Important

Updating from version 1.0.2 or earlier to versions 2.0.0 or later will break your history file, so make sure to back it up manually.

This update will allow the user to save progress in minutes for both TV Shows and movies. Note that this is only supported by mpv (non Android) at the moment. A movie or TV show episode is automatically marked as completed/updated after the user watches more than 85% of its content
