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.
- 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.)
BREAKING CHANGE: Merged separate Chromecast and AirPlay implementations into unified casting system
- Created unified casting types and helpers (utils/casting/)
- Built useCasting hook that manages both protocols
- Single CastingMiniPlayer component works with both Chromecast and AirPlay
- Single casting-player modal for full-screen controls
- Protocol-aware UI: Red for Chromecast, Blue for AirPlay
- Shows device type icon (TV for Chromecast, Apple logo for AirPlay)
- Detects active protocol automatically
- Previous separate implementations (ChromecastMiniPlayer, AirPlayMiniPlayer) superseded
Benefits:
- Better UX: One cast button shows all available devices
- Cleaner architecture: Protocol differences abstracted
- Easier maintenance: Single UI codebase
- Protocol-specific logic isolated in adapters
