The whole-stack AnimatedSwitcher kept two full-screen saveLayers (each
compositing backdrop + two full-screen gradients) blending on every
focus move — with CachedNetworkImage's own fade nested inside, the
dominant GPU load while browsing. Gradients are identical between items
so they never fade now; the incoming artwork fades in via Image.opacity
over the still-opaque previous one (no placeholder flash), and only the
bounded info block keeps a real cross-fade.
Memoize the per-image SHA-1 disk-cache key (ran on the UI thread on
every image build), fade images in via paint alpha instead of an
AnimatedSwitcher saveLayer per in-flight tile, create SettingsBuilder's
merged listenable once instead of per build, and drop the pointer
chrome (InkWell ink machinery, cursor MouseRegions) from cards on TV
where no pointer exists.
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.
Replace the per-tracker json_serializable session classes and account stores with a shared TrackerSession (service-aware persisted validation), a single TrackerAccountStore, a shared TrackerHttpClient, and an AnimeListTrackerBase mixin for MAL/AniList. Scope the per-service rebind guard so a disconnect can't abort a racing profile load. Add migration-safety, MAL refresh, episode-count cache, and content-type tests.
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.
The keyboard is a navigator route, so a screen swapping out its form
left it floating over the new content. showTvVirtualKeyboard now
returns a route handle and the field host closes it on dispose.
single tap stacks while the skip pill is visible, feedback shows before
the seek (instant on transcode restarts), fade-out hide timer is tracked so
a re-shown pill isn't killed mid-spree, and tap pairing uses the platform
