New media added server-side was invisible while the app was open - the
client had no channel for library-change notifications, so the home
screen and library tabs sat stale until an app restart.
Each online server now runs a reconnecting websocket push channel
(Plex `/:/websockets/notifications`; Jellyfin/Emby `/socket` with the
dialect deltas, including Emby's capabilities registration), owned per
server by a LibraryEventService supervisor that follows server
online/offline/replaced-client transitions and app lifecycle. Channels
emit one coalesced LibraryChangeEvent per burst on a leading-edge
throttle modeled on Plex Web's repopulate pacing: the first settled
change surfaces immediately and a library scan's flood merges behind
it. Connection failure degrades silently to the stale-refresh paths -
bounded reconnect backoff, re-armed on every status sync.
Consumers pace their reaction through one shared RefreshPacer: burst
debounce, blocked retry while video playback or an active scroll owns
the surface, a cooldown bounding pass frequency during bulk imports,
and credit for committed pull passes so a push landing right after a
fresh load defers to the cooldown's trailing edge.
- Discover runs a debounced full pass and swaps the result in place;
the hero carousel resets only when a pass lands first content, so a
push never yanks a screen the user is reading. Pushed removals drop
from every visible list immediately via the deletion bus, scoped to
the emitting server.
- The visible library tab swaps its data in place: transaction tabs
reload without clearing, and the browse and paginated card grids
refetch their loaded span (Plex Web's repopulateRange) with the
scroll offset anchored on the first visible item and the span
clamped after alpha jumps. Hidden tabs - and tabs behind another
main tab - mark per-library staleness epochs instead and reload when
next shown; epochs are snapshotted at load start so a push racing an
in-flight fetch stays stale.
- The stale-resume and tab-shown paths refetch home hubs (previously
Continue Watching only), covering setups where the socket cannot
connect.

Quitting the app lost the music session: on the next launch the queue,
current song, and playhead were gone. The session now persists per
profile (new MusicSessions Drift table, schema v22) through throttled
write-through during playback, and the next launch rehydrates it as a
parked-paused queue — no audio core and no source resolution until the
first play, which opens the track at the saved offset. Ending the
session (stop, swipe-dismiss, video claim) clears the snapshot, and a
new "Remember music session" playback setting (default on) gates the
restore.
close#2148
Pressing Cmd+, on macOS did nothing: the stock Flutter template left a
disabled Preferences menu item holding the key equivalent, and nothing
in the app handled the chord.
MainScreen now handles Cmd+, (macOS) / Ctrl+, (Windows/Linux) beside
the existing Cmd+F search shortcut, reusing its tab-aware open path. A
SettingsShortcut fallback above the profile navigator covers pushed
content routes, pushing a named settings route; a navigator observer
blocks the chord while settings is already in the stack, and the video
player route keeps ownership of the keyboard. The dead xib menu item
is removed.

The custom sidebar read as an ad-hoc widget: collapsed rows were the
expanded layout clipped to the strip, the libraries tree used a
staircase of indents and mixed row heights, and hover expansion pushed
the whole content area sideways.
Rebuild the rail on M3 Expressive geometry: collapsed destinations are
icon-only 56x32 pills centered in an 80px strip (48px icon-only on TV),
expanded rows are fixed-height destinations with a full-width stadium
indicator, and the two layouts crossfade/lerp during the width morph
instead of clipping. The libraries section is flattened into full-width
destination rows under a chevron header at standard destination
metrics, hover/touch expansion overlays content as a rounded, shadowed
panel over a dimmed scrim instead of pushing it, and rail width, item
morphs, content translate, and bleed all share one duration/curve.
getServerBoundPlexClient/getClientForLibrary existed only for their own unit tests; MetadataEditAdapter.backend and Plex's unreachable prefKey fallback and music-kind branches had no production path (edit is double-gated on supportsKind); MainScreenFocusScope's focus aspect, isSidebarFocused, and focusContent were write-only; resolveActivePlexIdentity.preferredAccount was never passed; ProfileRegistry.get was unused outside tests — its removal exposed a stale test contract, now pinned correctly: list() deliberately never serves plex_home rows.
Pausing an episode on one device, finishing it on another and pressing
Refresh left the first device showing the old "minutes left". Restarting the
app showed the right value. Two independent defects produce that, and either
alone reproduces the report.
