CollotsSpot/Ensemble v2.9.2-beta on GitHub

Long-press context menus on all media items: Albums, artists, tracks, playlists, podcasts, and radio stations now all support long-press to show a context menu with Play, Add to Library, and Favorite options.

Podcast episode detail screen: Tap "View Details" from episode context menu to see full scrollable description, publish date, duration, with Play, Play On, and Add to Queue actions.
Episode sorting: Sort podcast episodes by newest first, oldest first, alphabetical, or duration.

Hi-res audio badge: Track listings now show a hi-res badge when high quality audio is available.

New library icon: Replaced confusing library icon with clearer book icon (book_2) across bottom nav, search filter, detail screens, and context menus. Filled when in library, outlined when not.
Player selector: Replaced popup dialog with player select overlay for queue actions.
Search library filter: Filled icon indicates active filter state without background highlight.
Context menu polish: Slightly larger buttons (46px), wider menu (185px), consistent text colors that don't pick up adaptive theming.
Navigation transitions: Smoother fade/slide animations between screens.
Hero animations: Podcast episode images animate smoothly to detail screen.

Library list optimization: Standardized list item heights with itemExtent, reduced image cache sizes for smoother scrolling.
Palette extraction: Moved to isolate for better UI responsiveness during color extraction.
Provider selects: Optimized provider state watching to reduce unnecessary rebuilds.

Fixed audiobooks not loading after provider re-add: When removing and re-adding an AudiobookShelf provider, the app would show 0 audiobooks because saved library paths referenced the old provider instance ID. Now automatically clears stale settings and falls back to the library_items API.
Fixed duplicate provider filter options: After re-adding a provider, two entries for the same provider could appear in the library filter menu. Now deduplicates providers by name, keeping the one with more items.
Fixed multiple accounts of same service not showing: When you have multiple accounts of the same service (e.g., two Spotify accounts for different family members), only one would appear in the library menu provider toggles. Now all accounts with distinct names are shown.
Fixed audiobook year sorting: Sort by year now works correctly for audiobooks. Fixed two issues:
- Year data is now properly extracted from ABS's metadata.release_date field (handles both "2024" and "2024-01-15" formats)
- Sort handler now properly supports ascending and descending year sorts

Fixed letter scrollbar showing irrelevant letters: When sorting by date or play count, the scrollbar popup now hides instead of showing meaningless letters. Shows contextual info based on sort type (letters for alphabetical, years for year sort, hidden for date/count sorts).
Fixed sorting not working for date added, last played, play count: These sort options now correctly preserve server-side sorting instead of re-sorting alphabetically on the client. Affected albums, artists, and tracks tabs.
Fixed playlists sorting: Modified, last played, and play count sorting now works for playlists by properly requesting sorted data from the server.
Fixed ascending/descending not working: Sort direction now properly applies for all sort types across albums, artists, playlists, and audiobooks.
Fixed list not updating when sort order changes: Added sort order to ListView/GridView keys to force UI rebuilds when changing sort direction.

Fixed stale provider IDs persisting in settings: When toggling providers, stale provider instance IDs (from removed providers) are now automatically cleaned up from saved settings.

Fixed Spotify external source detection (issue #27): Properly detects when Spotify is the music provider.
Fixed foreground service not stopping (issue #51): Auto-stops after 30 minutes idle.
Fixed Sendspin proxy auth: Now works correctly for local network connections.

Fixed nav bar hidden when no player selected: Navigation bar now always visible.
Fixed Flutter 3.38 slider grey rectangles: Volume and seek sliders render correctly.
Fixed library tab scroll position: Maintains position when switching tabs.
