The decode clamp was height-only, so ultra-wide originals could decode
far past the display budget, and two small-slot fallbacks skipped
server-side resizing entirely — handing multi-megapixel originals to
the decoder behind tiny slots. The TV spotlight background's offline
branch had no decode bound at all. All artwork now flows through a
shared both-axes bound (ResizeImagePolicy.fit: aspect-preserving,
scale-down only), and the reduced tier gets matching thumb/poster
decode caps.
Ref #1349
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.
close#1488
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.
close#1270
FFmpeg's protocol lookup is case-sensitive, so a stored "Https://" base
URL reaches mpv verbatim through the direct-play string concat and fails
with "Protocol not found" (API calls survive because Dart's Uri
lowercases the scheme). Canonicalize at Jellyfin URL intake and in the
connection constructor so persisted configs self-heal on load, and
register mpv-escaped (https\://) redaction variants so option-value
logs stop leaking the server host.
close#1465
Plain Play requests the default media version (index 0 or the saved
preference), but the offline resolvers rejected the single downloaded
row when a non-default version was downloaded, then threw "No video
URL available" with no client to fall back to.
Three-part fix sharing one matcher (downloadedVersionMatches):
- getPlaybackData falls back to the downloaded version when there is no
client to stream from; the result now carries the effective
mediaIndex/mediaSourceId so cached media info and the committed
session describe the file actually played.
- navigateToVideoPlayer seeds the selection from the download record
for isOffline plays with no explicit version, covering the external
player branch and offline-library plays with a reachable server.
- PlaybackSession.fromContext prefers the result source id over the
requested one, keeping in-player state in sync after a fallback.
Online pinning is untouched: with a live client an explicitly requested
non-downloaded version still streams from the server.
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.
Extends the Plex play-queue fix (#1416) to the shared episode comparator
so Specials interleave by air date everywhere, not just Plex streaming:
offline next/prev, the Jellyfin online queue, offline OnDeck, and the
download/sync "next N" selection. Undated episodes fall back to
Specials-last, preserving the #1414 "never front-load the Specials
folder" guarantee. Jellyfin queue now requests PremiereDate.
* fix(plex): show PGS subtitles when transcoding
Bitmap subtitles (PGS/VOBSUB) disappeared from the menu while transcoding on Plex, leaving only "Off". The MKV transcode already supports them, so embed them in the stream like text subs. Now they show up and can be turned on.
* fix(plex): give bitmap subtitle codecs the right sidecar extension
getSubtitleExtension fell back to .srt for vobsub, pgssub and dvb subs. Map them to .sub/.sup so it stays consistent with isImageSubtitleCodec and any sidecar URL or download uses the correct extension.
- start binder before navigating from auth, mark isBinding synchronously
- overlap plex.tv resource refresh with optimistic cached-metadata connect,
reconcile tokens/membership in background once it lands
- cached endpoint probe gets a head start on the race instead of serially
blocking it
- defer phase-1 HTTPS upgrade off the splash critical path
- per-server connect progress stream for incremental splash checkmarks
- startup timing instrumentation (bind/fetch/race/connect elapsedMs)
