# Changelog
## v0.11.1 (2026-04-04)
- Fixed Linux packaged builds to expose the canonical `SubMiner` app identity to Electron's startup metadata so native Wayland compositors stop reporting the window class/app-id as lowercase `subminer`.
- Fixed Linux to restore the runtime options, Jimaku, and Subsync shortcuts after the Electron 39 regression by routing those actions through the overlay's mpv/IPC shortcut path.
## v0.11.0 (2026-04-03)
- Added a playlist browser overlay modal for browsing sibling video files and the live mpv queue during playback, with a default `Ctrl+Alt+P` keybinding.
- Made mpv plugin installation mandatory in first-run setup (removed skip path); Finish stays disabled until the plugin is installed.
- Fixed the Windows `SubMiner mpv` shortcut to launch mpv with required default args directly instead of requiring an `mpv.conf` profile named `subminer`.

- Added a dedicated Subtitle Sidebar guide to the docs site with links from homepage and configuration docs.
## v0.10.0 (2026-03-29)
- Fixed stats startup so the immersion tracker can run when `Bun.serve` is unavailable.
- Added a Node `http` fallback for Electron/runtime paths that do not expose Bun, so stats keeps working there too.
- Updated Discord Rich Presence to the maintained `@xhayper/discord-rpc` wrapper.

- Restored macOS mpv passthrough while the overlay subtitle sidebar is open so clicks outside the sidebar can refocus mpv and keep native keybindings working.

- Fixed Windows overlay window tracking on scaled displays by converting native tracked window bounds to Electron DIP coordinates.

- Restored controller navigation and lookup/mining controls while the subtitle sidebar is open, while keeping true modal dialogs blocking controller actions.
- Fixed subtitle annotation clearing so explanatory contrast endings like `んですけど` are excluded consistently across the shared tokenizer filter and annotation stage.

- Added an app-owned YouTube subtitle flow with absPlayer-style timedtext parsing that auto-loads the default primary subtitle plus a best-effort secondary at startup and resumes once the primary is ready.

# Installation
## How the Pieces Fit Together
SubMiner is an overlay that sits on top of mpv. It connects to mpv through an IPC socket, renders subtitles as interactive text using a bundled Yomitan dictionary engine, and optionally creates Anki flashcards via AnkiConnect.
To get a working setup you need:
1. **mpv** launched with an IPC socket so SubMiner can read subtitle data
2. **SubMiner** (the Electron overlay app)
3. **Dictionaries** imported into the bundled Yomitan instance (lookups won't work without at least one)
4. **Anki + AnkiConnect** _(optional but recommended)_ for card creation and enrichment
The `subminer` launcher script handles step 1 automatically. If you launch mpv yourself or from another tool, you must pass `--input-ipc-server=/tmp/subminer-socket` (or the equivalent named pipe on Windows) — without it the overlay will start but subtitles will never appear.
## Requirements
### System Dependencies
| Dependency | Required | Notes |
| -------------------- | ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| -------------------- | ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| mpv | Yes | Must support IPC sockets (`--input-ipc-server`) |
| Bun | For wrapper | Required for `subminer` CLI wrapper and source builds. Pre-built releases (AppImage, DMG, installer) work without it — only the `subminer` wrapper script needs Bun on `PATH`. |
| ffmpeg | Recommended | Audio extraction and screenshot generation. Without it SubMiner still runs, but audio and image fields on Anki cards will be empty. |

### Prerequisites
1. Install [`mpv`](https://mpv.io/installation/) and ensure `mpv.exe` is on `PATH`. If mpv is installed elsewhere, you can set `mpv.executablePath` in `config.jsonc` or use the first-run setup field to point at the executable.

### Getting Started on Windows
### Windows Usage Notes
1. **Run `SubMiner.exe` once** — first-run setup creates `%APPDATA%\SubMiner\config.jsonc`, installs the mpv plugin, and opens Yomitan settings for dictionary import.
2. **Create the SubMiner mpv shortcut** _(recommended)_ — the setup popup offers to create a `SubMiner mpv` Start Menu and/or Desktop shortcut. This is the recommended way to launch playback on Windows.
3. **Play a video** — double-click the shortcut, drag a video file onto it, or run from a terminal:
> [!TIP]
> On Windows the `subminer` launcher script must be invoked with `bun run subminer` instead of running directly. The recommended alternative is the **SubMiner mpv** shortcut — double-click it, drag files onto it, or run `SubMiner.exe --launch-mpv` from a terminal.
```powershell
& "C:\Program Files\SubMiner\SubMiner.exe" --launch-mpv "C:\Videos\episode 01.mkv"
```
- Launch `SubMiner.exe` once to let the first-run setup flow seed `%APPDATA%\\SubMiner\\config.jsonc`, require mpv plugin installation, and open bundled Yomitan settings. The optional `SubMiner mpv` Start Menu/Desktop shortcut can also be created during setup, and on Windows it is the recommended way to launch mpv playback with SubMiner defaults.
- If `mpv.exe` is not on `PATH`, set `mpv.executablePath` in `config.jsonc` or use the first-run setup field to point at the executable. Leave it blank to keep PATH auto-discovery.
- `SubMiner.exe --launch-mpv` and the optional `SubMiner mpv` shortcut pass SubMiner's default mpv socket/subtitle args directly and do not require an `mpv.conf` profile named `subminer`.
- First-run mpv plugin installs pin `binary_path` to the current `SubMiner.exe` automatically. Manual plugin configs can leave `binary_path` empty unless SubMiner is installed in a non-standard location.
- Windows plugin installs rewrite `socket_path` to `\\.\pipe\subminer-socket`; do not keep `/tmp/subminer-socket` on Windows.
- Native window tracking is built in on Windows; no `xdotool`, `xwininfo`, or compositor-specific helper is required.
The shortcut and `--launch-mpv` pass SubMiner's default IPC socket and subtitle args directly — no `mpv.conf` profile is needed.
### Windows-Specific Notes
- The `subminer` launcher script requires [Bun](https://bun.sh) and must be invoked with `bun run subminer` on Windows since the shebang is not supported. The **SubMiner mpv** shortcut or `SubMiner.exe --launch-mpv` is the simpler alternative.
- First-run plugin installs pin `binary_path` to the current `SubMiner.exe` automatically. Manual plugin configs can leave `binary_path` empty unless SubMiner is in a non-standard location.
- Plugin installs rewrite `socket_path` to `\\.\pipe\subminer-socket` — do not keep `/tmp/subminer-socket` on Windows.
- Config is stored at `%APPDATA%\SubMiner\config.jsonc`.

## First-Run Setup
On first launch SubMiner creates a default config file automatically and opens a setup popup. You do **not** need to create the config manually — SubMiner handles it.
The setup popup walks you through:
- **Config file**: auto-created at `~/.config/SubMiner/config.jsonc` (Linux/macOS) or `%APPDATA%\SubMiner\config.jsonc` (Windows)
- **mpv plugin**: install the bundled Lua plugin for in-player keybindings
- **Yomitan dictionaries**: import at least one dictionary so lookups work
- **Windows shortcut** _(Windows only)_: optionally create a `SubMiner mpv` Start Menu/Desktop shortcut
The `Finish setup` button stays disabled until the plugin is installed and at least one dictionary is imported. Once you finish, SubMiner will not show the popup again.
