What's New

Phase 13: Dynamic Transcoding for Universal Media Playback

This release adds comprehensive transcoding support for media playback, ensuring compatibility across all device types including audio-only devices like Sonos speakers.

Features

  • Universal Audio Endpoint: Audio playback now uses Emby's universal audio endpoint for maximum device compatibility
  • Device Profiles: Predefined transcoding profiles for different playback scenarios
  • Transcoding Session Management: Proper lifecycle management for transcoding sessions
  • PlaybackInfo API: New API methods for querying playback capabilities and stream URLs
  • Device ID Generation: Functions for generating consistent device IDs for transcoding sessions

Bug Fixes

  • Audio-only Device Compatibility: Fixed media browsing to use MIME type prefixes (audio/, video/) instead of MediaType constants, allowing audio-only Cast devices (Sonos, etc.) to see and play music content
  • Audio Playback: Fixed empty UserId in universal audio endpoint causing playback failures

CI/CD

  • Added homeassistant-stubs to test dependencies for consistent mypy behavior between local development and CI

Technical

  • 1102 tests with 100% code coverage
