Sleeping the device mid-video with "Ask for profile on app open" enabled
left the app wedged on an unresponsive Choose Profile screen (Nvidia
Shield). The picker is pushed on the root navigator, but the player's
focus self-heal only consulted its own nested profile-session route, so
it yanked D-pad focus back behind the picker whenever it lost it.
Route currency now walks every enclosing navigator (isRouteChainCurrent)
before the player reclaims focus, primes loading-phase navigation focus,
or claims the surface on window focus. The resume-time prompt is also
skipped entirely while a video player is active: waking mid-stream
resumes the stream instead of stacking the picker over the session.

Plex Discover's hub, search, and related endpoints ignore includeGuids,
so items opened from those rows carried no tmdb id and the Request
action never appeared — only watchlist items (whose endpoint does
return Guids) could be requested. The gate was frozen in initState from
the row item; it now reads the detail-enriched item, whose metadata
fetch does bring the tmdb id.

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.
HEVC files played through the mpv backend on the Nvidia Shield show a
solid blue screen with audio: under hwdec=mediacodec, gpu-next samples
the decoder output as a samplerExternalOES that libplacebo declares in
both shader stages, and the Tegra GLES linker rejects the pair ("struct
type mismatch between shaders for uniform"), failing every frame. The
in-chain gpu fallback never engages because gpu-next initializes fine,
and mpv/libplacebo master reproduce it unchanged.
DV reshaping — the reason gpu-next exists on Android — only happens
under software decode, so offer gpu-next exactly there and keep the
legacy gpu VO for hardware sessions on both the primary mpv backend and
the ExoPlayer fallback core.

Searching a name shared by a movie, a show, and audio drowns the wanted
item in episode and track rows. The search screen now offers kind chips
(All, Movies, TV Shows, ...) above the results; chips derive from the
pre-rank candidate pool, and selecting one re-ranks that kind's
candidates with the full display budget, so a kind crowded out of the
trimmed All view still surfaces everything the servers returned for it.
Chip switches never refetch, and the filter falls back to All when a
refined query no longer returns its kind.

There was no way to tell from the detail screen that a movie or episode
has multiple versions (theatrical/extended cuts, 1080p/4K encodes); the
only entry point was the hidden Play Version item in the overflow menu.
The Play button now becomes a Material 3 Expressive split button when
the item carries more than one version and its server is reachable: the
main segment keeps plain Play (which already resumes the remembered
version), and a narrower chevron segment runs the existing Play Version
flow (version picker, quality picker when the backend can transcode,
preference save). The flow itself is extracted from the context menu
into a shared promptAndPlayVersion helper, and FocusableActionBar gains
per-action spacingBefore so the joined pair can sit tighter than the
rest of the row. Transcode-only quality picking stays in the overflow
menu so the chevron keeps signaling a real version choice.

Changing playback speed, shader preset, aspect ratio, or a sync offset in
the player always rewrote the global default, so a show watched at 1.5x
forced 1.5x onto movies, an Anime4K pick followed the user into
live-action libraries, and a file-specific subtitle offset leaked onto the
next title.
Each of those settings now has a scope under Settings > Video Playback >
Remember Player Changes: don't save, everywhere (default, pre-existing
behavior), per library, or per show/movie. Player writes route through the
configured scope; playback start and in-place item changes resolve the
value for the current item, falling back to the global default. Items
without the needed identity (live TV placeholders, Jellyfin/Emby downloads
without a stamped library) keep the global behavior. Resolution consults
only the configured scope, so entries saved under a previous scope become
inert instead of shadowing the new one.

On iOS and Apple TV the lock screen, Control Center, and iPhone remote card only offered previous/next track for video, so the transport buttons restarted the episode or jumped to the next one instead of skipping a few seconds.
MediaControlsManager suppressed the MPRemoteCommandCenter skip commands on all Darwin platforms because they displace the next/previous buttons — the right call for music, the wrong one for video. The suppression is now a per-surface policy: the video player opts in with preferSkipOverTrackButtons and advertises the in-player small-skip step (seekTimeSmall, default 10s) via setSkipIntervals, while music keeps next/previous as its lock-screen transport. Skip events already routed through MediaControlRouter to _seekRelative on every platform, so the OS-echoed interval drives the actual seek.
close#1994
On Fire TV, invoking Alexa and dismissing its overlay popped the profile
picker over a still-playing session: MainScreen treated every resumed
lifecycle event as an app open and re-applied "ask for profile on open".
