- ErrorInfo.getMessage() now returns an ErrorMessage instance that can be formatted into a string using a context (this allows the construction of an ErrorInfo to remain independent of a Context)
- now the service ID is used in ErrorInfo.getMessage() to customize some messages based on the currently selected service
- player HTTP invalid statuses are now included in the message
- building a custom error message for AccountTerminatedException was moved from ErrorPanelHelper to ErrorInfo
* IcePick fails on Java 21 (default in Android Studio 2024.2)
* Bridge is the most modern alternative that is currently available. It is backed by ``Android-State`` and can be configured with various frameworks
* In the long term this should be replaced with something better

The previous "main" tab is now just a normal tab returned in getTabs().
Various part of the code that used to handle channels as ListInfo now either take the first (playable, i.e. with streams) tab (e.g. the ChannelTabPlayQueue), or take all of them combined (e.g. the feed).
* added LoadingDialog for improving download experience
* [LoadingDialog] Apply some review comments and make title customizable.
* removed permission handling from loading Dialog
* fix checks
* remove <p> Tag from first sentence

We provide visual feedback via a toast to the user that, well, they're supposed to wait; but with the benefit of the cache openAddToPlaylistDialog() may return (almost) immediately, which would render the toast otiose (if not a bit confusing). This commit improves that by cancelling the toast once the wait's over
... (by 'abusing' RxJava's ambWith();
ref on compose() and Transformer: https://blog.danlew.net/2015/03/02/dont-break-the-chain/
and for me, first time laying my hands at RxJava so kindly bear with me; open for suggestions)
pending result for openAddToPlaylistDialog() and openDownloadDialog()
Despite marked deprecated, setRetainInstance(true) is probably our best bet (since a ViewModel is probably too overkill for our present purpose)
so we won't hold up UI while fetching media info for Add to Playlist or Download actions
lest user might think it freezes when in fact a network request is underway
- Handle finish() call instead of passing around callbacks to setOnDismissListener()
- Don't start over again if returning to DialogFragment before orientation change
This seems to solve a bug where the Open action menu dialog does not appear the first time on cold start on older Android (8.0).
This is also the order of things in MainActivity and probably good practice.
Detailed changes:
- External players:
- Add a message instruction about stream selection;
- Add a message when there is no stream available for external players;
- Return now HLS, DASH and SmoothStreaming URL contents, in addition to progressive HTTP ones.
- Player:
- Support DASH, HLS and SmoothStreaming streams for videos, whether they are content URLs or the manifests themselves, in addition to progressive HTTP ones;
- Use a custom HttpDataSource to play YouTube contents, based of ExoPlayer's default one, which allows better spoofing of official clients (custom user-agent and headers (depending of the client used), use of range and rn (set dynamically by the DataSource) parameters);
- Fetch YouTube progressive contents as DASH streams, like official clients, support fully playback of livestreams which have ended recently and OTF streams;
- Use ExoPlayer's default retries count for contents on non-fatal errors (instead of Integer.MAX_VALUE for non-live contents and 5 for live contents).
- Download dialog:
- Add message about support of progressive HTTP streams only for downloading;
- Remove several duplicated code and update relevant usages;
- Support downloading of contents with an unknown media format.
- ListHelper:
- Catch NumberFormatException when trying to compare two video streams between them.
- Tests:
- Update ListHelperTest and StreamItemAdapterTest to fix breaking changes in the extractor.
- Other places:
- Fixes deprecation of changes made in the extractor;
- Improve some code related to the files changed.
- Issues fixed and/or improved with the changes:
- Seeking of PeerTube HLS streams (the duration shown was the one from the stream duration and not the one parsed, incomplete because HLS streams are fragmented MP4s with multiple sidx boxes, for which seeking is not supported by ExoPlayer) (the app now uses the HLS manifest returned for each quality, in the master playlist (not fetched and computed by the extractor));
- Crash when loading PeerTube streams with a separated audio;
- Lack of some streams on some YouTube videos (OTF streams);
- Loading times of YouTube streams, after a quality change or a playback start;
- View count of YouTube ended livestreams interpreted as watching count (this type of streams is not interpreted anymore as livestreams);
- Watchable time of YouTube ended livestreams;
- Playback of SoundCloud HLS-only tracks (which cannot be downloaded anymore because the workaround which was used is being removed by SoundCloud, so it has been removed from the extractor).
Prefering video-only streams to video streams for our player will allow us to make seamless transitions on 360 and 720p qualities on YouTube.
External players and the downloader are not affected by this change.
