What

The player timeline now renders all four server-detected marker types instead of just the intro. Previously the client decoded and displayed only the intro band, and even credits were ignored on the timeline, while the server was already sending four kinds: intro, credits, recap, and preview.

Each marker now gets its own tinted band on the scrubber, on both phone and TV:

Marker Color
Intro Cyan
Recap Green
Credits Orange
Preview Purple

Why

The Silo server has supported recap and preview markers for a while, but the Android clients were dropping them. The realtime markers_updated decoder only read the intro and credits keys, and even credits were never drawn on the timeline (they were used only to trigger the "Up Next" auto-advance). So two of the four marker kinds the server identifies simply never reached the UI.

This closes that gap by threading recap and preview through the same pipeline intro/credits already use, and drawing all four as distinct bands.

Changes

  • Data model: added recap and preview fields to the catalog models (WatchDetail and the source model).
  • Realtime decoding: markers_updated now parses all four marker kinds instead of just intro and credits.
  • Plumbing: threaded the new fields through the playback start result, player UI state, both video playback starters, and both app view models (including the phone's offline/local path).
  • Rendering: replaced the single intro band with a loop over all four markers in both PlayerProgressBar (phone) and TvPlayerScrubber (TV), each with a distinct color.
  • Tests: extended PlaybackMarkersUpdateTest to cover recap and preview decoding.

Not changed

  • Intro auto-skip still only reacts to the intro marker, and the "Up Next" auto-advance still only reacts to credits — recap and preview are display-only for now.
  • The "Auto-Skip Recap" setting remains behavior-less; this PR adds timeline display, not a skip feature.

Verification

  • :androidApp:compileDebugKotlin and :androidTvApp:compileDebugKotlin both build clean.
  • PlaybackMarkersUpdateTest passes with the new recap/preview assertions.
  • Manual validation using Shield Pro w/ theintrodb plugin for displaying all four types, and validating they show properly on the timeline in the player.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added recap and preview markers to video playback metadata.
    • Mobile and TV players now display recap, preview, intro, and credits ranges on progress bars.
    • Playback updates now keep all marker ranges synchronized during viewing.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for decoding recap and preview marker ranges.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Playback metadata now includes recap and preview ranges. Android and TV playback state propagate these ranges from watch details and realtime updates to player controls. Mobile and TV progress indicators render distinct marker bands for intro, recap, credits, and preview.

Playback marker propagation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Marker contracts and decoding

Catalog details and playback marker updates now expose nullable recap and preview ranges. Tests cover decoding and absent values.
Playback result and state propagation
androidApp/src/androidMain/kotlin/.../player/*, androidTvApp/src/androidMain/kotlin/.../player/*, android-shared/src/androidMain/kotlin/.../video/*
Playback starters, coordinators, realtime controllers, and player view models transfer recap and preview ranges into mobile and TV playback state.
Mobile marker rendering
androidApp/src/androidMain/kotlin/.../player/PlayerControls.kt, PlayerOverlay.kt, PlayerProgressBar.kt
Mobile controls pass all marker ranges to the progress bar. The progress bar renders colored bands for valid intro, recap, credits, and preview ranges.
TV marker rendering
androidTvApp/src/androidMain/kotlin/.../player/TvPlayerScreen.kt, TvPlayerScrubber.kt
The TV overlay passes validated intervals to the scrubber. The scrubber renders normalized and clamped bands for each marker type.

Update the doc comment to mention recap and preview.

The comment above applyUpdatedMarkers still says "Adopt server-recomputed intro/credits ranges." The function now also adopts recap and preview. Update the comment text to match the new parameter list, as the mobile PlayerViewModel.applyUpdatedMarkers doc comment already does.

Reuse the existing density/barWidthDp locals instead of recomputing them.

The marker-band block declares density and barWidthDp again at Lines 187-188. The chapter-tick block below (Lines 212-213) already computes the same values. Hoist density and barWidthDp once at the top of the track lambda and reuse them in both blocks.

Extract the marker-color mapping into a shared constant. Both platforms hard-code the identical intro/recap/credits/preview color mapping independently. The shared root cause is the absence of one marker-color definition in a common module.

  • androidApp/src/androidMain/kotlin/org/siloserver/silo/android/ui/screens/player/PlayerProgressBar.kt#L189-L194: replace the inline Color.Cyan / 0xFF8BC34A / 0xFFFFB74D / 0xFFBA68C8 mapping with a reference to a shared marker-color constant.

Resolves the TvPlayerIdleOverlay signature conflict with Silo-Server#224's timeline
markers: keep main's creditsRange/recapRange/previewRange, and keep this
branch's removal of isBuffering/sleepTimerState from the idle overlay
(both moved to TvPlayerOverlays so the capsule survives hidden controls).
