With the new playback setting enabled, episode advance carries no audio or
subtitle preference at all, so both resolve from the streams selected on
the server for each individual episode. This serves setups that curate
selections server-side (e.g. Plex Auto Languages) and is independent of
"Remember track selections", which keeps gating only the write-back of
manual changes.

Four sections of the catalog detail screen spent more room than their data
justified.
Franchise relations drew one hub shelf per label. Real payloads make that
absurd: MAL returns twelve relations for Attack on Titan across six labels,
and "Side story" and "Sequel" each hold exactly one title, so each spent a
header, a scroll row and one card. Flatten the labelled groups into one
"Related titles" section of compact rows — poster thumb, label, title and year
— that flow into columns on wide viewports. D-pad moves through the grid by
index and still hands off to the cast strip above and the recommendations
shelf below, which keeps its shelf because taste-based recommendations are
meant to be browsed.
Drop the MAL picture gallery. It was a horizontal strip of unfocusable poster
variants of the title you are already looking at, and it cost a page-height of
scroll; the `pictures` field comes back out of the detail request with it.
Draw attributed scores behind their own brand mark where the source has one,
the way the media detail screen already does: Rotten Tomatoes fresh/rotten and
upright/spilled, IMDb and TMDB, each on the scale that source publishes.
Sources with no mark (critic, audience, tracker scores) keep their written
label. Plex's own badge state is derived from the 60% tomatometer threshold it
encodes in `image.rating.ripe`.
Flow the definition rows — original title, studios, country, budget, box
office, crew — into two or three columns once the window is wide enough.
A 1440-wide window drew a 140-pixel label, a short value and 1,000 pixels of
nothing per fact.
Verified against live MAL and Plex Discover payloads on macOS: the Attack on
Titan page drops from 4,082 to 2,115 logical pixels, Dune: Part Two from 1,282
to 1,154.
Explore shelf cards drew a poster, a title and a year. An audit of all six
catalog sources found the rest was lost at two boundaries — the wire-to-DTO
mapping and the DTO-to-CatalogItem mapping — and then simply not drawn: the
grid card fell through every branch of buildMetadataSubtitle to the year-only
case, while the list card used by search already composed certification,
runtime and rating from fields the synthesized MediaItem already held.
Extend CatalogItem with the neutral facts every provider had been dropping:
attributed rating sources, leaderboard ranks that keep their season window,
audience counters that keep their timeframe, broadcast slots, next-episode air
times, server availability and request state, exact release dates, alternate
titles, format, source material, studios, countries, languages, credits, tags,
links, artwork variants, play state, gallery art and background prose. Replace
fetchCast and fetchRelated with one fetchDetail returning the enriched item,
its cast, its recommendations and labelled franchise relations without adding
a request: sources needing two calls keep two and run them concurrently with
isolated failures.
Map those fields in all six sources, widening only field selections that cost
no extra round trip — MAL's fields list, AniList's selection set and a bounded
row cast that lets detail skip its character call, Trakt's guest stars, Seerr's
language parameter and TMDB size ladder, and Plex's includeUserState. Plex hub
artwork widens only on TV, where the spotlight is its only consumer, because it
doubles the payload.
Render them: a rating-first caption and bounded badges on the shelf card,
labelled sections on the detail screen, provider hub styles and result counts
on shelves, and logo, banner and accent art in the TV spotlight.
Verified against live Plex, AniList, Simkl and MAL responses, and on a Pixel 7.
The sheet collapsed an item to `Media.first` / `MediaSources.first` and
rendered a fixed set of rows, so split files, extra versions, per-track
properties, HDR classification and Dolby Vision were all invisible.
Model the payload the way both servers shape it — versions own parts,
parts own streams — and project every property either backend populates
onto `MediaStreamDetails`. The field set comes from sweeping both test
servers in full through the clients' own request shapes (Plex 6842
Media / 6842 Part / 39864 Stream entries, Jellyfin 6349 sources / 37763
streams / 61224 attachments), so file presence, Dolby Vision layers,
dynamic range, sample rate, spatial audio, sidecar provenance, embedded
attachments, rotation and the lyric stream type all survive. A coverage
test fails when a server key is neither carried, folded into a sibling,
nor excluded with a reason.
File Info also stopped trusting the shared `/library/metadata/{id}`
cache row: `getPlaybackExtras` writes it without `includeStreams` /
`checkFiles`, so the sheet could render with no stream table at all.
Detect that shape and refetch once under the request context captured
before the cache read, so the outgoing token and the cache namespace
stay on one profile.
Rework the layout to match: a summary chip row, then flat tonal cards
with a two-column field grid that collapses to one column on narrow
viewports, per-stream cards with flag chips, and a copyable monospace
path row. The card fill is a tonal step off the text colour rather than
the `bg` token, which is one shade from the sheet surface on OLED.
