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.
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.
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.
- 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