The Alexa overlay only produces inactive -> resumed, which the handler
could not tell apart from a real return to the foreground.
Track the deepest lifecycle state since the last resume in a small gate
(ProfileSelectionResumeGate): only a genuine backgrounding (hidden,
paused, or detached) arms the prompt for the next resume. This also
keeps iOS working, where returning from the background arrives as
hidden -> inactive -> resumed.

Artist pages showed one flat album grid, unlike Plex's own clients.
Plex listing rows never carry Format/Subformat tags (even with
resolveTags=1), so fetchArtistDiscography follows the unchanged album
listing with one batched /library/metadata/{ids} request - whose rows
do include the tags - and classifies each album individually
(EP/Single, then live, then compilation, case-insensitively). A failed
tag fetch degrades to the flat list, and single-album artists skip the
lookup entirely. Jellyfin/Emby carry no album taxonomy on the wire and
return a single albums group.
The artist screen renders one titled section per non-empty group
(single-group artists keep the flat grid), with the grid focus index
space offset per section so D-pad traversal crosses section
boundaries.
The guide replaced itself with a bare spinner on every window change,
unmounting the day-picker anchor and the guide focus node - after one
day or time change the pickers silently no-oped and the remote went
dead. Picking a day also applied nothing by itself: the window only
moved after the second (time-slot) menu, so backing out of it read as
'the day picker does not work'.
The grid now stays mounted during in-session reloads behind a light
loading overlay, a day pick re-anchors the window immediately (the slot
menu is an optional refinement), D-pad SELECT arms the key-up
suppressor before opening the menu, and the day chip uses the existing
'Tomorrow' translation.
Plex Live TV lost DVB subtitles when 2.10 moved the live path to HLS
(#1983): the transcode starts with subtitles=none, which drops a
tuner's bitmap subtitle streams from the output entirely - unlike
in-band CEA captions, they are separate elementary streams.
The tune response now surfaces the part's embedded bitmap subtitle
streams as selectable tracks in the player's subtitle menu. Picking one
points the part's server-side selection at that stream and rebuilds the
live transcode with subtitles=burn, preserving the time-shift position.
Off stays the default so tuner captions are never auto-burned (#1590),
and channels without bitmap streams keep the native track list. The
selection survives stream recovery by re-mapping onto the re-tuned
session's streams and resets on channel zap. Jellyfin live sessions
record subtitle selection as intentionally unsupported: their one
negotiated URL has no rebuild to deliver it through.
MemoryLogOutput extended LogOutput but was never wired as a Logger output (storage happens in the printer); DeletionNotifier/WatchStateNotifier's forServer/forItem filtered streams and WatchStateEvent.mediaType had no production consumers (tests now filter .stream directly); context.hiddenLibraries/profileSettings and toPlexUrl had zero call sites; MonoTokens.splashFactory was never read; OptimizedMediaImage's enableTranscoding/cacheKey chains, FocusableMediaCard.width/height/forceGridMode, TvBrowseRail's constant-zero gap functions, and media_image_helper's scaleFactor were never varied by any caller. The sha1 LRU stays (rebuild-hot artwork URLs); TvRailTrailing.none and the mono-theme copyWith stay live (lerp delegates to copyWith). Also carries the MusicPlayContext.id argument drops in the music screens and remaining sweep test updates.
plex_client.selectStreams' allParts=false branch, download_manager's both-branches-true conditional and unscoped getAllPinnedMetadata tail, playback_source_resolver.preferOffline, and update_service's unreachable catches had no reachable path; PlaybackSession.result/streamHeaders, PlaybackContext.clientScopeId, FileInfoStreams.audioStream, PrefsRepairOutcome.settingsReset/sessionsSalvaged, and JellyfinLiveSessionTracker.playSessionId were write-only; PlexConnection.directUrl, PlexServer.isOnline plus its parse-and-persist presence field, SafStorageService.createDirectory, FullscreenStateManager.stopMonitoring/dispose, the play_queue_launcher re-export shim, track-selection's constant params, and PlexApiCache.unpinForOffline/isPinnedRatingKey (matching the earlier Jellyfin removal) were dead API.
