Issues with Sekai Viewer

[LazytownSpo666]

1: The link to the changelog does not lead to the dev's changelog (frequently updated), instead going for main's log, which is too outdated.

2: You should rename the "Skip beginning silence" toggle to "Skip beginning delay". I mean seriously, i'll just assume that, in theory, the first 8 seconds of EVERY single, music are muted, and skipped. Didn't i mention? but 2DMVs has a black screen for 8 seconds before starting, which is similar.

The beginning delay might be a better word, cause the muted seconds at the beginning is for the transition to live charts in game, the same as the black screen of 2DMVs.

Good, but what about the a link leading to changelog?

Link to changelog?

Yes, it's not linked to the dev changelog.

Also, can't forget: Why are folders containing whatever webp or flac files should have "_rip" in it?

Those represent "ripped" assets, because those are the asset bundles before extracting it. You have folders with a lot of asset bundles, which are files, so the "_rip" just represents an extracted asset bundle.

Think of an asset bundle like a zip file, and it's just being extracted.

The storage server is down.

Gonna add the quote here again

To quote @dnaroma's announcement in the Sekai Viewer Discord at 2025/3/29 - 18:38 UTC:

(at)everyone the storage server has been down for three days and the server provider did not answer the urgent request. It could take longer to recover the storage. Sorry for the inconvenience caused by this problem. Affected functions are story reader, live2d, charts, and the external sonolus server which uses resources from this storage server.

You can also check the uptime of Sekai Viewer here: https://status.sekai.best/

Oh wait, it might be back up.

Back again, with few issues found:

1: Now that the new assets are uploaded to the server (i assume it's weekly), where can i retrieve the old files (it might be deleted and unretrivable).
2: In Sekai Viewer's stories viewer page (both normal and Live2D), i see an option that is greyed out, named Live Talk. Why is it not available?
3: Some pages (Settings, Stories viewer) are not titled in tab, and i assume you accessed the stories viewer (not through new tab) from the home page and, even though the tab still said "Home | Sekai Viewer", the page is at the Stories Viewer page. Is this even normal?!
4: In listing pages (cards, music), i can't middle-click the card/music to open in the new tab.

I know my grammar is somewhat bad, but are those issues normal?
