SubtitleGenie 0.1.1

SubtitleGenie 🧞 0.1.1

📝 What changed in 0.1.1

Fixed

• Embedding no longer fails with "the process cannot access the file". On
  Windows a just-written large movie is briefly locked (antivirus/indexer), which
  made the final file swap fail and lose the whole embed. The swap now retries
  with backoff, and the error message points at the real cause if it still can't.

Added

• Built-in auto-sync that works in the standalone app. --sync now aligns
  subtitles using a built-in engine that needs only ffmpeg — it detects speech in
  the movie's audio and cross-correlates it with the subtitle to find and fix a
  constant offset. No pip install required, so it works in the .exe. If
  ffsubsync happens to be installed (or is bundled) it's used instead for the
  highest quality (fixes framerate drift too), otherwise the built-in engine
  handles the common case. (Optional: the release workflow can bundle ffsubsync
  via a manual build toggle.)

Changed

• --sync now re-times the subtitles you already have, in place — no
  downloading, no language picker, no embedding. The workflow is: get subs, and
  if they're off, run --sync (auto-align) or --sync-offset SECONDS (fixed
  shift). It offers to fetch ffmpeg if it's missing.
• Self-update deletes the old version. After the new build launches, the
  previous executable is removed automatically (it couldn't delete its own
  running file before), so old versions don't pile up next to it.
