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.
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.
