- add activateMacOSApp to steal app focus before window.focus(), since show()/focus() only reorder windows within an already-active app
- wire activateApp through config-settings-window/runtime into the settings, sync, and anime browser window handlers
- restore the anime browser's Dock icon before showing the window instead of after, since an accessory process cannot become frontmost
- Episode rows gain Play/Queue actions (and matching context-menu items); queued rows show their place in line, with a queue count and Clear queue in the episode header
- Queue lives in the main process (`anime-browser-queue.ts`) so it survives the browser window closing and advances on mpv's end-file even when nobody is watching; streams resolve at play time so a signed URL cannot expire while queued
- Holds mpv's keep-open off while the queue waits and restores it once empty; queueing with nothing playing just plays immediately
- Adds anime-browser-queue and episode-queue unit tests, IPC channels/contracts, and doc updates
- Sync a subtitle dropped onto mpv without hitting "Protocol file: not supported"; decode file:// external-filename/path back to a real path for target, reference, and video
- Stream strip proxy: destroy the connection instead of retrying/502 once a response is handed off, and cap buffered playlist bodies
- Bridge installer: cap downloaded bundle size to guard against a lying/missing content-length
- Anime browser playback: bump generation on dispose so a stale in-flight playEpisode cleans up its own subtitle cache
- Fix a flaky sidecar-process test by binding to an OS-assigned port instead of pre-allocating one
- Add extension-icons module (buildIconIndex, isSafeIconUrl, repoFaviconUrl, iconMonogram) with tests
- Render each row's icon with a monogram fallback while loading or missing
- Installed extensions borrow their icon from the catalogue; repo rows use the index host's favicon
- Restrict icon loads to https URLs
- Thread iconUrl through AvailableExtension and the runtime, document the feature
- Add a filter box above the episode list for a number, range, or name substring, with a "N of M" counter
- Read watch marks from the immersion tracker stats and show them per episode, with a watched count in the header, refreshed on window focus
- Add a right-click menu to mark one episode or a whole catch-up span (this and everything below) watched/unwatched
- Add setWatched/getWatchState IPC plumbing so a manual mark creates the stats row for an episode that was never played
- Extend the generation guard from subtitleCacheDir to the whole
playback: a stale playEpisode call now bails out before sending mpv
commands, showing the overlay, or reading a playback outcome that
belongs to a newer episode
- Add a regression test where a slow-resolving first call must not
drive mpv after a second call for a newer episode has already
started playing
- Tag subtitle cache writes with a generation counter so overlapping playEpisode calls can't clobber the shared cache dir, and don't fail playback when track setup errors
- Ignore stale episode clicks in the detail panel via a LatestRequest guard on playback
- Extract a resetGrid helper in animeui to dedupe grid-clearing logic
- Assert reader cancellation and extracted-file writes actually happen in installer/subsync tests
- Preference store keys entries by extension package + bridge source id; legacy unscoped entries are discarded once instead of being handed to whichever extension asks first
- Source picker's "Load more" appends the next page without duplicating streamed results
- Repository index fetches and subtitle/APK downloads now time out and are size-bounded instead of hanging or growing unbounded
- APK installs are staged to a temp file and renamed into place
- Stream metadata lookup matches the requested path, not only the currently playing one
- Reworked animeui into browse-state/detail-panel/panels.css modules
- Reverted premature CHANGELOG unreleased entries; refreshed anime-browser docs
- Split anime browser stream titles into series/season/episode fields (episode-metadata.ts) instead of one joined string, so stats grouping, the mpv title, and the Jimaku/TsukiHime modals all get real values instead of a filename-derived "m3u8"
- Fix AniList season resolver to walk through split-cour sequels and specials without counting them as a season, and to surface rate-limit/network failures instead of falling through to a wrong air-order guess
- Add a Season field to the TsukiHime modal and include later seasons in its search query
- Rewrite WebVTT subtitle tracks as SRT before handing them to alass, since alass has no VTT support and streams serve VTT
- Update CHANGELOG and troubleshooting docs
- 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
- Download a stream's subtitle tracks to a temp dir and load them into mpv as files instead of streaming from the source URL, so Subsync can use them as the alass reference (mirrors the Jellyfin subtitle preload)
- Detect format from content first, falling back to the URL extension
- A track that fails to download falls back to its URL so the episode still plays
- Remove the temp dir when the next episode loads or the runtime disposes
The reported 'APK crash' turned out not to exist: repeated full scans of
all installed extensions load cleanly. The real incident was the app's
quit sequence stopping the bridge (its /stop endpoint) while requests
were in flight - and it exposed that a bridge dying for any reason left
the anime browser failing every call with a raw 'fetch failed' until
the whole app was restarted.
