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.
B14-B42 record the Android review the theme and lifecycle work came out of.
DESIGN-TOKENS.md states what both clients agree on and where each keeps its
copy.
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.
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.
