Each new episode folder started a prune without waiting. Two running side by side picked the same oldest folders; the second delete threw, and the catch around the whole loop gave up on the rest, leaving 25 of 24. That was the flaky preview_grid_test that turned master's CI red. Prunes are chained now, and each delete is guarded on its own.
On macOS, Windows and Linux the player can now dock into a small floating box in a corner of the app window. It keeps playing while the viewer moves around Home, Search, a detail page or anything else, because it lives in a layer above the Navigator (PlayerDockHost, in MaterialApp.router's builder). Nothing is handed over or restarted. /player now builds PlayerRoute, which gives PlayerPage a GlobalKey. Docking pops the route, and the same State moves into the host in the same frame. Expanding pushes /player again, and the route takes the key back. History ticks, auto-advance, subtitles, party sync and retries carry on as before, and closing the corner player disposes the page normally. - The corner box can be dragged, and on release it snaps to the nearest corner, taking the fling into account. Its inner edges resize it, between 240 px and 60% of the window. The corner and width are saved. - Hover controls: close, back to the full player, the title, previous and next episode, play/pause, 10-second steps when there is room, the time, and a timeline that seeks on click or drag. - I or the PiP button docks the player. Shift+I or a long press keeps the old whole-window always-on-top mini, which is still the only way to watch over other apps. - While docked, the keyboard stays with the page underneath. Clicking the corner player takes the keyboard. Esc or a click elsewhere gives it back without closing the video. I expands. - Opening another title closes the docked one first. Signing out, switching profile and onboarding close it too. - Fix: in the always-on-top mini window, regaining focus cleared _isPip and drew the full control bar into the 426-px window. Mobile and TV are unchanged. PlayerDock.supported is desktop-only, and the phone PiP paths are untouched.
'The source sent a web page instead of the video' failed whole episodes on vidapi and anikoto. Their CDNs serve real MPEG-TS segments as page-N.html / seg-N.html with Content-Type text/html; the player never reads that header and plays them, but both download engines refused them by it. - Kotlin and Dart engines read the first bytes and refuse only markup (<!doctype html, <html, <head, …); TS, fMP4, MKV, QuickTime and encrypted segments pass. A real web page fails once, without retries. - classify() no longer calls a network error 'web page' because a segment URL ends in .html. - A direct download is probed at tap time and refused there when it is a web page; a probe with no answer never blocks. - Mirrors under a WebView directive are sniffed instead of being taken as direct, and a locally proxied stream offers its upstream URL.
- libmpv reconnects a dropped HTTP/HLS stream itself, and a drop is only fatal once playback actually stops; then the player retries at the same position a few times before saying anything. 'Connection reset by peer' after two minutes no longer ends the episode. - Every server gets a start deadline (longer for torrents and WebView sniffing). Past it the player moves to the next server with a short notice, and when none plays it says so instead of 'Video loading…' forever. ExoPlayer's initialize() is bounded too. - Library error sentences are mapped to localized messages. - A labelled or remembered quality is pinned on ExoPlayer instead of ABR starting at the lowest rung, and Auto no longer claims the size it started at. - media_kit: the picture is forced to redraw once the texture exists, so a stream no longer stays black until the first seek.
MovieBox overrides only the paged search, and our host called the plain one, which CloudStream leaves as NotImplementedError. The host now falls back to the paged search (and the other way round).
… and the corner player; Continue Watching keeps up while docked
The tap-time probe failed the whole episode when the default mirror served a web page, even with a working mirror the choice sheet would have offered. Now only when every mirror does; otherwise the pages are dropped from the choice. The film page shows the web-page message instead of "play it first", and a stream played through the media-segment relay offers its upstream url for download rather than the 127.0.0.1 address that dies with the player.
…t once An end of file is judged before playhead movement: the cache carries the playhead past the drop, so a file the connection ended early always looked recovered and stopped silently mid-episode. The last tcp error is kept for that judgement. A live stream is no longer held through the 25 s grace once playing, and an end of a stream without length after a drop is fatal, so it reconnects. Torrents opened from torrent search get the torrent start budget.
Restoring, closing or opening another title while the left /player route was still animating out rebuilt the page there too: the same GlobalKey twice, or the page pulled into a dying route. Signing out and switching profile now close the corner player first, so its last history save lands before the account's rows are wiped instead of after.
