ffmpeg's reconnect loop deliberately retries 503 without bound (#1520), so a
server that keeps refusing the stream at open time left a silent black screen:
ExoPlayer fell back to MPV, MPV reconnected forever, and no error ever reached
the screen. A new open-phase watchdog arms on the first 503 seen before any
frame renders and, after 20s without one, synthesizes a server-http-503 error
that shows an actionable dialog. Mid-stream 503s and live TV keep their
existing ride-out paths.

"Delete from server" read identically for an episode, a season and a
whole show: same menu label, same dialog title, same red button, and a
body that named nothing. The menu header did not disambiguate either,
because MediaItem.displayTitle collapses an episode to its show name.
A reporter deleted a whole series from the detail hero's ⋮ believing it
acted on the episode he had highlighted, and the confirmation gave him
nothing to catch it with. Every one of those strings now names the kind,
and the body names the exact item — show, season and episode number, and
episode title.
Deleting a single item also destroyed files the confirmation never
mentioned: a Plex multi-episode file (S01E01-E03.mkv) takes its other
episodes with it, and a split item takes every part. The dialog now
reports that up front and, on success, emits deletion events for the
siblings the server destroyed so their rows do not linger.
The scope behind that warning is only asserted when it is established.
MediaItem.allPartFiles drops parts with no path, so a non-empty set
proves nothing about the ones it filtered out; a version is trusted only
when every part reports a file. A browse row that omits paths is missing
evidence rather than proof of a distinct file, so both the target and
each candidate sibling fall back to the detail endpoint before any
conclusion — otherwise a thin row, including the file-less part
PlexMappers fabricates for an empty payload, would look like a server
that withholds paths. When the answer cannot be established the dialog
says so in an error-tinted block and its button reads "Delete anyway",
separating a transient probe failure from a server that never sends
paths. It deliberately does not refuse: Plex withholds paths from
restricted users the server itself authorizes to delete, so failing
closed would take the feature away from them permanently.
Probing a season stays bounded in both directions. Siblings resolve one
at a time, so a season of thin rows cannot fan out a detail request per
episode, and expiry cancels the walk rather than merely abandoning it —
`Future.timeout` completes the future the caller awaits but leaves the
work behind it running, which would resume on the next sibling once the
outstanding request answered. A cooperative flag is checked before each
lookup, so at most the one already in flight outlives the deadline; the
neutral client exposes no abort handle for item lookups, so that one
cannot be recalled.
The spinner covering the probe was only barrierDismissible, which does
not stop system back. Back dismissed it and the cleanup pop then closed
the screen underneath, dropping the user out of the detail page
mid-flow. It now traps back, matching the non-dismissible contract its
own doc claims, which also repairs the log uploader and the file-info
sheet.
Coverage splits by what each layer owns. The dialog, its copy and the
DELETE wiring are backend-neutral and stay in the menu widget tests.
Plex — the backend multi-episode files actually come from — gets the
resolver over a real PlexClient and a mocked transport: a row with no
media at all, scope recovered from /library/metadata/{id}, siblings and
paths from /children, a Part that names no file, a sibling whose path
never resolves, the request count a sixty-episode thin season may cost,
and the rating key the DELETE carries. Those are plain async tests
because the Plex metadata cache is a real database whose I/O the widget
tester's fake clock never drives. Deadline behaviour needs the opposite,
so it is pinned separately under fakeAsync against a gated fake client,
with no wall-clock waiting anywhere.

A 404 on the media stream means the server resolved the item but could not
open the file behind it — moved, deleted, or on storage that went away.
Jellyfin maps the resulting FileNotFoundException to 404, and PlaybackInfo
never stats the file, so negotiation succeeds and only the stream request
fails. Playback then died with a snackbar reading "Failed to open
[REDACTED_URL]" before popping the route, which tells the user nothing and
leaves nothing useful in a bug report.
Generalize the HTTP-500 log probe into PlayerError.httpStatusFromLog and
latch every status in fatalPlaybackHttpStatuses. Each latches on its own so
the 503 that stream-lavf-o deliberately retries cannot mask the fatal status
behind it. A 404 now raises a dedicated modal naming the cause and the fix.
On Android a 404 previously failed the "Response code: 500" string test and
fell through to the ExoPlayer→MPV fallback, showing "switching to compatible
player" before failing again on the same request. Read the real status off
HttpDataSource.InvalidResponseCodeException instead and skip the fallback:
an HTTP status is not a codec problem.
The aired-order rework can sweep correctly-placed Specials into "download
next N"; this toggle lets users opt out. Shown only for whole shows
(reusing FocusableSwitchListTile via an optional toggle on the shared
option-picker dialog), remembered across opens via a BoolPref
(default on = unchanged behavior). Filters Specials at the single
collect choke point (_collectPlayable), with a guard so explicitly
downloading the Specials season still queues its episodes.
