ThystTV

• ThystTV 1.6.0 adds Spoiler Shield, live clip creation, a three-minute rewind preset and an optional local rewind buffer. Settings use two panes on wide screens, download progress is easier to read, and sign-in and chat timers are more reliable.
• Spoiler Shield Long-press a stream, or use the ⋮ menu on a VoD or clip, to hide titles and previews for its channel or category: until you remove it, or for 24 hours, 3 days or 7 days. An eye button reveals a single item. Shielded titles stay hidden in bookmarks, downloads, team cards, the channel page, the player title, the media notification and live notifications. Add or remove channels and categories in Settings > UI.
• Live rewind Live rewind offers "Watch last 3 minutes". Like the other presets, it plays the broadcast's recording. Local rewind buffer, off by default in Player settings > Videos, saves the live video you're watching (250 MB to 2 GB) so a rewind works even when the broadcast has no recording. It uses the default player, needs 1 GB of free storage, and is deleted shortly after you leave the stream.
• Clips Create clip in the live player's More menu sets a title and a length of 5 to 60 seconds and captures the live broadcast through Twitch. A direct player button can be turned on in Player buttons settings. When the clip is ready you can watch it in ThystTV, copy its link, share it or open Twitch's editor. Watching it replaces the live stream in the player. Android TV creates clips by approving a code on another device. Accounts signed in before this version are asked once to grant the clip permission. Cancelling keeps the current sign-in. Settings and downloads On windows at least 840dp wide (tablets, unfolded foldables, landscape phones), Settings shows the sections list beside the open section instead of stretching every row across the screen. Narrower windows are unchanged. Download progress is a small label and a thin bar in the corner of the picture instead of large text across the card, and the dates wrap instead of overlapping on narrow cards. Download cards reused while scrolling no longer show another download's dates, title or Start/End labels.
• Sign-in and chat Granting a new permission no longer signs you out first. The current sign-in stays until the new one is confirmed, and the app restarts only if the account changed. Sign-in requests give up after 20 seconds on every network library, so a stalled connection can't hold a sign-in screen open. Poll and prediction countdowns show the real time left after the phone has slept, and channel points no longer report a burst of missed minutes on wake. Raid, poll and prediction cards stay up when the chat screen is rebuilt, and the chat-mode banner stays up for its full five seconds. Chat connections check they are alive with one lightweight task per connection instead of a new background thread per notification. Scope and limitations Create clip captures the live broadcast, not your position in a rewind, and Edit opens Twitch's editor; there is no in-app editor or clipping from VoDs. The local rewind buffer works only with the default player and does not keep replay chat. Spoiler Shield does not cover share links or chat, and a shield added during playback reaches the media notification only when the next stream starts. Google Cast remains experimental and off by default. New text falls back to English where not yet translated.
