We'll see.....

A few weeks ago after the 100th time (obviously exaggerating, but it's a lot) of the epg no longer loading after 24 hours, without a fresh install or clearing the data, that I would no longer do that. Instead, I decided that I would see if any of the updates actually fixed this issue like they said they would. As of today's 1.1.39 update, my epg has still not returned. Doesn't matter if I clear cache or refresh the epg, it'll sit on "awaiting" for a long time before turning to "no information".

I will say I'm glad to see all channels, even duplicates, when it's NOT in app managed mode, like it should being that's what it states. It would not do this about a month ago. So that's a plus I guess.

I am still patiently waiting for subtitles (captions) that my service provides, to actually be usable by the app, so far it's a no go.

I still have vod content that is 1000% available in any other app I use, even though viewella disagrees, like it knows better lol.

All of these things have been issues for a while and no update has fixed them. I decided today to clear data and to a restart to see what happens in the upcoming days. As expected, the epg did come back after clearing data and registering the device again.

Lastly, on the home page, the row names disappear when you scroll down to them. The thumbnails get bigger and then do not get smaller again, even if you go to a different tab and then back to the home tab. When this happens, it covers up the rows name, like "continue watching". This is a newer issues, only starting in the last few days to a week after an update

New update, same issues.

First, you've been behind on your version number for several updates, you're on 1.1.32.

After updating the appt from 1.1.30, all the same epg issues still exist. The app is not updating the guide info. Even a refresh from the setting produces no new results.

Subtitles still aren't an option for live TV even though my provider provides them.

Movies shows content I know I have as unavailable.

Navigation is acting strange. When clicking to the right in the rows on movies and shows tab it will go left once before going right again.

Had to go into app settings to allow microphone. App should bring up a message stating this needs to be done as it installs with the permission off and never asks for permission or tells you it needs it.

Updated version, still not updating EPG.

I opened up viewella yesterday and had to update to 1.1.29. After it did that, it opened again and then had to update to 1.1.30. Not sure why it does 1 at a time and not just straight to the newest version.

Anyway, this is what my guide looks like today. No info on most things and the things it does have info is only because those think started a while ago. Looks like anything that started past 3pm PST, doesn't have any info.

I'm guessing that I did the updates around 3pm yesterday and that it's only saving/loading 24hrs if epg at a time. But it's still not auto updating.

Even if I force an epg update in settings it won't apply even though I watch it find it. This is something that was working in 1.1.28 if I remember correctly.