classifyPosition's return enum was discarded by its only production caller (rearm is the side effect that matters); the latch's tolerance/retry knobs were never tuned; _loadAdjacentEpisodes' result was unread by all three callers; countsAsApplied carried a subsumed disjunct and _syncMediaControlsAvailability a stale-generation guard with no suspension point before it; _SettingsView.audioSync/subtitleSync could never be current (both routes early-return into the sync bar); PerformanceStats.dvRpuOutputTooSmall/dvPlaybackReason and ContentStrip.chaptersLoaded were written but never read.
plex_pin_auth_flow's QR knobs, ProfileNameField's navigation params, MusicDetailHeader.wideArtworkSize, and _buildReorderableList's bool were never passed; DownloadType.manage was never constructed; MediaContextMenu.onTap was declared but never invoked — removed with its four card passes (each card's own gesture handlers stay); the pin dialog's obscure chain was always true and _PinKey.label's icon branches unreachable; libraries_screen._isInitialLoad was write-only; LiveTvActionsMixin loses dead findChannel (the generic parameter stays — required by the on-clause, the report was wrong); add_jellyfin's focus-map removal branch ran only against an empty map; the recommended tab's hub-key null fallback was dead behind _ensureHubKeys. media_card also loses its always-false seasonal-rank comparison from the CatalogRankScope removal.
hidden_libraries' constructor always seeds _initFuture, so ensureInitialized's ?? _initialize() fallback could never run (field now late final); _loadLibrariesInternal returned a bool no caller read; OfflineModeProvider.refresh() had zero call sites; ExploreScreen's Refreshable application was dispatched by nobody (only the discover tab and library tabs are dispatched); the discover null-serverId branch stays — the TV spotlight resolver passes null items during initial load.
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.
The screen's player stream subscriptions were enumerated by hand in four places (re-wire, rollback, dispose, plus a parallel nulling list) kept in sync only by prose — _cancelPlayerStreamSubscriptions is now the single cancel-and-null authority, living beside the fields. PlayerChromeFocusTarget was a one-value enum with request/consume plumbing, now a bool with identical post-frame consumption timing. The desktop tap and controls-overlay tap duplicated the click-toggles-playback/double-click-fullscreen contract around shared state, now one helper. SyncOffsetControl shipped two layouts of which production only ever rendered compact — the full layout existed solely for tests, which now cover the shipped layout. TrackControlsState's never-non-null onLoadSeekTimes/onSyncOffsetChanged sheet-compat callbacks are gone.
TV state had two interchangeable entry points — PlatformDetector.isTV/isAppleTV and the raw TvDetectionService.*Sync accessors — with call sites split arbitrarily between them. App code now goes through the facade; the raw accessors document that they exist for the facade and tests.
persistAndBindConnection's addToManager/visibleServerId parameters and post-commit manager phase had no production caller (the Jellyfin flow defers runtime pickup to the profile binder) — the function is void now. A failed Plex account add threw a StateError that PlexPinAuthFlow re-rendered as a raw 'Bad state:' string beside the already-rendered inline error; the flow's normal return already stops the spinner, so the inline error is the single surface.
The profile picker requested first-tile focus twice (FocusableWrapper.autofocus plus a one-shot post-frame requestFocus for the same node) — autofocus alone remains, verified by the picker's D-pad tests. The end-session/try/catch-resume skeleton was copied across deleteProfile, the Plex sign-out, and connection removal; withEndedProfileSession now owns the pause/recover scaffolding while each flow keeps its own success-path resume decision and error policy.
The audio-playlist play flow, the playlist download flow (including its inline MediaItem synthesis), the delete-with-confirm flow, and the fetch-artist-then-navigate flow each existed twice — once in MediaContextMenu and once in the playlist/album/now-playing screens, with 'Match PlaylistDetailScreen' comments standing in for shared code. They now live in music_navigation.dart and download_utils.dart with per-caller strings preserved; the menu's collection/playlist download handlers fold into one parameterized handler, its duplicated sync/download menu tree is built once, and the generic picker dialogs move to collection_picker_dialog.dart (pure move).
