v4.2 — Rebuffer Continuity

Aniraku v4.2

Package: aniraku.anime.app · versionCode: 22

Rebuffer continuity correction

• Fixes a Watch-history resume path that could treat a routine synchronization refresh as a new startup resume request.
• A saved position can now apply only once at fresh source startup; a later Media3 ready-to-play event after buffering cannot move the playhead backward.
• Preserves the current forward buffer instead of fetching and decoding earlier media again, addressing the reported repeated-frame and unnecessary rebuffer sequence.
• Uses Android's efficient single-player surfaceView while retaining the 120-second time-priority reserve, 20-second recovery cushion, automatic byte allocator, and adaptive persistent cache.

Existing capabilities retained

• Anime Detail relationship labels and navigation, bounded Audio & Provider controls, provider parity, direct → proxy → verified embed recovery, AniSkip, fullscreen, downloads, list synchronization, and Android 9+ ARM32 + ARM64 support are retained.

v4.1.2 — Playback Continuity

Aniraku v4.1.2

Package: aniraku.anime.app · versionCode: 21

Playback continuity and adaptive caching

• Increased the native Media3 time-priority reserve from 50 to 120 seconds and the rebuffer resume cushion from 8 to 20 seconds.
• Retained automatic Media3 byte allocation without a hard application byte cap, avoiding an artificial low-memory cache ceiling.
• Added an Android pre-player persistent-cache policy that reserves 2 GiB of device free storage and sizes the cache from 256 MiB to 4 GiB according to available capacity.
• Preserved the no-corrective-seek rebuffer path so a recovery never deliberately seeks back to a previously decoded frame.

Existing capabilities retained

• Anime Detail relationship labels and navigation, bounded Audio & Provider controls, provider parity, direct → proxy → verified embed recovery, AniSkip, fullscreen, downloads, list synchronization, and Android 9+ ARM32 + ARM64 support are retained.

v4.1.1 — Anime Detail Stability Fix

Aniraku v4.1.1

Package: aniraku.anime.app · versionCode: 20

Critical Anime Detail stability fix

• Fixed the v4.1 error “Rendered more hooks than during the previous render” when Anime Detail changed from loading to a loaded title.
• Relationships now initializes on every screen render before loading and error branches, so the native Relations interface remains stable.
• Added a regression test that prevents the relation memo from being placed after an early render return.

Existing capabilities retained

• Anime Detail relationship labels and navigation, bounded Audio & Provider controls, provider parity, direct → proxy → verified embed recovery, AniSkip, fullscreen, downloads, list synchronization, and Android 9+ ARM32 + ARM64 support are retained.

v4.1 — Anime Detail Relationships

Aniraku v4.1

Package: aniraku.anime.app · versionCode: 19

Anime Detail relationships

• Anime Detail now shows a native Relationships section whenever AniList provides connected anime entries.
• Prequels, sequels, specials, OVAs, ONAs, movies, side stories, spin-offs, parent stories, adaptations, and other related anime use readable labels.
• Every related anime card opens the connected native Anime Detail route. Non-anime, adult, and duplicate relationship nodes are excluded.

Existing capabilities retained

• Bounded Audio & Provider controls, provider parity, direct → proxy → verified embed recovery, AniSkip, fullscreen, downloads, list synchronization, and Android 9+ ARM32 + ARM64 support are retained.

v4.0 — Bounded Sources and Smoother Watch

Aniraku v4.0

Package: aniraku.anime.app · versionCode: 18

Bounded sources and smoother large-title playback

• The compact AUDIO & PROVIDER control now opens a bounded sheet below the player instead of covering the player and Watch content.
• SUB and DUB controls remain fixed at the top of the sheet, while only dense provider choices scroll.
• One Piece and other high-episode titles avoid repeated episode-list work on player clock updates; episode rows are memoized and off-screen Android content is clipped.
• Native playback now targets a 50-second forward buffer and resumes after an 8-second media cushion, while retaining the no-corrective-seek rebuffer continuity policy.

Existing capabilities retained

• Direct → Aniraku proxy → verified embed playback recovery, in-player quality selection, AniSkip, fullscreen, downloads, AniList and MyAnimeList synchronization, and Android 9+ ARM32 + ARM64 support.
• Kiwi browser HLS recovery with Auto, 1080p, 720p, and 480p selection remains available on the main Aniraku website.

v3.5 — Watch Compatibility Upgrade

Aniraku v3.5

Package: aniraku.anime.app · versionCode: 17

Watch compatibility upgrade

• Anime Detail now renders a bounded 50-episode page at a time, with explicit Previous and Next navigation for large catalogs.
• The native Watch screen retains a compact AUDIO & PROVIDER rail after player controls minimize, so SUB and DUB remain reachable without reopening the controls.
• Dense provider lists remain inside a bounded source sheet rather than obscuring language selection.
• The main Aniraku website’s mobile Watch page now keeps episode ratings, navigation, and related outside-player actions within an overflow-safe page flow.

