1.17.0

Changed

• Launching the app while it's already open brings its window forward instead of starting a second copy inside it; opening a file still starts its own player.
• The command line rejects extra or unreadable arguments, and --help names the right settings folder on every OS.
• Auto-download and "Download Series" skip episodes that aren't available yet.
• A download folder typed in Preferences accepts ~ and rejects relative paths.
• The updater checks the download's checksum, and puts everything back if an update fails partway.

Fixed

• Access tokens no longer appear in log files.
• Leaving the player or skipping ahead while a title is still loading no longer leaves it playing in the background or closes the wrong page.
• Changing quality no longer jumps back 5 seconds.
• Downloaded HDR titles start with SVP off, like streamed ones, and downloads show the server's track names.
• The end of a video reports the exact final position, so short videos get marked watched.
• Music keeps playing when the next track isn't ready in time, and skips a track that fails to play.
• Linux: notifications come back when the window is closed during a video.
• Do-not-disturb no longer slows every video start when no supported notification service is found.
• Downloads can be paused or cancelled on a stalled connection, and a dead connection fails instead of hanging.
• A paused download continues even if the title was renamed on the server, and one that had already finished completes instead of failing.
• Two downloads with the same title no longer overwrite each other.
• Downloads are no longer lost from the queue, or carried over to another account, after signing out.
• Download progress keeps updating after coming back from the player.
• Queueing a long series no longer freezes the app.
• Settings, sign-in, the download queue and auto-download survive a crash or power loss while saving.
• Download file names are valid on Windows (reserved names like CON, trailing dots).
• Lower CPU and battery use while a library grid is open.
• The "In Progress" filter shows an error instead of an empty list when loading fails.
• Image memory is capped by size, so browsing many titles no longer uses gigabytes; often-seen artwork stays in the disk cache.
• A damaged seek-preview file can no longer crash the app.
• Unplugging a controller while holding a direction no longer keeps scrolling, and the legend stays while another controller is connected.
• Controller remapping: two prompts no longer cancel each other, and closing Preferences cancels a pending one.
• The updater's Restart reliably starts the new version.
• Windows: no console window flashes when playing trailers or updating, and closing the app no longer waits 2 seconds for SVP Manager.
