Release Laev v0.1.38 · alexdont/laev

VLC as an option, more sources, and shelf counts that agree between machines.

The shelf counts disagreed between devices

The Watchlist count is built from more than marks: which anime you put on hold lives in anime.json, how many seasons have aired lives in seasons.json. Neither travelled, so a device without them counted everything as behind — the same account read 27 on one machine and 69 on another.
Both travel now, as caches rather than as decisions: un-pinning a title is something you did and propagates; not having a cache file is something you simply haven't done, and must never erase it for everyone else.
On another device: update, then laev sync — the counts will agree.

LAEV_PLAYER=vlc, or Settings → player & files → Player. mpv stays the default and the better fit; VLC plays the same streams.
laev follows VLC through its web interface (localhost, random password) on the same five-second cadence mpv's script uses, writing the same files by the same rules — so resume, Up Next, watched ticks, stats, the heatmap and MyAnimeList scrobbling all carry on working.
Not carried over: intro skipping, the stinger prompt, and per-show track memory — all mpv scripts. The setting says so when you switch.
Linux: install VLC's codecs too. The player's own package is a shell; without libavcodec it opens a window and refuses the file, which is most debrid releases. Arch vlc-plugin-ffmpeg, Debian vlc-plugin-video-codec-ffmpeg. laev doctor checks for it.

Torrentio was asked only through the debrid token, which answers with what that debrid can serve now. Asked plainly it answers with everything, including torrents nobody has cached — which laev plays fine. Both are asked and merged: eleven against eight for every episode of a season.
That one request had one retry, and Torrentio throttles when asked for a season in a row — which left a show with no sources at all. Three tries now: a sweep that used to fail on eleven of thirty-six episodes returns sources for all of them.
Releases that name a show in several languages — Супертюрьма! / Тюряга / Superjail! / Сезон: 1 — were thrown away for having the title second. Each segment is read on its own now, and must still match exactly, so "The Runner" still can't answer to "Runner".

The post-play menu offers the list itself beside next-up: pick another rather than the one that happens to come next. It opens on the first thing you haven't watched.
A film that isn't out yet is never handed over as next-up (TMDB's collections carry the announced ones).
A filmography is not a franchise: the Animation list no longer drives next-up, so Toy Story 2 leads to Toy Story 3 again rather than to Fantasia 2000.

Nothing but laev writes to your terminal. A background TLS error — a laptop sleeping — used to be printed over the screen, and on a long Mac session the formatter needed modules that were no longer loadable, crashed, logged the crash, and crashed again, thousands of times. Errors go to ~/.laev/laev.log now.
A lapsed debrid plan says so instead of failing every source in silence. Checked once a day, and again when the date turns, because a session can outlive a subscription.
