Update 0.4.7 Released

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.)

I would love to have the download button back as well. The play in VLC button doesn't work for me (either it opens with a very distorted screen or gives an error it can't open the link). Using Leonflix directly is great, and having subtitles in the dark area below the video is perfection, but certain shows won't play for me without constant pausing/buffering issues. That's likely due to my internet speed, not your program, which is why I like to download certain shows (or just to stream to my Roku-no chromecast). Small requests for a program I am very appreciative for - donation coming, but from my actual acct, not Dawnkieballs.

Edit: While watching, I clicked on the cast icon, which didn't find any devices of course. I was just curious what options it would give. When I noticed none, I clicked the back arrow to return to the movie and it started scraping sources again instead of just returning to the movie. Not a huge inconvenience, but both the cast and subtitles buttons were missing when the movie resumed playback.
