v1.7.1: See when a film finishes, improved search feature, local subtitle offsetting, and a bunch of bug fixes.
🎉 New features
See when your film or episode will finish.
The player now shows "Finishes at 22:45" next to play/pause, and it keeps sliding forward while you are paused, so the number is right when you come back. Turn it off in Settings, Preferences, Playback.
Search finds original titles, actors, and directors, and forgives typos.
Searching "Gisaengchung" now finds Parasite, searching a director or an actor finds their films, and a mistyped title still returns the right result instead of an empty screen.
Jump straight from an episode to its show.
Episodes opened from Recently Added now have a "Go to show" button on their details screen, so you can get to the rest of the series in one press.
Shift your own subtitle files into sync.
Subtitle timing offset now works for subtitle files that sit alongside your video (.srt, .vtt and .ass), not just for subtitles downloaded in the app.
✨ Improvements
Messages now look like part of Cinaura.
Confirmations and warnings appear as a themed banner in the bottom-right corner that stacks and clears itself, instead of the grey Android message pill.
Recently Added follows when the file appeared on your source.
Rather than when Cinaura first saw it, so restoring a backup or adding several sources at once no longer shuffles the row into near-random order.
Network share setup says what went wrong.
Adding a network share now shows the username and password fields whenever a connection fails, with the reason next to the fields, instead of sitting on "Connecting..." or dead-ending with no way forward.
Consistent confirmation dialogs.
Every confirm prompt now uses the same design, so Cancel is always visible and the confirm button names the action, and the Options panel stays put behind the prompt instead of vanishing.
Tidier player controls.
The play/pause button now lines up with the Chapters, Audio, Subtitles and Aspect buttons beside it.
🐛 Bug fixes
Your library no longer greys out when the network drops.
Losing Wi-Fi mid-sync used to mark every source as failed with no way back. Now Cinaura recognises there is no connection, leaves your library alone, and reconnects your sources automatically when the network returns.
Fixed a crash when opening the app with no internet.
Launching offline could close the app immediately on some devices.
Windows and NAS system folders no longer break scans.
Folders like "System Volume Information" and "$RECYCLE.BIN" were being scanned, which left a permanent "Folder error" on some drives or brought back films you had deleted on your PC. They are now skipped.
Playback recovers instead of stopping with an error.
Some TV boxes reported a playback error when returning to the player or partway into a film. Cinaura now recovers from it, errors during the exit back to the library are no longer shown at all, and the message you do see drops the raw error code.
The next episode no longer judders on auto play.
Auto play next kept the correct refresh rate, so the next episode starts smooth instead of needing an exit and re-entry to fix it.
Files with a "+" in the name play again.
Names like "DD+2.0" on network shares were stored with a space instead of the "+", so those files showed as unrecognized and refused to play.
Cards on the Android TV home screen open the right title.
On a device with more than one profile, tapping a Cinaura card sent you to Home after picking a profile instead of the title you tapped.
Fixing a whole show's details merges episodes instead of duplicating them.
Assigning a badly-named pack to a show you already have now merges the episodes into the existing seasons, rather than listing every episode twice.
Merging duplicates keeps your watched progress.
Watched marks, resume positions and favourites are now carried over to the copy that survives a merge, instead of being lost with the duplicate.
Fixed a crash when saving progress for a title that had just been removed.
Stopping playback of an item that background sync had already deleted could close the app.
