- Add useIdlePreviewPlayback composable: stops preview videos after 30s
without input and restarts them staggered on activity; also stops
while the tab is hidden.
- SeriesFullView: no episode videos play until a season is browsed
(keyboard/gamepad focus or mouse hover); only near-viewport tiles of
the active season play (IntersectionObserver); inactive seasons no
longer preload video data; sync is incremental so playing tiles are
not rewound on scroll.
- MediaDetail: header showreel videos use cancellable stagger timers,
pause when scrolled out of view, and honor the idle stop.
- Images: lazy/async decoding on series page posters; content-visibility:
auto on media cards to skip rendering off-screen row items.
Backend:
- Add mediahive/players.py with cross-platform player detection:
- Windows: MPC-BE, MPC-HC, VLC, PotPlayer, mpv (registry + known paths)
- macOS: IINA, VLC (/Applications bundle scanning)
- Linux: VLC, SMPlayer (PATH via which)
- Add GET /api/players endpoint returning detected players
- Extend POST /api/roots/{id}/play to accept player_id and player_custom_cmd
- Make MPC-BE web UI port configurable via ?port= query param
Frontend:
- Add player selection to settings (localStorage, per-client)
- Two-column layout: player list (9.5em) + contextual options panel
- Contextual options: Custom Command input, MPC Web UI Port input
- Empty MPC port disables all Web UI polling/connection attempts
- MPC-BE polling only runs when MPC family player is selected and port is set
- useMediaWebSocket: shallowRef mediaIndex/tasks/loading/error/connected
to eliminate Proxy overhead on the entire library data structure.
- useMediaWebSocket: replace per-task setTimeout leak with single 3s
sweep interval for completed task cleanup.
- App.vue: remove {deep:true} watcher on mediaIndex; shallow ref change
is sufficient to trigger search worker sync.
- useGamepadNavigation: rAF only when gamepads are connected; idle
fallback to 500ms setTimeout to stop permanent 60fps CPU drain.
- useKeyboardNavigation: deduplicate synced scroll rAF requests to
prevent overlapping animation frames.
- MediaDetail/SeriesFullView/CollageHero: pause, clear src, and load()
video elements on unmount and before ref replacement to release
decoder/memory resources.
- MediaDetail/SeriesFullView: clear all volume fade intervals on
unmount to stop interval timer leaks.
