Most files that are not fansub releases carry no chapters, so they had no
skip button. AniSkip knows where an episode's opening and ending are, by
MyAnimeList id and episode number. ani.zip sends each entry's MyAnimeList
id and enrichment now keeps it on every episode row; schema v14 adds the
column and marks AniList titles un-enriched, deleting nothing, as v13 did.
When a file has loaded with no chapter naming an opening or ending, and
its length is known, each client asks once, with enrichment on only. The
answer lives as long as the file is open. with_skip_ranges cuts it into
the chapters as chapters named Opening and Ending, so the skip button,
auto-skip, the up-next countdown and the seek bar's marks all work
through the code a chaptered file uses. A file's own opening or ending
always wins over AniSkip's.
PRIVACY.md lists what is sent: the MyAnimeList id, the episode number and
the file's length.
AniList's fragment now asks for the first ten characters, main roles
first, with their Japanese voice actor, and for the trailer's site and
id. Both are stored in the existing details JSON as TitleDetails.cast and
.trailer with serde defaults, so no migration is needed and details
stored before them still read. The details REVISION goes to 2, so a
stored match is refetched by its id on the next metadata run and the
cast fills in without anyone matching the title again.
The title page shows a Cast row of round portraits with the character's
name over the actor's. Clicking a tile opens the Person browse page for
that actor, which now also admits voice actors, and search counts them
under People and studios. A Trailer button opens the YouTube or
Dailymotion page in the browser; the app itself makes no request to
either, and an unknown site or an id with odd characters gives no link.
TVDB has no films, so ani.zip has no fanart or logo for one, and most of
the titles in a real library with nothing wide to draw were films. ani.zip
does name the TMDB entry of every AniList match. With a TMDB key stored
and AniList chosen, an entry left without a backdrop or a logo is asked
for /{movie,tv}/{id}/images: one request, by id, so no title name goes to
TMDB. A bare backdrop and a PNG logo in the viewer's language are
preferred, and a failure there only costs the art.
The TMDB key field is now offered with either provider, labelled optional
with AniList. TMDB as the provider fetches its logo the same way, and
backdrops at w1280 rather than w780. A forced run re-enriches hand-picked
titles too, so saving a key and matching everything again reaches them.
With AniList chosen, a title AniList has no match for is now searched on
TVmaze, keyless, before it is given up on. One provider for the whole library
left live-action shows in a share of anime unmatched, and switching to TMDB
would have dropped every AniList match, chain and shelf.
The service holds a chain of providers. A match is stored under the provider
that gave it, and enrichment and refreshes go to that provider; a miss is
stored under the last provider asked, and is_fresh only trusts a miss from the
end of the chain, so AniList misses stored before this are asked again at once.
A provider failure still ends the lookup instead of falling through.
The hand matcher searches every provider in the chain and labels each result
with its source. TVmaze is never offered in the settings and is not asked
about titles known to be films.
ani.zip sent each series' TVDB clear logo and every episode's running
time from the start, and neither was kept. Enrichment now stores the logo
in title_metadata.logo_url (kept across a refresh of the same entry, like
the fanart) and episode runtimes in episode_metadata.runtime, TVDB's
first and AniDB's length after it. AniList's duration lands in
TitleDetails::runtime; TMDB episode runtimes are kept too.
Schema v13 adds the two columns and marks AniList titles un-enriched
without deleting anything. TitleDetails::revision lets details written
before runtime existed refetch by id while the old ones stay on screen,
instead of blanking them in the migration as v10 did.
Clear logos are padded to a square, so each client crops them to their
visible pixels before drawing. The logo replaces the name on the
library's banner and the title page (not on a light theme's title page,
where lettering made for dark art can vanish). Episode rows show how long
they run, in place of the file size on Android and iOS; a film's runtime
joins its line of facts.
The four Rebuild of Evangelion films in one folder were one series:
`- 1.11` read as episode 1, and every file took the folder's name, so
the whole folder matched a single film. A dash followed by a decimal is
now part of the film's name, and a folder whose files are all
unnumbered, outside any grouping folder and each named differently
gives each file its own title.
AniList needs every query word in a title, and a film's version number
is not in it, so a search that finds nothing is retried without it.
All four films now match their own entries.
A Proton account is now optional alongside public links. Signing in (password,
then a second-factor code and a mailbox password where the account has them;
a CAPTCHA gate is solved in the Android app) stores one session blob in the OS
credential store under `proton-account`, writing back every refreshed token
since refresh tokens are single-use. With an account, folders of the viewer's
own Drive — My Files, other devices, shared with me — can be added as shares
through the same `ShareClient` surface as a public link.
Watch history syncs through a `proton-stream` device in that Drive: one
`watch-history/<installation>.json` per installation, so no two devices ever
write the same file. Each sync reads the others and merges per episode, newer
`updated_at` wins, with a deterministic tie-break. It runs at launch, after
sign-in, whenever the player closes and every five minutes. A session that can
no longer refresh signs the app out instead of failing on every launch.
The CLI gains `login`, `logout`, `account`, `browse` and `sync`.
Also in this change:
- Android offline downloads no longer look stuck (B64): two transfer at once,
through a copy stream with no read-ahead, with a smoothed transfer rate.
- Choosing a metadata match by hand now enriches the title too, instead of
keeping the old match's episodes and artwork.
The catalog schema is unchanged.
The AniList query now keeps the start date, season, banner, popularity,
status, next airing episode, tags, main studios, director and story
relations, as TitleDetails in one JSON column (schema v10). Matches
stored without them are fetched again by id, never searched, so
hand-picked matches stay; refreshing the same entry keeps its episodes
and fanart. Enrichment records the entries it walked. node_first_seen
remembers when each file appeared, across recrawls.
pstr_core::franchise groups titles that share a provider id. The grid
folds each franchise into its lead with a +N badge, and the title page
lists the whole franchise in release order. pstr_core::shelves picks
rows by airing status, director, studio and genre. A row needs three
franchises, so one franchise's titles never make a row on their own.
Desktop:
- Covers are the default grid (Settings > Appearance > Library tiles).
- The hero and title band use fanart or banner decoded at 1920 px.
- New sorts: recently added, newest, highest rated, most popular.
- Titles can show the share's, English or romaji name; search matches
all of them.
Android carries TitleDetails through a hand-picked match; its screens
are unchanged.
AniList's per-season lookup searched for "<title> 2nd Season" and the
scorer picked the base entry again, so Attack on Titan seasons 2-4 and
Jigokuraku season 2 were captioned with season one's names. Episode
names came from streamingEpisodes, which is partial and numbered however
a streaming site counted. Bleach S17 and Mushishi S02/S03 had none.
AniList now walks SEQUEL relations from the match and takes each
entry's episodes from ani.zip, which carries TVDB's season, number and
absolute number. An episode row keeps all three plus its place in the
AniList entry. EpisodeGuide::get matches whichever numbering a file
uses and never answers from another season.
Episodes and fanart are stored as one enrichment. The episode list is
replaced even when empty, and the enrichment is recorded as asked, so a
film is not re-asked every run. Storing a different match drops the old
entry's episode rows. AniList's 4.75:1 bannerImage is no longer stored
as the 16:9 backdrop; ani.zip's 1920x1080 fanart is used instead.
Schema v9 adds the columns and deletes the AniList episode rows and
banners. Matches are kept. Desktop, Android and the CLI now share
service::plan and MetadataService::work. The settings text names
ani.zip. Audit and roadmap in docs/METADATA.md; bug entry B61.
