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.)
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
