CineVision 3D (update)

We posted an update for CineVision 3D to the official AppStore and also a new TestFlight beta version. Latest version is now 1.02 (338).

There was an URL string corruption issue, that crashed the app if one tried to load URL feeds from local disk or the clouds. We changed the loading mechanism to work around this strange issue with the URL() class in Swift. We currently do not even understand entirely why this happens and have to put further research on this.

However, for now it does work again, as expected. You can load single media file URLs and feed URLs with either the textfield or the load button. There is a demo *.m3u feed on our server at http://midi.digitster.com/cinevision/example.m3u with 10.000 streaming providers that you can try.

ps: The app has currently ‚Alzheimer‘, and does forget everything, if closed. This is a feature not a fault. ^^ Possibly we will change that with the next update.

Remarks for this release:

The AppStore review process has made a kind of ‘bare bone’ app out of this release. Initially we released the app with usable content. But the Apple App Review asked us to remove all 3rd party content and ‘possibly copyrighted’ stuff. Otherwise they would permanently reject.

Now, an IPTV app uses 100% of stuff that is copyright by 3rd parties. That’s just the nature of things. So if you want to blame someone for insufficiency, please do that on the Apple side.