The pause/resume/ticker state machine (three gates, lifecycle observer, TickerMode subscription, timer sync) was triplicated across the What's On, Recordings, and Guide tabs — now LiveTvRefreshMixin, with the guide's drift catch-up layered on its hooks and the lifecycle test asserting the same contract against the shared implementation. Six hand-rolled multi-server loops share forEachLiveTvServer (the channel/favorites loaders deliberately iterate per DVR entry and say so). Recordings' Completer-based load drain became the same whenComplete coalescing shape the screen's channel loader already uses.
LibraryFilterSortLoader had one call site that constructed it with a constant client resolver and bypassed it for MediaBrowser anyway; the Plex branch now loads both futures inline with types instead of casts. LibrariesScreen's ItemUpdatable application ended in an empty no-op that would have burnt a network fetch had anything ever called it. The chips-bar grouping sheet re-built the browse-options grouping page's chrome by hand; both paths now render the same BottomSheetPageScaffold page.
TvosMenuPolicyPublisher batched an idempotent fire-and-forget publish behind a transaction-depth counter that could never exceed one across its three non-nesting call sites — the call sites now publish directly and the pure predicate keeps its test coverage. AppleTvRemoteTouchService exposed 14 injectable knobs of which only six are exercised anywhere (verified per knob); the other eight are private constants or internal construction now.
The catalog detail screen and the card badges each kept their own enum-to-i18n switches; the genuinely shared mappings (season name, rank scope, request state, status/format/relation labels) now live in catalog_labels.dart, while badge precedence and the deliberately different availability/4k wording stay local with comments naming the divergence.
The downloaded-episodes-for-a-season filter+sort was written out three times in media_detail_screen (with drifting show-id expressions, preserved per call site), and the failed/cancelled download branches in the action buttons duplicated the same six-step retry pipeline verbatim. One helper each.
The auto-remove-watched-downloads rule existed twice (DownloadProvider's sweep and OfflineWatchProvider's single-item copy) — the kind/completed/delete/title core now lives once on DownloadProvider, with the watched judgment staying per caller because the offline path fires before metadata can reflect a local mark. OfflineWatchProvider drops five members with no production callers (isSyncing, getPendingSyncCount, isWatched, getViewOffset, getEpisodesWithWatchStatus) plus the sync-service listener that only served them. The downloads screen's three verbatim 'suppressAutoFocus flipped — focus the first item' didUpdateWidget blocks are now one mixin.
One server with overlapping libraries (movies in both an HD and a 4K
library, shows duplicated per language) returns search results that
cannot be told apart, forcing users to open each copy to find the
right one (#1970).
Each search row now carries a source line under the summary: backend
icon, server name, and library name, shown whenever the owning server
has more than one library. Plex rows name their section inline, with
sectionKey-only rows back-filled from the loaded libraries; Jellyfin
and Emby send no library field on search hits, so search always runs
the per-library scoped fan-out that previously only served
hidden-library exclusion and stamps every hit with its library. The
Jellyfin detail lookup adds a best-effort /Items/{id}/Ancestors stamp
so full metadata stays attributed, row refreshes merge instead of
dropping the stamp, and the mapper no longer misreads SeriesStudio or
ParentId as library identity.
Episode rows trade one summary line for the source line so the
wide-thumb row keeps its height, and the badge paints slightly below
the line-box center to sit on the text's optical middle.
close#1970
Several Play entry points gave no feedback while their network round
trips ran: a show or season Play button silently awaited a seasons
fetch (with a 10 s completer window) and a first-episode fetch, and
Plex collection/playlist launches showed no spinner at all. Where a
spinner did exist, the first request was gated on the dialog's first
frame instead of running concurrently with it.
Extract executeWithLoading's dialog plumbing into
ScopedLoadingDialogController (mount-aware dismissal, idempotent,
never pops a foreign route) and reuse it for the show/season Play
path. Start the launcher operation before awaiting the dialog frame so
the first round trip overlaps the render, and show the loading
indicator for Plex list launches too.
The playback data resolve — the one network request that must land
before open() — was kicked off only after the SharedPreferences load,
the Windows display-mode sync, the music-session teardown in
claimVideo(), Player construction, and (Android/Exo) a native
setLogLevel, so none of that setup overlapped the round trip.
