### Examples

- **Continue the Last Episode**:
  ```bash
  curd -c
  ```

- **Add a New Anime**:
  ```bash
  curd -percentage-to-mark-complete=90
  ```

- **Play with Rofi and Image Preview**:
  ```bash
  curd -rofi -image-preview
  ```

## Configuration

All configurations are stored in a file you can edit with the `-e` option.

```bash
curd -e
```

Script is made in a way that you use it for one session of watching.

You can quit it anytime and the resume time would be saved in the history file

more settings can be found at config file.
config file is located at ```~/.config/curd/curd.conf```

On first start, curd asks which tracking mode you want to use:

- local
- anilist
- myanimelist
- anilist + myanimelist

Local history stays enabled in all modes. `anilist` means local history + AniList sync, `myanimelist` means local history + MyAnimeList sync, and `anilist + myanimelist` updates both platforms. In dual-sync mode, curd compares the latest remote update time for each anime and pushes the newest status/progress/category back to the older tracker so both sides converge automatically. Legacy installs are migrated to `anilist` automatically. If you switch trackers later, curd exposes a **Change Tracker** menu entry and can either merge both lists, replace MyAnimeList with AniList, or replace AniList with MyAnimeList.

MyAnimeList OAuth requires your own MAL application credentials. You can set them in the config file or with environment variables:

```bash
CURD_MAL_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
CURD_MAL_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret
```

If the browser reaches the localhost callback page but curd does not continue automatically, rerun the command and paste the full callback URL when prompted. Curd now keeps the pending MyAnimeList PKCE state so the login can be completed manually.

|---------------------------|------------|-------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `DiscordPresence`         | Boolean    | `true`, `false`                           | Enables or disables Discord Rich Presence integration.                                            |
| `AnimeNameLanguage`       | Enum       | `english`, `romaji`                       | Sets the preferred language for anime names.                                                      |
| `MpvArgs`                 | List       | all mpv args eg ["--fullscreen=yes", "--mute=yes"]     | Add args to mpv player                                                               | 
| `MpvPlaybackStartTimeout` | Integer    | `1` to `600` (seconds)                    | How long to wait for MPV playback to start before trying another provider. Default: `20`          |
| `AddMissingOptions`       | Boolean    | `true`, `false`                           | When `true`, on a **version upgrade** only options registered as new for that release are **appended** to `curd.conf` (not every historical default). Set `false` to opt out. Defaults still apply in memory always. |
| `VimKeys`                 | Boolean    | `true`, `false`                           | When `true`, selection menus use vim motions: `j`/`k`/`h`/`l` (and arrows) to move, `/` or `?` to search. Default: `false` (type-to-filter immediately). Add `VimKeys=true` to `~/.config/curd/curd.conf` to enable. |
| `CheckUpdates`            | Boolean    | `true`, `false`                           | When `true` (default), checks GitHub for a newer release **while idle** (does not delay startup). If an update is found, the next launch shows notes and options: update now / skip / remind later / turn off. |
| `MpvEpisodePlaylist`    | Boolean    | `true`, `false`                           | When `true` (default), after playback is stable curd fills the MPV playlist with episodes (and dub/sub when available) so you can pick from MPV's playlist UI. Access: `MPV` → right-click the prev/next OSC button (or `Ctrl+P`). Selecting a row loads that stream and keeps tracking in sync. |
| `AlternateScreen`         | Boolean    | `true`, `false`                           | Toggles the use of an alternate screen buffer for cleaner UI.                                     |
| `RofiSelection`           | Boolean    | `true`, `false`                           | Enables or disables anime selection via Rofi.                                                     |
| `PercentageToMarkComplete`| Integer    | `0` to `100`                              | Sets the percentage of an episode watched to consider it as completed.                            |
| `StoragePath`             | String     | Any valid path (Environment variables accepted)  | Specifies the directory where Curd stores its data.                                        |
| `SubOrDub`                | Enum       | `sub`, `dub`                              | Sets the preferred format for anime audio.                                                        |
| `SubStyle`                | Enum       | `ask`, `soft`, `hard`                     | For AniNeko sub streams: `ask` prompts once when both soft-sub and hard-sub servers exist, then saves your choice here; `soft` uses external `.vtt` subtitles via mpv; `hard` uses burned-in subs. Default: `ask` |
| `NextEpisodePrompt`       | Boolean    | `true`, `false`                           | Prompts the user before automatically playing the next episode.                                   |
| `SubsLanguage`            | String     | `english` (redundant rn)                  | Sets the preferred subtitle language.                                                             |
| `ScoreOnCompletion`       | Boolean    | `true`, `false`                           | Automatically prompts the user to rate the anime upon completion.                                 |
| `SkipOp`                  | Boolean    | `true`, `false`                           | Automatically skips the opening of episodes when supported.                                       |

| `SkipRecap`               | Boolean    | `true`, `false`                           | Skips recap sections in episodes when supported.                                                  |

| `Player`                  | String     | any mpv-compatible binary (e.g. `mpv`, `iina`) | Player binary used for playback. If not found, Curd falls back to `mpv`.                          |

| `SkipFiller`              | Boolean    | `true`, `false`                           | Skips filler episodes when supported.                                                             |
| `MenuOrder`               | String     | Comma-separated list                      | Controls which menu items appear and their order. Available options: `CURRENT`, `ALL`, `UNTRACKED`, `UPDATE`, `REMAP_PROVIDER`, `CONTINUE_LAST`, `PLANNING`, `COMPLETED`, `PAUSED`, `DROPPED`, `REWATCHING`, `TRACKER`, `PROVIDER`. Only listed items will be shown. Default: `CURRENT,ALL,UNTRACKED,UPDATE,REMAP_PROVIDER,CONTINUE_LAST,TRACKER,PROVIDER` |
| `Provider`                | List       | `stacked`, `["anipub"]`, `["anineko"]`, `["allanime"]`, `["animepahe"]` | Sets the content-provider fallback list. `stacked` (default) uses the preferred order: senshi → anipub → anineko → allanime → animepahe. A single-provider list uses only that site. AllAnime and Animepahe are disabled by default unless included in `Provider`. Default: `stacked` |
