- 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/
Background AppImage launches executed directly from a FUSE mount owned by a
short-lived helper's AppImage runtime. On quit, the runtime unmounted the
squashfs while utility children (network service) were still mid-shutdown,
SIGBUSing them and triggering KDE Service Crash notifications on every video
close. Detach a POSIX-sh supervisor instead: mount via --appimage-mount, run
AppRun from the mount, and release the holder only once no process still
executes from the mount. Falls back to the old direct launch on any failure
or with SUBMINER_NO_APPIMAGE_MOUNT_KEEPALIVE=1.
- 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)
