TVBox-fashion-UI

Project Overview

Z Video is an aggregation client for TV boxes and smart TVs, solving the problem of searching source after source for one title: a single search queries every checked source, with results ordered by source priority. It is secondarily developed from TVBoxOSC, wraps IJKPlayer and ExoPlayer, and ships armeabi-v7a only.

Item	Value
Platform	TV boxes / smart TVs (primary), landscape phones
Upstream	Secondarily developed from TVBoxOSC
Current version	v1.5.6
Requirement	Android 5.0+, armeabi-v7a only
LAN page	Default port 9978

One search aggregates every source; source order is result order.

Key Features

• Arc home page: Douban recommendations pinned first, cards arranged on an arc with the focused one enlarged, auto-rotating after 6 idle seconds, with multi-level fallback to cache and other sources
• Aggregated search: all sources checked by default, led by priority sources, waiting up to 15 seconds; results already returned still display on timeout
• Categories: movies, series, variety, anime, and documentaries fixed in the sidebar; live TV as a separate entry
• Playback controls: aspect ratio cycles through six presets (default → 16:9 → 4:3 → stretch → original → crop), speed through five, and long-pressing OK enters 2x
• Subtitles and audio: embedded and site subtitles plus local SRT/VTT/ASS/SSA files; audio tracks matched by language preference
• Resume: positions save every 5 seconds under a key built from source + title + line + episode
• Config failover: unreachable addresses try the config library, built-in backups, then defaults; live sources accept multi-line M3U or TVBox JSON with merge and dedupe
• Elder mode: larger text and longer control display times

Quick Start

1. Install the APK from Releases on your TV
2. Enter a config address in Settings; it saves only after validation, showing total and searchable site counts
3. Scan the QR code to open http://TV-IP:9978 on a phone for viewing config or pushing content
4. Pick a title on the home page, then choose a line from the search page

Core Advantages

• Controllable source order: results strictly follow the checked order — earlier sources rank first
• Remote niceties: long-press speed-up, screen lock, controls hiding after 4 seconds, and an 8-second countdown to the next episode

System Requirements

Item	Requirement
OS	Android 5.0+
Architecture	armeabi-v7a
Devices	Boxes / smart TVs / landscape phones

Notes

• No stored content: titles come from third parties on the internet; the app stores and distributes none
• Douban throttling: after risk control kicks in, Douban cools down for about 5 minutes while cache and fallback data take over
