Orbit TV 0.100.0: the v2 interface

Paul approved the v2 designs and asked for them to be built and installed on 4 November 2026 at 17:08. The change is to the interface only. Scheduling and bookings are unchanged, and every channel's four-week booking fingerprint is identical to 0.99.17.

What's in it

• Top bar (MainActivity): one bar on every screen: Home, What's On, TV Guide, Drive-In, Arcade.
  • The current screen is white with a gold underline; the focused place is filled gold.
  • The clock and date sit on the right. The gear stays at the end, for Settings.
  • Back from What's On, Drive-In or Arcade goes Home. The TV Guide and What's On handle Back themselves.
• Home (HomeScreen): only the category menu, a stacked list in the centre, after the classic satellite guide.
  • Each row is an icon and a name in capitals; the focused row is filled gold. There are no numbers and no arrow.
  • OK opens the TV Guide on that category.
  • The live picture, On Now and the Drive-In card are gone from Home. What's On and the Drive-In carry them.
• What's On (WhatsOn.kt, WhatsOnPage.kt): one screen with Tonight's Pick, Tonight on Orbit (up to 5) and Coming Up (up to 3).

  • Source: it reads only the channels' committed plans and the Drive-In's plan, so nothing unbooked can appear, and nothing is written.

  • Rules, strongest first:

    1. a first airing on Orbit (the premiere reason);
    2. a booked channel event (a presentation key);
    3. a Drive-In double or triple bill;
    4. a complete multi-part story;
    5. a Drive-In bill or an evening film on a film channel.

  • Variety: at most one card per channel and one per franchise.

  • Edition: the choice turns over at 12:00 each day, and finished programmes drop out.

  • Pop-up: OK on a card opens it:

    • Watch live when it's on now, which tunes straight in;
    • Remind me when it's later;
    • Back.

    A Drive-In card goes to the Drive-In.

  • Reminders: kept in reminders-0.json. They arrive 5 minutes before and at the start, over whatever's on, as the Drive-In's do. Watch tunes in.

• Drive-In (DriveInScreen): one screen.
  • The chosen bill sits large on the left, over its own film artwork from Emby, or the lot scene. The art is blended into deep navy.
  • The ticket status is beside it. This week's bills (up to 5) are on the right.
  • ▲▼ choose a bill. OK watches what's showing now, or opens the existing ticket screen.
  • The scene rotation and marquee boards are retired. Tickets, reminders and the big-screen player are unchanged.
• TV Guide (GuideGrid): restyled.
  • Category chips run along the top: the current one gold, the focused one ringed. Down goes to the grid.
  • The focused programme's details sit beside the live picture in a navy panel.
  • Channel numbers are gold. Later programmes are a shade darker than what's on, and the now marker and progress line are gold.
  • Its behaviour is unchanged: OK on what's on tunes in, and Back goes Home.
• Version: 0.100.0 (versionCode 148).

Checks before install

• 460 of 461 unit tests pass (2 skipped: hand-run replays that need input files). Lint has no errors.
• Six new tests in WhatsOnPageTest:
  • the rules and their order, with the premiere's two episodes as one card;
  • one card per channel;
  • nothing unbooked ever appears, including Beerus without its booking;
  • finished programmes drop out, and the edition turns at noon;
  • one franchise can't take over;
  • Drive-In bills come from the Drive-In plan;
  • reminders come at 5 minutes and at the start, once each.
• Booking fingerprints: the four-week replay of all 30 channels, on the box's files after the 0.99.17 install, is identical to 0.99.17 on every channel.
• The one failing test: FinalNetworkAuditTest, on the same files, reports one "same file within 24 h" on Vortex. It's identical on 0.99.17, because this release doesn't touch scheduling.
  • Cause: 0.99.17's premiere-night Dragon Ball film can repeat the film shown at Friday's Movie Night when no other short film fits before 21:00.
  • Fix: a small scheduler change is proposed separately, for Paul's approval, before the 21 November bookings are made around 14 to 15 November.

Installation record (4 November 2026, 17:19 GMT)

• Snapshot and rollback:
  • All 191 schedule-folder files and the settings file were copied off the box first, to Codex/install-0.100.0-20261104-171916.
  • A rollback copy is on the box in no_backup/schedule-rollback-0.99.17.
  • The 0.99.17 APK is in outputs/revision-0.99.17.
• Install: the APK's SHA-256 was checked. The box reports versionCode 148, 0.100.0-whats-on.
• On launch: the Emby server refused the saved sign-in (HTTP 401 or 403) when the app restored its connection. The app therefore asked to sign in again and dropped the refused token from its saved state, as designed.
  • The installs earlier today, the last at 16:11, kept the same token. This release doesn't change sign-in or the requests it makes, apart from the version number in the header, which has changed with every release.
  • The cause isn't confirmed.
• No top-up ran, so all 191 schedule files are byte-identical to the snapshot.
• Pending: Paul signs in on the TV. Then check the top-ups, What's On, the Drive-In, the TV Guide and the reminders on the box.