Move the kickoff to immediately after the settings reads; the resolve
depends only on settings and provider lookups, so display sync, player
construction, and the whole mpv property chain now hide behind the
network latency instead of preceding it.
Also remove redundant work elsewhere on the start path: memoize
PlayerAndroid.getHeapSize (asked again on every open for an immutable
device value), skip the ten subtitle-style settings reads on mpv
backends where setSubtitleStyle is a no-op, and stop navigateToVideoPlayer
awaiting SettingsService.getInstance twice per launch — the external-player
read now sits behind the supportsExternalPlayers guard.
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
Enabling audio passthrough on macOS 2.14.0 silenced every AC3/EAC3/DTS
item: the macOS player now pins ao=coreaudio, where audio-spdif redirects
to coreaudio_exclusive. That needs an IEC61937-capable device Mac setups
essentially never have, and with a restricted ao list mpv has no PCM
fallback, so the failed AO init stalls playback with no audio. The toggle
never delivered real bitstreaming on macOS anyway (2.13 decoded through
AVPlayer), so stop offering and applying it there.
_startPlayback and _reloadMediaInPlace each inlined the same ~180-line open sequence around the playback_open.dart helpers — frame-rate prep, display priming, startup gate, external-subtitle plan, open, track manager build, track apply, gate release — with comments instructing that the two copies be kept in sync, and they had already drifted (live _isTranscoding vs result.isTranscoding, Watch Together attach vs detach/reattach).
The sequence now lives once in _openResolvedMedia; the genuine divergences are explicit parameters and caller hooks (transcoding source, WT handling, session-commit boundary, automotive start deferral, resume timing), so a future change to open sequencing lands in both flows by construction. Every await boundary and staleness guard keeps its original position in both flows.
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.
profiles_view.dart rebuilt the exact merged-profile view ActiveProfileProvider already computes — the same four source streams, the same merge/avatar derivation, plus a hand-rolled combineLatest4 — and the profile switch screen was its only consumer while already reading the provider for activeId.
The screen now renders from the provider (new connectionsByProfile/connectionsById/plexHomeByConnectionId getters) and gates loading on provider initialization; visibleProfileConnections moved to profile_merge.dart for profile_detail_screen; profiles_view.dart is deleted. The switch-screen tests initialize the provider up front like boot does, using a timer-less PlexHomeService subclass so start()'s periodic refresh timer cannot trip the widget-test pending-timer invariant; the deleted pipeline's merge assertions were ported to profile_merge_test and active_profile_provider_test.
Media buttons on HID remotes (USB/Bluetooth keyboards, common on Android
TV) are delivered as key events to the focused window instead of the
MediaSession, so they only worked while the app was backgrounded. A
global handler now routes play/pause, next/previous, stop, and
fast-forward/rewind to the live music session anywhere in the app and
consumes the key burst, so a press can neither leak to Android's
fallback MediaSession dispatch nor start a focused library item. Same
lifecycle as the OS media session; video playback never coexists with it
because claiming video disposes the music session first.

Shows whose Season 0 holds aftershow featurettes (e.g. House of the
Dragon "Inside the Episode") share air dates with the episodes they
accompany, so the air-date interleave from #1416 queued them between
regular episodes: playing S03E04 offered S00E76/S00E84 as up next.
Air date alone cannot separate canon Specials from featurettes, so
Specials placement is now a three-way preference, defaulting to
"follow server order":
- respectServer: Plex keeps its server-built /allLeaves queue (aired
order, Specials interleaved, as before); the Jellyfin queue now
preserves the /Shows/{id}/Episodes response order, which is
Jellyfin's native watch order — Specials placed only via explicit
AirsBefore* metadata per the server-wide DisplaySpecialsWithinSeasons
setting (the endpoint ignores SortBy except Random). Client-side
selections with no server order to respect (offline next/prev,
download "next N", offline OnDeck) fall back to Specials-last.
- airDate: the #1416 aired interleave on every surface.
- specialsLast: Specials strictly after the regular seasons (#1414);
Plex builds its show queue from /children.
