+# Changelog
+
+What changed in each version of StremioK, newest first. How everything works is in the
+[user guide](docs/USER-GUIDE.md).
+
+## 2.2.0 — 2026-10-23
+- **A TV guide for your IPTV channels:** what's on now and next on each channel's card, in
+  Home's details strip and while a channel plays, and its schedule when you hold OK on it. From
+  the guide a playlist names, an Xtream account's own, or a *Guide link* you set (Settings ›
+  Content › IPTV).
+- **A Guide tab:** your channels as a grid across 2½ hours that follows the clock; OK on what's
+  on now plays it, and CH+ / CH− then go through the Guide's channels. The remote's GUIDE key
+  opens it.
+- **Guide-only channels** (`tvg-type="guide"`): a channel you watch elsewhere (a cable box, say)
+  on the Guide tab with its schedule; OK on a film finds it in your addons.
+- **Xtream accounts:** add one with its server, username and password (checked with the server
+  first). Its channels play as MPEG-TS; *Format* switches the account to HLS, or one channel
+  while it plays (the player's menu), kept for that channel.
+- **★ Favorite channels:** hold OK on a channel card, *Add to favorites*: a row of their own,
+  first on the IPTV and Guide tabs.
+- **Closed captions on live channels:** captions inside an HLS channel's picture (CC1–CC4, the
+  kind VLC shows) are offered in the subtitle menu, and turn into subtitles when you pick them.
+  On an Xtream channel, switch *Format* to HLS for them.
+- **In the player:** picture mode kept per channel; *Reload* and a *Sleep timer* in the menu;
+  the time of day at the top right.
+- **More channels play:** more ways a playlist gives a channel's User-Agent and Referer, Xtream
+  channels that lead to YouTube, and channel logos from the TV guide.
+- **Put the top menu in your own order:** Settings › Appearance › *Menu*.
+- **The IPTV tab has live TV only:** a catalog of films or series sits on Movies or Series.
+- **Fixes:** USB downloads checked part by part; a broken subtitle file or TV guide can't hold
+  the remote; a first playlist shows the IPTV tab at once.
+
+## 2.1.0 — 2026-10-20
+- **Live channels reconnect** when their connection drops, as often as *Reconnect live channels*
+  says (Settings › Playback › Seeking & buffering): Off, A few times or Keep trying.
+- **Trakt:** your whole watched history is read again (Trakt now sends it a page at a time, and
+  shows without their episodes unless asked), and an episode you left part-way no longer hides
+  the show's next one once you've watched past it, on any device.
+- **Addons:** turn one off or on, as you can a playlist, each shown with its logo (Settings ›
+  Content › Addons); "No sources found" says why, addon by addon; an addon's error page is no
+  longer shown as a title.
+- **A YouTube tab on Home:** StremioK's YouTube began as a way to watch TV channels that stream
+  on YouTube rather than through an M3U playlist, so its catalogs sat in the IPTV tab. Now that
+  it also covers channels, playlists, searches and other addons' YouTube catalogs, it has a tab
+  of its own, between Sports and Local.
+- **Reordering:** ⇈ / ⇊, beside ▲ / ▼, move an item straight to the top or bottom of any list you
+  put in order: addons, playlists, YouTube catalogs, Home feeds, Search results and source
+  ranking.
+- **Playback:** a source counts as started only once it plays, so one that fails right after
+  opening gives way to the next; video quality for streams that need their own headers; skip
+  times from TheIntroDB's new API.
+- **A faster start:** your addons don't wait for the IPTV playlists, and Home's rows appear as
+  each is ready.
+- **Security and privacy fixes:** USB drives and downloads; the TV itself off-limits to
+  downloads and live relays; AIOManager's key kept to its own server, and addons you added
+  yourself left alone by its sync.
+
+## 2.0.0 — 2026-10-17
+The first public version of StremioK, a Stremio-addon client for Samsung Tizen TVs (Tizen 3.0
+and later). What it does is in the [README](README.md#highlights); installing it, in the
+[installation guide](docs/INSTALL.md).
+
+- **Your addons:** catalogs, title details, sources and subtitles from the Stremio addons you add
+  by link, or import from your Stremio account, AIOManager or a configuration file.
+- **Finding something to watch:** Home with Watching, Calendar, Movies, Series, IPTV, Radio,
+  Sports and Local tabs; Discover; Search across every addon that can search, and people by
+  name.
+- **Title pages:** ranked sources with ▶ Play best, filters by addon and resolution, trailers,
+  ratings, Cast & more, collections, episode pages and an episode ratings grid.
+- **Playing:** resume, skip intros, recaps and credits, the next episode on its own, the next
+  source when one doesn't start, subtitles from addons, the file, YouTube and your USB drive,
+  with timing and sync by ear, audio tracks remembered, private viewing.
+- **Trakt:** watched marks and viewing progress sync with Trakt; Up next and watchlist rows
+  are read from your account.
+- **IPTV and radio** from your M3U playlists; **YouTube** channels, playlists, searches and live
+  streams, with SponsorBlock, DeArrow, chapters and captions; **a USB drive's** videos matched
+  to their titles, and downloads to it.
+- **Documentation** for every reader: the [user guide](docs/USER-GUIDE.md), a
+  [settings reference](docs/SETTINGS.md), [troubleshooting](docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md),
+  [privacy and data](docs/PRIVACY.md), a [technical reference](docs/TECHNICAL-REFERENCE.md)
+  and the [developer guide](docs/DEVELOPER-GUIDE.md). Settings' on-screen hints say the effect
+  in a sentence or two.

 ## Known limitations
 
 - AVPlay behavior varies by TV generation, codec and HLS provider.
-- No TV guide (now / next) for IPTV channels yet.
 - No torrent playback: sources need a direct HTTP(S)/HLS/DASH URL (e.g. through a debrid
   addon).
 - Home rows show a catalog's first page (up to 30 titles); Discover pages through the rest.
