select from those movies.
Pressing back restores focus on the random button so it's easy to

This PR adds many more data types as tabs to the favorites page.
Additionally, only tabs for the types the user has favorites for will
appear. For example, if you have no favorited music videos, that tab
will not show.
Added types:
- Collections
- TV Channels
- Music albums
- Music artists
- Music videos
- Songs
- Home videos
- Photos
- Photo albums
Dev note: The tabs are implemented using keys instead of indexes which
could be useful for the series overview season tabs. Plus it maybe even
be adapted for the episode list to eliminate the terrible index search
logic. A major difference is that the possible favorites tabs are
known/static list where seasons/episodes are queried & paginated.

This fixes the brief full screen white flash when the app starts or

I bisected to find the cause which was #1653. The newly added `Surface`
uses `MaterialTheme` to set its colors. `MaterialTheme` defaults to a
generic _light_ color scheme. So this PR applies the Wholphin's default
purple theme, which will then be overridden once the app preferences are
loaded.

This PR adds several more data types to search. It also adds a setting
(per use profile) to choose which types to include/exclude when
searching. The combined results now uses the same types instead of a
separate list.
A user can only search for types that they have access to. For example,
they need Live TV access for TV channels/programs or need access to a
movies-type library to search movies.
Added types to search:
- Photos & Photo albums
- Playlists
- People
- TV channels
- Live TV programs
Clicking a TV channel will play it. Clicking a TV program shows the
program dialog allowing for recording or watching live if it's currently
airing.
On the main search page you can also toggle whether to search Seerr or
not. This does not apply to the discover search tab.
Dev note: Some minor refactoring to move setting up/canceling live tv
recordings into a new service so it can be shared between with the live
tv & search pages. Also search related files are moved into the same
package now.

By default, Wholphin plays music with hardware audio offloading enabled.
This delegates audio decoding to the device's hardware DSP, making
playback stability highly dependent on the manufacturer's system audio
implementation. On certain hardware (such as my TCL TVs, e.g., the
Chinese Model Q9L Pro), this implementation causes music playback to
hang indefinitely at 0 seconds.

This PR has updates the Now Playing page.
Now only the song's backdrops and the song's artists' backdrops will
show. First, if the song has any backdrops (probably pretty uncommon),
they will be shuffled and shown, then if the song's artists have
backdrop, those are shuffled and shown. The backdrop changes every 2
minutes unless there's <15s left in the song to prevent rapid changes.
Note: album backdrops and album artists not directly linked to the
specific song are not included.
If a song has a lyrics and the user is scrolling through them, if the
user doesn't scroll for 5 seconds, the focus leaves the lyrics and they
scroll to the current line if available.

When testing the new deep link feature from this PR
[#1688](https://github.com/damontecres/Wholphin/pull/1688)
I noticed that the back button would close the app. As in, all routes
are cleared and only the playback is in the nav stack.
I figured a more desirable behavior would be to create a nav stack,
always starting with the home screen, then also inserting the media
item's details page, if available.
To achieve this, I made the return Target.destinations a list of
destinations, and updated the other two uses in IntentService.
Open to implementation tweaks, or scrap it if this isn't how it should
work, haha.
### Testing
Tested deep links, which produced the following nav stacks:
- Movie view
- Home → Movie details
- Movie playback (with and without position)
- Home → Movie details → Playback
- Series view
- Home → Series details
- Season view
- Home → Season details
- Episode view
- Home → Episode details
- Episode playback (with and without position)
- Home → Episode details → Playback
- Trailer/extras playback (no details page available)
- Home → Playback
- TV channel view

## Description
The alphabet scroll bar highlighted the letter of an item's *display*
name while the grid sorted by the server's article-stripped `SortName`,
so "The Beatles" sat under **B** but highlighted **T**.
- **Artists:** the Artists tab never requested `SortName`, so the
highlight silently fell back to `Name`. It now asks for `SlimItemFields`
(which already includes `SORT_NAME`), matching the sibling `/Items`
branch. The count-only query used for letter positions passes `fields =
null`, since a `limit = 0` request has no use for them.
- **Genres and studios:** these grids bucketed on the display name
unconditionally. The sort-name fallback is extracted as
`BaseItemDto.alphabetSortName` (`sortName ?: name ?: ""`) and carried
onto the `Genre` and `Studio` grid items, so all three grids now derive
the letter from one value.
### Related issues
https://github.com/damontecres/Wholphin/issues/1787
### Testing
Two unit tests added:
- `CollectionFolderViewModelTest` pins that the artist pager actually
requests `SORT_NAME` — the field whose absence caused the bug.
- `AlphabetSortNameTest` covers both branches of the `alphabetSortName`
fallback.
Manually: select a music library → Artists tab → put the cursor on an
artist starting with "The " and confirm the highlighted letter matches
the grid position. Same check on the genre and studio grids.

