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.

The three browse chips opened bottom sheets on every form factor. On
desktop platforms they now anchor dropdown popups to the chip: grouping
is a radio menu, sort shows the direction on the active field
(re-selecting toggles it) plus Clear, and filters use a two-level menu
with per-category values and an All row to clear one category. Phones
and TV keep the existing sheets.
Opening Plezy on a TV box resumes the resident process rather than
cold-starting it, so the Libraries grid kept showing the in-memory
content from the previous session -- hours stale -- until the user
switched libraries and back. Nothing on the resume path refreshed tab
content.
MainScreen now latches genuine backgrounding and, on a resume more than
five minutes later, refreshes LibrariesProvider and sweeps the content
tabs through each screen's in-place Refreshable.refresh() -- skipped
while offline, before startup priming, during playback, or with no
connected servers. LibrariesScreen.refresh() now refetches the selected
library's loaded tabs (the toolbar refresh action) instead of
re-selecting the saved library, which never reloaded them because tab
widgets only reload when the library's globalKey changes.
close#2043
Square-card (music) grids had zero delegate spacing - the only
separation was each card's internal 3px padding, and square shapes are
excluded from the full-card spacing path, so playlist and album tiles
sat nearly edge to edge. Square grids now get an 8px cross/main gutter
(automotive keeps its larger spacing); poster, list, and full-card
layouts are unchanged.
On TV, pressing UP in the library Collections or Playlists grid snapped
the list back to the top and dropped focus on the tab chips, making long
lists impossible to navigate. Default directional focus traversal scrolls
the found card into view via Scrollable.ensureVisible, whose
outer-scrollable pass routes through the NestedScrollView coordinator and
resets the inner grid position to zero on every UP press.
Give the shared paginated card grid explicit per-card d-pad navigation,
matching the browse tab: managed per-index focus nodes, row/column moves
that request focus directly, first-row UP to the tab bar, and
first-column LEFT to the sidebar. Focus changes now scroll only through
FocusableWrapper's delta-based auto-scroll.
close#1977
BaseLibraryTabState documented an abstract loadData() that every tab "must implement", but three of the four tabs override loadItems() entirely and carried never-invoked empty loadData stubs; only the recommended tab exercised the contract, so the class docs described an extension surface that did not exist.
loadItems() is now the one overridable hook, and the shared load transaction (generation tracking, localized error mapping, post-frame onDataLoaded) lives once in the protected runLoadTransaction helper that the recommended tab and the focus tests route through. No tab's load behavior changes.
The library quick picker and the libraries dropdown each hand-rolled their own BackendBadge + server-name label rendering with divergent show-when policies: the picker only labeled libraries whose titles collided, so a uniquely-titled library on a multi-server list showed its server in the dropdown but not in the picker.
Both surfaces now share library_server_label.dart — one label widget, one grouping loop over groupLibrariesByFirstAppearance, and one policy: group headers whenever the visible list spans more than one server, per-row labels only in ungrouped lists. The picker's duplicate-title heuristic is gone; its test now pins the unified policy.
Sheets rendered at the host's maximum height regardless of content, so a
one-item player queue or a two-track picker filled ~75% of a desktop window
with empty space.
BottomSheetPageScaffold now always lays out Column(mainAxisSize: .min) plus
Flexible(child:), and each sheet body shrink-wraps its own scrollable. The
scaffold's shrinkWrap flag is gone: its old true branch put the child on an
unbounded axis, where an over-tall list overflowed instead of clamping and
scrolling. Measured on a 1600x1000 window, the chapter sheet goes from 750px
to 118px for one chapter and the two-column track sheet from 750px to 154px
for one audio and one subtitle track, both still clamping at the cap.
Add SheetSplitColumns for the three side-by-side sheet layouts. A bare
VerticalDivider has no intrinsic height, so it inflated those rows to the cap
on its own; the rule now paints from a Positioned.fill that cannot size the
Stack. IntrinsicHeight is not an option because a Viewport has no intrinsics.
Because sheets are bottom-anchored, a content-driven height moves the sheet's
top edge and everything above the change point. Three surfaces opt out for
that reason and say so at the call site: SubtitleSearchSheet and its language
picker keep filling, since both refilter under an autofocused field;
FiltersBottomSheet holds the outgoing page's height through its loading
transient; and RatingBottomSheet no longer hides MAL/AniList rows
asynchronously, which used to slide live rating controls down two rows several
hundred ms after open. Wrap the shared StateMessageWidget at the filters sheet
boundary rather than editing a widget with 33 filling call sites.
The host gains an AnimatedSize keyed per sheet session so nested pushes ease
while a replacing show adopts its own height, a 720px absolute height ceiling
on desktop windows only, and a min(max(25%, 96px), 60%) drag-dismiss threshold
so short sheets neither close on a nudge nor become undismissable.
Add videoControls.noAudioDevicesAvailable so the audio output page shows a
placeholder instead of a bare header while devices load.
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.
- PaginatedCardGridTabState: the collections and playlists tabs were 95%
identical; they now supply only pageSize/fetchPage/idOf instead of each
duplicating the grid, memo, inflation budget and focus wiring.
- EtagCachedRemoteStore: the anime-lists and fribb mapping stores now share
one download/cache/isolate-parse/conditional-GET lifecycle.
- FocusableTileStateMixin manages its own initState/didUpdateWidget/dispose
instead of requiring every caller to forward three lifecycle hooks.
Also drops unused ServerCapabilities entries and dead code in
focusable_list_tile and music/track_row.
Collapse duplicated setup across the suite into six shared helpers under
test/test_helpers/ and rewrite the 28 suites that were open-coding it:
http_fixtures.dart jsonResponse() for http.Response JSON stubs
library_tab_scaffold.dart pumps library tabs under their required ancestors
multi_server_fixtures.dart MultiServerProvider wiring for widget tests
playback_report_fakes.dart PlaybackReportCall + fake report sinks
profile_stack.dart production-shaped profile dependency graph
theme.dart testMonoTokens for fast-settling widget tests
Net -1245 lines with no change in coverage or assertions.
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.