4443b761 staged the system-back path (strip/fullscreen/hide/exit), so on
Android a back with the controls visible hid them instead of closing the
player. The PlayerNavigationCoordinator now takes an exitPlayerBeforeChrome
policy; the player enables it on mobile, restoring immediate exit on Back
while TV/desktop keep the staged chrome handling.
The display-agnostic texture renderer restored by 9cdfe759 is deleted
again, this time for good: it is a second, SDR-only rendering stack
(isolated EGL context on Flutter's display plus EGL-image handoff) kept
alive solely to host sessions that cannot bring up the Wayland plane -
X11/XWayland or a failed plane bootstrap - and it was the source of the
native lifecycle and EGL state-churn fixes of the 9f2e0507 era. Linux
video now requires a Wayland compositor; a session that cannot host the
plane fails initialization with VIDEO_PLANE_UNSUPPORTED instead of
silently rendering through the second stack.
Reverts the restore commit's machinery: mpv_texture.cc/.h and
mpv_gpu_bootstrap.cc/.h deleted, the plugin's texture-registrar,
bootstrap, and waitForVideoReady paths removed, MpvPlayer's texture-mode
render-context API dropped, and the Dart-side renderMode setting, its
settings tile, translation keys, and the Player textureId member
withdrawn. The #1874 HDR diagnostic work is unaffected.
2.13.0 deleted the display-agnostic EGL/Flutter-texture renderer and made
the native Wayland plane the only path, hard-rejecting every session that
cannot host one - X11, XWayland (SteamOS Gaming Mode runs native apps
through Gamescope's XWayland), or a plane whose EGL bootstrap failed. This
restores the 2.11.0 texture path from git history as the fallback:
- Re-add mpv_texture.cc/.h and mpv_gpu_bootstrap.cc/.h (2.11.0 verbatim):
an FlTextureGL whose populate renders mpv into an offscreen FBO sampled
by Flutter via an EGL image.
- MpvPlayer gains the texture-mode render-context API (InitRenderContext,
HasRenderContext, GetEglDisplay/Context, Render(w,h,fbo)) beside the
plane's InitRenderContextForSurface/RenderToSurface. The isolated ES 2.0
context on Flutter's display and the X11 display param are exactly the
2.11.0 configuration hardware decode demonstrably worked in.
- initialize now tries the plane first and falls back to the texture path
when it cannot be brought up, returning the texture id (Dart's 2.11.0
'result is int' contract) with waitForVideoReady gating playback until
the GPU bootstrap settles. Both paths share one mpv core, so the
plane/texture decision precedes render-context creation.
- hdr-enabled/hdr-tone-mapping are intercepted in texture mode (no plane,
no HDR); the HDR toggle hides itself via isHDRSupported.
- New Linux setting 'Video rendering mode' (Automatic / Texture) forces
the fallback - the user-visible workaround for plane-only trouble and
for the hwdec interop regression, plus translations in all locales.
SDR only on the fallback, matching 2.11.0; the plane path is unchanged.
mpv 0.40's OPT_COLOR parser rejects anything but #RRGGBB/#AARRGGBB, so a
stored subtitle colour that does not parse made mpv refuse the write with
MPV_ERROR_PROPERTY_FORMAT — and the bare await in _runPlayerInitializationAttempt
turned that into the initialization error screen on every open. Subtitle
styling, volume-max, and the pre-open defaults (start/pause/sid) are now
sanitized (colours canonicalized to hex with fallback to the default) and
non-fatal, matching the existing hdr-enabled tolerance policy: a refused
preference write must never become "this session cannot play video".
The user mpv.conf editor is applied as runtime mpv_set_property writes, and
vo/gpu-context/gpu-api were not withheld, so a vo=gpu-next line re-created
mpv's output as a separate uncontrollable window and orphaned the embedded
render context. Add the VO family to the Linux-owned property set with a
key-aware skip log, a native reject for vo != libmpv on the video core (the
render API is OpenGL-only; gpu-next is windowed by construction), and a hint
in the mpv.conf editor explaining why, with translations across all locales.
On Fire OS, standby never freezes a backgrounded app, so the paused
heartbeats that kept a suspended session "alive and resumable" pinned it
in the server dashboard indefinitely. The live session bought nothing:
the restore path already performs a fresh playback decision.
