10-task plan for sub-project C: extract 6 presentational components +
4 hooks from casting-player.tsx, leaving a thin orchestrator. Purely
mechanical, behaviour-neutral.

6-task plan for sub-project B: CastSelection model, customData source of
truth, useCastSelection hook, expanded BITRATES, casting-player and
settings-menu rework.

Per review: filter quality tiers by both ceilings; correct the shared
BITRATES file reference to BitrateSelector.tsx.

Per review: the cast quality selector reuses the app-wide BITRATES
constant (expanded to the Jellyfin Android TV ladder) instead of a
cast-specific list, filtered by device capability.

Design for sub-project B: a single CastSelection source of truth carried
in cast customData (approach A3), fixing audio/subtitle/quality desync,
plus a real multi-version selector.

The status-2100 downgrade retry overrode only the device profile's
MaxStreamingBitrate. Jellyfin uses the explicit getStreamUrl maxBitrate
request param as the effective ceiling, so a quality-menu bitrate would
survive the retry. Clamp options.maxBitrate to the fallback cap too.

7-task TDD plan for sub-project A: capability detection, profile builder,
unified loadCastMedia, call-site rewiring, settings UI, test matrix.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Per review: break enableH265ForChromecast outright instead of carrying
migration code. Users reconfigure; chromecastProfile defaults to auto.

Design for sub-project A of the Chromecast refactor: per-device capability
detection, profile builder replacing the two static profiles, unified cast
load, and load-path bug fixes.

implements automatic initialization of audio and subtitle tracks based on server-provided defaults. ensures subtitle selection persists correctly during stream reloads by resolving track indices more reliably.
replaces crypto-based uuid generation with a math-based fallback to ensure compatibility with environments lacking global crypto support. adds missing media source metadata to cast info to improve consistency between the client and receiver.
- casting-player: remove redundant self-navigation useEffect
- casting-player: derive Type from metadata instead of hardcoding 'Movie'
- casting-player: pass null to useTrickplay instead of empty BaseItemDto
- casting-player: use != null for skip time labels (allow 0 to render)
- Chromecast: case-insensitive m3u8 detection via regex
- Chromecast: fix UUID hyphen indices to 4,6,8,10 for proper v4 format
- CastingMiniPlayer: use SeriesPrimaryImageTag for series poster URL
- ChromecastConnectionMenu: send rounded volume to castSession.setVolume
- ChromecastConnectionMenu: use isMutedRef in onValueChange to avoid stale closure
- ChromecastDeviceSheet: skip volume sync during active sliding
- ChromecastDeviceSheet: move unmute logic from onValueChange to onSlidingStart
- useCasting: detect playback start via isPlaying/playerState, not just progress>0
- useCasting: derive isChromecastAvailable from castState instead of hardcoding true
- useTrickplay: accept BaseItemDto|null with null guards on Id access
Refactors the casting player screen and related components for improved code clarity, performance, and maintainability.
- Removes unused code and simplifies logic, especially around audio track selection and recommended stereo track handling.
- Improves the formatting of trickplay time displays for consistency.
- Streamlines UI elements and removes unnecessary conditional checks.
- Updates the Chromecast component to use hooks for side effects, ensuring the Chromecast session remains active.
- Improves the display of the language in the audio track display.
Fixes several issues and enhances the Chromecast casting experience:
- Prevents errors when loading media by slimming down the customData payload to avoid exceeding message size limits.
- Improves logic for selecting custom data from media status.
- Fixes an issue with subtitle track selection.
- Recommends stereo audio tracks for better Chromecast compatibility.
- Improves volume control and mute synchronization between the app and the Chromecast device.
- Adds error handling for `loadMedia` in `PlayButton`.
- Fixes image caching issue for season posters in mini player.
- Implements cleanup for scroll retry timeout in episode list.
- Ensures segment skipping functions are asynchronous.
- Resets `hasReportedStartRef` after stopping casting.
- Prevents seeking past the end of Outro segments.
- Reports playback progress more accurately by also taking player state changes into account.
Fixes several issues and improves the overall Chromecast casting experience:
- Implements an AbortController for fetching item data to prevent race conditions.
- Syncs live progress in the mini player more accurately using elapsed real time.
- Prevents event propagation in the mini player's play/pause button.
- Ensures the disconnect callback in the connection menu is always called.
- Retries scrolling in the episode list on failure.
- Handles unmute failures gracefully in volume controls.
- Clamps seek positions to prevent exceeding duration.
- Fixes reporting playback start multiple times
- Improves segment calculation in `useChromecastSegments`
- Prevents race condition with `isPlaying` state in `Controls` component
Also includes minor UI and timing adjustments for a smoother user experience.
Fixes several issues and improves the casting player experience.
- Adds the ability to disable segment skipping options based on plugin settings.
- Improves Chromecast integration by:
- Adding PlaySessionId for better tracking.
- Improves audio track selection
- Uses mediaInfo builder for loading media.
- Adds support for loading next/previous episodes
- Translation support
- Updates progress reporting to Jellyfin to be more accurate and reliable.
- Fixes an error message in the direct player.
Implements trickplay functionality with preview images to improve the casting player's seeking experience.
Adds a progress slider with trickplay preview, allowing users to scrub through media with visual feedback. Integrates device volume control and mute functionality to the Chromecast device sheet. Also fixes minor bugs and improves UI.
Refactors the Chromecast casting player for better compatibility, UI improvements, and stability.
- Adds auto-selection of stereo audio tracks for improved Chromecast compatibility
- Refactors episode list to filter out virtual episodes and allow season selection
- Improves UI layout and styling
- Removes connection quality indicator
- Fixes progress reporting to Jellyfin
- Updates volume control to use CastSession for device volume
Enriches the casting player screen by fetching item details from the Jellyfin API for a more reliable and complete user experience.
The casting player now prioritizes item data fetched directly from the API, providing richer metadata and ensuring accurate information display.
- Fetches full item data based on content ID.
- Uses fetched data as the primary source of item information, falling back to customData or minimal info if unavailable.
- Improves UI by showing connection quality and bitrate.
- Enhances episode list display and scrolling.
- Adds a stop casting button.
- Minor UI adjustments for better readability and aesthetics.
This change enhances the accuracy and reliability of displayed information, improving the overall user experience of the casting player.
- Implemented a retry mechanism for Chromecast device discovery with a maximum of 3 attempts.
- Added logging for discovered devices to aid in debugging.
- Updated Chromecast button interactions to streamline navigation to the casting player.
- Changed the color scheme for Chromecast components to a consistent purple theme.
- Modified the ChromecastDeviceSheet to sync volume slider with prop changes.
- Improved the ChromecastSettingsMenu to conditionally render audio and subtitle tracks based on availability.
- Updated translations for the casting player to include new strings for better user experience.
- Remove AirPlay from CastProtocol type union (Chromecast only for now)
- Replace AirPlay TODOs with generic 'Future: Add X for other protocols' comments
- Remove PROTOCOL_COLORS export, use hardcoded Chromecast color (#F9AB00)
- Update all component headers to be protocol-agnostic
- Keep switch statements extensible for future protocol additions
- Maintain clean architecture for easy integration of new casting protocols
Architecture remains flexible for future protocols (AirPlay, DLNA, etc.)
