Up next: a server-side queue anyone edits by item id (add at end or next, move, remove, play now, skip); each item says who added it and how it plays. At the real end the first item swaps in after the end card's countdown, put up by whoever can (its adder for through-me links and files, someone with access for Jellyfin, else anyone); items that can't play are skipped with the reason. The next item's link is resolved ahead. Greyed "Continues with" episodes below. A chip with the controls opens it as a popover (leaf_widgets, local path dependency for now); "Add to queue" next to Put it up everywhere. Delivery: the server measures the source's rate, the media's bitrate and each member's read rate; the members card shows a source line (who passes it on, through what, keeping up or not, source left) and each member's route and buffer. A slow source is told once per media. A failed server fetch is announced to everyone. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Roadmap
Backlog and epics, in order. Done work lives in git history. Check an item off by deleting it in the same commit as the code. Wire changes also edit PROTOCOL.md.
Backlog
-
Auto-skip OP/ED (undecided): who decides and how (shared for the server, personal, per show) is open. Constraint: a skip is a seek and seeks are shared, and only real ranges (segments, OP/ED chapters) should ever be skipped.
-
Files: next episode from Files (by parsed episode, with the countdown, and under Up next's "Continues with"). Later: tracking for file series.
-
yt-dlp follow-ups (see ARCHITECTURE "yt-dlp"): check that the bundled Windows libmpv has the ytdl hook (Lua) and plays
edl://URLs through media_kit; if not, resolve in the app and open the relay tracks' formats. YouTube: yt-dlp wants a JS runtime (deno) for full extraction. Formats that need yt-dlp's cookies.- Live streams through the relay (today refused: the sync model needs a fixed duration and seeking).
tool/relay_e2e.dart: a two-track case (bytes and pieces) over a shaped source link. Pieces on a slow source: a cold piece can take longer than media_kit's 5 snetwork-timeout; if it does, fetch the first pieces before settingrelay.live.- Pieces, unverified so far: the 403/410 re-resolve against a real
expiring HLS (signed segment URLs), HLS discontinuities / ad
splicing, Windows' bundled ffmpeg with extensionless piece URLs
(
p/<i>; fine with ffmpeg 9 on Linux). - Thumbnails and scrubbing previews of a relayed media with tracks should open the video track's URL alone, not the EDL.
-
AniList account: sign in (OAuth via a localhost callback), "My list" filter on the Schedule from the user's AniList lists. This is the Schedule's personal tracking; AnimeFlow has no per-user follow.
-
Ops:
leaf_widgets(the Up next popover'sLeafPopover) is a local path dependency: make it a git dependency likefox_utilsbefore the next release (CI cannot see the path), or go back to the app's popover route. Check shaders on Windows; the relay e2e "source drops uncleanly and resumes" fails about half the time under the full suite. -
Windows: first real use. CI builds and publishes
watch-together-<ver>-windows-x64.zip(libmpv bundled) and runs the updater tests on NTFS; a friend has joined from it. Still unchecked: fullscreen controls, hosting (firewall prompt), in-app update from one release to the next. The rest of the desktop tests are not in CI. -
Relay follow-ups (see ARCHITECTURE "Relay"). First real use: owner's PC -> VPS -> friend, Jellyfin and a file. Then:
- Source takeover: when the source leaves, another member with an account on that Jellyfin (or the same file: name, size, hash) takes over instead of the buffer running dry.
- "Bob can't open this link — relay it?": offer the relay to whoever put a direct link up when a viewer's player fails to open it.
-
Jellyfin (epic, below).
-
Smaller items
- Video output robustness: if media_kit's hardware path regresses to software (see ARCHITECTURE, Media: render mode), vendor a media_kit_video fix that builds the EGL display from GDK's native display. The video freeze after GPU idle is not explained by this; next suspect is media_kit's context switching on the raster thread with NVIDIA.
- Link conveniences: a link swap in session updates the remembered media; show the open link with an open-in-browser button.
- Time UI: remaining time, scrubber preview.
- mpv / mpv.net shortcut parity.
- Chaos suite: host drop 5 s / 30 s, viewer stall, 20-seek storm, long
outage with cache exhaustion (
tool/shaper.dart --kill-after); assert no OOM, no stuck session, drift recovers. - Chat history pane (today: activity log only).
- Images in chat (paste a screenshot; server memory only): possible, not wanted yet.
- HTTP: move the app's clients (Jellyfin, AniList, AnimeFlow, updater)
to dio from
fox_utilswhen touching them, for retries/interceptors. - TLS: document a reverse proxy in front of the server.
- Up next follow-ups (see ARCHITECTURE "Up next"): getting the first item ready only resolves its link; fetching its first seconds early through the relay would make relayed starts instant too. A member whose reconnect lands as a new member loses its "through me" links and files in the queue (skipped as gone); the key could follow the member. A whole season or a pick list at once ("Add the rest of the season").
- Sidecar subtitles.
Epic: Jellyfin
What is left (the rest is in ARCHITECTURE.md, "Jellyfin in a session"):
- Auto-advance cancel for everyone (the next episode and Up next): today Cancel is per screen (the designated swapper's Cancel stops the swap; a seek stops all). A shared cancel needs a wire message.
- Sidecar (external) subtitle streams of Jellyfin items: only embedded tracks are mapped to mpv today.
