The network-mount skip made SMB/NFS libraries fall back to live mpv text for
any release shipping subtitles only inside the container, losing karaoke
reconstruction, sidebar cues, and mining. The starvation it guarded against
had a different cause, and measured extraction runs at wire speed (~10s/GB
on gigabit) once per episode. Skip extraction only for true remote URLs,
which have no on-disk container to demux, and raise the extraction timeout
to cover large Bluray remuxes read over the network.
When embedded-track extraction is skipped (network-mounted media), live mpv
text during per-glyph typeset karaoke is a wall of simultaneous one-glyph
lines plus the syllable being typed. No parsed cues exist to substitute, so
the wall reached both overlays and recording verbatim. Detect bursts of many
single-glyph lines in the live fallback paths and drop them with their short
syllable companions, keeping concurrent dialogue lines.
- Only classify tall positioned ASS blocks as fragment grids when they read like tiling (sign walls, re-shown countdown frames, scattered single glyphs, or table columns), keeping CC-style dialogue blocks and wrapped lyric rows publishable
- Widen Latin word-gap heuristics for per-glyph typesetting runs and short capitalized words so proportional-font variation and two-letter words no longer get split
- Add changelog fragment documenting the stats database busy-timeout fix
- Recover Latin/romaji word spaces encoded only by positioned `\pos`/`\move` fragment gaps in ASS karaoke
- Drop malformed ASS rotation-reset spacer lines and skip zero-duration metadata events
- Dedupe duplicate lines across multiline primary/secondary cues, including full-width variants
- Treat dense fragment-grid sign layouts as visual typesetting, not publishable text, during primary subtitle resolution
- Reconstruct fragment-only karaoke while preserving canonical animated signs
- Reprocess live subtitles after initial playback and seek updates
- Add a development launcher for playable media files