I used Cursor for debugging and implementing the fix, and Claude Code

positionOfLetter counted through /Items no matter which endpoint the
grid was actually paging. A music library's Artists tab pages /Artists,
so the index it returned had counted every album and song before the
letter - an order of magnitude more rows than the artist grid holds -
and every letter jumped to the last row.
Count through the same endpoint createPager builds its pager from:
/Artists for the ARTIST override, /Items for NONE. The artist request is
now built once in createGetArtistsRequest and shared by both, so the two
cannot drift apart.
GetPersonsRequest has neither nameLessThan nor startIndex, so /Persons
cannot be counted up to a letter at all; the PERSON override returns
null, which the call sites already map to the "no jump" sentinel. That
path is unreachable today - the only PERSON tab sorts by
ItemSortBy.DEFAULT, so showLetterButtons is never true there and
AlphabetButtons is never composed.

Selecting a song from search now resolves to its album's detail page,
scrolled to and focusing that song, instead of sending you to an
"unsupported item type" page. Implemented in the shared
BaseItem.destination() rather than in search specifically, so any caller
that navigates to a song gets the same behavior.
A song with no albumId plays directly while remaining in the search
results page: NavigationManager.navigateTo() intercepts a bare AUDIO
destination and hands it to a new MusicService.playSong(). Handling this
in the single navigation funnel means every caller gets it for free with
no loading-screen flash.
Adds BaseItemDestinationTest covering the new destination() logic.

Additionally, another album row for "Appears on" is added. This is

The bug report was caused by a race condition where the image URL was
built before the grid was fully laid out causing a `fillWidth=0` and the
`remember` would not reset after the `fillWidth` was updated to the
actual value. So this PR fixes the `remember`.
Furthermore, some extra guards are added to only pass the `fillWidth` &
`fillHeight` params if greater than 0.
Finally, the `EpisodeCard` code is deleted because it's height & width
logic was overly complicated and `BannerCardWithTitle` provides better
functionality anyway.

skip functionality, and a new simple trickplay overlay.
The setting is added in Advanced, under the Playback section, called
"D-Pad seek mode". The options are "Skip time" and "Trickplay previews".
I left the default as "Skip time" since that's how it operates now, and
nothing would change for users after this option is added unless they go
and set it.
When "Trickplay previews" is enabled, it shows an simple overlay when
using the D-Pad to seek (without the full overlay open). The new simple
overlay is the same implementation of the components in the full
overlay: seekbar, trickplay images, current playhead time, remaining
time. The components were pulled from the full overlay's inline UI code
into their own reusable components, now used in both the full overlay
and the simple overlay.
#### Notes
I could see there being an adjustment for the overlay hide delay. It's
currently hard coded to 1.5s.
This could be the default method, but it seems like preference is split
as to whether people want this, or the minimalistic skipped seconds only
version.

This is directly in response to this issue, as well as my own desire for
the feature :)

It's also loosely related to this issue, in that it would solve it since
it shows the playhead and remaining times.

### Testing
Built and tested on an Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max. I wouldn't
anticipate and compatibility or performance changes since it's a simple
settings/UI change involving already-used UI components.

## Description
A library's grid page tries to highlight the first letter of the focused
item. But if the first letter was a not in the alphabet string (which
varies by language), a exception was thrown on the main thread causing a
freeze.
This PR ensures only a non-negative index is highlighted on the letter
buttons.

### Testing
Emulator, I manually passed a non-`[0-9A-Z]` character to replicate the
freeze

Switches to use the Artists API instead of Items API when fetching the
list of artists in a library.
Enables fetching artists, albums, and music videos in a collection.
Also adds titles for the remaining `BaseItemKind` types for future
proofing even if they aren't used anywhere in the app.

## Description
Changes to searching & downloading subtitles:
- Activating newly downloaded subtitles more reliably
- Better audio index adjustment checks after downloading subtitles
- Sort subtitle downloadable options by whether the file hash matches
first
- Update the UI for subtitle downloadable options
Also, some improvements to the subtitle choice dialog:
- It now loops from top to bottom (and vice versa)
- It now focuses initially on current choice
### Dev notes
This PR now the selected tracks from `state.currentItemPlayback` to
`state.currentPlayback`. `currentItemPlayback` now only reflects the
user's choices saved in the database instead of a combination of DB and
"actual" state. `currentPlayback` stores the actual, resolved track
indexes regardless of how they were derived.
This means the indexes values in `state.currentItemPlayback` and
`state.currentPlayback` may be different. For example, if the user has
chosen "Only forced", `state.currentItemPlayback==-3` but
`state.currentPlayback` might be an actual forced track index.

## Description
Changes the chapter cards to use the chapter's image's aspect ratio
instead of forcing the video's aspect ratio. These ratios can be
different sometimes often for "dummy" chapters.
Also, the font size for the chapter name & position is reduced a bit.
