Megacubo 17.7.0: what changed
The version of 6 September 2026 moved to a new Electron base, hardened window navigation and removed one memory copy from the video path — and what that changes for someone already using it

Earlier articles
Written between 2017 and 2026: why the player exists, the keyboard shortcuts, the adult content lock, how to help the project and why live television is transforming.
Return of TV
Written in January 2026: why the exhaustion of catalogues brought live television back to the centre, and what a playlist player has to do with it — the outside figures the original cited were not re-checked, so they are not repeated

Read the articleFrequently asked questions
How many articles are there?
Eight: three about the current version — what changed in 17.7.0, what to expect on Linux and how to read the project's older pages — and five written earlier and kept up to date. Text without a question behind it becomes noise, and the section already publishes the full documentation in the guides and support trees.
Where are the complete release notes?
The section has a release-notes page with the current publication, the install notes per system and a link to the project's releases, which are the original source — with the files and the history of more than 170 published versions.
Are the articles from the earlier years still here?
Yes, dated. Nothing was deleted: where a subject already has a current page, the older address answers with that page, so a link someone saved keeps working.
