Summary

Sports listings often share a program title, such as “College Football.” This fix shows the episode name or matchup in guide cells, program search results, and Now/Next labels so viewers can tell the listings apart. Listings without an episode title keep their existing metadata.

Related Issues

No linked issue. This addresses the missing episode names and matchups observed in the Live TV guide and program search results.

Type of Change

  • Bug fix
  • New feature
  • Refactor
  • Performance improvement
  • UI/UX update
  • Documentation update
  • Build/CI change
  • Other (describe):

Changes Made

  • Use the available episode title for program search subtitles and guide metadata. Include it in Now/Next labels and allow those labels two lines.
  • Give guide rows the existing maximum height of 62 logical pixels, scaled with the interface. On iOS, row and focus borders previously left too little space for the second line. This changes guide density: at 960 × 540, four full channel rows fit instead of five.
  • Lower the metadata width cutoff from 96 to 48 logical pixels. The original cutoff appears intended to keep narrow cells uncluttered, based on the code comment; this is an inference about the original intent. Narrower cells can now show abbreviated episode names, ratings, and categories, and allow title wrapping when height permits. Cells below 48 still omit metadata; long episode names end with an ellipsis.
  • Add regression coverage for missing and blank titles, long matchups, narrow cells, actual row and focus borders, both presentation styles, search response mapping, and Now/Next wrapping. Update compact-layout expectations for the taller rows.

The production patch changes six files: 23 added lines and nine removed lines. It carries the episode title into search subtitles and guide cells, adds it to Now/Next labels, and gives those labels room for two lines. Two layout settings let the guide’s second line appear on smaller screens and in narrower cells. The rest of the diff adds or updates regression tests.

Platform

  • Android
  • Android TV
  • iOS
  • tvOS
  • Web
  • macOS
  • Windows
  • Linux
  • All / Shared code

The change is in shared Flutter code. Manual guide checks used the Android TV app in an emulator and the iOS and tvOS simulators. CI built all supported platforms.

Testing

  • Tested on emulator / simulator

  • Tested on physical device

  • Manual testing completed

  • Not tested (explain why):

  • Before the rebase, CI passed: 3,867 tests passed, analyzer clean, and all platform builds succeeded for commit d7f5116.

  • Rebased onto main at d1244c9 without conflicts. Git range-diff confirms the patch is unchanged; the new PR commit is 4ec9b15. Fresh CI is pending. Local regression tests could not compile because the temporary dependency cache has missing media-kit and background-downloader source files; no passing local test result is claimed for the rebased commit.

  • All 38 focused regression tests passed natively on each of Android, iOS, and tvOS. All 50 guide/search checks passed locally, including the revised compact-layout expectations. All 157 nested-package tests passed, and CI-style analysis reported zero errors.

  • Manual guide checks showed episode names and sports matchups on all three platforms. Android program search results also showed matchups. The contributor tested playback and reported no change in functionality.

  • For transparency, the earlier full local run had 3,636 passes, one skip, and six failures. Two compact-layout expectations were updated and passed on rerun. Three service-test failures passed on rerun with both patched and unchanged source; their initial cause was unconfirmed. The cache-test failure also occurred in unchanged source. The subsequent GitHub CI run passed the full suite.

Test Steps

  1. Open Live TV with guide data that includes episode titles or sports matchups. Confirm the second line appears in guide cells and the episode name appears in Now/Next labels.
  2. Search for a program and confirm its episode name or matchup appears in the result subtitle. Check listings with no episode title still show the existing fallback.
  3. Check narrow and focused guide cells, long episode names, compact screens, and larger interface sizes. Confirm truncation and scrolling work without clipping the second line.
  4. Play media in the patched app and confirm playback behaves as before.

Do me a solid, tell claude to rebase with main

Use episode titles for guide metadata and program search subtitles, and
include them in Now/Next labels. Preserve metadata fallbacks when absent.

Reserve the existing maximum row height for two readable lines. This
changes compact guide density: at 960 x 540, four full rows fit instead of
five. Lower the metadata width cutoff from 96 to 48 logical pixels, which
also allows ratings, categories, and title wrapping in narrower cells.

Add regression coverage for search mapping, missing titles, narrow cells,
real row and focus borders, and both presentation styles. Update compact
layout expectations to reflect the taller rows.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Program and live TV listings now show episode titles in subtitles and guide metadata when available, with existing fallbacks preserved.
    • Now/Next titles include episode details and can wrap to two lines.
    • Guide metadata can fit in narrower program cells and displays long text with an ellipsis.
  • Style

    • Guide rows now use a consistent height, resulting in four fully visible rows in the tested compact landscape layout.

Walkthrough

Program episode titles now appear in search subtitles and Live TV guide displays. EPG cells prioritize episode titles as metadata, Now/Next labels can wrap to two lines, and guide row sizing uses a fixed scaled height.

Unescape episode titles in search subtitles. When a guide source supplies a title such as \"Raygun\", GuideProgram removes the literal backslashes, but this getter displays them in search results. Apply the same normalization before returning the subtitle.

Do not display an episode title that repeats the program name. When the two values match, the new display paths repeat the name. The guide cell also hides its rating and category tags.

Run the TV-canvas cases in TV layout.

The test leaves PlatformDetection in automatic mode, so Android tests leave isTV false. The 960×540 surface still selects the landscape branch by size, but the test shows the non-TV Back button and does not exercise TV-specific branches. Group the tvCanvases cases with TV layout setup and reset to automatic afterward.
