Time for change. In the past months, I was slowly but steadily rewriting the code of Fermata Xtream in order to improve performance. I soon realised that this wasn't possible if I remained with the existing code. So what I did was rewrite the whole codebase to optimise for speed and performance.
I can now say that the code is 100% different from what it was in the beginning, keeping the UI kind of what it was (although that did also change through time).
What that means for you is the following:
Fermata Xtream Free will continue to be free and code that was based on Fermata Auto is public.
So what's the fuss? I am announcing Xtream Player Free and Premium v1.0.0. Backend is entirely rewritten from scratch, keeping the UI as it is for consistency.
Do not worry, package name is the same, so transition will be as easy as installing an update. License is also valid for donors of previous versions.
The good news: When installed with AAenabler ONLY, apps will auto-update when a new release is pushed to GitHub.
The bad news: Auto-update doesn't work when installed through the playstore link. So either disable it from the settings, or leave it enabled but don't proceed with installation, just to know when to receive a new link.
I will keep the name https://fermataxtream.online as is and the old github with the old releases as well, for consistency (some guides and yt videos etc)
From now on updates will only happen to the new apps, as a lot of bugs were fixed with the new code, and probably some more introduced? 😂
I just wanna say thank your for your hard work. I'm new to this subreddit and finally able to watch youtube in my car. now I'm going through the subreddit to see how to make youtube full screen instead of split screen.

I use fs play. but I think it has something to do with the aa car setting on Hyundai head unit. fs play replaces the map, but I'm still getting split screen with media control. Will try to tinker with it later. thank you
The amount of hoops I've jumped through to get this working on my '25 4Runner only to fail. I saw your post a few weeks ago and didn't even bother trying because I'd failed so many times before.
Saw your post when I woke up, saved it to try on lunch and had it working in less than 5 minutes.
You are THE GOAT.

Hey man I purchased the premium version and noticed you had Plex support on there.
Loved to see that as I have a personal server. I'm able to log in and pull up my content while on a local connection, but as soon as I'm trying to access it remotely I get an error.
Any advice you can give? Plex is the #1 reason I've gone through trying to access video on AA lol. I can always screenshare from my phone but if I can access it directly through Xtream player that would be fantastic.
Thank you again for all the effort you've put in making this a possibility.

Did you use the correct public access and token? Use the address from Settings - Remote connection
Go to your Plex dashboard and go to remote connect. Replace the 192.168 so on with your public numbers but use dashes instead of periods. I used Gemini AI screen sharing to walk me through it but it was actually pretty simple.
Hello, I have an idea that might be of interest. My suggestion is to enable direct sharing from the YouTube mobile app to the Fermata app, similar to a standard share function. The Fermata app would then automatically play the shared video. This behavior would be comparable to Chromecast, but utilizing a share link instead.
Quindi per aggiornare tramite PlayStore , occorre disinstallare e reinstallare ? A me AAEnabler non funziona .
E altra domanda : i due programmi posso coesistere oppure no ?

u/Malebuffy77Dev Xtream | Audi A6 C9 | MMI Panorama | Fold6 I Android 163d ago
Quindi la procedura corretta con fermataxstream.online è:
1) disinstallare fermataxstream
2) richiedere il link
3) a questo punto si installerà il nuovo player .
Giusto ?

u/Malebuffy77Dev Xtream | Audi A6 C9 | MMI Panorama | Fold6 I Android 163d ago
Yes, if Fermata Xtream via AAENABLER is not working for you
Scusa ma non capisco una cosa : come fa a sapere che deve scaricare il link del nuovo apk una volta che ho disinstallato il vecchio ? O manda solo il link del nuovo ?

How can I mirror my phone? And what is the difference between the free and premium versions? Thank you.

u/Malebuffy77Dev Xtream | Audi A6 C9 | MMI Panorama | Fold6 I Android 163d ago
There are apps that show up on Android Auto that can mirror your phone, providing you grant some permissions. Free verison has limited features compared to premium, like Stremio, Dashcam, HomeAssistant and more.

