- watchPlaybackOutcome now tracks a real deadline so slow property reads eat the timeout budget instead of extending it, and a zero probe interval still terminates
- stream strip proxy aborts upstream GETs that go silent for 15s instead of hanging mpv on that segment forever
- anime browser runtime drops a stream proxy that finishes starting after its bridge already died, instead of leaking a listener pointed at nothing
ffmpeg opens every HLS segment with 'Range: bytes=0-'. The bridge
answers some of those 206 (depending on its cache state), and the proxy
only rewrites full 200 bodies, so the PNG disguise passed through
untouched and whether an episode played was a coin flip: first attempts
died with "no audio or video data played", the same URL played fine
once the bridge had the segments cached.
Reproduced end to end against a private bridge + mpv driven with the
app's exact commands; with Range dropped every segment is stripped and
playback runs.
Right after an episode resolves, the bridge (or the host behind it) can
error on the very first segment fetches and be fine a moment later; mpv
sweeps the playlist of failing segments in ~2s and gives up with "no
audio or video data played" while a manual reload of the same URL plays.
Retry a failed GET once after 400ms and log upstream error statuses so
the next failure names the real cause in the app log.
Some hosts prepend a fake image header (a real 1x1 PNG) to every HLS
segment; ffmpeg probes the segment as a picture and mpv drops back to
idle with no window while the browser claims the episode is playing.
- Route bridge-served m3u8 streams through a local strip proxy that
scans each segment for the first genuine MPEG-TS packet run and drops
the junk in front of it; playlists get absolute origins rewritten so
segment requests come back through the proxy. Non-TS bodies pass
through untouched.
- Only report ok from playEpisode once mpv configures a video output;
an end-file with reason error surfaces mpv's own message (e.g. "no
audio or video data played") in the browser status bar instead of
"Playing". New end-file event plumbed through the mpv IPC client.
