Breaking API Changes Fix

The API of media.ccc.de has changed and this little pre-release is a fix for this changes.

One good news and one bad news with this release:

the good news is, that you can finally browse through the whole catalogue of media.ccc.de and use all features again. Older versions are not able anymore to display Talks in the Mediathek, due to the API changes...

the bad news is, that the changes in the API were (for real) breaking changes. The schema for IDs of conferences and talks has changed. Therefore I was not able to migrate old talks from your watchlist and continue-watching section, because they have other IDs now in the API. I am Sorry for that, but I can't do anything about it at the moment.

On the bright side, the App can finally be used again!

More Categories, Bookmarking (Watchlist) and Continue Watching

• Find the latest, most watched or trending talks on the new Home Screen.
• Bookmark interesting talks for later viewing with the watchlist functionality.
• Couldn't finish a talk today? No worries! The app will ask you to pick up playback where you left off.

The one that fixes some stuff

• related events will be displayed again (yay!), because we adapted to the API changes
• conference images will be displayed correctly and not cropped anymore

The long overdue release

The post-congress fatigue is declining and a new release is finally ready:

• On the main screen, conferences are now grouped differently to media.ccc.de. You should now have a better overview of conferences that have been recorded for more than one year, since those get an own group on the left-side-bar ( see #11 )
• Clicking on a speaker of a talk will bring you to a search page with other talks by this speaker ( see #14 , thx @AndreasGB )
• more consistent sorting of conferences and talks
• few improvements on the tile designs to better display information of conferences and talks
• minor fixes for displaying live streams on the main screen

The split - dedicated events page

Thanks to the feedback from 34C3, the new version improved a little bit:

• Conferences are now displayed as tiles on the main page
• Events of a conference get a dedicated page, which can be browsed faster and shows more information at once
• Seeking in videos has been improved
