"My precious... but bigger."

v1.5.0 is here, and it's another huge one. Third debrid integration, a genre-driven library view, persistent memory for files that disappear, and very deep upgrades to what we can detect inside your video files. Huge thanks to everyone reporting bugs, requesting features, and pasting log dumps over the past few weeks 🙏

If you're not familiar with Cinaura, it's a serverless Android TV app that pulls movies and shows from your own sources (Dropbox, SMB/webDAV, Real-Debrid, Premiumize, TorBox) into one tidy library.

------

In this release:

🌐 Premiumize support
Cinaura now pairs with Premiumize as a third debrid alongside Real-Debrid and TorBox. QR-code or manual customer-PIN, with a folder picker so you can sync only the Premiumize folders you actually want.

🎭 Genre carousel
A new "Genres" view alongside List and Grid, on both Movies and TV Shows. Alphabetical shelves, items show up in every genre they belong to, and the focused shelf docks to the top of the screen as you navigate so you stay oriented browsing deep.

💾 Your library remembers what you added
Files that disappear from a source (a debrid torrent that died, a NAS file you renamed, a cloud drive that's temporarily offline) no longer silently vanish. They stay marked as "Unavailable" with a "since when" timestamp, and a new Settings → Library → Unavailable items page lists them all. Toggleable in case you preferred the old auto-cleanup behaviour.

🎯 Multi-source playback
Similar items that live on more than one source now use a unified picker. Pick the source explicitly or let Cinaura auto-rank by resolution / HDR / file size. Your choice persists across restarts.

📄 NFO sidecar support
Drop an NFO next to a video and Cinaura reads it alongside TMDb. Stub NFOs that just carry a <tmdbid> are particularly useful for rescuing obscure foreign titles TMDb search would otherwise miss. Curated <title> / <plot> / <originalTitle> from the NFO win over TMDb defaults.

🎬 Show-level actions on Seasons
The Options menu on a show now does favourite, mark-all-watched, refresh metadata, hide, and fix metadata. Incorrectly detected episodes can be batch-reassigned to a new show in one tap.

📺 Smarter HDR detection
HDR10+ is now correctly detected on most 4K HDR10+ remuxes — previously many were silently downgraded to plain HDR10. HDR10 also catches more older x265 MKVs that hide the signal in the bitstream. Dolby Vision Profile 7 fallback gets a few more edge-case fixes.

🔊 Smarter audio handling
The audio badge now describes the track that actually plays instead of stitching attributes across every track. Atmos and DTS:X badges include channel count consistently. Multi-track audio files (commentary tracks, alternate dubs) are also recognised as separate tracks now, previously every stream after the first silently collapsed into the first.

🗣️ Preferred audio language
New Settings → Preferences row. Pick a language and Cinaura plays that language wherever a file has it, falling back to the container's default audio track when it doesn't. Set to "Auto" to always play the default.

🎨 Better loocal artwork detection
Adding a Movie.Name-poster.jpg / -fanart.jpg / -logo.jpg next to an already-ingested file now updates the badge on the next sync. Previously it required a force refresh.

⚡ Faster source onboarding
Adding a new source or editing folder selection now syncs only that source instead of walking your entire library. Big quality-of-life win if you have multiple debrid services or large network shares.

📰 Redesigned "Up Next"
The end-of-episode prompt moved from a popup card to an integrated bottom banner that sits under the transport controls. Quieter, doesn't steal focus.

🔠 Smarter library sorting
Article-aware sorting now language-aware: "The Matrix", "Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie", "El Laberinto del Fauno" all sort by the actual title, with the article rendered slightly dimmed.

🐛 Bug fixes

• SMB "yellow dot" intermittent unavailability
• Real-Debrid sync noticeably faster on large libraries
• Memory headroom for users with 30K+ debrid items (fewer OOM crashes mid-playback)
• Fresh-install admin gates light up immediately, no app restart needed
• Player progress save no longer causes hiccups
• Real-Debrid / TorBox pairing no longer gets stuck in a "checking…" state
• "Turn on subtitles by default" actually picks a subtitle when a video opens now
• "Reset all overrides" correctly clears the parent show's pin too
• Streamlined disconnect flow
• A single failing folder no longer takes down the whole source
• Watch Next entries dismissed from the system launcher are removed from Continue Watching too
• Force refresh metadata correctly re-translates episode titles when you switch metadata language
• Trakt health check is more robust, fewer false-positive disconnects

For those not comfortable with sideloading, Play Store release is still in the plan!