Existing capabilities retained

• Direct → Aniraku proxy → verified embed playback recovery, in-player quality selection, AniSkip, fullscreen, downloads, AniList and MyAnimeList synchronization, and Android 9+ ARM32 + ARM64 support.
• Kiwi browser HLS recovery with Auto, 1080p, 720p, and 480p selection remains available on the main Aniraku website.

v3.1 — Direct, Proxy, and Embed Eligibility

Aniraku v3.1

Package: aniraku.anime.app · versionCode: 16

Provider transport refinement

• Made every valid direct, proxy-verified, and verified embedded source explicitly eligible for provider selection instead of collapsing selection to only native or embedded categories
• Preserved source order: native direct media first, Aniraku proxy for proxy-verified media second, and verified embeds only when native routes are unavailable
• Proxy-verified HLS sources now begin through /api/v1/proxy, retain their native quality choices, and never get reclassified as embed-only media
• Kiwi remains visible as a verified embedded provider. Its current live 1080p, 720p, and 360p backend URLs are selectable through the embedded quality control without being forced through the native player

Existing Watch capabilities retained

• Complete v3.0 provider parity, AniSkip recovery, responsive high-episode paging/search/jump, and selected-episode information navigation
• Replay-safe native rebuffer recovery, six-second resume cushioning, 45-second forward target, Android direct-media caching, and direct → proxy → verified embed recovery
• Maximum-quality downloads for eligible HTTPS direct progressive sources, with an in-player Downloads glyph and clear streaming-only eligibility guard
• Native AniList and MyAnimeList browser linking, explicit library import/export, disconnect, and progress/rating synchronization through the existing Aniraku service
• Debounced search input, request coalescing, short-lived local cache, and Retry-After-aware 429 recovery

Included product capabilities

• Native direct-first recovery: direct source → Aniraku proxy → verified embed fallback
• In-player quality selector, language/provider controls, manual skip overlays, Auto Next, Auto Skip, speed, fullscreen, and 45-second forward preload
• Android 9+ (API 28+) · ARM32 + ARM64 · FOSS direct install, without Google Play

v3.0 — Complete Watch Upgrade

Aniraku v3.0

Watch upgrade

• Restored exact provider-list parity with aniraku.tech: every backend provider remains visible even when its usable source is resolved only after selection through /stream
• Repaired AniSkip resolution with metadata-first MAL-ID detection, bounded lookup timing, no-result caching, and real opening/ending interval normalization
• Rebuilt high-episode-count Watch navigation with bounded 50-episode pages, direct episode-number jump, search, page controls, and automatic current-episode positioning
• Added a dedicated selected-episode information route with available title, thumbnail, description, filler state, adjacent episode navigation, and a direct Watch action

Stable playback capabilities retained

• Replay-safe native rebuffer recovery, six-second resume cushioning, 45-second forward target, Android direct-media caching, and direct → proxy → verified embed recovery

v2.6 — Playback Stability and Provider Parity

Aniraku v2.6

Package: aniraku.anime.app · versionCode: 14

Stabilization fixes

• Restored native provider parity with the Aniraku website: a stale server-level verdict can no longer hide a provider that still has a current playable source
• Removed v2.5’s corrective rebuffer seek, which could re-present a decoded frame; playback now holds only a UI/history watermark during small native time rollbacks
• Raised the native resume buffer from two to six seconds while retaining the forty-five-second forward target and Android media caching for direct HLS, DASH, and progressive playback
• Reworked eligible public Downloads saves to stream directly into the Android system-picker folder, retry one revoked persisted folder grant, and preserve supported direct-media extensions
• Added a conservative embedded-player popup and known ad/tracker navigation guard without blocking provider/player routes or bypassing access controls

Existing v2.5 capabilities retained

• Maximum-quality downloads for eligible HTTPS direct progressive sources, with an in-player Downloads glyph and clear streaming-only eligibility guard
• Native AniList and MyAnimeList browser linking, explicit library import/export, disconnect, and progress/rating synchronization through the existing Aniraku service
• Debounced search input, request coalescing, short-lived local cache, and Retry-After-aware 429 recovery

Included product capabilities

• Native direct-first recovery: direct source → Aniraku proxy → verified embed fallback
• In-player quality selector, language/provider controls, manual skip overlays, Auto Next, Auto Skip, speed, fullscreen, and 45-second forward preload

v2.5 — Offline Downloads and List Sync

Aniraku v2.5

Package: aniraku.anime.app · versionCode: 13

What’s new

• Maximum-quality downloads for eligible HTTPS direct progressive sources, including while Auto playback is active
• A Download glyph inside player settings and a first-save Android picker for a user-approved public Downloads folder
• Clear streaming-only guard for HLS/DASH, embedded, protected, unavailable, and non-HTTPS sources
• Native AniList and MyAnimeList Settings cards with real provider marks, protected browser linking, status refresh, import, export, and disconnect actions
• Connected providers receive meaningful playback-progress and rating-summary updates through the established Aniraku sync service
• Provider credentials and OAuth tokens remain server-side; none are bundled into the APK

Search reliability retained from v2.2

• Debounced search input, request coalescing, short-lived local cache, and Retry-After-aware 429 recovery

Included product capabilities

• Native direct-first recovery: direct source → Aniraku proxy → verified embed fallback
