v3.7.1

[3.7.1] - Latest

📥 Batch Episode Download

• Multi-select episodes — select episodes straight from the list and download a whole season in one action. Works for both extension-backed items (EpisodeCard) and TMDB/Nuvio shows (MovieSeasonsList).
• Select all (N) / This page — no more paging through a 300-episode show 20 episodes at a time.
• Parallel resolution — episodes resolve through a bounded 3-wide worker pool instead of one serial scraper round-trip each, so a 20-episode batch finishes several times faster.
• Skip already-downloaded — re-running a batch no longer re-downloads episodes you already have.
• Robust selection keys — selection is keyed by S<season>-E<episode> rather than the episode URL, which is empty for TMDB entries and previously made every episode collide on one key.
• Stable tracking IDs — stops episodes in a batch clobbering each other's download progress.

🎬 HLS Download & MKV Conversion

• Real MKV output — every download is remuxed from MP4 into a genuine .mkv by a new pure-Dart remuxer (no FFmpeg dependency). Samples are copied packet-for-packet, so there is no quality loss and A/V sync from the MP4 edit tables is preserved.
• HLS support — .m3u8 sources are now downloadable. Segments are fetched concurrently, AES-128 encrypted playlists are decrypted, MPEG-TS is demuxed to H.264/AAC, and the result is written as MKV.
• Live playlists rejected clearly — an on-demand-only error instead of hanging or saving a broken file.
• Conversion progress — the Downloads row shows a live percentage while converting.
• Conversion failures surfaced — the original file is always kept and the row reads "Kept as MP4 (MKV conversion failed)" instead of silently reporting success.
• Gentler on the device — conversions are queued (max 2 at a time), so a batch finishing together no longer spawns a burst of isolates.
• Faster path lookups — downloaded-file paths are cached instead of re-probing the filesystem on every rebuild.

🏠 Home Screen

• Regional shelves — 14 new movie & series rows, newest-first so new releases surface automatically: Latest, Hollywood, Bollywood, South Indian, Indonesian, Korean, Turkish, British, French, German, Russian, Chinese, Japanese and Arabic.
• Real industry filtering — shelves use TMDB origin-country filters, splitting Indian cinema correctly into Bollywood (Hindi) and South Indian (Telugu/Tamil/Malayalam/Kannada).
• Genuinely "latest" — the Latest shelf uses a rolling 90-day release window instead of sorting all-time by date, which had been surfacing unrated placeholder entries.
• Per-shelf vote floors — filter out empty entries so the rows stay worth scrolling.
• Progressive loading — shelves appear as each resolves instead of blocking the whole page.
• Single Continue Watching — removed the duplicate section that sat above the hero carousel.

📺 Details Screen

• "3 of 12 downloaded" badge — per-season download progress, read from the download folder in a single pass.
• Converted files preferred — an MKV is returned in place of the MP4 it replaced.

🎬 Nuvio Scraper Layer

• Nuvio-aware batch download — Nuvio is not a MixStreamProvider, so the batch path now resolves sources through the Nuvio scrapers using the TMDB id plus season/episode.
• Scraper sessions now survive to download — cookies collected while scraping are exported and attached to the stream, fixing downloads that failed with 403 while playback worked.
• Downloadable links are no longer hidden — the download-mode filter and the per-row download button now agree, so torrent rows (with debrid) and protocol-relative //host/file.mp4 links appear correctly.
• Extension-less links accepted — scraper links without a file extension are probed and accepted on their content type.
• Fewer repeat scraper runs — scraper code is cached in memory, so a batch reads each script once instead of once per episode.
• Reliability ranking — sources now sort by how often each scraper has actually delivered, with a small-sample prior so one lucky hit doesn't win.

🛠 Under the Hood

• Connectivity fix — connectivity_plus returns a list of results now; the offline card was comparing against a single value.
• untranslated-messages-file is configured in l10n.yaml so CI's translation-coverage gate has the report it expects.

🐛 Fixed

• Matroska TrackNumber was written as a variable-length integer instead of a plain integer, producing "Invalid track number" and no duration.
• Converted samples shared one reusable buffer, so every block in a file received the same bytes.
• Negative timestamps (from AAC priming edit lists) were never shifted, producing a bogus cluster timestamp of 235 ms and non-monotonic audio.
• MP4 Duration is a float, not an integer, so playback duration was reported as 0.

