SDK adds VAST/VMAP ad support (skippable flags, ad markers, breakSeek interceptors), Live features (DVR windows, program guides, automatic program titling) and smart-display controls and media browse. Extras: ExoPlayer plugin, intent to join deep links, beta device channel and an on‑device Receiver Debug Overlay.
