From eb3abf3a0e82d6ee25909ac8c208f6f8473b736e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ScreenTinker Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2026 18:47:51 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Tizen player 1.9.1-beta3: bug fixes, multi-zone layouts, video walls Brings the Tizen TV player to parity with the other players: closes the five Tizen issues Bold Media Group filed (#118-#122) and adds the two larger renderer features it was still missing. Fixes (#118-#122) - #118 Sticky "Not authenticated" banner. On TV sleep/wake the socket reconnects and a heartbeat could land on the fresh, not-yet-registered socket; the server rejected it and the old handler painted a permanent banner AND dropped the saved credentials, forcing a re-pair. Heartbeats are now gated on a per-connection authenticated flag (true only between device:registered and disconnect/auth-error), the heartbeat stops on connect/disconnect/auth-error, the banner clears on device:registered, and the auth-error toast is non-sticky. - #119 app_version stuck at 1.0.0. Resolved at runtime from config.xml via the Tizen application API, with a fallback constant that build-wgt.sh stamps from config.xml. - #121 Remote commands. Added a device:command handler (refresh/launch/screen_on/ screen_off; honest no-op toasts for update/reboot/shutdown, which need B2B/MDM privileges a sideloaded app lacks). Removed the dead device:reload listener. - #120 Dashboard preview. Added device:screenshot-request + remote-start/remote-stop. Images capture; video/YouTube fall back to a status card (TV hardware video plane and cross-origin iframes can't be read into a canvas). - #122 Updates/boot. Documented the real paths (re-sideload or URL Launcher/MDM refresh; display-level kiosk/boot settings) since a sideloaded .wgt has no in-app OTA or config.xml autostart. Multi-zone layouts (Android parity) - New ZoneRenderer ports the Android ZoneManager: zones positioned by percent geometry with z_index/fit_mode/background, assignments grouped by zone_id (unassigned content goes to the first zone), each zone rotating independently with the same per-item schedule gating (#74/#75). app.js selects the renderer from payload.layout; single-zone playback is unchanged. Video walls (web-player parity; Android has none) - New WallController mirrors the web player: when payload.wall_config is present the stage is positioned (vw/vh) as this screen's slice of the wall. The leader plays normally and broadcasts wall:sync at 4Hz; followers hold the leader's item, align index, and lock their video to the leader's clock with a latency-compensated drift controller (hard-seek past 0.3s, gentle +/-3% playbackRate nudge past 0.05s), and request an immediate position on (re)connect via wall:sync-request. Per-tile rotation is not applied yet (matches the web player). Wall emits are gated on auth + connection so a pre-register tick can't trip device:auth-error. Not ported: video-wall per-tile rotation, plus the minor Android-only reporting events (device:playback-state, device:log) and the N/A offline-cache events (device:content-ack/content-delete). None affect on-screen playback. Verified: JS syntax + headless unit tests of zone grouping/geometry and wall leader/follower + drift logic. NOT yet validated on Tizen hardware - multi-screen video sync in particular needs a real wall to tune. --- CHANGELOG.md | 46 ++++++ tizen/README.md | 61 ++++++- tizen/build-wgt.sh | 9 + tizen/css/style.css | 5 + tizen/js/app.js | 189 +++++++++++++++++++-- tizen/js/player.js | 389 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 6 files changed, 683 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 84cbe43..a02a270 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -1,5 +1,51 @@ # Changelog +## 1.9.1-beta3 — unreleased + +### Fixed — Tizen player +- **#118 Sticky "Not authenticated" banner.** On TV sleep/wake the socket reconnects and + a heartbeat could fire on the fresh, not-yet-registered socket; the server rejected it + with `device:auth-error`, which the player showed as a *sticky* toast over still-playing + content (and, worse, dropped its saved credentials and re-paired).
