The cast player derives the episode list, prev/next buttons and autoplay
target from fetchSeriesEpisodes, which returned every episode including
"Virtual" (missing) ones — e.g. an empty Specials/Season 0 entry. That
made a bogus "previous" button appear on S1E1 (its previous was the missing
S0E1) and could load/autoplay an unplayable episode. Filter them out at the
source so they never surface in the cast UI.
Bring 323 commits of develop (incl. the Expo SDK 56 / TV-branch work) into
the chromecast refactor. Conflict resolutions:
- chapters: take develop's reviewed version (ChapterList/ChapterTicks/
chapters.ts/test) — adds chapterNameAt, markers API, themed Colors.
- auto-skip: keep chromecast's unified useSegmentSkipper for the phone
player; restore develop's useCreditSkipper/useIntroSkipper (deleted on
chromecast) so develop's Controls.tv.tsx compiles. TV->useSegmentSkipper
migration left as follow-up.
- en.json: union the two player blocks (kept chromecast casting keys +
develop's subtitle/playback keys).
- TechnicalInfoOverlay/PlatformDropdown: take develop's TV-safe versions
(kept chromecast's disabled-prop branch, aliased to avoid shadowing the
@expo/ui disabled modifier).
- SDK 56 fixes: expo-router Router -> ImperativeRouter in cast components;
ChapterTicks markers API in CastPlayerProgressBar.
- restore utils/profiles/chromecast* (deleted on chromecast, still used by
PlayButton).
Typecheck passes; bun.lock regenerated against merged package.json.
Carry the live subtitle/audio selection to the next episode on all TV
navigation paths (next/prev buttons, autoplay) and feed TV subtitle modal
selections back into player state via onSubtitleIndexChange so the chosen
track is what gets carried.
Rank subtitles by language plus forced/hearing-impaired mode, with a
no-language fallback (mode + codec + position), and use an explicit match
flag so a deliberate "off" selection is retained too.
Added the ability to swap VO options for android only between "GPU" and
"GPU-next"
Removed some console logs from previous debugging
Added the ability to see what VO is being used to render in the video
player

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.

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.
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.
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
- 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

- 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
