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.
A search now also finds, with posters and descriptions on, the directors
and studios and the genres whose names hold it, as chips that open their
page, and the episodes whose provider names hold it, which play from the
result (pstr_core::discover::find). The titles it found follow under
their own heading.
The last eight searches are kept in recent-searches.json on this device
only (pstr_core::recent), written only when a search led somewhere, and
offered under the empty search box with a way to clear them. The bridge
exposes search_extras, recent_searches, remember_search and
forget_searches.
On Android and iOS the library's titles are now the whole library
whatever is searched for; the grid narrows through the arrangement, as
it already did. A title opened from an episode result can then always be
shown, and History and Downloads no longer shrink to the search.
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.
docs/ gains pages for people using the app rather than building it:
getting started, installation, the user guide, account and sync,
Android and iOS, the command line, privacy, an FAQ and troubleshooting.
docs/README.md is the wiki's home page.
scripts/publish-wiki.sh, ported from proton-drive-linux, checks every
link in docs/ and README.md, rewrites links between pages to wiki page
names and copies the images they show. The Wiki workflow runs the check
on pull requests and publishes on every push to main.
images/ holds library, title and episode screenshots from the desktop
and Android apps, and the logo.