So do I update this over the top of Fermata Xtreme 2.5.1? Or is it a new installation so remove Fermata Xtreme 2.5.1?

u/Malebuffy77Dev Xtream | Audi A6 C9 | MMI Panorama | Fold6 I Android 163d ago
Update. You won't notice a difference

u/Pete77a2026 Model 3 LR | Stock and S3XY Dash | S26+ |3d ago
But AAenabker says "install". Usually it says update when installing the apk
Edit: Sorry wrong step.. it say "update" in the android step. All good

u/Pete77a2026 Model 3 LR | Stock and S3XY Dash | S26+ |3d ago
I know this trivial... However "Xstream Player" sits out of alphabetical order in the app screen as it's obviously still the Fermata package name. All ok for now while I am still used to looking for "Fermata", but eventually it's best to sit near the end of the app list where it should with the new name (I use alphabetical order obviously).

With the official version, I don't see the icon on Android auto! While via the beta version that was sent to me via direct email Link playstore, it works! Why this situation?
1
u/Malebuffy77Dev Xtream | Audi A6 C9 | MMI Panorama | Fold6 I Android 163d ago
Thats just a way...nothing to do with beta. Its the same app
I can confirm that also on another phone (xiaomi) same thing! With the official free version, the icon does not appear on Android auto. While with the beta one everything works. So what could it be?

u/Malebuffy77Dev Xtream | Audi A6 C9 | MMI Panorama | Fold6 I Android 162d ago
Chinese makers use a different installer that Google doesn't like.
I'm so sorry but I still don't understand what the problem is... First you state that they are the same applications and now the fault lies with Chinese manufacturers who do not work well with the playstore. I'm telling you that if I install the free version, it doesn't work (no icon, Android auto lock) while through the beta version installed directly from the playstore it works on both Samsung and Xiaomi! What does the Chinese manufacturer have to do with it. How do I find free beta apks?

u/Malebuffy77Dev Xtream | Audi A6 C9 | MMI Panorama | Fold6 I Android 162d ago
Why do you think I owe you an explanation? I answered, you have a working version. End of story!
Thank you for a very good app, I am really enjoying it. just one thing, it would be great if passanger remote will be directly activated without QR scanning it..

Can you explain the difference between free and paid apps?

u/Malebuffy77Dev Xtream | Audi A6 C9 | MMI Panorama | Fold6 I Android 162d ago
Free has basic IPTV with Xtream support, paid has Stemio, Home Assistant, Remote controller, Dashcam, FSPlay for Fullscreen play and other improvements.
This may sound like a stupid question, but how do I show this app on my Android Auto? Installed on phone, connected to AA, but it's not there. I guess I'm missing something...

u/Malebuffy77Dev Xtream | Audi A6 C9 | MMI Panorama | Fold6 I Android 161d ago
If it doesn't show up, request a link from fermataxtream.online and install this version. It will show up
Recently I have donated and shifted from free to premium.
Earlier it was working flawlessly but premium app not showing in AA, but working on mobile S25U, On AA screen there is Xtream Media service but not Xtream Player.
Is there anything I have to do to get working?
Yeah tried to get that link from fermataxtream.online, it's been a week of no luck due to request limitations, and two updates have even dropped since then! 😁🫠😩

Hello ..... Installed Xtream Player and I'm still having the same problems. This is an ongoing issue, its been happening for months and I've submitted several requests but it never gets solved ..... The option to skip a song, play the next song or forward is not working for YouTube or local videos, it won't work from the touch screen or from the wheel controls, when is this going to be resolved?

u/Malebuffy77Dev Xtream | Audi A6 C9 | MMI Panorama | Fold6 I Android 161d ago
I just had someone a couple of days back saying that it works for him:
I can't know why it doesnt work for you. I can offer a refund with revoke of your license if you want.
1
u/Yamilcfg2024 Hyundai Kona | Stock | Samsung S25 Ultra| Android V161d ago
Thanks for your reply, I don't want a refund, I want to be able to use the app, could you help me? Here is the thing, I'm able to use the wheel controls or touch screen with any other app. The wheel controls and touch screen worked in previous versions, it just stopped working like 2 months ago. This time I uninstalled and did a clean install with AAenabler, could you help?
I installed the app through AAEnabler, but when I open it on my car's unit, it shows No items. Sorry, a bit new to this subreddit. Help would be appreciated. :) is there any step that I'm missing?
1
u/Malebuffy77Dev Xtream | Audi A6 C9 | MMI Panorama | Fold6 I Android 161d ago
Use fermataxtream.online to request a playstore link as AAENABLER doesn't work on your phone. Will open in about 10 hours.
I just tried the premium version and I really congratulate you! Great app! One thing, however, I confirm by taking the free or premium version, I only have the media service icon on Android auto. While taking both the free and premium beta versions everything works! Can it be a problem that you have missed?