The first is the watch-state overlay. Every local watch event lands in
WatchStateStore as a patch, and WatchStateSnapshot.apply overwrites
viewOffsetMs unconditionally; isNewerThan only ever orders one patch against
another, never against the server row underneath. Nothing expires a patch and
nothing clears the map except a profile switch, so the Mac's own paused
position kept winning over every subsequent fetch until the process died.
A patch exists to bridge the gap between a local action and the next server
read of that item, so it should stop applying once that read happens. The
store now records the watermark at which a successful authoritative response
returned each key, and suppresses an acknowledged session patch at or below
it. Only a watermark is stored, never the observed state: WatchStateSnapshot
cannot hold a container's leaf counts, and keeping max() per key makes the
order two concurrent responses complete irrelevant. Suppression is a
read-time predicate, so nothing mutates during build.
The barrier covers the parentChain too. patchForItem picks the newest of the
item's own entry and its ancestors', so retiring only the item's entry would
let an older season mark win and render watched/0 -- worse than either the
stale value or the fresh one. An authoritative read of a child already
reflects any container mark that preceded it, so the child's observation
judges its ancestors as well; a newer container action still wins.
Provenance decides what may be suppressed at all. WatchStateEvent now carries
serverAcknowledged, defaulting to false so an unclassified emit site degrades
to today's behaviour rather than silently becoming retireable. An offline
write is owed to the server and a read must never retire it, so it stays
until a WatchPatchPromotionNotifier promotion says the queue replayed it. That
channel is deliberately not a WatchStateEvent: OfflineWatchSyncService reacts
to watched/unwatched by purging queued progress, so replaying one there would
delete a newer rewatch. Promotion matches an exact WatchPatchId -- session
minted for live crossings, derived from the persisted (profile, row, revision)
for queued ones so it still joins after a restart.
Report acceptance is not delivery: PlaybackReportSession resolves true for a
same-state startup heartbeat it drops, so acknowledgement now keys on
onDelivered. A MediaBrowser Started saves play count and last-played date but
not the position, so it cannot acknowledge an offset. No report-derived
watched crossing is acknowledged on any backend -- Jellyfin hard-codes its
threshold and Plex never loads the server pref that would tell it the real
one -- so only an awaited explicit markWatched settles one.
The second defect is that a failed Refresh reported success. Plex _fetchHubs
and the Jellyfin hub legs both degrade a failure to an empty list, and the
library prefetch discarded its failures, so a server whose every hub request
failed was recorded as succeeded; DiscoverProvider then kept the previous rows,
set loaded and surfaced nothing. Worse, the background Continue Watching
refresh wiped the row outright on zero success.
Hub legs now report what they degraded through a HubFetchDiagnostics sink,
which keeps partial rows alongside the failure and leaves every existing
caller untouched. Failures ride through the aggregation results, a leg that
could not run because discovery failed contributes that failure rather than a
successful no-op, and loaded-server ids became succeeded - failed - cancelled
so one bad leg no longer caches a server as covered and blocks its retry. The
toolbar awaits a DiscoverRefreshOutcome and shows the existing unableToLoad
snackbar on failure while the retained rows stay on screen. Rollback after a
mid-pass exception is version-guarded, refilters against the current hidden
libraries and no longer publishes a system shelf the pass never committed.
Observations are staged with the pass and flushed only once the same disposal,
generation and exception checks that authorise committing those rows have
passed, so a discarded or rolled-back response can never suppress a patch.
Also fixes a live data-loss race the promotion work would have built on:
upsertProgressAction stamped a millisecond timestamp and updated the row in
place, so a rewatch queued during an in-flight replay was deleted by id.
Revisions are now strictly monotonic per row, replay deletes and retry updates
compare against them, and the upsert resets the retry fields because a new
revision is a new logical action.

Trakt was the one service outside the tracker abstraction. TraktScrobbleService
re-implemented the whole playback lifecycle beside TrackerCoordinator, and
TraktSyncService pushed watched state from its own WatchStateNotifier
subscription, so the player called two objects at every lifecycle point and one
watch could be written twice. TraktTracker now implements RealtimeScrobbleTracker
like Simkl; the duplicated player call sites collapse to one each, and Trakt
shares the coordinator's ID resolver instead of re-fetching show ids every
episode.
