New Features & Improvements
| App Features | Description | Affects |
|---|---|---|
| Back Button Navigation on Amazon Fire TV | Pressing the Back button on the Amazon Fire TV remote now opens a confirmation dialog asking whether to exit the Appspace App for Devices, with options to cancel and resume playback or to exit the app. Previously, the Back button had no standardised behaviour and could interrupt playback unexpectedly. |
|
| Smoother Text Ticker Playback | Text tickers now scroll smoothly and continuously, even while the device is loading or rendering other content. Previously, tickers could stutter or freeze briefly when device resources were under load. |
|
| BrightSign Series 6 HD and XS Certification | The Appspace App is now certified for BrightSign HD1026 (firmware 9.1.82) and XS156 (firmware 9.1.32). |
|
| LG WebOS 8.0 Certification | The Appspace App is now certified for LG webOS 8.0. |
