Sync carried only watch positions, so a second device started empty. The
per-installation history file now also carries per-key registers
(pstr-core::profile): every share with its link and custom password, the
playback, appearance and metadata settings, the TMDB key, hand-picked
matches and per-title track choices. Newer updated_at wins per key, a
removal travels as an empty register, and a first sync stamps at 0 so a
fresh install takes the library the other devices have instead of
overwriting it with defaults. Volume, mute and the device-only settings
(cache budget, Wi-Fi only, background audio, hardware decoding) stay out.
The secrets live only in the end-to-end encrypted Drive file, never in
shares.json. FORMAT_VERSION stays 1; an older build ignores the registers.
Adding a share stored it before opening the link, so a first failure left a
broken entry and every retry said "already configured". add_verified opens
the link first and stores nothing on failure, and only the new share is
crawled afterwards, so another broken share cannot fail the add.
Android drops picture-in-picture: the window sized the video wrongly and
background audio already covers leaving the app.
iOS sizes the Metal drawable on every layout, so the picture no longer
stretches after a rotation or a Split View resize. Settings show a save at
once rather than after the match run, and a failed save reverts and says
why. Both phone clients gain an activity banner naming what is running, and
the add-share, metadata and change-match forms show progress and errors in
place.
- Desktop shows Proton's CAPTCHA instead of failing the sign-in: a wry webview
in a child process of the app (`pstr-app::verify`), confined to
https://*.proton.me, hands the token back and the sign-in is retried. Linux
packages and CI gain WebKitGTK 4.1; the Windows zip and MSI ship
WebView2Loader.dll, without which a -gnu build does not start.
- The desktop keyring splits a secret too long for one entry across several,
so a Proton session with many key salts survives Windows' 1280-unit cap.
Short secrets stay one entry, so every existing secret still reads.
- `WatchSync` runs against a small `HistoryDrive` trait and is tested end to
end against an in-memory Drive: two devices, newer wins, no re-upload of an
unchanged history, a missing file written again, an unreadable own file
never overwritten, a newer-format file left alone.
- An installation's file unwritten for 90 days is retired by the next device
to sync, after its entries are merged and carried in that device's file.
- Removing a share keeps its watch state: sync would bring it back from the
other devices anyway, and re-adding the share picks up where it left off.
- Watch history syncs once more on desktop exit (bounded to 3 s) and, on
Android, through a WorkManager job enqueued when the app leaves the screen.
- The second-factor prompts say security keys are not supported.
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.
