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.
* 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)
Adds context.withFreshWatchState/readFreshWatchState and sweeps the
remaining session-critical readers: context menu actions, folder tree
rows, discover hero, and TV spotlight minutes-left.
Cards consult the hierarchy-aware store so container marks flip episode
rows instantly and a stale per-episode patch can no longer shadow a newer
show/season mark; playback opens with the session-fresh resume offset.
Progress ring now measures completion against the episodes actually queued (episodes.length) instead of the show's full leafCount, and advances smoothly using per-episode progress. The completed show/season download button reopens the download-options dialog (with a Delete row) so users can fetch more episodes or switch to sync instead of only deleting.
