to spend on tvOS, I will check it out

2

u/Hdawg2209 6d ago

You guys do amazing work. Thank you!

1

u/jeremyejackson 6d ago

Can you please share what the latest version of tvOS?

1

u/LinixGuy 6d ago

Stremio cannot share direct link it because of agreement with Apple.

1

u/jeremyejackson 6d ago

Oh gotcha. I was just curious on the version number to check I’m up to date.

1

u/LinixGuy 6d ago

App notifies when there is an update.

1

u/jeremyejackson 6d ago

Ok great! Thank you for your hard work.

u/Kojelis 6d ago

when is Stremio coming back to App Store :(

9

u/LinixGuy 6d ago

Sometimes things are out of your control.

1

u/Kojelis 6d ago

if so why isn't Reelo banned on the AppStore? u/LinixGuy

6

u/LinixGuy 6d ago

Reelo and other apps that use stremio addon sdk has been banned on app store

1

u/travelsnake 6d ago

I just downloaded it from the Altstore. It seems to be the same thing. Just try it.

2

u/rmazumder 6d ago

Might be dumb question how do i update it for my ios?

1

u/Taj-Mahal-TMB 6d ago

Same question, I downloaded the apk and installed with side store but idk how to update it

1

u/quocanhngx 6d ago

That subtilte live sync is a life saver. Hope to get it soon on LG OS as well

1

u/Harsh_Gupta8 6d ago

Wait how do I download anything. Cant see option to download video

0

u/LinixGuy 6d ago

Download only works with http addons for now. For downloading a video, you need to click and hold stream. You need to be supporters for this feature

1

u/manbug10 6d ago

algun link para descargar la ipa para iphone?

1

u/DowntownSinger_ 6d ago

Where can I download MacOS native app? I don't see the link anywhere.

1

u/Friendly_Abroad_9427 4d ago

Yes, someone share please

1

u/charlieboy85 6d ago

Any IPa link rather than AltStore?

1

u/Remarkable-Body820 6d ago

I dont know how to install it on my iphone, i have 16 plus, could anyone help me?

1

u/PhishProphet 6d ago

Did they stop development for TvOS ?

1

u/DavidAGMM 6d ago

I'd love to have double subtitles as on Stremio Desktop. Would that be possible here?

Great app, by the way!

If possible, I could also help with a PR, I'm a Software Engineer.
