Kinrox 0.2.0

Choose audio and subtitle tracks directly on your Mac, including external files
stored in nested folders. Requires an Apple Silicon Mac with macOS 14 Sonoma
or later
. Version 0.2.0, build 4.

Download Kinrox-0.2.0-arm64.dmg, open it, and drag Kinrox to Applications.
The app is Developer ID signed and notarized by Apple. All playback libraries
are bundled; Homebrew and Xcode are not required.

New

  • Audio and subtitle selectors in the controls bar and native menus, with language,
    title, codec, and channel details. Subtitles can be turned Off.
  • Recursive discovery of external audio and subtitle files, with a searchable
    browser, manual loading, and a configurable search folder.
  • Per-folder preferences that restore the selected language or release group
    when moving to the next episode. Subtitle Off is remembered as well.
  • Control-Command-A and Control-Command-S shortcuts to cycle tracks.
  • Translated track controls in all 30 supported interface languages.

Reliability

  • Track preferences retain bracketed studio/type labels and handle explicit
    episode numbers in metadata without confusing numbered studios or channel layouts.
  • Refreshing or changing the search folder retries unavailable preferences while
    preserving successful and manual choices.
  • Enabling remembering saves the user's previously confirmed selection.
  • Symlink paths resolve consistently for preferences and external track details.
  • Track file dialogs close when playback changes to another video; file choosers
    cannot overlap. Folder filters recover when a scanned folder disappears.

Track selection is currently a Mac feature. The iPhone remote protocol is unchanged;
this release does not publish a new iPhone app. Network streams, playback-position
memory, Intel Macs, and automatic updates remain outside this release.

Validation: 89 Mac tests against the bundled library versions, 118 protocol/transport
tests, 48 iPhone simulator tests, and 13 packaging/workflow tests passed.
The final DMG passed mounted-app signature, Gatekeeper, startup, playback,
track-selection, and local remote-control checks. See the
verification report.

Runtime verification was performed on macOS 26.5.2. macOS 14 is the deployment
target and was not tested on a separate Mac during this release.

Kinrox-0.2.0-dependency-sources.tar.gz contains corresponding dependency sources,
