Each series independently tracks its sub and dub release schedules, with per-episode audio labels showing exactly what is available and when. - Prefer Dubs - a setting that hides series from Continue Watching if your progress matches the latest aired dub. - Dubbed Audio filter - filters the search page to only show dubbed series, and toggles the airing schedule to show dub air times instead of sub air times for currently airing dubbed series. - Dub, Sub, and Hentai release feeds - live feeds sorted by newest release so you never miss a drop. - Dub and Sub notifications - separate scheduling and tracking for both, including delayed, indefinitely delayed, and batch release announcements. - Audio labels on cards, episode lists, and the banner showing Dub, Sub, or Dual Audio status. 🌐 Extension-Based Content Fetching (Optional) Out of the box, Shiru plays files you already have locally. Extensions unlock additional content fetching for legally owned media, such as accessing your own personal media server remotely. - Automatic series and episode detection from file names. - Support for custom RSS feeds and resolution preferences. - Adjustable network speeds. - Dynamic extension loading, with results appearing as each extension completes rather than waiting for all to finish. - Design and use custom extensions to connect your own content sources. 🔔 Notifications - Real-time alerts for new sub, dub, and hentai episodes. - Delayed and indefinitely delayed episode notifications. - Series announcement notifications for upcoming anime. - In-app notification tray that tracks all alerts regardless of system notification settings. - Notifications are auto-marked as read when the relevant episode is watched. - Notification filtering by list status, so you only get alerted for what you care about. - Optional Prefer Dubs setting that ensures you are only notified when a dubbed episode is available, falling back to sub only if no dub exists for the series. 🎬 Video Playback Features 💬 Subtitle Support - Softcoded and external subtitles: VTT, SSA, ASS, SUB, TXT. - Per-series subtitle memory, with your preferred track saved per source, so your choice carries over automatically. - CJK glyph fallback using Noto Sans for missing characters. - Subtitle file selector directly in the player. - Cycle through subtitle tracks with a single key. 📺 Playback - Near-instant local file playback with no transcoding or compression. - Automatic thumbnail generation as files buffer, making timeline scrubbing easy even without chapters. - Chapter-aware seekbar with progress indicators and skippable sections (OP, ED, recap, filler). - Filler and recap detection with a prompt to skip or continue. - Autoplay next episode with fast episode transitions. - Multi-audio track support with descriptive labels. - Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode. - Miniplayer with drag, resize, and auto-hide on pause. - Volume boost beyond 100% (desktop). - Discord Rich Presence showing title, episode, and playback progress. - External player support on both Android and desktop. - Built-in file manager for viewing all files, with the ability to manually correct misidentified series names and episode numbers. ⚠️ Important This application does not host, distribute, or provide media content.
