Edge Player 2.9.0
https://edge-player.com

Extract the downloaded ZIP, then run EdgeSetup-2.9.0.exe to install.
The English/Arabic installer supports Next and Back, per-user installation,
an optional desktop shortcut and standard Windows uninstallation.

Your library opens automatically on future launches when Keep me signed in
on this device is checked. This is enabled by default. Sign out removes the
saved sign-in. Windows encrypts saved credentials for your Windows account.
A temporary provider or network failure does not erase the saved sign-in.

Live TV uses a numbered channel list with logos beside the player. Choose a
channel with one click, search while watching, switch category, or enter full
screen. Full screen hides the list and controls until you move the pointer.
The same live player is used when opening channels from Favorites or History.

Audio boost in Settings adjusts the audio from 100% (original) to 500%.
Drag to any percentage; the value is saved automatically. Original audio
resets it to 100%. Volume, mute and multiview audio selection still apply.
Lower the boost if an already loud video becomes distorted.
Separate microphone and CC buttons control audio tracks and subtitles.

First opening: choose a plan, enter your name and WhatsApp OR email, review
the owner's transfer instructions, attach a PNG/JPG/PDF receipt (up to 8 MB)
and send the request. Your device/user code is included automatically.

After successful submission, an unused 7-day trial starts and Edge opens the
IPTV connection screen directly. The owner reviews the payment and confirms
the actual paid plan. Edge activates automatically while online; you do not
need an activation code. The paid term starts when the owner approves it.
Playback stops after the trial expires without approval. Repeated requests
do not restart the trial. Follow up from Settings > My subscription.

One license = one device. One year $6, two years $10, lifetime $20.
Transfer instructions can change; always read those shown for your plan.
No payment is sent by the app. Edge provides no IPTV subscription or content.
IPTV credentials and viewing history are not sent to the licensing service.

Series include a season/part selector, episode duration when supplied, and
an About button showing available details. Missing fields stay hidden.
Next/previous episodes keep their order across seasons; the next episode
never starts automatically. Watched markers and progress remain available.

Device-bound RSA-signed tokens support up to 72 hours offline after a valid
check, within the subscription term. Trials can never exceed seven days.
The installer is not Authenticode-signed. Its SHA-256 identifies the download;
this is separate from the signature on license tokens. ZIP packaging does
not remove Windows SmartScreen warnings.

Included VLC license files: runtime/vlc-3.0.24. Native source: licenses/source.
Third-party notices are preserved. Installer built with Inno Setup.

Startup writes the Edge wordmark along its connected pen strokes, then plays
the play-badge click animation and holds the finished logo for one second.
Loading runs in the background and never skips the intro. The sign-in
form stays hidden. The connection button is now Sign in / دخول.

Click the speaker beside Volume to mute/unmute, including while opening a video.
The chosen level is preserved. Moving Volume restores sound; zero displays mute.
The opening wordmark is handwritten as a continuous vector brush stroke, with
natural pressure, real overtracing, connected loops and no bitmap reveal mask.
The handwritten shape now follows measured curves and brush widths from
the original wordmark, restoring its heavier lettering and original loops.
Setup shows an activity indicator while preparing the installation.
