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.
Performance Optimizations:
- Add progress tracking to skip redundant Jellyfin API calls (< 5s changes)
- Debounce volume changes (300ms) to reduce API load