Pressing pause or seeking while the player's on-screen controls were hidden raised
the entire OSD, covering the subtitles the viewer was rewinding to read. Transport
keys now answer with a transient indicator and leave the chrome down; Select,
D-pad Center and a centre tap remain the deliberate way to bring the controls
back.
Play/pause confirms with an icon-only translucent disc at the centre of the frame,
72px around a 44px glyph, which grows and fades in, holds half a second at rest,
then runs the same motion in reverse. Seeking shows the amount plus a single
chevron on the same line at the edge it travels toward, with no backdrop at all:
anything large enough to read as a surface is large enough to cover picture and
subtitles, so legibility comes from shadows instead. Only the chevron moves, and
it eases outward across most of its cycle and returns briefly, holding a visible
opacity floor rather than blinking out. Type is scaled per platform, since a
television is read from across the room. The existing text pill stays for genuine
notices - rate changes, chapter titles, zoom, errors - because an earlier centred
pill overlapped ASS \an8 subtitle placement, which is the readability complaint
this feedback exists to answer.
Every relative seek entry point now shares one coalescing primitive. The keyboard
shortcuts fell through to KeyboardShortcutsService and previously reported
nothing, and both they and the remote's chapter fallback rebased each press off
player.state.position, so a burst against a slow backend pinned every request near
one step while the indicator climbed to a total that was never committed. A
released key commits its pending target immediately and resets the acceleration
tier, including on live TV where seeks bypass the accumulator. A chapter seek with
nowhere to go, past the last chapter or already at the start, no longer announces a
jump it does not perform.
Rewind-on-resume follows the resolved intent rather than the current state, so a
directed pause on an already-paused video neither resumes nor rewinds. Indicators
carry their own liveRegion semantics nodes: their labels previously merged into the
full-screen "show playback controls" target, corrupting its accessible name, and
they keep announcing "Paused"/"Playing" and the seek amount from icon-only visuals.
close#1676
`clean_translations.py --strict` reported seven unused keys.
Three are genuinely dead: TrackSelectionHelper.getEmptyMessage was
removed as unreachable in 4307c49c, and the sheets that need an empty
state carry their own strings. Removes them from every locale.
The four accessibility keys are false positives. tv_number_spinner
aliased the subtree as `final a11y = ...accessibility`, which the static
scanner cannot follow — its docstring says as much. Binds the documented
`final t = Translations.of(context)` instead and hoists the two labels,
so the semantics stay identical and the scanner sees the chains.
Groundwork for #1300. Establishes the session, buffering and route
handling Dolby's application guide prescribes, and adds the diagnostic
arm needed to find out whether Apple's sample-buffer renderer can carry
Atmos objects at all.
Audio session, per the guide's sequence:
- Adopt the long-form playback profile in one atomic call at app launch
and activate the session there. The SDK only accepts that policy with
category Playback, a Default/MoviePlayback/SpokenAudio mode and no
options, so it cannot be assembled from separate calls.
- Report the resolved rendering mode in the player, hidden unless the
system resolves it. Apple only resolves it for CarPlay and AirPlay, so
an unresolved value means unknown, never "not Dolby".
Diagnostics (Apple TV only, Settings > Video Playback > Atmos Output Test):
- Add a sample-buffer arm. It reads the asset with AVAssetReader at
outputSettings nil and hands the untouched compressed buffers and the
untouched format description straight to the renderer, with a variant
that rebuilds the description the way playback builds it. Every
existing mode went through AVPlayer, so nothing exercised the path
playback actually uses; this is what tells us whether the renderer or
our construction is at fault.
- Add an AirPlay route picker. AirPlay is the only route where the system
resolves the rendering mode and the supported channel layouts, so it is
what makes those observations reachable at all, and the AVPlayer arms
now allow external playback so every arm can be compared on the same
destination.
- Add a session-mode toggle for the one profile difference between the
guide and previous playback behaviour.
- Report the session profile, supported layouts, both format
descriptions, the magic cookie and the renderer status, and release the
session on stop so a failed run cannot contaminate the next one.
Also bumps MPVKit to 1.0.14, which carries the matching audio output
work: the channel layout AVFoundation itself uses for Dolby content, a
renderer-failure observer so the fallback to PCM can actually run, the
prescribed feed ordering and preroll, flush recovery that re-supplies the
discarded audio instead of shifting later audio into its place, and
capability-driven fallback on route and capability changes.
This does not yet fix#1300. Whether the sample-buffer renderer can carry
JOC is still unknown; it removes every difference from the documented
setup that could explain the failure, and gives us the arm to answer it
on real hardware.

Queue sheet/panel now renders the whole playback order — dimmed played
tracks above the current one — instead of only up-next. Opens scrolled
to the current track and follows advancement while parked on it.
Re-enables Audio Passthrough on Apple TV against the MPVKit EAC3-JOC
AVPlayer sink (pin bump to v1.0.8 follows), adds an AVPlayer test
harness + diagnostics screen for #1300, and makes loudnorm yield while
passthrough is active (fixes a latent spdif conflict on desktop too).
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.
