A Portuguese user reported "Skip Intro" rendering in English on Android TV.
The locale files were not the problem - all 22 were structurally complete.
skip_marker_button.dart simply never imported strings.g.dart and assigned
'Skip Intro' / 'Skip Credits' / 'Next Episode' as plain literals. An audit of
lib/ found ~120 more sites in the same state, in four shapes that need
different fixes:
A literal in a file that never imported the i18n layer is the easy one -
skip_marker_button, performance_stats, track_label_builder and codec_utils all
render text with no `t` in the file at all. TrackLabelBuilder._compose now takes
a fallbackLabel builder instead of an English fallbackPrefix, so the caller
supplies t.audioTracks.track / t.videoControls.subtitleTrack and every unnamed
audio and subtitle row in the track menus is localized.
English reaching the user through an exception message is the widest one, and
it needs care: MediaServerException.message feeds both toString() - logs and
Sentry grouping - and verbatim UI display. Localizing it in place would make
bug-report logs follow the user's locale and split one Sentry issue into 22.
The MediaServer and Seerr families instead gain a nullable `display` alongside
the English `message`, and the six screens that print these errors read
`display ?? message`. PlaybackException keeps the opposite rule, because it
already carries a PlaybackFailureReason for logic and classifyPlaybackFailure
already builds it from t.messages: its stragglers are localized at the throw
site. That also removes the literal "Exception: " prefix Live TV users saw on
a tune failure, since PlaybackException.toString() returns the bare message.
Localized parts hand-concatenated with bare English are the shape no search for
Text('...') can find: '${t.common.pause} auto-scroll' on the home carousel,
'${day} at ${time}' on the Live TV schedule row, and an actor-screen count that
hand-rolled its plural as `n == 1 ? 'title' : 'titles'` - wrong for ru and pl
regardless of translation, now a real Slang plural.
Finally a literal assigned to provider state that a widget renders later:
DownloadProgress.errorMessage, and the four background_downloader notification
bodies, which sit inside a plugin config call where no widget-shaped search
reaches them.
Two things surfaced while converting. track_chapter_controls compared a track
label against 'Audio Track N' to swap in a localized version; once the builder
localized its own fallback that branch became unreachable, so it and the
orphaned _joinTrackLabel are gone. And discovery_view's PeerError fallback arm
looks like a leak but is not - its producers already localize, and a test says
so - so it stays as it is.
All 21 non-base locales are translated, including the 21 keys left empty by
earlier commits that were falling back to English. No locale has an empty value.
scripts/check_hardcoded_strings.py guards the three shapes a structural check
can see, and runs in ci_checks.sh after translation hygiene. Its first draft
passed its own tests while missing this very bug, because 'Skip Intro' is bound
to a local rather than handed to Text(); the name-bound rule that closes that
gap is restricted to phrase-shaped literals, or it cannot tell copy from the
identifiers this codebase binds constantly ('cast_row', 'auto', 'liveTv'). It
cannot see English inside a throw or assigned to a provider field - neither is
distinguishable from a log message without dataflow analysis - and the docstring
says so. label: and actionLabel: are deliberately unscanned: here they name a
diagnostic operation, and a check that is chronically red is a check that gets
switched off.
One commit rather than one per area: the keys, the 22 locale files and the
generated output are a single unit, and any partial split fails the repo's own
unused-key scan on the way through.
close#1856
Emby is Jellyfin's upstream ancestor and speaks a near-identical MediaBrowser
API, so the existing Jellyfin stack is parameterised by a `MediaBrowserDialect`
rather than forked. `JellyfinClient`, its auth service, endpoint discovery, LAN
discovery, and the add/edit connection screens all take the dialect and keep one
implementation; `MediaBackend.emby` and `ConnectionKind.emby` carry it through
the neutral models, the Drift `kind` discriminator, downloads, and caches.
Every divergence below was measured against a live Emby 4.9.5 server, not
inferred from documentation, and each is documented at its capability getter.
Jellyfin's request strings stay byte-identical so nothing about its behaviour
changes.
