    Android TV new notifications are extremely buggy. Notifications only show for a small % of shows in my library with unwatched episodes. News bugs include not being able to access movies that are added to my library, and after watching content from my debrid cloud in add-ons, after that when trying to access the details of a show or selecting a show will not work and will just play the previous thing I watched from my debrid cloud. All issues mentioned have been confirmed on 3 different devices.

    I thank you for the awesome work.
    Is it possible to include an inbuilt app updater for regions where stremio is not available through Google Play.
    Though I can update by downloading it manually but it can be helpful.

    The new additions are great! On my PC everything works awesome, on Android TV works good, but will go into a mode that won’t show the movies/series but will show the categories if the back button is pressed while looking at a description. No big deal since its easy to work around, just thought y’all would like to know!

    Can we please get the ability to change the order of add-ons without having to fully uninstall the entire list of add-ons and reinstall them? As well as making it possible for removing the add-on for Cinemeta? That alone would make my Christmas special, because I can move the Christmas section to the top. Thanks again though for all the hard work y’all are doing!

      I agree with you RyuRiolu!

      Being able to reorder the addons and without reistalling them would be on the top of my Christmas list!

    How do you filter for specific genres? Let’s say I am looking for only horror movies released in 2023, how would I filter for that?
