Anix 1.2.0

Languages & Audio Preferences

• Choose your subtitle and dub languages in order of preference (Settings › Sources). Automatically prioritizes providers in those languages.

Local Media & Library Linking

• "Load your own episodes" on an anime's page links a folder or local files to that title. Linked episodes show "Local", play in the built-in player with resume, skip times, and AniList/MAL sync, and automatically detect companion subtitle files.
• Library › Local files recognizes release filenames, groups them into series, matches them to AniList metadata with posters, and links them in one click.

Video Player
