MiniFin 1.0.4

Changed

• Empty libraries and seasons say that videos added in Jellyfin show up there.
• A download with a missing part says to delete it and download it again.
• "Can't play" says to restart MiniFin when the local relay won't open.
• Grey and red small text is easier to read (MiniDeck 1.0.3).

MiniFin 1.0.3

Fixed

• A video from a slow server no longer stops with "the video decoder stopped working" after a few seconds. When the server can't keep up, the hardware decoder can stop handing out pictures while it still has some; minifin-player now restarts it at the next keyframe, as a seek does, so the picture freezes for about 5 s and goes on. It gives up only when three restarts in a row bring nothing. Why the decoder stalls on such a stream is not yet known.

MiniFin 1.0.2

Fixed

• minifin-player no longer crashes as a video starts. Onion's audio library (libpadsp) jumps to a null pointer when its first call opens /dev/dsp, which is always the case when it is loaded with dlopen() rather than preloaded; the player now opens /dev/null through it first. Before this, every video fell back to ffplay, or went back to its page when the crash came after playback had started.
• A long audio or subtitle track name on a video's page is cut with an ellipsis instead of running over the row's label and out of the menu (MiniDeck 1.0.2).

Changed

• minifin-player writes the crash address to its log on a crash.
• The README screenshots are from a real device and server.

MiniFin 1.0.1

Fixed

• A poster whose header claims an enormous size is refused on the device too. The size check multiplied in 32 bits there and could wrap to a small number, letting a bad server's picture use up the memory.

MiniFin 1.0.0

Added

• The first version. Finding servers on the Wi-Fi (Jellyfin's discovery broadcast) and on the tailnet, sign-in with Quick Connect or a password, and the token sealed with the device key.
• Home with Continue Watching, Next Up, Recently Added and the libraries; poster grids that fetch only the pages near the selection, with sort, a filter for unwatched videos and letter jumps; seasons and episodes; search; a page for each video with its audio and subtitle tracks.
• Playback in minifin-player (GPL-2.0-or-later, in player/, shipped in the zip) through a relay on the device, with Onion's ffplay when minifin-player is missing or can't start. The server transcodes to H.264 at up to 640x480 and AAC stereo, at 0.6, 1.2 or 2 Mbit/s. Seeking in minifin-player starts a new transcode at that point and stops the old one on the server. Start, progress, seeks and stop are reported to the server.
• Buttons in minifin-player: pause, skips of 10 s and a minute, volume, subtitles on and off, the audio track (X) and subtitle track (SELECT) without leaving the video, and the next or previous episode (R2 / L2, pressed twice).
• The next episode plays after a 10-second countdown when one ends, online or from the downloads.
• Downloads for offline viewing, with a free-space check, going on from the last keyframe after an interruption, and an offline view of them when the server can't be reached.
• Settings for the server and account, streaming quality, the subtitle default, the downloads folder, the player and Appearance.
