Jellyfin has no equivalent of Plex's bundled `?includeOnDeck=1`, so a show
detail open chained `/Shows/NextUp` behind the item fetch and the screen sat
on a spinner for both round trips. The second one is not needed to paint:
everything except the play button's episode label comes from the item.
`fetchItemWithOnDeck` now takes an `onItemReady` callback and invokes it as
soon as the item is known, when that is strictly before on-deck settles.
Plex returns both together and never invokes it.
Phone and desktop only. TV keeps its own reveal gate — `_isTvDetailReadyToReveal`
holds the foreground at opacity 0 until extras, related hubs, seasons and the
first episode page have all loaded, and those still run after the on-deck
lookup settles, so TV sees no change. Both halves are pinned by tests.
Measured on a remote Jellyfin server, 15 interleaved show-detail opens per
version: time to content 1264ms -> 1042ms (-18%), with the rest of the load
unchanged.
Seasons and extras deliberately still start after the whole lookup settles.
Starting them at the early paint measured worse (time to settled +21%)
because they contend with the on-deck request instead of overlapping it — the
same reason `/Shows/NextUp` is not fired in parallel with the item fetch.
That trade-off is also why TV was left alone rather than being unblocked by
moving those loads earlier.
Two ordering hazards the early paint introduces, both covered by
`media_detail_screen_test.dart`:
- The early call must not write on-deck. `_loadFullMetadata` runs again after
playback, and clearing there would blank the play button for the length of
the round trip. `onDeckSettled` marks the authoritative write, so a reload
that finds the series finished still clears it.
- A settled empty on-deck must not drop the episode-derived fallback that
`_ensureFallbackOnDeckEpisode` supplies.

Plezy rendered exactly one score per item. MediaRatingBadge._ratingDataFor
took `rating` and fell back to `audienceRating` only when it was null, so a
Plex movie carrying four attributed scores surfaced one, and which one was
whatever the server happened to put in the scalar slot. #1755 asked for a
setting to choose the source; showing all of them answers it without one.
The data was already on the wire and being thrown away. `/library/metadata/
{id}` returns a `Rating[]` child array — IMDb, both Rotten Tomatoes panels,
TMDB — with no extra query parameter, but PlexMetadataDto declared no field
for it, so json_serializable dropped the key. The identical parse already
existed in plex_catalog_source for the Explore tab and had simply never been
wired to library items.
Model the scores as a list rather than widening the scalar pair. The neutral
MediaItem gains `ratings`; PlexMediaItem loses audienceRating, ratingImage
and audienceRatingImage, which the list subsumes — Plex sends those images
on listings too, so the same field covers both response shapes and no caller
narrows to a backend type to read a score any more. CatalogRatingSource is
promoted to lib/media as MediaRatingSource instead of growing a second
near-identical type beside it, and plex_catalog_source's _ratingsFor becomes
the shared plexRatingSources so one implementation serves both paths. There
is no persistence to migrate: MediaItem.toJson has no production caller, the
offline path re-parses raw Plex JSON through the same mapper, and Plex's
audienceRating sort is server-supplied data, not a model read.
Cards and the dashboard still show fewer scores than detail screens, and
that part is a real Plex limit rather than a shortcut. Section listings send
only the scalar pair; includeRatings, includeElements=Rating,
includeFields=Rating, includeChildren and includeExtras were each probed
against a live server and none surfaced the array, while includeGuids=1
demonstrably does add Guid[] — the probe works, the parameter does not
exist. Hydrating every card would be one request per row, so listings render
whatever their own response carried, which is one or two attributed scores
rather than the single one they showed before.
Jellyfin has no per-source array at all: the server collapses whatever its
fetchers found into CommunityRating and CriticRating. CommunityRating's
provenance is unknowable from the DTO — TMDB vote_average, IMDb via OMDb or
a local NFO, last writer wins — so it stays the generic `audience` source
with no brand mark. CriticRating is the Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer as a
0-100 percent and is divided by ten explicitly rather than folded by
magnitude, because a Tomatometer of 9 means 9% and range-sniffing would have
promoted a rotten score to fresh. Photo rows are skipped, since Jellyfin
reuses CommunityRating for the EXIF 0-5 star.
The badges share one slot on every surface. On the phone hero the scores go
in a single pill because that chip row is a height-clipped Wrap and a chip
per source would push year, certification and runtime out of the visible
band on short heroes; on the TV detail line and the dashboard spotlight the
group occupies the one metadata slot so bullet separators do not multiply.
The group announces itself as a single semantics node naming each source,
because a bare row of four percentages tells a screen reader nothing about
which score is which. rating_utils drops parseRatingImage and
isRottenTomatoes — the URI vocabulary now lives only in the Plex mapper —
and the source-key resolver and label map, previously private to the Explore
detail screen, become the shared pair both screens use. The label strings
move from explore.ratingSource to common.ratingSource accordingly, which
costs no translations because every non-English value was empty; running
clean_translations also scaffolds startup.quitPlezy and
startup.restartRequiredBody, which were already drifted.
Verified against the live server the probes came from: a detail response now
yields TMDB 83%, IMDb 8.3 and Rotten Tomatoes audience 96% through the
production mapper and badge resolver, and the listing response for the same
title yields TMDB 83% alone. Both payloads are pinned verbatim as fixtures.
Coverage adds mapper ordering, dedupe against the array's repeat of the
scalar, out-of-range rejection, the Jellyfin scale and photo guard, the
CatalogItem conversion that feeds Explore's dashboard hubs, and the three
render surfaces including the semantics announcement.
close#1755
Cycling backdrops reach a fallback path only once every rotating path
has failed to load, but every hero passed the rotation-agnostic backdrop
list as the rotation set and the aspect-ordered candidates as the
fallback. One servable wide backdrop was therefore enough to hide the
square background for good, so phone detail and Discover heroes
cover-fitted a 16:9 backdrop into a portrait box instead of showing the
square image Plex supplies.
Give the rotation set the same aspect-aware preference the candidate
list already has: near-square containers rotate the square background
alone and keep the backdrops behind it as fallbacks.

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.
Cards consult the hierarchy-aware store so container marks flip episode
rows instantly and a stale per-episode patch can no longer shadow a newer
show/season mark; playback opens with the session-fresh resume offset.
