Detection now runs off the UI isolate and covers every platform where
the answer can be trusted.
Availability was a plain platform check, so Linux always listed VLC, mpv
and Celluloid, macOS always listed VLC and IINA, and Windows always
listed VLC and PotPlayer whether or not any of them existed. Each player
now has a detector that asks exactly the question its launcher asks:
`sh -c 'command -v'` for PATH launches so the kernel performs the
executable check, NSWorkspace/Launch Services for `open -a`, `where.exe`
plus the concrete install paths for Windows VLC, and the registered URL
handler for PotPlayer and the iOS players.
Detection is asynchronous and memoised behind KnownPlayers.probe rather
than a Process.runSync in a static initialiser, which forked three
shells on the UI isolate during ExternalPlayerScreen.build. It is
prewarmed from startup, fails open when a probe throws, and keeps the
selected player listed when a detector misses it so a false negative
cannot leave the list with nothing selected.
iOS and tvOS gained LSApplicationQueriesSchemes entries for vlc and
infuse. Without them canOpenURL returns false for both schemes, so
_launchUrlScheme was already refusing to hand off to either player.
Android keeps the platform check: package visibility needs native
declarations, and a wrong answer there hides a working player.
user_switch_response.dart was left holding a single 13-line function after
UserSwitchResponse's decorative fields were dropped, so the filename no
longer described its contents and it sat at lib/models/ root while every
other Plex model lives in lib/models/plex/.
Renamed to lib/models/plex/plex_switch_response.dart, with the test moved
alongside the other plex_*_test.dart files. The parser stays public so the
#1488 drift characterization tests keep exercising it directly.
Focus chrome was implemented twice, once in the focusable wrapper and once
in the focus builders; both now go through FocusChrome. TvColorPicker's
channel row was a copy of TvNumberSpinner and is now that widget in compact
density.
Also trims unused helpers and fields and simplifies the Jellyfin browse
paths.
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.
Around July 3 plex.tv started returning the profile language-list fields
(defaultAudioLanguages, defaultSubtitleLanguages, mediaReviewsLanguages)
as comma-separated strings instead of arrays. The generated cast threw on
the successful 201 /switch response, dropping the freshly minted Home
user token: every rebind failed, the binder retried a /switch mint every
1-2s, and the app sat permanently in offline mode even after re-signing
in. Accounts without language prefs set were unaffected, which is why
the breakage looked sporadic.
Parse the language lists with a CSV-aware coercion, and make
UserSwitchResponse.fromJson strict only about authToken: decorative
fields now coerce tolerantly and a broken profile blob falls back to
defaults, so account-API drift can never brick token minting again.

Resolve platform, hardware model, and friendly device name once via a
shared DeviceIdentityService and send them to both backends: Plex gets
a real X-Plex-Platform plus X-Plex-Device/X-Plex-Device-Name (shown as
Player in dashboards/Tautulli), Jellyfin gets the device name in the
MediaBrowser auth header. Transcode and live-TV decision requests keep
their pinned platform names, which Plex validates server-side.
