Summary

Adds an Audio Codec Priority page under Settings → Playback → Audio Preferences where the codecs (TrueHD, DTS-HD, DTS,
Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Digital, FLAC, PCM, Opus, AAC, Vorbis, MP3) are ranked best first. The
ranking only settles ties between tracks in the preferred language, ahead of channel count. Also
brings a Settings page back to its top when focus reaches the first row.

Type of Change

  • New feature
  • UI/UX update

Changes Made

  • New audioCodecs.js (codec list, spelling normalisation such as ac-3 / dca, DTS-HD told apart
    from the DTS core by its profile).
  • selectPreferredAudioStream ranks tied tracks by the viewer's codec order before channel count.
    Until an order is saved the ranking is not applied at all, so a TV that never opens the page
    picks tracks exactly as before.
  • Settings → Playback → Audio Preferences → "Audio Codec Priority" reuses the button layout editor as an order with nothing
    to switch off; rows show their place in the ranking.
  • Settings pages scroll back to the top when focus reaches the first row, so the heading above it is
    not stranded past the edge.
  • The setting stays on the device (Moonfin Core has no such setting, so it is not synced).
  • Three new strings, added to resources/strings.json in alphabetical order.

Platform

  • Both / Shared code

Testing

  • Manual testing completed
  • Tested on physical device

Unit tests added for codec ranking and for the Settings scroll; lint and the full suite pass.

Test Steps

  1. Settings → Playback → Audio Preferences → Audio Codec Priority.
  2. Move a codec up or down and save.
  3. Play a file with several tracks in your audio language and confirm the highest-ranked codec is chosen.

… the top

Settings gets an Audio Codec Priority page where the codecs are ranked best first. It
only settles ties between tracks in the preferred language, ahead of channel count. A
Settings page now also scrolls back to its top when focus reaches the first row, so the
heading above it is not left past the edge of the screen.

Merge order note

This PR has small merge conflicts with three other open PRs. No other pair of my open PRs conflicts, so please merge this one last:

All three are trivial to resolve. After the others are merged, merge main into this branch and keep both sides: add openAudioCodecs to the array and keep both strings.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added an Audio Codec Priority setting where you can arrange preferred audio formats. Codec priority is considered after language and default-track preferences, and before channel count when choosing among eligible tracks.
    • Added names and descriptions for available audio codec options, including E-AC-3, lossless audio, DTS formats, and uncompressed audio.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Settings now return to the top when focus moves to the first setting, unless pointer hover is active.

Walkthrough

Adds an audio codec priority setting and editor. Audio track selection applies the configured codec order after language matching. Playback logs now include audio-selection details. Settings-list focus handling resets scrolling when focus enters the first row outside pointer-hover mode.

Changes

Audio Codec Priority

Layer / File(s) Summary
Codec catalog and preference
packages/app/src/utils/audioCodecs.js, packages/app/src/context/defaultSettings.js, packages/app/resources/strings.json
Adds an ordered codec catalog and codec-name normalization. Adds localized codec labels and comments about the saved order.
Codec-aware audio track selection
packages/app/src/utils/audioTrackSelection.js, packages/app/src/utils/audioTrackSelection.test.js, packages/app/src/views/Player/TizenPlayer.js, packages/app/src/views/Player/WebOSPlayer.js
Ranks eligible tracks by configured codec order before channel count. Language and default-track preferences retain precedence. Tests cover codec aliases, unlisted codecs, and selection without a saved order. Player logs record the selection reason and available-track details.
Codec priority settings editor

Adds an Audio Codec Priority settings row and editor action. The editor displays codec positions and saves the selected order.

Settings List Focus

Layer / File(s) Summary
Focus handling and scroll behavior
packages/app/src/views/Settings/SettingsView.js, packages/app/src/views/Settings/SettingsView.test.js
Keeps the focused element in view and resets the list scroll position when focus enters the first row outside pointer-hover mode. Tests cover focus on the first and second rows.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to f3be2

These issues do not block playback, but can ignore a saved preference or make troubleshooting logs inaccurate.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to f3be2

The change is confined to playback preferences and existing diagnostic reporting. No new access or credential path was identified. Uncertainty remains around diagnostic-retention expectations and behavior outside the inspected client paths.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The inspected impact is confined to the current device's audio selection and diagnostic buffer, with reports capable of reaching the currently configured authenticated media server. Server-provided audio metadata does not select the report destination or supply upload credentials.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The shared logger checks recording or logging enablement at invocation and recursively applies existing redaction before buffering or console output. The new playback calls are non-immediate. Explicit report upload retains server, token, capability, and response checks, with authentication constructed separately from diagnostic context.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — An in-flight log awaiting device information can append after logging is stopped or the buffer is cleared, because insertion does not recheck lifecycle state. This behavior predates the PR, and existing playback diagnostics already traverse it with comparable metadata. It is not retained as a PR-introduced concern; whether stop should purge or invalidate pending entries remains unspecified.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Define diagnostic stop and clear semantics. If they are intended to invalidate pending entries, use a lifecycle generation check before buffer insertion so asynchronous completions cannot repopulate a cleared session.

…s tracks as before by default

The setting shipped with a default order, which meant every viewer got the codec ranking without
asking for it, and it could pick a different track than before when a file had several in the
same language. With no saved order the ranking is skipped.

…he saved order last

With no track in a named language the codec order was deciding between languages. It now only breaks
ties inside one. The saved ids are used as they are, so an unnamed codec ranks after the named ones,
and an empty saved order ranks nothing.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Keep codec ranking out of mixed-language default selection.

When preferDefaultAudioTrack is true and default candidates have different languages, Line 128 sends them to rankAudioCandidates with this non-empty codecOrder. The codec preference can then select a track in another language. The PR objective says codec order only breaks ties within a named language. Apply codec ranking only when the candidates share a language; otherwise keep the existing channel and index ranking. This is separate from the final fallback addressed at Lines 136-138.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Keep codec ranking for defaults in the same named language.

When two English tracks are both marked isDefault, this branch disables codecOrder for both. Channel count can then select the lower-ranked codec, even when audioLanguage is 'eng'. Disable codec ranking for mixed-language defaults, but retain it when the defaults all match the same named language.

Log the explicitly selected track when one is supplied.

When initialAudioIndex is set, this entry still reports autoAudio, which comes from the automatic preferences and defaults. If the indexes differ, the diagnostic report records the wrong track and reason. Log the explicit index and its matching stream metadata when present; use the automatic choice only when no explicit index is set.

Log the track that playback will actually start.

When initialAudioIndex is set, startingAudio overrides autoAudio at Line 927. This log still reports autoAudio and its automatic-selection reason, so it can name a different track than playback uses. Log the resolved startingAudio and report an explicit-selection reason when applicable.