[3.7.0]

📺 Enhanced Details Screen

• Poster zoom overlay — double-tap any poster to zoom with a floating action menu (Play, Bookmark, Download) for quick access without leaving the screen.
• Scroll-driven hero stretch — the hero poster now stretches and compresses as you scroll, giving a cinematic parallax depth effect on desktop/TV.
• Error & empty states — replaced raw error text with friendly _DetailsErrorView (with retry button) and _DetailsEmptyView so the screen is never blank when data fails to load.
• Graceful provider fallback — when no registered extension matches an item, the original payload renders immediately and metadata resolution runs in the background instead of crashing.

🔄 Watched Progress Tracking

• WatchProgressRepository — per-episode progress tracking stored persistently, with markWatched, markUnwatched, and savePosition methods.
• EpisodeWatchedActionSheet — bottom sheet to mark individual episodes watched/unwatched with reset progress option.
• SeasonWatchedActionSheet — bottom sheet to mark all episodes in a season watched/unwatched, with progress count shown.
• EpisodeWatchRepository — extended to support explicit watched overrides with automatic detection based on playback position (90% threshold).

📡 Connectivity & Offline

• NetworkOfflineCard — persistent connectivity indicator banner shown at the top of the details screen on both mobile and desktop. Auto-updates in real-time via Connectivity().onConnectivityChanged.

🏠 Enhanced Home Screen

• Continue Watching Hero Slot — hero-sized continue-watching carousel at the top of the home screen so you can pick up where you left off instantly without scrolling.
• ContinueWatchingHeroViewportReserve — dedicated layout spacer ensuring smooth scrolling without content overlap.

🎬 Nuvio Integration

• Improved Nuvio plugin metadata handling and plugin sources sheet.
• Debrid integration wired into Nuvio sources for premium link resolution.

🛠 Under the Hood

• Disabled Impeller rendering backend on Android (fell back to Skia) to fix device-specific rendering regressions.
• Splash pacing rebalanced for a calmer, more cinematic feel.

---

🎬 Cinematic 7-Stage Splash

• Brand-new intro sequence: the screen opens on pure black, an ambient green glow blooms from the center, and real genre posters (Horror, Thriller, Action, Sci-Fi, Anime, Drama, Comedy, Documentary) fade and scale in from every direction with subtle rotation.
• The posters drift toward the center, collapse into the MixStream logo (mixstream.png), which then cross-fades into the full wordmark, followed by a light sweep across the logo and a hold on the "Unlimited Movies & Shows" tagline.
• The splash now fades to black at the end so it hands off seamlessly into the dark app — no white flash, no jank.

🌑 Dark-Only Mode

• The app is now dark mode only. The system/light theme options have been removed; ThemeMode.dark is forced app-wide so the experience is consistent everywhere.
• The native Android splash and the Flutter splash both use the same deep-dark surface for a continuous, unified look.

🟢 Wordmark Branding

• The home screen AppBar now displays the MixStream wordmark logo (PNG) instead of the plain "MixStream" text.
• The branding is consistent across the splash (logo formation) and the home screen.

🛠 Under the Hood

• Disabled the Impeller rendering backend on Android (fell back to Skia) to fix device-specific rendering regressions (opacity-on-image crashes, blur hangs, full-screen opacity washout).
• Splash pacing rebalanced for a calmer, more cinematic feel (poster emergence and logo hold given more breathing room).

[3.6.6] - Latest

✨ New Features

• Layout Fix – Dot indicators repositioned fully below the action buttons with a clear gap; title raised so the action row no longer overlaps the dots.

🏠 Home / Explore

• Section Accent Bars – Every section title now shows a slim 4px gradient accent bar (primary → tertiary → secondary).

🧩 Icons

• Icon System Audit – All 143 used icons now resolve to real bundled assets (4500+ SVGs). Fixed mappings for bookmark-border/bookmark-outline → bookmark-02, delete-sweep → delete-01, queue → check-list, and swap-horiz → exchange-01; removed duplicate override keys.
