The new Amazon Firestick firmware, 24.1.12, will be available November 19, 2023.  Below are some of the changes the new firmware will be fixing or improving.  Your Firestick will automatically update your Norvado TV app.

24.1.12

CARs

1. Added protections around updating the watched-channel list to detect and handle null watched-channel object content. (64776)
   
2. Now handles cases where the Program Info object type is "up-next". Allows programs with this status to be played if they are airing now. (64686)

1. Removed button navigation focus-next properties. Fixes recording navigation issue on old Fire TV models. (64367)

PARs

1. Fixed a focus issue in the For You UI where the app thinks the Weather row is the first row in the UI. (64781)

1. Added some additional null checks for mSrvAreaChannelMapId.

1. While reading the circular buffer for log messages to send in InnovSys, if we hit an exception, now breaks out of the loop.

1. Supports new Google requirements for Android TV app graphics.

1. Moved Fire TV startup splash and login UI progress circle from the top of the UI to the bottom. Also removed the progress text (e.g. Loading...).

1. Handles (ignore) initial EAS messages where the Time Remaining value is 0. (63871)

1. Now downloads recordings from the cDVR in the correct whole-home group. (63762)

24.1.7

CARs

1. Fixed issue where, after leaving the app running for an extended time (e.g. pressing Home button to leave app), the selected favorite channels would be erased. (63224)
   

1. Now displays the correct temperature units for Canadian weather stations ("C"). (62828)
   

1. Implemented fixes to VOD poster URL creation when the VOD InnoStream is different than the middleware InnoStream. (62771)
   

1. Fixed crash when displaying program details UI for recording from a deleted channel. The recording info can now be displayed and the recording played. (62311)
   

1. Fixed crash when the request to get weather station list returned an error from the InnoStream. (61019)
   

1. Updated Future recordings and Upcoming recordings lists in the UI when a Series Rule is deleted. (60908)
   

1. Fixed the expansion of the guide to cover additional time in the future as the time progresses while the app is open. Now allows more than 2 days of guide data to be retrieved from the server as part of the extending guide time while the app is running. Guide will now expand/move with time-of-day as the app remains open. (56236)
   

PARs

1. Fixed updating playback UI program info at program boundary when time-shifted. If we are more than 1 minute behind program real-time, it will postpone the update of the program information. Will check again in 20 seconds if we should update the playback UI program information. (62386)

1. Fixed channel-stats issue caused by use-device renew without channel number. This caused the InnoStream to reduce the number of devices watching the same channel by one. Now, when viewing live TV (live or Restart), the channel number is included in the initial and re-new use-device requests. (62302)

1. Added Service Reference and User to FireTV log header. (61029)

1. The grey background image used in the For You UI had a resolution of 3840x2160. This seemed to cause loading issues on some FireTV devices. Changed the background image resolution to 1280x720.

1. Fixed release build and updated rules so minifier doesn't remove needed classes. Updated build script to work with flamingo and new Gradle. Added changes for move to Gradle v8 plugins.

1. Removed unneeded version checks from the Main Menu construction.

1. Added cross-fade transition to program poster changes as the user is navigating grid guide. Fade now does not occur when moving to a poster that is in glide's memory cache.

1. Added the current playing program into the playback program info guide UI. This allows the user to see more information about that playing program than is available in the playback controls UI. This matches Roku and AppleTV behavior when displaying programs in the playback program UI.

1. Now uses a dark background image for all menu UIs except the For UI and grid guide UIs.

1. Startup enhancements - Delays call for IPTV settings to later in the startup processing as the migration-complete flag is no longer needed. Cached InnoStream packages so they don't have to be downloaded during app startup. Moved HLS Packager Settings to later in startup.

1. Now clears card-poster URL when initializing ProgramInfo from protobuf. This fixes an issue where the ProgramInfo can hold an old card-poster URL for a prior program.
   

1. Fixed handling changing channels when favorites filter is enabled but there are no favorite channels configured.

1. Fixed VOD playback buttons for rented assets when selected from the asset list (not rented list). When selecting a rented asset from the asset list (not the Rented list), it will correctly show the Resume and Start-Over buttons. When renting a new asset (e.g. via Watch Free button), then returning to the VOD details page after playback, only the Start-Over button is available. The user cannot Resume from here. The user must back out at least one VOD level and return, then Resume is available. (57962)

1. For You UI updates progress for currently airing programs when the UI is displayed.
   

1. Handles spurious exception in log sender.
   

1. Encrypted some URLs printed in log messages.
   

1. Changed expiring date in details to note if the delete date is "today". Sort expiring recordings by expire-time ascending.
   

1. Fixed an issue that occurs when playing an expiring recording via the details UI and recording to the Recordings UI.
   

1. Changed ProgramInfoCache to a ConcurrentHashMap to fix crash due to concurrency issues.
   

1. Fixed recording VOD last position when playback stops.
   

1. Added additional logging when selecting the VOD server from config data.
   

1. Added initial code for future ability to select audio tracks.