Capabilities are split so a tracker declares what it is rather than being
special-cased: ScrobblePolicy carries each service's own resend/seek rules,
EpisodeHistoryTracker names the remote row a per-item history write targets, and
SeriesProgressTracker covers one-counter-per-series services. Writes from all
four trackers go through a shared TrackerWriteQueue, generalised from the
Trakt-only queue, with the legacy Trakt payload migrated on load. Trakt becomes
the fourth TrackersProvider slot and TraktAccountProvider is deleted, so one
object owns the active session per profile.
Two failure paths found while consolidating are fixed here too.
The queue's retries only ran on profile bind, connect and app foreground, so a
network blip mid-session left queued watches waiting for the next foreground.
OfflineModeProvider now notifies on connectivity changes, not just offline-state
or WiFi-flag changes, and main.dart flushes the queue when the network returns.
The queue also counted every failure toward the five attempts that permanently
drop an item, so a rate limit or a service having a bad hour could discard a
pending watch - the loss the queue exists to prevent. Only an answer about the
write itself now spends an attempt: 4xx counts, while rate limits, 5xx,
recoverable token-refresh failures and requests that never arrived do not. A
back-off answer also defers that service for the rest of the flush, so a queue
holding many rows does not fire all of them at a service that just asked for
quiet.
Consolidates duplicated logic behind shared implementations — paginated
grid tabs, focus chrome, cached remote stores, sheet selection columns,
the server artifact store and a test fixture layer — and removes code
that had become unreachable. Net reduction of about 5,500 lines with no
behaviour change.
Where a fix had landed separately in code that moved into a shared
helper, the fix was re-applied inside the helper rather than left behind
in the copy that went away.
Drops dead code across services, models, utils and widgets, including the
connection auth service, which had no implementer, and the Live TV DVR
provisioning models, which had no caller.
Tests that only covered deleted behaviour are removed or trimmed. No
behaviour change.
Audio-only mpv core on every platform (dedicated
com.plezy/mpv_audio_player channels): parameterized android/windows/
linux mpv plugins and a new apple MpvAudioPlayerCore, all skipping
video/window paths (vid=no, audio-display=no, gapless-audio=weak).
MusicPlaybackService drives an in-memory queue with shuffle/repeat,
file-loaded-event gapless arming (property edges coalesce and the
android bridge drops them), per-track progress reporting, OS media
controls, audio focus, sleep timer, and error auto-skip.
PlaybackCoordinator enforces one live native player: starting video
disposes the audio core first.
Un-gates music libraries; adds CardShape.square plumbing (circular
artists), artists/albums/tracks browse groupings with per-grouping
sorts, audio playlists tab, artist + album detail screens with dpad
track rows, music context-menu actions, and a stub MusicPlaybackService
seam for the upcoming engine.
Signing in triggered two back-to-back profile rebinds; the second re-added
the same Jellyfin connection, which tore down the live client and aborted
the home screen's in-flight fetches. The aborted pass was committed as
loaded-empty, flashing 'no content available' until the follow-up load
landed. Fix at the root instead of patching the sign-in window:
- addJellyfinConnection now reuses the live client when the connection is
unchanged (token, deviceId, URL set), matching the existing Plex
refreshTokensForProfile behavior; material changes still recreate it.
- Cancelled requests are classified end-to-end: the client's
treat-as-empty helpers rethrow cancellations, and the aggregation
fan-outs report cancelledServerIds alongside succeededServerIds.
- A fetch pass in which zero servers succeeded is never authoritative:
it keeps existing content instead of wiping it (also fixes the
pre-existing blanking of home/sidebar on a totally failed refresh),
stays in loading while disrupted (cancellation or binding in flight),
and only commits loaded-empty on a settled failure.
Keep a running companion-remote host's crypto identity in sync with the
active profile: subscribe to PlexHome/connection/join streams and rebuild
auth contexts (restarting the broadcast when they change) so a removed
home user or revoked borrowed connection stops controlling the host.
Serialize host start/stop/crypto-rebuild through a lifecycle lock, clean
up peer subscriptions before re-listening, and guard the replaced-client
onDone against clobbering the new client's session. Drop the context.mounted
guards that aborted an app-level host start, fix the DiscoveryView
init-flash/stuck-on-throw, and delete the dead initialize*Crypto helpers.
