Anime releases often carry two subtitle tracks in one language, the
dialogue and a "Signs & Songs" track, and the second is as often as not
the one marked default or forced. mpv, picking by language, played it.
pstr_core::subtitles reads a track's name and forced flag for whether it
is the dialogue, and every client asks it once per file, after mpv has
made its own pick, whether to switch to a track in the same language
that is. A subtitle track the viewer chose by name stays, and subtitles
that are off stay off.
The bridge's open_subtitles opens and publishes them and names the one to
turn on. The native player holds them until mpv has the episode loaded,
adds them with sub-add, and releases them instead when another episode
was loaded in the meantime.
Picture-in-Picture was removed from the Android client, but B40 still
read as a live fix, B42 stayed open on a `pending` PiP case that no
longer exists, and two code comments still named it. PLAN.md marked
every recommendation done; its status now lists the ones a source
review found short.
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.
