Poster images are decorative (the card exposes one merged node), and
the default per-child AutomaticKeepAlive/_SelectionKeepAlive/
IndexedSemantics wrappers are inert here — no keep-alive clients or
SelectionArea exist. The semantics phase ran ~9ms every frame on TV
devices with an accessibility service; it scales with node count.
Hub moves, focus flips and item selects now flow through the rail focus
model + ListenableSelectors (two headers/cards repaint instead of every
visible card rebuilding). DiscoverScreen memoizes the hubs list, gates
provider notifies on a render signature and caches the rail widget so
no-op refreshes skip the subtree entirely. The whole-rail 0.6 and
inactive-row 0.7 AnimatedOpacity layers are replaced by AnimatedDimScrim
quads, removing the permanent per-frame saveLayers that kept low-end TV
GPUs raster-bound.
Covered routes stop painting/building once the fade settles, and d-pad
episode scrubbing rebuilds only the foreground info panel instead of
the whole screen with its rail.
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.
