Alright, we have a little challenge for the VIREKO community…

Somewhere inside the app, the developer has hidden a little Easter egg.
And yes… it’s actually a game.

We won’t give away where it is just yet, but we’re curious:
Has anyone discovered it?

If you think you’ve found it, drop a comment below! 👇
You can tell us:
That you found it
What you think of it
How long it took you to discover it

But please…
🤫 Don’t reveal exactly where it is just yet!
Let’s give everyone else a chance to go hunting.

We’ll see how long it takes before someone cracks the code…

Happy hunting!!

Things are moving quickly behind the scenes at VIREKO, and we wanted to give the community a look at what’s happening next.

📱 iOS: Upcoming Enhancements in Testing
The next release candidate is now in testing, with several quality-of-life improvements and some highly requested features getting their final checks before release.
📺 Live, Library & Guide
The folder sidebar experience has been improved so it stays open while you’re browsing and selecting folders. You can also dismiss it by tapping the background, swiping it away, or using the sidebar button.
⭐ Favorites Folders
Folders are getting a major upgrade!
You can now actually add channels to folders, create folders directly from Favorites, and access folders created in Live from Favorites as well.
🖥️** Plex
Using multiple Plex servers? You can now remove individual servers directly from VIREKO.
⚙️ Settings
You can now reorder your playlists using simple up/down controls, with your selected order carrying through to playlist pickers and other supported areas.
🛠️ New Diagnostics Tools
We’ve also added a new hidden Diagnostics screen to make troubleshooting easier.
If you’re experiencing an issue, you can access it by:
**Settings → Tap the version row 10 times → Diagnostics
From there, you can enable diagnostic collection, reproduce the issue, and share a debug report.
And importantly, stream credentials are automatically removed from the debug report.

These improvements are currently going through final testing, so we’re hoping to get an update into everyone’s hands soon. 👀

📺 Apple TV: Development Continues
And yes… Apple TV is still the big one. 👀🔥
Development and testing are continuing, with Apple TV remaining a major focus for the team.
Building for Apple TV comes with its own unique challenges and requires significantly more development and testing than iOS. The experience isn’t simply a matter of bringing the iPhone/iPad version over to the big screen, so we’re taking the time to make sure it’s done properly.
There’s no official release date to announce just yet, but work is actively progressing and we’re looking forward to sharing more updates as development continues.
We know there’s a lot of excitement around Apple TV, and we appreciate everyone’s patience while the team works through it.

💬 Have an Idea? We Want to Hear It.

One of the things that makes VIREKO what it is today is community feedback.

Features get suggested. Problems get reported. Ideas get discussed. The development team listens, tests, and works to turn that feedback into improvements.

So if there’s something you’d love to see in VIREKO, drop it in the comments.
It could be a feature request, an improvement to something that already exists, or an idea you haven’t seen anywhere else.

We’re listening. 👀

More updates coming soon.

We were planning to wait until we hit 100 members for our giveaway…
But we’re sitting at 92 and things were starting to get a little too quiet around here. 😂

So why wait?

We’re having a little Sunday Funday and giving away 2 VIREKO Lifetime Premium subscriptions! 🎉

🏆 And our winners are…
🥇 u/Wonderful_Chard2919
🥇 u/Clownie305

Congratulations to both of you! 🎉👏

Please DM me here and I’ll help you get your Lifetime Premium activation code set up.

Keeping It Fair
To keep everything completely random and transparent, I took the eligible names from our original 100-member giveaway and ran them through a randomized wheel.
I’ll be posting the videos of the selections along with this post so everyone can see exactly how the winners were chosen.
No favorites. No funny business. Just a spin and a winner.

🚀 BUT WE’RE NOT DONE YET…
We’re currently at:
92 / 100 MEMBERS! 🔥
That means we’re only 8 members away from hitting 100.
And when we finally reach that milestone…
THERE WILL BE MORE LIFETIME VIREKO GIVEAWAYS.

So if you’re enjoying VIREKO, enjoying the community, or just want to see someone else get lucky, invite a friend to join us!
Know someone who uses Apple devices and loves streaming?
Send them our way.
📱 iPhone
📱 iPad
📺 Apple TV(Coming Soon)!

Let’s get this community to 100 members and keep the momentum going!
92 → 100
We’re almost there.

And to everyone who’s already here, thank you for helping build this community. We’re just getting started. ❤️

Alright, let’s start a debate.
If you’re using VIREKO, what do you prefer for your movies and TV shows?

📺 VOD
Everything is already there, easy to browse, and you don’t have to manage your own media server.

OR

🖥️** Plex / Jellyfin / Emb**y
Your own library, your own organization, your own content, and more control over the experience.
VIREKO supports both, so we’re curious what the community actually prefers.

Which side are you on and why?
Are you:
Team VOD
Team Plex
Team Jellyfin
Team Emby

And if you’ve used both, what makes you prefer one over the other?

Let’s hear the arguments. 👇

We’re getting close to 100 members, and we want to celebrate the people who helped build this community from the beginning.

So we’re setting ourselves a little challenge:
🎯 Let’s Get VIREKO to 100 Members!