When the TV background grace expires, stop the heartbeat timer (its
paused tick also keeps a Plex transcode session alive) and report the
session stopped before releasing the native pipeline, since stop()
resets the player state the report reads. Standby entry can drop Wi-Fi
into power-save and mutations never fail over, so a failed terminal
report is redelivered on a bounded schedule, gated on actual backend
delivery and on the suspend still standing so a restored session is
never reported stopped.

On TV, a movie carrying a full set of attributed scores pushed the resolution and audio labels past the right edge of the detail metadata line, which silently clipped them.
The line now sheds its least useful parts when it overflows -- surplus rating badges first, then the whole ratings slot, then quality labels -- instead of hard-clipping the tail. It also leads with the year instead of the redundant "Movie"/"TV Show" label, matching the desktop hero chip order, and the Discover spotlight line gets the same fitting. Branded badge icons are pinned to their SVG viewBox aspect so the fit is measured exactly.

Physical-keyboard Escape at root Home now exits window fullscreen on

press-back-again quit — so Escape aimed at fullscreen can't close the
app. Remotes, gamepad B, and system back keep the double-press exit.

An EOF-driven advance does one cold metadata fetch with a single endpoint
failover and no transient retry. When connectivity to the server drops for
the ~20s that fetch needs (issue log: both plex.direct endpoints connect
timed out, then the running stream's own TLS socket died), the reload
rolled back to the finished episode's last frame: black screen, progress
bar parked at the end, no way forward but the transport controls - while
pressing Next by hand seconds later succeeded. The per-item metadata cache
row could not absorb the blip either, because adjacency comes from queue
containers, so the next episode's row is cold at the exact moment the
transition needs it.
Three changes:
- A failed in-place reload now records its classified failure reason, and
an advance that ran with the completion latch set re-presents the Play
Next prompt when that reason is serverUnavailable. With auto-play
enabled the countdown re-fires the advance up to two times before the
prompt goes manual-only; Watch Together sessions and mid-episode Next
presses (whose rolled-back stream is still valid) keep the existing
handling. playNextRetryPresentation owns the decision and is unit-tested.
- Committing adjacency now best-effort prefetches the next episode's full
metadata row through fetchItem, which writes the exact row playback
initialization falls back to on both backends (Plex: same cache key and
full playback query shape; Jellyfin: the /Users/{uid}/Items/{id} row the
playback bundle reads). A warm row turns a blip at the transition into a
normal start.
- JellyfinClient.fetchItem's documented "pure transport error -> cached
row" fallback was dead code: the HTTP layer wraps transport errors into
MediaServerHttpException, which the first catch rethrew unconditionally.
Status-less, non-cancelled failures now take the fallback; answered
requests (401/403/5xx) and cancellations surface unchanged.
Verified with new contract tests (Plex: cold row fails transiently ->
fetchItem primes -> the same failing fetch serves playback from cache;
Jellyfin: primed row survives a transport failure into fetchPlaybackBundle)
plus the full test/screens/video_player and test/services suites and
analyzer parity.
close#1867
A quality switch or resumed open at a nonzero position sent offset=T on the
HLS start URL, waited for the readiness probe to touch the segment at T, and
then had mpv seek to T anyway. mpv's stream probing always reads segment zero
first, and a Plex segment request is a seek, so the transcoder was dragged
through seek(T) -> seek(0) -> seek(T) within seconds of the open. Measured
against PMS 1.43, a segment response that races such a restart can be left
open with headers sent and no data or error, and ffmpeg's HLS segment reads
have no default timeout, so playback buffered forever after the first frame
(issue #1859). Starting the session plain and letting the player's start=T
request the resume segment performs the one unavoidable transcoder seek.
The offset request parameter, the readiness probe, and the probe-only
getStatus HTTP helper are removed; live TV time-shift keeps its own offset
path. Transcode opens now also set an explicit network-timeout with
demuxer-level reconnect options: mpv's stream-layer reconnect settings never
reach ffmpeg's HLS segment fetches, so a silently hung segment response now
times out after 20s and is re-requested on a fresh connection instead of
buffering indefinitely. Verified against a live PMS (resume plays from the
requested position) and a stall harness (hung segment re-requested at 20s
with no content skip).
