A title without artwork shows the accent as a gradient with its initials
instead of a black card with a play triangle, so a library of unmatched
titles is no longer a grid of identical cards. Art with the name already
over it, and episode stills, get the gradient without initials. While
artwork loads, and while the catalog first loads, the page shows pulsing
shapes where the posters will be rather than a spinner.
The screenshot tests turn artwork loading off, so whether a failed fetch
lands before the capture no longer decides what the image shows.
An Episodes button in the controls opens a sheet of the title's episodes,
scrolled to the one playing, each with its still, its name, and whether
it is playing, watched or part way. A tap switches to it the way
previous and next do, saving the outgoing position first.
The card shows the next episode's still, or Proton's thumbnail of it, with
a ring over it that runs down to the switch and plays it at once on a tap.
The provider's episode name heads it where there is one. "Watch till the
end" stays under it.
pstr_mpv observes demuxer-cache-time and hands it over with the rest of
the state, and the seek bar shades from the start to where the demuxer
has read, lighter than the played part. A jump that lands in the shaded
run costs no fetch, as on the desktop.
- Settings > Storage chooses the streaming cache's budget, 1 to 16 GiB,
and shows what it holds against it. The bridge gains
set_stream_cache_budget, which the next connection is built with and
an open one evicts down to at once. Android keeps the choice in its own
settings, like the desktop keeps it in desktop.json, and tells the
engine as it is created. Unset stays at the shared 4 GiB default.
- Settings > Playback can turn hardware decoding off for a device whose
decoder shows green or torn frames. pstr_mpv sets hwdec before each
loadfile, so it applies from the next episode.
Player and library screens drop hardcoded blacks, whites and radii for
scheme roles and shape tokens, and use the shared button wrappers.
Continue watching was pinned above the poster grid, holding a fixed slice
of the screen on every scroll. It is now a full-span item at the top of the
grid, so it scrolls away with the rest.