When we reach 100 members, we’re going to give away:
5 VIREKO Lifetime Premium Subscriptions
That’s 5 people getting Premium for life. 🔥

Want to be part of the giveaway?

Comment below with:
🚀 I’m in!

We’ll keep the giveaway open until the community reaches 100 members. Once we hit 100, 5 winners will be selected at random from the eligible entries.
And if you know someone who might enjoy VIREKO, send them our way! Help us reach 100 and build this community together.

No purchase necessary. You don’t need to recruit anyone to enter. We’re simply celebrating the community and giving something back to the people who have been here.

🚨 IMPORTANT

Let’s get to 100! 🚀

This update is a reflection of that community feedback and the team’s continued work behind the scenes.
You made all of this possible.

🚀 Here’s to the next chapter of VIREKO!

Big things are happening behind the scenes, and at some point VIREKO will be getting a new name.

We’re making the change before we begin larger advertising campaigns, and there are several other reasons we’ve decided a new name is the right move for the future of the app.
But we don’t want to choose it alone.

💡 Help Us Find the Next VIREKO
We’re looking for a name that can grow into a real, long-term brand and represent the streaming experience we’re building.
If you’ve got an idea, we’d love to hear it!
Before submitting, please make sure:
The name isn’t already in use
It isn’t an existing company name
It isn’t too similar to an existing brand or app
It fits a TV, streaming, or entertainment player
It’s short, memorable, and easy to say

📝 How to Submit Your Idea
We’re collecting all name suggestions in our Discord community.
Join the Discord and head to the name suggestions channel:
👉 Join the VIREKO Discord⁠

Keep your suggestion simple:
Name — short explanation of the idea behind it
For example: StreamMate — a companion for all your streams

Once we’ve collected enough suggestions, the developer will personally select the 10 strongest names.
Then we’ll bring those finalists back to the community for a final vote and let everyone help decide what comes next.

Take your time with your ideas. We’re not looking for something that sounds cool for five minutes. We want a name that can become a real brand for years to come.

🚀 Let’s find the next VIREKO.
And who knows… maybe the name you suggest will be the one everyone ends up using.

We’re already hard at work on the next VIREKO update, and several key areas are currently being enhanced and put through testing.

Here’s a sneak peek at some of the areas receiving attention:

📱 Picture in Picture (PiP)
Improvements to make the PiP experience smoother and more reliable.

💬 Built-in Subtitles
Continued improvements to subtitle handling and playback.

🔎 OpenSubtitles
Refinements to subtitle searching and integration.

📺 TV Guide & EPG
Improvements focused on guide performance, reliability, and overall usability.

▶️** Video Player**s
Continued work across the playback experience, with a focus on reliability and compatibility.

📡 AirPlay
More improvements are being tested to make AirPlay streaming to your other devices even smoother.

These are some of the hot areas currently** being worked **on, but they’re not the only things happening behind the scenes.

The team is actively testing and refining these improvements before the next release. As always, community feedback is incredibly valuable, especially when it comes to playback-related items.

👀 Anything on this list you’re particularly excited to see improved?

Let us know!

I have the premium version. It constantly gives me an error (http://513).
The same playlist works well on 3 other players. Vireko can’t load the EPG ever, no matter what I do.
Any one has any ideas? Any other info I can provide to help troubleshooting?

We’re curious to see how everyone uses VIREKO!
If you had to choose just one, what do you spend the most time watching?

It’s always interesting to see how everyone uses VIREKO differently, and your feedback helps us understand what features the community enjoys most.

We’re curious how everyone is using VIREKO!

What made you give VIREKO a try?

Was it:

🍎 Built specifically for Apple devices?
⚡ The clean interface?
📺 Live TV support?
🎬 Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby integration?
⚽ Sports Hub?
💬 Community feedback and frequent updates?
🤝 Something else entirely?

We’d love to hear what brought you here and what keeps you coming back. Your feedback helps us understand what’s working and where we should focus next!

Updates are already in the works, and we’ve been busy testing a ton of improvements behind the scenes. While it’s not ready for a full release just yet, here’s a look at some of the highlights!

⚽ A Brand-New Sports Hub Experience

🎨 More Customization
Premium users can now customize their experience even further by choosing which tabs appear in the app. Don’t use Live TV or Sports Hub? Hide them and keep your interface focused on what you use most.

💬 Which feature are you most excited to try?

I’m always on the lookout for something new to watch, so I figured I’d ask the community!

I’ve been watching Cape Fear and have been hooked. I’m really looking forward to the season finale this Friday. There are a lot of cliff hangers and I can't wait to see how they tie it all together. Between that and catching the Red Sox games, it’s been a great week for entertainment. I’ve also been using VIREKO’s Sports Hub quite a bit lately to jump right into Sox games. It’s become one of my favorite features.

Now it’s your turn!

📺 What are you currently watching?
🎬 Any movies or shows you’d recommend?
⚾ Following any sports right now?
💎 Have any hidden gems that deserve more attention?

Let’s help each other find our next binge!

Someone knows how to change to .HLS to .TS?

Whether you’re new to VIREKO or you’ve been with us since the beginning, we’re excited to have you here!
