Recent site improvements

Collected highlights from the updates leading up to this changelog. These were introduced across several updates during September.

Anime

  • Cinextream is the first player, with VidNest as a fallback and a separate YouTube option.
  • When Cinextream reports that all servers failed, a short grace period precedes the switch to VidNest for the same episode and language.
  • Episode selection includes Sub/Dub choices, episode details, shareable links and saved last-opened preferences. A separate label identifies the loaded episode and provider.
  • Search refresh keeps its filters, temporary catalogue failures can be retried, and watch history accepts validated playback reports without marking an opened player as watched.
  • Schedules, seasons, personal lists and related-title links make it easier to follow a series.
  • The loaded-player label stays tied to the episode actually opened, even when a different episode or language is selected before pressing Play. Reload and fallback retain that loaded selection.
  • Cinextream requests playback after Play or Reload. Browsers may still require a tap inside the video; simply opening an anime page does not start the player.
  • Closing or reloading the player, choosing YouTube, or changing episodes cancels pending fallback switches. Messages from an old player cannot change the active one.
  • Watched-history updates reject incomplete playback information, avoid counting a provider auto-next notice as completion, and reduce repeated saves during playback.

Anime discovery and calendar

  • Episode matching checks explicitly named seasons to reduce results from the wrong season, while retaining playlists that cover a complete series.
  • YouTube playlist candidates are checked for availability before discovery stops. If none can be used, a limited cached fallback search can look for alternatives.
  • Previous and Next follow distinct episode numbers, avoiding a jump from a finale to an alternate upload of episode 1.
  • Opening a short episode preview no longer leaves the full episode list truncated in the cache.
  • Upcoming schedules share a reusable cache and can recover from recent successful schedules or cached next-airing records during provider outages.
  • Calendar results remove airings that have already passed and handle broadcasts due within the next minute correctly.
  • Season browsing can fall back to Kitsu when AniList and Jikan fail, retaining the selected season, year and page. Catalogue coverage may vary by source.

Manga

  • Saved lists and reading history keep track of titles, chapters and reading positions on this device.
  • Chapter update checks and language-aware reading preferences help readers return to their series.
  • Catalogue caching and recovery handling improve the experience when a source is temporarily slow or unavailable.

YouTube and downloads

  • Saved video features include favorites, Watch Later, history, playlists and a play queue, with resume support where available.
  • Video and channel discovery, playlist refresh and episode matching received reliability improvements.
  • Wallpapers and ringtones have dedicated browsing and download pages.
  • Related videos use cleaner title matching and can fall back to public uploads from the same channel when search finds no usable cards.
  • Related-video results exclude the current video and private playlist entries, keep pagination on the chosen source, and show a message when no results are available.
  • Cached searches and channel or playlist lookups remain usable without spending another search request. Limits on uncached searches help preserve the shared daily allowance.
  • Recent searches handle simultaneous updates more reliably while retaining the latest ten distinct terms.

Services and saved data

  • Browser tools cover QR codes, image editing, batch images, PDFs and calculators.
  • Backup & Offline Tools can export and restore selected saved lists and preferences, with an undo option after restore.
  • Selected local tools can be prepared for offline use after an online visit; their offline stylesheet handling was improved.
  • Saved tools now use a verified cached stylesheet when a network stylesheet request fails, so their styling can survive both connection failures and rejected requests.
  • Offline preparation covers six local tools: calculators, QR codes, images, batch images, PDFs and backup. Online catalogues and external video players still need a connection.

Weather and currency

  • Weather forecasts, city lookups and exchange rates reuse validated cached results to reduce repeat requests and improve reliability.
  • Recent cached data can remain available during a temporary provider outage, keeping its original date or timestamp. Historical exchange rates are cached for longer.
  • Currency dates now reject impossible calendar dates, and preference handling tolerates browsers that block local storage.

Contact and guestbook

  • Contact and guestbook submission limits continue to apply after a new browser session, reducing repeated submissions.
  • Guestbook saves write a complete replacement before updating the stored records. A failed save preserves existing entries and reports the failure.

Appearance and reliability

  • Blue and dark themes received refinements to colors, controls, borders and spacing, alongside adjustable text sizes.
  • Content refresh, caching and retry behavior received fixes to preserve useful results during temporary provider failures.
  • Input validation, saved-data handling and maintenance checks were strengthened across the site.
  • Back links reject unsafe local paths and use a safe fallback when the referring address cannot be trusted.
  • Shared file writes detect incomplete saves, and provider cooldowns help avoid repeated failing requests while useful cached results remain available.
  • Private provider diagnostics help investigate failures, response times and cache behavior without recording search terms, API keys or visitor IP addresses.
  • Video-converter commands pass paths and arguments directly to the converter process for more reliable argument handling.
Player and catalogue availability depends on external providers. Automatic watch history needs playback reports from the player; Cinextream does not currently provide reliable progress reports in the tested embed.
