What's new in 0.7.0
- Find subtitles online. When a file has no subtitles in your language,
"Find subtitles online" in the player's Audio & subtitles panel fetches the
best one from OpenSubtitles — one made for your exact file when there is
one — and "Choose another" lists the rest. 5 downloads a day without an
account, 20 with a free OpenSubtitles account (Settings → Accounts).
Subtitles are kept in Kinema's own folder, never beside your videos. - Forced subtitles with subtitles off. The few lines for what is said in
another language now show even with subtitles switched off, in the language
being spoken, as on a disc. Kinema can also fetch them from OpenSubtitles for
files that have none (Settings → Playback, off unless you turn it on). - Trakt. Connect your Trakt account in Settings → Accounts, beside SIMKL,
and each film and episode you finish is added to it. What you had already
watched is sent once, leaving out what Trakt already has. It only adds, as
SIMKL does. - Settings → Accounts shows SIMKL's and Trakt's own logos.
- Fixed: the cover on a title's page is no longer stretched.
The library is upgraded the first time 0.7.0 starts (a safety copy is made
first).
Install
Download the ZIP, extract it anywhere, and run kinema.exe.
No installer, nothing written outside the folder and your app data.
Windows 11 only. Needs the WebView2 runtime, which ships with
Windows 11 — nothing to install separately.
Windows will ask once whether to run it
Kinema is not code-signed, so the first time you open it Windows
shows "Windows protected your PC". Click More info, then
Run anyway; Windows remembers. To check you got the file this
workflow built, run this in PowerShell where you downloaded it:
Get-FileHash .\kinema-0.7.0-windows-x64.zip -Algorithm SHA256Expected: c49bfae240885bf584b98385049762c55b6c2ad976a924c37f509c09bafa3bfd
First run
Kinema opens on a setup panel: add your movies and TV folders, and
scan. Posters and descriptions come from TMDB through a key Kinema
carries, so there is nothing to sign up for; a free key of your own
can be entered in Settings instead.
Bundles an unmodified LGPL build of libmpv, which you may replace —
