On launch and on every destination switch the first card of the
content gets focus automatically - invisible focus on chrome confused
'Do I need to press DOWN first?'. The search button shows a white ring
when focused, and the top bar gained a real account button (person
icon + logged-in username) replacing the cryptic monitor icon.
start-emulator.sh: headless-safe boot (no -gpuhost crash without a
display), whitelists adb public keys headlessly (drop them into
/tmp/jtube-adbkeys/), and starts the socat bridge itself.
scrcpy cannot talk to headless emulators inside the container: the
AOSP ATD image lacks framework pieces (KeyCharacterMap NPE) and there
is no GPU/KVM in the container at all. The script boots the android-tv
image image on the host with -gpu host and a window (so the RSA dialog
is clickable), installs the current debug APK and leaves the app
running; the container's socat bridge then exposes it as
rutherford:5556 for adb/scrcpy from anywhere.
Paused playback now shows a bottom panel with channel + title + views
+ upload date and position instead of the controller bar (which hid
itself while paused - it was colliding with custom info). The
controller no longer flashes 4 s at playback start: it only reveals
on UP/DOWN-style keys.
For the TV frame-rate complaint: thumbnails decode at 480x270 RGB_565
via a global Coil loader and avatars at 160px, instead of full-size
1080p+ jpegs re-composited per scroll frame. Measured on the
software-rendered emulator: stable 10% janky / p50 18ms during row
scrolling; real-hardware measurement via scripts/fps-check.sh when
the couch is free.
BACK from a Home row also refocuses the watched card now (row-local
focus requesters + restore token), fixing the 'focus lands two-three
cards left' complaint.
Releases need more than eyeballs: scripts/e2e-api-check.sh now runs
18 assertions over the live instance (login/refresh, listings, private
rows, subscriptions incl. remote channels, watching + stored position,
file token, playlist reachability) and TESTS.md defines the manual
D-pad checkout that a script cannot do.
Also switch the channels screen to the user's own channels (the
search-based local listing rejects empty queries) and resolve the real
account name at login since logins accept email addresses.