Routes and auth
- Emby only accepts the pre-10.9 user-scoped item routes (`/Users/{id}/Items/…`,
`/Users/{id}/PlayedItems/…`, `/Users/{id}/FavoriteItems/…`); the unprefixed
forms Jellyfin 10.11 added return 404.
- The API is also served under a legacy `/emby` prefix, and both dialects accept
the token as `X-Emby-Token` or `api_key=`.
- Emby answers only its own LAN discovery datagram ("who is EmbyServer?") and
ignores Jellyfin's; its default HTTPS port is 8920.
- No `/QuickConnect` route exists, so Quick Connect stays Jellyfin-only.
Row fields Emby withholds
- `ProductionYear`, `OfficialRating`, `PremiereDate` and `DateCreated` are absent
from list rows unless named in `Fields`, which would otherwise strip the year
and age-rating badge from every card in the app.
- `UserData.LastPlayedDate` never appears on a list row under `Fields=UserData`,
`EnableUserData=true` or the user-scoped `Ids=` form — only on the single-item
detail route, or when the Emby-specific `UserDataLastPlayedDate` token is
requested. Without it every recency-ordered surface silently degrades to
library-add time, and `JellyfinApiCache.applyWatchState` stamps
`DateTime.now()` on watched rows, so an offline watch-state pull would rewrite
the cached play time of everything it walked.
Continue Watching and Next Up
- Emby computes Next Up per series only: the library-wide `/Shows/NextUp` query
returns nothing under every parameter combination tried. The shelf is
therefore reconstructed from a played-episode recency scan plus one
`/Shows/NextUp?SeriesId=` per distinct series, bounded by a shared wall clock
that covers the scan as well — per-request timeouts cannot bound the pass
because `MediaServerHttpClient` times the connect and receive phases
independently. Rows are stamped with their series' newest play from the same
response that ordered them, so no per-series enrichment request is needed.
- `/Shows/NextUp` ignores `NextUpDateCutoff`, and no server-side played-date
filter exists to delegate to (`MinDatePlayed` and `MinDateLastPlayed` are
ignored; `MinDateLastSaved`, `MinDateCreated` and `MinPremiereDate` filter
unrelated dates), so the 365-day window is applied to the scanned dates.
- The resume route returns items with no saved position, including plain next
episodes, so the Emby resume leg reads from `/Items?Filters=IsResumable`.
- Emby is ahead of Jellyfin in one place: `/Users/{id}/Items/{id}/HideFromResume`
makes Continue Watching removal a real capability.
Everything else
- `/Sessions/Playing` and `/Sessions/Playing/Progress` reject a body with no
`PlaySessionId` (HTTP 400), so playback reporting always sends one.
- Passing any `MediaTypes` value to the playlist query returns an empty list.
- There is no aggregate `/Items/Filters` route; the four filter facets are
reassembled from `/Genres`, `/OfficialRatings`, `/Studios` and `/Tags`.
- Metadata writes take name-pair lists (`Genres: [{'Name': 'Action'}]`); the
plain string array is accepted and then silently discarded.
- Custom artwork uploads must be base64 text, not raw bytes — which was broken
for Jellyfin too and is fixed for both.
- Trickplay, media segments and lyrics 404 on Emby, so scrub previews are absent
and intro/credit markers fall back to chapter names.
Verified against a local Emby 4.9.5 and a Jellyfin 10.11.11 control server:
onboarding, browse, detail, playable stream URLs serving real bytes, subtitle
sidecars, watch-state write and restore, hubs, cross-server aggregation and
search across both backends simultaneously.
Consolidates duplicated logic behind shared implementations — paginated
grid tabs, focus chrome, cached remote stores, sheet selection columns,
the server artifact store and a test fixture layer — and removes code
that had become unreachable. Net reduction of about 5,500 lines with no
behaviour change.
Where a fix had landed separately in code that moved into a shared
helper, the fix was re-applied inside the helper rather than left behind
in the copy that went away.
Introduces shared seams for paginated views, D-pad reorder, media control
routing, async singletons and the device method channel, then points the
open-coded copies at them.
Also removes unused models and duplicated provider/server plumbing, folds
the twice-implemented artifact store in the server, and factors the
repeated Flutter toolchain prologue in CI into a composite action.
