Highlights

Added

• Pre-Mining Timing Review:
  • Optional review step before creating word, sentence, or audio cards, with a speech-focused waveform that filters out steady background noise so dialogue is easy to spot.
  • The clip end automatically snaps back to where dialogue actually ends, since subtitles often linger after speech stops.
  • Drag or use the keyboard to adjust clip boundaries, and preview audio with a sweeping playhead that plays to the true end even on high-latency outputs like Bluetooth headphones.
  • Pull extra previous or next subtitle lines onto the card with P/N (or the Prev/Next steppers); a live preview shows exactly what the card will contain.
  • You can cancel and still keep the card without media, and the review can be toggled on or off for the session.
• Senren Note Type Support:
  • Enable ankiConnect.isSenren to merge duplicate mined cards using Senren's scene-switching markup, combining sentence, furigana, audio, picture, and misc-info fields.
  • Supports the same auto/manual/disabled grouping modes as Kiku, including the manual merge modal. Senren and Kiku are mutually exclusive, so only one can be enabled at a time.

Changed

• Remote Streaming Mining: Mining a card from a remote stream (Jellyfin and other HTTP sources) now downloads the clip window once and reuses it for the timing review waveform, audio preview, audio extraction, and screenshot, instead of re-fetching the stream for every step. No action needed; the temporary download is cleaned up automatically after ten minutes of inactivity.
• TsukiHime Release Picker: The Japanese and secondary-language tabs now filter releases down to ones that actually carry subtitles for that language, and tell you when none do.

Fixed

• Broadcast Caption Accuracy:
  • Japanese caption tracks split across two positioned lines (e.g. Crunchyroll) now merge into one, so mined sentences, the sidebar, and line-break settings treat them as a single line; lines from different speakers or sound effects still stay separate.
  • Mining from the overlay no longer picks up a leftover line from the previous caption, so the mined sentence and clip timing match what's actually on screen.
  • Copying or mining subtitles no longer includes the separate furigana line that some broadcast subtitle files place above kanji.
• Multi-line Copy After Seeking: Selecting multiple subtitle lines to copy or mine now selects backward in timeline order after a seek, rather than in playback encounter order.
• Overlay Stability:
  • On Hyprland, opening a modal (timing review, Jimaku, session help, and others) over fullscreen mpv no longer makes the overlay flicker while the modal loads.
  • Switching secondary subtitle tracks no longer causes mpv's native secondary subtitles to flash on screen.
• Anki Update Notifications: Switching notification settings to on-screen display while a card update is still in progress now correctly dismisses the old overlay progress indicator.
• Jellyfin Subtitles: Subtitle files now load with zero delay in mpv instead of Jellyfin inferring and applying a sync offset.
