What’s new with Steem Telly?
- I discovered a bug with the app when DSound audio is not found on their server anymore, this is now fixed.
- Steem Telly is now using an custom API that decides whether to use
- The app is now sending some tracking events to Google Analytics. Those events are such as app launch, media requested, media played, media completed, media failed etc...
