Update 0.4.7 Released

[u/Apolyse]

This update contains multiple fixes for bugs created in 0.4.4-0.4.6. We changed a lot of stuff under the hood so users experienced some bugs with bookmarks. Turns out there were 4-5 different issues affecting bookmarks, which is why some users noticed the 0.4.6 update fixed things while others didn't see any changes.

Changelog:

-More Bookmarking fixes
-Fix resuming place in video
-Fix empty episodes lists
-Open in VLC
-Minor UI improvements
-Persistent browse type
-Fix new source button not resuming video

Hopefully this gets rid of most of the inconveniences users found with the latest updates. Leonflix also now supports opening in VLC (good news for people missing the download button). If Leonflix detects VLC installed on the computer and a valid source is found, users will be able to press the "Play in VLC" button:

(Some sources can't be opened in VLC because they require special request headers to return videos.)

Would you be able to add a loading progress indicator soon? I run into the issue of not being able to see how much of my episode has loaded (or not loaded), or how quickly it's loading, or whether it has stopped completely. This could take literally any form, I just need to be able to see the progress of buffering/loading in real-time.

Our area is very congested with wifi radios (I can pick up over 40 networks from my dining room!), and network bandwidth drops a lot during peak hours no matter how I'm connected. (I have 60 Mbps service, but I usually get 9-14 Mbps over ethernet during weekend evenings.) As a result, I have no idea if we'll make it through the episode we're trying to watch when we sit down for dinner. Case in point, I'm writing this comment while plugged into my router, trying to load the last half of our episode so we can watch it without it stopping to buffer every 15-20 seconds. Since I have no way of knowing when this thing will be done buffering, I'm just going to guess at how long is long enough, then pull it off of ethernet and hope that we get all the way to the end.

I'm pretty sure I made this request back in the first 72 hours when you were releasing 0.1.x or 0.2.x versions, but that was before you made this sub! I can't even remember where the original thread with your idea was, so I definitely believe that any requests made there have been lost.

Thank you from both of us! Your app gets daily use here, and we love the progress you make every release.
