New Features
- Enrichment Cache — persistent background cache pre-fetches TMDb credits, external links, trailers, and movie logos at startup; movie cards load instantly without secondary API calls (
_enrichedflag skips all async fetches) - Session-Based Seen Tracking — random selection avoids repeating movies within the same browser tab session; resets automatically when the full pool is exhausted with a toast notification
- Media Server Web Client — client-picker now includes the configured media server as a direct watch option; opens the movie's detail page in Plex/Jellyfin/Emby web UI in a new tab
- Animated Login Logo — app icon replaced with a looping silent MP4 on the login screen
- PWA Splash Screen — standalone home-screen launches show a custom dark splash for 1.5s, dismissed once per session
Visual Overhaul
- Color System — full amber palette replacing all purple/indigo across both HeroUI themes; buttons, glows, progress bars, focus rings, and aurora orbs all updated
- Typography — three-font system: Geist (UI), Instrument Serif (movie titles), Geist Mono (numbers/metadata)
- Cinema Poster Mode — full-bleed blurred backdrop, glassmorphism info bars, editorial director layout, spring-eased progress bar
- Filter Island — filter controls unified into a glass pill with active-count badge and spring-entrance dropdown
- Icon Button Animations — Next, Power, and service-switcher icons spin 360° on hover (disabled on touch devices)
Bug Fixes
- Collection warning count mismatch — badge and modal heading now consistently exclude Trakt-watched movies; Trakt-watched previous movies hidden from modal list (no action needed)
- Collection warning shown for all-handled collections — button correctly hidden when every previous movie is watched locally or on Trakt and all other collection movies are in library or on Trakt
- Collection warning slow to appear — moved to async
/api/collection_statusendpoint; no longer blocks movie response - TMDb collection cache never expiring — weekly APScheduler job clears
lru_cacheso new sequels appear without restart - Next-movie background flash — images preloaded before DOM update; old movie stays visible until new assets are ready
- Service switch leaves stale filters — switching service now resets filters and session seen-list
- Apple TV pairing on macOS Docker — optional IP Address field uses
--scan-hostsfor direct unicast pairing; failure now reports EOF/TIMEOUT reason with atvremote output - Apple TV device name/model — stored on pairing and shown in settings instead of raw UUID
- PWA icons showing white background — all icons rebuilt with
#222222background; 1024×1024 maskable icon added for macOS dock - Auth session writes on every request — session values only written when they actually change
Changes
- Default settings — fresh installs: Movie Logos off, Login Backdrops on, Load on Start on, Poster Mode set to Screensaver