Two exported chat transcripts and a Gradle problems report were committed by mistake, along with banner and screenshot images nothing links to any more. The transcripts stay on disk, now ignored; horizontal-banner.png stays because the v1.0-v3.0 release notes still show it.

Leaving Sozo while a video plays now shrinks the player into the mini window, which floats like Chrome's and Telegram's picture-in-picture: on every Space, beside other apps' full-screen windows, above floating panels, with no title bar, and with hover controls even while another app is in front. Coming back from the mini puts a docked player back in its dock.
mpv reports "Error decoding audio." for a single bad packet and carries on; the player treated it as fatal and showed an error over a playing video.
The glass capsule's tab Row follows the ambient direction, so in Arabic it laid the tabs out right to left while the package's tap, drag and indicator maths kept counting from the left edge. Every tap opened the mirror-image tab: Home went to Profile, Search to Downloads. Build the bar left to right in every locale and, in RTL, hand it the tabs reversed with the index and the callback mirrored. Home stays on the right in Arabic. liquid_glass_widgets fixed it the same way upstream after 0.18; upgrading across that major is not a patch-release change.
Brings the drawn glass from satashkent-staff, the same liquid_glass_renderer pin (0.2.0-dev.4) and the rules it was tuned under: - GlassGroup/GlassShape/GlassSurface: refraction where Impeller runs it, a blur under a thicker tint where it cannot, an opaque fill under Reduce Transparency. One recipe per kind, dark only, since Sozo has one theme. - Held to its tint while its route moves, while the keyboard moves, and while one of the phone's own views stands under it, where the shader would draw a dark block. - GlassSense (iOS, soplay/glass) reports Reduce Transparency; GlassPower (Android, soplay/glass_power) reports an Android Go phone, which draws the blur instead of the refraction. - MediaGlass: clear glass for controls over video, with the player's 0.45 black laid in it so a white glyph keeps 3:1 over a white frame. iPhone only; every other platform keeps the black plate it has. Nothing draws it yet.
The top bar, the centre transport and the bottom row now stand on MediaGlass instead of a black disc: the same black, laid in clear glass that bends the frame at its rim. Each row is one MediaGlassLayer, so the whole overlay reads the picture three times, not once per button. Android, TV and desktop draw exactly what they drew before.
- The lock pill stands on MediaGlass with the deeper 0.6 dimming its words need. - Locking and unlocking give a firm tap: the controls vanish with the lock, so nothing on screen confirms it. A double-tap seek ticks, since the ripple lands on the far side of the thumb. Phones only. - Locking was the same five-line lambda in two places; now _lock(). - A stall shows CupertinoActivityIndicator on iOS, as AVKit does over a stalled video; Material's ring everywhere else.
A download started from the episode list or the detail page went out with only the headers the source declared - usually just a Referer - so the Android service asked under Dalvik's agent and the in-process engine under dart:io's. Hosts that answer a bare client with a page failed those episodes as "a web page instead of the video" while the same episode played. The player's header rule now lives in mediaRequestHeaders and the transfer and the tap-time probe both use it.
A CloudStream series hands every season over in one list, numbered within each season. The app dropped the season and told episodes apart by number, so Lupin's seasons sorted into each other (Chapter 1, Chapter 6, Chapter 1) and S2E1 shared an id with S1E1. Episodes now keep their season; a run whose seasons share numbers is numbered through in season order (season 1 keeps its numbers), the list shows one season at a time behind season chips, rows and the player show S2 E1, and switching source matches season and episode.
Asked for in support. The pick is remembered on the device. Also drops an unneeded import from the glass test.
The tab asked only AniList and took its first search hit, so a film or a series either had no relations or showed an anime that shared a word with its name. A title that is not anime now gets the rest of its film series and TMDB's recommendations (through the backend proxy), and the AniList path takes a hit only when its title really matches.
The sheet listed every source that had the title and left the walk to the viewer: pick one, and when it had the show but not the episode, pick the next. Auto does the walk - corrections first, then the matches it trusts by score, each source as it answers - and opens the first one that plays.
