On TV hardware the debug build's UI thread renders at ~2fps
(dumpsys gfxinfo: 87% janky frames, 50th percentile 85ms, stalls up
to 4200ms while the GPU sits at 12ms). An R8 minified release of the
same code turns the identical interaction into 184 frames at 27ms
median with 15% jank — the artifact is the deliverable, and the debug
signature keeps install -r seamless for sideloads.
The home screen is now stacked horizontal rows ('Continue watching'
with red progress bars from server-reported positions, 'New videos'
paged) instead of one tall list - matching the SmartTube look the app
is modeled on. The player renders as an overlay so the list beneath
keeps its scroll and focus across BACK (was resetting to the top),
grid scroll state is saved per destination, cards render focus
scale/border via tv-material, thumbnails carry relative dates and
privacy badges only where meaningful, overscan margins guard the 1080p
safe area, and the setup screen got a password reveal, clipboard paste
helpers and an always-focusable validating Sign in.

remaining suggestions are triaged in BACKLOG.md.
Start the SmartTube-inspired PeerTube TV client as a Kotlin + Compose
for TV app. It targets any PeerTube instance (v1 API), with JTube as
the default, and covers login 0, local/own video listings 1-2, search
3, subscriptions 4, server-backed history 5 and HLS/progressive
playback with watching reports 6.
Password is only used for the OAuth password grant and never stored;
tokens are kept in EncryptedSharedPreferences. Building needs JDK 17+
(see README); the Gradle wrapper is checked in so no local Gradle is
required.
