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.)
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- Previous separate implementations (ChromecastMiniPlayer, AirPlayMiniPlayer) superseded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
