A single-language interface makes the app less usable for part of the audience
and encourages more hardcoded copy as new screens and states are added.
Introducing a shared i18n path with a persisted language preference gives the
UI one consistent way to present text and lowers the risk of partial or
inconsistent localization over time.
The surrounding copy cleanup belongs in the same change because it aligns
existing labels, messages, and settings text with that translation structure
instead of leaving mixed localization approaches in place.
German documentation in CLAUDE.md was a barrier for any contributor or
tool without German language context. English is the project's working
language for code and commits — the docs should match.
README.md (bilingual) received new entries for logout confirmation,
shared types layer, ChapterPanel, and QualityPanel in both EN and DE.
The Joystick API (/dev/input/js*) numbers buttons depending on driver
and connection type. Xbox One controllers via Bluetooth with a Share
button shifted X from button number 2 to 3, silently breaking the
mapping.
The evdev interface provides standardized BTN_* codes (BTN_SOUTH=A,
BTN_NORTH=X, etc.) that remain consistent across Xbox, PlayStation,
and Nintendo controllers over both USB and Bluetooth.
js* devices remain the discovery path, while /sys/class/input/jsN is
used to resolve the corresponding event* device. If the /sys lookup
fails, JoystickFallbackReader falls back to the old Joystick API.
Quality selection during playback:
- Add getAvailableQualities() in streamlink via --json, sorted by fixed order
- Expose playback:get-qualities IPC channel (handlers, preload, type declarations)
- Add quality panel in PlaybackOverlay:
- Button + dropdown
- Keyboard navigation (X: open, arrows: navigate, Enter: confirm, Escape: close)
- Quality change triggers streamlink restart; VOD resumes at current position
- Available in ChannelScreen (Live + VOD) and AppShell global overlay (Live)
- Add QualityIcon
Chapter panel UX improvements:
- Video no longer pauses when chapter panel opens
- PlaybackOverlay is hidden via conditional render instead
- Remove wasPlayingBeforeChapters state (no longer needed)
- X button seeks to video start when no chapters are found, with hint in panel UI
VOD cards and defaults:
- Show view count with eye icon on VOD cards (matching playback overlay style)
- Change default streamBadgeMode from 'language' to 'both'
