A missing -sl language now warns and continues, with or without --best-available. --require-subs counts a forced track only when selection keeps it, and a title with no track left is skipped instead of failing at mux.
BREAKING CHANGE: a missing -sl subtitle language no longer fails the run. Use --require-subs to fail on it.
Set muxing.track_names to native to name an unnamed track in its own language (中文（繁體）, Português (Portugal)) in place of English. The same script and region rules apply. --list, the muxed names and the REST API track_name follow the option. A test fixture resets the muxing options, so a local unshackle.yaml cannot change test results.
Stash a failed or cancelled track's segments outside the task temp dir and restore them on the next download. Also drop a pre-sized data file with its .!dev control file.
Relabel HEVC HDR10 tracks whose first fragment carries ST 2094-40 SEI as HDR10P, for dl, the REST API and remote sessions. Config key hdr10plus_probe (default true).
Builds per-scene L1 in unshackle (PQ mean, letterbox-aware) with a generate_dv_mode config (v29/v40/legacy); a failed hybrid no longer exits 0 with no video.
A tag with a region (en-US, es-419) matches only that variant and reports a miss instead of taking another region. A bare tag takes the variant it means (pt -> pt-BR, es -> es-ES) and falls back to any variant only when that one is missing. `orig` prefers the title's own tag, `-sl orig` resolves, forced and SDH subtitles are picked from their own pools, and the track name no longer strips the region from the cached language.
BREAKING CHANGE: -l es-419 no longer selects es-ES, and language_priority, language_tags and muxing.default_language treat a regional tag as exact.
Each keeps one kind of track inside its track type. A run of more than one title skips a title that has no such track. The REST API rejects a non-boolean value for a boolean dl param, and the DASH parser reads audio description from Role elements.
RollingMerge takes the segment path and an append hook. ISM synthesises the init from segment 0 and converts PIFF per fragment; HLS qualifies only with one init, one key and no discontinuity. Both parsers check the merge reached every segment, and resume is decided per track.
Opt-in rolling merge for DASH video and audio: each contiguous segment is appended to the output as it lands, so the post-download "Merging" stage goes away. Decrypts the init segment eagerly when decrypt_segments is on, disables resume for the track, and skips subtitle tracks.
Rules took only a scalar, so the documented list syntax raised LanguageTagError after the mux. Normalise every condition, treat an invalid tag as no match, guard the surrounding post-mux config reads, and let a rule match dual, multi and dubbed so a release can carry its own tag.
Strip cue classes, <v>/<lang>/ruby and karaoke timestamps before conversion, decode entities for SRT/SSA/ASS, load pysubs2 as utf-8-sig, and route sdh_method: filter-subs through convert_before_strip instead of raising.
Gate a title on audio or video languages that must exist, independent of what -l/-al/-vl select. --require-subs joins the same gate: its --s-lang conflict and download-all side effect are gone, so -sl now decides what to keep. Requiring a language that is also excluded fails at parse time.
Grow the service session pool to downloads * workers before track downloads, run mkvmerge jobs concurrently (muxing.concurrency, default 4), lock DRM preparation per key set instead of globally, and query local vaults first then remote vaults together.
--anilist supersedes --animeapi (REST: anilist_id); the keyless AniList
GraphQL provider joins the registry with title search, mal: ID lookup,
an ANILIST mkv tag, and the anilist_title_language config option.
Services mark anime via Service.ANIME / Title.anime for anilist-first
metadata resolution with fall-through.