SidecarHandle now reports the child's exit (including to late
subscribers), and the runtime detects a death it did not order: it
drops the dead handle, closes the strip proxy, tells the UI, and the
next request transparently starts a fresh bridge. requireBridge became
an async bridge() that starts on demand, which also covers first use.
Verified live: search -> SIGKILL the JVM -> search recovers.
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.
- Add PINNED_BUNDLE_SHA256 entry for linux-x64-bundle.zip so Linux no longer refuses to start with "No pinned checksum"
- Fetch the bridge release by its pinned tag (releases/tags/<tag>) instead of listing newest releases, so an upstream publish can't swap in an unverified asset
- Update docs and changelog to describe the pin/tag behavior
Addresses CodeRabbit review feedback on the Anime Browser:
- reject repository package/apk names that are not plain identifiers, and
verify the install target resolves inside the extensions directory
- count mpv's %n% option escape in UTF-8 bytes, and escape backslashes in
header values so a trailing one cannot eat the list separator
- key the bridge extension-id cache by APK content, so an in-place upgrade
re-uploads instead of running the previous build
- bound every bridge, release-listing, and download request with a timeout
- enforce the APK size limit while streaming rather than after buffering
- read APK bytes on demand instead of holding a base64 copy per extension
for the lifetime of the browser
- serialize preference mutations and write the file atomically
- handle the sidecar spawn error event, and wait for the child to exit in
stop() before returning
- report a failed Anime Browser bootstrap instead of showing the starting
banner forever
- keep the preferences panel's save confirmation and in-flight multi-select
edits by re-rendering only on a structural schema change
- Add `subminer anime` / `--anime` and a tray entry to open a browser that searches installed Aniyomi extension sources, shows cover art and episodes, and plays into mpv with overlay/mining attached
- Add an Extensions tab to add repos and install/update/remove sources, and per-source settings for sources needing config
- Support searching all sources at once with streaming, per-source results and status
- Prefer Japanese audio/subtitle tracks from the source and keep the primary subtitle slot reserved for Japanese
- Fix window/tray/Dock handling so the browser and mpv can be switched between without quitting the app or losing the Dock icon
- Add anime.repos, anime.extensionsDir, anime.preferredQuality config keys (no bundled repos or discovery)
- Add overlayBody override to ConfiguredStatusNotificationOptions so overlay/OSD/desktop can diverge
- Extract getSubsyncStatusNotificationOptions() to strip the ASCII spinner frame from the overlay card (OSD keeps it since it renders the raw spinner)
- Add tests for spinner stripping and subsync result notifications
- Autoplay-ready gate now ignores untokenized subtitle payloads while tokenization warmup is pending, so playback doesn't resume before the first tokenized cue
- Wire isTokenizationReady dep through main.ts and update gate/wiring tests accordingly
- Drop stale release/release-notes.md, add changelog entry under changes/
- Add allowReadingOnlyMatch:false to kanji token known-word lookups so 渓谷/けいこく no longer matches a mined 警告/けいこく card via reading-only index
- Greedy name pre-pass yields when a strictly longer generic word starts at the same position (空 no longer splits 空気; ties still go to the name)
