v0.2.5
A large reliability + experience pass: continuous play, offline parity, smarter
anime classification, a rebuilt calendar, downloads that don't eat your RAM, and
a long tail of UX fixes.
Highlights
- Continuous play (Up Next). Auto-continue into the next episode → your queue
→ a recommendation when caught up (cancelable countdown)./queueopens the Up
Next panel; reorder queued items (move up/down); save the queue as a playlist;
import/export. - Offline parity. Downloaded episodes now play through the same path as
online — full resume offer (not a forced seek), auto-skip, OSD, track
control, autoplay into the next downloaded episode, and history. - Smarter anime. Deterministic TMDB anime classifier (research-validated)
tags results as Anime; it is authoritative for the persisted content kind, so
an anime watched via a series provider is still classified as anime. Fix a wrong
label any time with/mark-anime·/mark-series. - Rebuilt calendar. Rolling ±7-day schedule (past week + upcoming), type tabs
(All/Anime/Series/Movies/Tracked), per-day navigation,/anime-calendarand
/series-calendarshortcuts, boxed day chips with a distinct today highlight,
and aligned columns that no longer shift on long titles. - Share a watch.
/sharecopies akunai1:…code for the current title;
/watchplays a code from your clipboard.
Features
- Up Next: auto-continue (episode → queue → recommendation), queue reorder,
/queuepanel, active-playback "up next" hint. - Offline: persistent-play pipeline, autoplay into next downloaded, partial-download
badges (↓ n/total), availability index, pause-on-quit + auto-resume on return. - Downloads: parallel N-worker pool (
maxConcurrentDownloads, default 3, 1–5). - Anime: TMDB classifier + "Anime" label,
/mark-anime//mark-seriesoverride,
Miruro server labels. - Calendar: 7-day past archive (+ prune),
/anime-calendar//series-calendar,
useCalendarStatehook. - OSD: resume prompt anchored top-right; dismiss (Esc / left-click) and resume
(Enter / middle-click). - Tracks:
/audio+/subtitlesdeep-links, favorite sources (auto-select prefers
them), two-pane tracks panel. - Settings: persist-on-change (no Ctrl+S), red destructive rows.
- CLI:
--help/--version.
Fixes
- Config: an explicit
vidkingprovider choice now persists (was reverted every
load). - Progress: episode progress and series progress are now separate — finishing
one episode no longer mislabels a whole series "Completed";unknownrelease
state → Continue, not falsely Completed. - Downloads: runaway RAM + orphaned
yt-dlpfixed (bounded fragment buffering,
SIGKILL children on exit, socket timeout). - Calendar: chronological day strip, no phantom "Nothing on schedule" days,
enter-at-today navigation, no layout shift on long titles, ±7-day clamp. - Classification: content-derived kind on the write path (drama-on-anime-provider
no longer labeled anime). - Presence: Discord shows a real progress bar only when duration is known.
- Library: offline episodes ordered by season/episode, not download time.
- Playback: failed-to-start stream no longer pauses autoplay; single-season
episode-list escape no longer loops. - AllManga: correct thumbnail CDN; ak-only fallback capped at 4s; next-episode
prefetch no longer voided by astartupPrioritymismatch.
Performance
- App-shell list passes combined; independent cleanup + recommendation profiling
parallelized; duplicate history fetch removed; O(n) offline-status grouping;
trimmed preview/calendar model work.