… its playlist An HLS download is index.m3u8 and its segments, and the exporter copied the one file it was given: an 80 KB Baththa.m3u8 in Downloads/Sozo and the 655 MB film still in the app. The segments are now joined into one .ts, or .mp4 for fragmented MP4, with AES-128 decrypted. A separate audio playlist or SAMPLE-AES is refused with a reason rather than saved broken.
Only the paged mode could zoom. The list stops scrolling while two fingers are down, or a pinch whose fingers move up or down reads as a scroll.
…wering is a failure The card read "00:49 +1:25"; it now reads "00:49 / 02:07". Timeouts and refused opens were not counted, so a dead host left the card on a skeleton for good and the warmer walked two full passes over it. They count now, and the warmer stops after 6 in a row. The byte count of the scrub cache no longer drifts when a frame moves to the grid. A progressive file gets the same 15 s open and 6 s frame as HLS: a slow host's index took longer than 5 s, and a timeout discards what was read. The grid is not filled when a VTT arrives during the wait, and a download warms the full grid on mobile data. VTT cues may leave the hours out, the parser is testable, a sheet shows the skeleton while it loads, and the first two sheets are precached.
Whole streams never showed a picture, while the player was playing them. - Too little time. A first frame is a playlist, a segment and a decode, and 5 s was never enough for a 2.3 MB segment on 2 Mbit/s. Each try was abandoned and the next paid for a segment again. Now 18 s native, 20 s in Dart. - A lifted finger threw away the frame being fetched, so on a slow host no drag ever showed one. It now lands in the cache and the next drag finds it. - The retriever was released on every lift and read the file's index again each drag. It is kept for a minute, and an open that took long still counts. - A retriever that refuses a stream, hangs or only gives nulls now hands over to Media3's extractor, which also reads HLS that a source mislabelled. - A failed proxy registration or playlist read was cached for 20 minutes. - The grid gave up for good on a host that was down. It rests and tries again, and waits for the duration when the engine does not know it yet. - A sprite sheet that never answers falls back to the decoder. - The proxy now recognises a playlist served as text by its first bytes; its absolute segment addresses used to go out with no headers. Not checked on a device: the Kotlin changes are compiled, not run.
The flag means a probe refused the source. Providers do not probe, so it is usually absent, and reading absent as false left SourceLadder with nothing: the first mirror played, its failure ended on the error screen with the others untried, and the remembered quality was ignored. Real logs show one url retried until the error, on primesrc and on Coflix. CloudStream, Aniyomi, Mangayomi and Jellyfin always sent true, so only they ever walked.
Diagnostics were taken once, when the ticket opened, so "it still does not play" reached support with a log from before the attempt, or none. Only on a ticket that opened with diagnostics: the switch on the new-ticket screen stays the viewer's choice.
Past the first slice the track stayed with the rest of the file still in the source language, and no message.
The Hide button held the long no-connection sentence, and the message held "Hide sources that are down", in every language. Also a literal \u201c on screen in the TV link message.
vi.json is machine-written and not yet read by a native speaker. Flutter and the system fonts already cover Vietnamese, so nothing else is needed for it to show. Subtitle labels named Vietnamese, vie or Vietsub now match. A subtitle in the viewer's language beats the source's default track, and one-tap translate uses a human subtitle in the wanted language rather than machine-translating English.
…ect hard subs KKPhim splices a 30 s gambling ad into every title. A source can now name such segments, and the local proxy drops them from the playlist. Checked through the real proxy against a live title: 6073.0 s becomes 6042.8 s, and it plays across the join. VSMOV stores MPEG-TS behind real PNGs. The proxy finds the stream behind the picture and its padding, including when the player opens with Range: bytes=0-, as both engines do. Checked against a live title: FFmpeg reads 1080p H.264 and decodes it; without the proxy it reads a 0x0 PNG. __sozoCaps tells the served script this build can do it. A source can say which language is burned into the picture, so auto-translate does not draw a second line over it. Subtitle search says what the viewer reads, so the server can look further for it.
A Vietnamese capital carries two marks and reaches about 1.03 em above the baseline. Text cut off with an ellipsis is clipped to its line box, so at a height of 1.08 a long title lost them. Rendered with real Roboto: the Ẳ of a long banner title showed as Ă, which is another word, and at 1.25 it is whole. Only Vietnamese gets the extra room; other languages keep the design.
