📦 v2.5.5 — 2026-06-15

🩹 Stable release v2.5.5

A small follow-up release focused on settings reliability, app icon customization, and Samsung TV authorization improvements.

✨ New

• 🎨 Custom app icons in Settings — choose a custom PNG icon or a bundled oblong launcher icon on a per-app basis, making it easier to customize how apps appear on supported TVs (#407, #409)
• 📺 Manual TV Device ID (DUID) entry — optionally enter Samsung TV DUIDs manually to pre-authorize TVs that aren't currently available on the network (#405)

🐛 Fixed

• ⚙️ App-scoped settings no longer become frozen after updates — preserved settings.json files no longer prevent app-specific settings from updating correctly (#387)

⬆️ Updating

v2.5.4

📦 [v2.5.4] – 2026-06-12

🩹 Stable release v2.5.4

The headline is multi-TV signing — install to several Samsung TVs without breaking app updates on the others — plus smarter device detection and better support for older TVs.

✨ New

• 🔐 Multi-TV signing — the author signing certificate now stays stable across TVs, and a single distributor certificate can cover multiple TVs (with an optional "Extra TV device IDs" field to pre-authorize them). So apps stay updatable on every TV you've installed to, and you sign in to Samsung far less often (#404, #405)
• 📡 Detects TVs that aren't install-ready — a TV with Developer Mode on but its debug port not active yet now appears with an actionable hint (enable dev mode / fix the IP / power-cycle) instead of just "No devices found" (#398)
• 📐 Oblong launcher icon for Litefin (Tizen 5.5) + a refreshed TVApp icon — optional, per-app toggle (#394) (thanks @mjeshurun for the icons)

🐛 Fixed

• 🧩 Apps with a background service now install on older TVs — packages bundling a <tizen:service> (e.g. Litefin) were rejected on Tizen < 4.0; the unsupported service component is now stripped on those TVs so the install succeeds (#401, #402)
• 🔏 Signing certificate survives app updates — it now lives in the per-user data dir, so a macOS .dmg/installer update no longer wipes it (which caused "same id, different certificate" failures). Install-failure messages are also clearer and name the actual app (#395)

🔩 Under the hood

• Cleaner auto-generated release notes + a rolling-tag fix so notes always reflect everything merged (#397, #403)

⬆️ Updating

• From v2.3.2+: auto-update works
• From v2.3.1.1 or older: download once manually (FAQ)

v2.5.3

📦 [v2.5.3] – 2026-06-11

🩹 Stable release v2.5.3

A reliability fix for the release list.

🐛 Fixed

• Release list could show only "Custom WGT File" until the app was restarted. If the startup load was interrupted (e.g. by the background update check), the list was left empty and never recovered. It now reloads automatically — after startup and whenever the window regains focus — so a restart is no longer needed (#385)
• Settings.json Is not used anymore for showing the version number, it's compiled at runtime
• Oblong TVApp icon for Tizen 5.5 optional toggle in TVApp settings that swaps the launcher icon for a wide 16:9 version, so older Tizen 5.5 TVs stop showing it stretched or cropped (#379) (thanks @mjeshurun for the icon)

✨ Also included from v2.5.2

• 🎨 Redesigned App Catalog window (the ? next to Version) — modernised to match the rest of the app: new header, themed cards, softer tables, nicer preview panel, full dark-mode support (#382)
• 🌍 Fully localized — catalog titles, section/column headers and empty-state are now translatable (English + Dutch; others fall back to English) (#382)
• 🔤 Sorted catalog — Jellyfin builds and community apps listed A–Z / 0–9, matching the release dropdown (#383)

⚙️ Also included from v2.5.1

• Settings overhaul for multiple apps — the settings view now supports per-app configuration
• Settings survive app updates — moved to the per-user OS data dir (%APPDATA%\Apps2Samsung / ~/.config/Apps2Samsung) with a one-time migration of existing settings.json
• Preserve m3u8 URLs + release sorting fixes

💡 Tip

Setting a GitHub token in Settings raises the API limit from 60 to 5000 requests/hour, which makes slow/again-empty loads far less likely.

v2.5.1-beta

📦 [v2.5.1-beta] – 2026-06-09

What's Changed

✨ New in v2.5.1-beta

• 📡 TVApp channel setup — set your channel names and m3u8 links right in the app, and they're written straight into TVApp before it's installed. No more shipping with "add your m3u8 link here" placeholders (#379)
• 🔀 Arrange your channel order — reorder channels with the ▲/▼ buttons; the order you set is the order you'll cycle through on the TV (CH_UP/CH_DOWN), no more being stuck with add-order
• 🔠 Sorted app list — the install list now shows every app in alphabetical order (A-Z, 0-9) instead of fetch order, so Jellyfin, Moonfin, Litefin, TVApp and all Tizen Community apps are easy to find ("Custom WGT file" stays pinned at the bottom)
• 🗂️ Reorganised Settings — Settings now opens on a generic Application section (language, certificate, network, install options), with each app's own settings split out into its own section. Pick Application, Jellyfin or TVApp from the list on the left
• 🌍 Live language switching everywhere — the section list, panels and field labels all re-translate instantly when you change language, no reopening the window

🔩 Under the hood

• Per-app settings are now pluggable — an IAppSettingsProvider contract means adding settings for the next app is just one more section, no rework of the existing ones
• Per-app package patching — install-time package editing is no longer Jellyfin-only; an IPackagePatcher factory picks the right patcher per app, so Jellyfin and TVApp each patch their own package independently (Jellyfin behaviour is unchanged)
