The film keeps playing small at the left of the transport bar while
browsing, and is the button back to the player page. It sits beside
both rows of controls, so the bar is no taller for it, and renders at
thumbnail size four times a second rather than at the film's rate.
The title watched last, or with nothing part-watched one of the titles a
provider has a backdrop for, turning over once a day. Large art behind
the name, rating, genres, three lines of overview, and Resume / More
info.
- a finished batch of downloads, and a crawl long enough to walk away
from, notify through org.freedesktop.Notifications when the window is
not focused; once per batch, not once per file
- Ctrl+V with a share link outside a text field opens the add form
with the link in it
- MPRIS on Linux and SMTC on Windows through souvlaki: play/pause, next,
previous, stop and seeking from media keys and the panel widget, with
the title, episode, duration and the cached cover as a file:// URL
- the screensaver is held off while a film plays on the player page,
through the desktop portal with org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver as the
fallback, and SetThreadExecutionState on Windows. mpv's own
stop-screensaver has no window to act for under the render API
The up-next card shows the next episode's still with the seconds left
running round it, and the still itself plays it. The window opens at
the size and maximized state it closed at; position is left to the
window manager.
- right-click a library tile to play or resume it, mark it watched or
unwatched, download it, change its match, or take it off Continue
watching
- mpv's demuxer-cache-time is shaded on the seek bar, so it shows
whether a jump lands in what is already read ahead
- paused-for-cache shows a spinner over the picture and in the controls
Each share is its own session against its own tree, so one large share
no longer holds the rest back. Stop ends every listing still running;
a share already past its listing finishes storing what it found, since
stopping halfway through replacing its rows would leave them disagreeing
with its downloads.
- ImageCache drops the picture asked for longest ago past 256 MiB and
uploads at most six textures a frame
- posters and thumbnails larger than a card are stored scaled down, so
a cached grid no longer decodes and resizes full backdrops every launch
- a saved watch state patches the library in place instead of rebuilding
it from the catalog; the offline index reuses the library just built
- download byte progress sends one row, not a sorted copy of every row
- the CJK fallback font is found and read off the UI thread
- the watch-state upsert uses a cached statement
- toasts replace the status line; keyboard shortcuts with a ? overlay
- library: filters, sort, row virtualisation, cached search, skeleton
tiles until the catalog loads, gradient placeholder art
- title page: season pills, episode rows with stills and one download
glyph, portrait poster, clamped overview, resume time in the button
- player: fading chrome, smooth scrims, subtitles lifted over the
controls, drag-following seek knob, OSD, speed menu, auto-skip
- settings as grouped cards with toggles and palette previews
- shares: confirm before removing, inline link validation, form kept
until the add succeeds; downloads scroll and show rate and ETA
- downloads pipeline four blocks; the next episode is warmed near the end
- a film behind another page repaints at 4 Hz, not its frame rate
Fixes B55-B60.
A track picked on one episode now carries over to the next by its title as
well as its language, so e.g. "Signs & Songs" vs "Full" subtitles in the same
language stick. Catalog migration V8 adds the title columns; the Android
bridge keeps a stored title only while its language is unchanged.
Type/shape/motion tokens live in theme.rs and every ui/ module reads them
instead of scattering literal sizes and radii. Appearance and playback
preferences move out of the shares page into their own Settings page and
nav tab.
The title backdrop's veil and fades were painted after the header was laid
out, so they covered the name and overview as well as the still — the text
was being dimmed by the thing meant to make it readable. All band layers
now go into the shape slot reserved before the header, behind the text.
