An MSI upgrade left the app without libmpv-2.dll until it was installed a
second time (B62). Costing runs before RemoveExistingProducts, saw the old
DLL at the same version and skipped the copy, and removing the old product
then deleted it. Both installer definitions now set REINSTALLMODE=amus;
every file is private to the install directory.
A taskbar pin lost its icon after a while (B63). The exe carried no icon
resource, and the Start Menu shortcut's icon lived in the per-ProductCode
installer cache that each upgrade deletes. build.rs now compiles the .ico
into proton-stream.exe, and the shortcut has no Icon of its own (and in the
WiX build is no longer advertised), so both show the exe's icon.
Bring the phase 2 library to Android. Search, sorting and franchise folding
move from the desktop app into pstr_core::browse, so both clients find,
fold and order the same titles the same way.
The bridge gains AndroidEngine::arrangement, which returns the grid's tiles
and up to three shelves as keys into the library's titles. Each TitleRecord
now carries its display name, wide art, format, season, studios, directors,
tags, airing state and franchise. The library bar has a sort menu with the
franchise toggle, folded tiles show a +N badge, and shelves sit above the
grid. The title page shows the same facts, tags and franchise row as the
desktop. Settings -> Appearance gains Title names.
The default title name is now English, which is what Android always showed.
A folded franchise now sorts by its lead's displayed name rather than by its
alphabetically first member.
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.
- 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.
The icon follows proton-drive-linux's logo: a violet gradient tile with
a darker lower edge, and a white play mark with a soft shadow, cut into
the blocks a revision is fetched in. The SVG, the window PNG and the
Windows .ico are rendered from one source.
On Android it is an adaptive icon with a monochrome layer for themed
icons, and the notification glyph is the same mark. The app is named
"Proton Stream"; the launcher shows "Stream", since "proton-stream" was
cut to "proton-st…".
The SDK retries a request that fails before its response starts, but not a
block body cut off part way through. That error stopped playback or failed
a download, and the SDK's new keep-alive pings make it the way a dead
connection now ends: seconds in, rather than at the storage timeout.
A block is now fetched up to three times, 250 ms and then 500 ms apart,
while ProtonError::is_retriable says a replay could succeed. A permanent
refusal still fails on the first attempt.
A SwiftUI app that drives the same UniFFI engine as Android: Rust owns the
Proton sessions, SQLite and every decrypted byte, and Swift asks it questions
off the main thread. Playback goes through MPVKit's libmpv, with the pstr://
stream protocol ported from the Android JNI half, and secrets live in the
Keychain.
scripts/build-ios.sh builds the static library for aarch64-apple-ios, writes
the Swift bindings (module PstrBridge), generates the Xcode project with
XcodeGen and packages an unsigned .ipa for SideStore or AltStore, which
re-sign it with the viewer's own Apple ID. The generated project, Info.plist
and build output are ignored.
Toasts through WinRT, under the app id io.narl.proton-stream. The id is
registered for the current user under HKCU\Software\Classes\AppUserModelId
with a display name and icon on the first notification of a session, which
is what lets an app with no package or installer-made shortcut show one. If
that write fails, the toast goes out under PowerShell's id rather than not
at all.
A second launch hands its request to the open window and exits: over a
Unix socket in the user's runtime directory, or a named pipe on Windows
whose name carries a random key from the user's config directory, so
another account cannot take the name first. The open window comes forward,
and a share link given as the first such argument opens the Add form with
it filled in. Setup failures are logged and the app runs without the lock.
A button in the player's title strip, or E, opens the title's episodes
down the right of the picture, a season at a time, starting on the
playing season and scrolled to the playing episode. Each row has its still
(which plays it), its name, and whether it is playing, watched or part
way. The controls stay up while the list is out, and Esc closes it before
it leaves fullscreen or the player.
Every played episode, newest first, under Today, Yesterday, a weekday or a
date. A row shows the still (which plays it), the title (which opens it),
the episode, and where it stopped or that it was finished. Removing a row
resets that file to never played, with an Undo. History sits second in the
top bar, so Ctrl+1 to Ctrl+5 now run Library, History, Shares, Downloads,
Settings.
A provider with an API key read it from the OS credential store inside
Engine::new, which is a D-Bus round trip to a keyring that may have to
unlock first. It is now built on the blocking pool. Until it lands, poster
fetches, match runs and match searches wait for it rather than concluding
there is no provider and marking posters missing. A settings change made
in the meantime wins over the launch-time build. The share list is read
on the blocking pool too.
theme::space, theme::radius and theme::motion name the steps the UI is
drawn with. Literal gaps, corner radii and animation durations across ui/
now come from them, which folds a few near-misses onto the scale (10 and 14
point gaps onto 12, 10 point radii onto 12, 0.10 s hovers onto 0.12 s).
Page fades and toasts share one ease_out curve.
The watched and download buttons were laid out with with_layout(right_to_left,
Center), which takes every point of height the scroll area has left and
centres the buttons in it. Give the cluster the still's height instead.
Headings are set in Inter SemiBold, everything else in Inter Regular, so a
title sets the same on every desktop. Media and navigation glyphs (⏭, 🔊, ⛶,
★) come from the Phosphor icon font instead of whichever fallback font had
them. The CJK fallback still loads on its own thread and now joins the
bundled fonts instead of replacing them. The window carries the app icon
on X11 and Windows.
- a page fades in over 140 ms when the page changes, rather than cutting
- Ctrl+S in the player saves the frame, without subtitles, to
Pictures/proton-stream as "Title S01E04 12-34.png"
Tiles and episode stills light up under focus as they do under the
pointer and scroll into view when the arrow keys or Tab reach them;
Enter opens or plays. Global keys now check for a focused text field
rather than any focused widget, so / and Esc still work over a tile.
A toast can carry a button. Marking a whole title watched or unwatched
from its tile menu, and taking it off Continue watching, both lose
state the viewer may have wanted; each now says what it did with an
Undo that puts every changed watch state back as it was.
- the streaming cache's budget (1-16 GiB) is chosen in Settings, shows
what it holds, and can be emptied; a lower budget evicts at once
- hardware decoding can be turned off for a driver that shows green
frames, from the next file
- both live in desktop.json rather than the playback prefs shared with
Android, whose bridge record would reset them on every save. A file
that will not parse is never overwritten
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 block the player waits for no longer waits on its disk-cache write and
two fsyncs; the put runs in a spawned task and only the block itself is
synced before the rename. Opening a stream can fetch the first and last
block together, where MKV cues and the MP4 moov live. Downloads open a
copying stream that reads the disk cache but never fills it.
crawl_reporting reports the running file count after each listing.
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.
storedPalette() reads and resolves the theme file without building the
engine, so onCreate can set the window background and system-bar icon
polarity before anything draws. Previously the background was a hex literal
in themes.xml and the bar icons were pinned dark, which meant every cold
start flashed one flavour's colour and Latte drew white icons on a
near-white page.
Adds the Material scheme mapping, type ramp and shape tokens the palette
feeds, plus unit tests for both.
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.
