Summary

  • Android TV and Fire TV devices can stop delivering lifecycle callbacks to the player while the process stays alive. Pausing alone left the 10s progress reporter heartbeating a server session that nobody was watching, so the server kept the session open indefinitely (reported on Discord).
  • TvPlayerScreen now treats Lifecycle.Event.ON_STOP as a real exit: it sets exitRequested, calls viewModel.stopSessionForExitAsync(...) with the controller's current position and duration, and stops the mediaController.
  • The exitRequested guard makes this idempotent with the existing explicit exit path, so leaving the player the normal way does not tear the session down twice.
  • PiP is unaffected: the activity stays started while in picture-in-picture, so ON_STOP does not fire and playback keeps running.
  • One file changed: androidTvApp/src/androidMain/kotlin/org/siloserver/silo/tv/ui/screens/player/TvPlayerScreen.kt (+15).

Testing

  • ./gradlew :androidTvApp:assembleDebug — Not run.
  • ./gradlew test — Not run.
  • Manual: background the TV player with Home and confirm the server session ends and progress stops reporting — Not run.
  • Manual: enter PiP and confirm playback continues and the session stays open — Not run.
  • Manual: exit the player with Back and confirm the session ends once with the correct resume position — Not run.

Risks and follow-ups

  • The position and duration come from mediaController?.currentPosition / duration, which are nullable at ON_STOP. If the controller is already released, the session ends without a final position and resume falls back to the last reported progress.
  • Worth confirming PiP behavior on a real Fire TV device, since the fix depends on ON_STOP not firing there.
  • No issue link available; this came in through Discord.

Note

End TV playback session on player ON_STOP and guard detached stop

  • Adds an ON_STOP lifecycle branch to TvPlayerScreen that calls stopPlaybackAndExit when exitRequested is false, so the player leaves its destination on stop rather than relying on prior lifecycle handling.
  • Changes the TvPlayerViewModel exit teardown to call stopDetached only when exitSessionId is non-null via a null-safe let block, instead of invoking it unconditionally.
  • Behavioral Change: stopDetached is no longer called during exit teardown when exitSessionId is null; review TvPlayerViewModel exit teardown to confirm no session needs stopping in that case.

Macroscope summarized f217305.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • TV playback sessions now close reliably when leaving the player screen or moving the app to the background.
    • Playback position is preserved during session cleanup to support more accurate resume behavior.
    • Media controls are paused, stopped, and cleared cleanly to prevent unexpected playback.
    • Users are returned through the standard exit flow after playback cleanup completes.

- Tear down the server session on ON_STOP when the player was not exited explicitly, so the 10s progress reporter stops heartbeating a dead session on TV/Fire TV devices that skip lifecycle callbacks.
- Guard with the existing exit flag so it stays idempotent with the explicit exit path and leaves PiP playback running.

TV player lifecycle cleanup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Stop playback on ON_STOP
androidTvApp/src/androidMain/kotlin/org/siloserver/silo/tv/ui/screens/player/TvPlayerScreen.kt
The lifecycle observer now delegates ON_STOP to stopPlaybackAndExit(). The shared path performs room departure, controller cleanup, position-aware asynchronous session teardown, and exit callback invocation.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~8 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: rxwatcher

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2ff55

Stopping the player during initial loading can leave old asynchronous cleanup able to stop a replacement episode, causing playback to fail until the user retries. This should be fixed before merging.

P1 Badge Exit the player route after ON_STOP teardown

When the user presses Home and later reopens the app while the process survives—the exact TV/Fire TV scenario targeted here—this branch terminates playback and sets exitRequested but never invokes latestOnExit. Because MainTvActivity is singleTask, the existing player destination resumes; stopSessionForExitAsync has cleared streamUrl, while exitRequested prevents remounting and makes Back's guarded stopPlaybackAndExit a no-op, trapping the user on a black screen. Navigate away as part of this terminal teardown, or explicitly reload/reset the player on resume.

RetriggerConfidence Score: 4/5

This PR is not safe to merge until the player can recover-or leave the player destination-after an ordinary Home/background-and-return lifecycle.

P1 Backgrounding permanently stops playback

Pressing Home triggers ON_STOP without removing this NavHost destination. This branch permanently sets the remembered exitRequested flag, clears the playback session, and stops the controller. When the user returns to the existing activity, no resume path recreates a solo session, and the playback-mount effects remain disabled by exitRequested, so playback cannot resume.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at f217305

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a small, localized Android TV lifecycle fix that ends stale playback sessions on activity stop and safely scopes asynchronous teardown to the session owned by the player route. The existing exit callback removes the player destination, and the supplied review concerns are addressed or contradicted by the current head.

Addressed the lifecycle review finding in commits 1ba0a6db and 2ff55111. When the player activity reaches ON_STOP, it now uses the existing stopPlaybackAndExit() path, which tears down the session and leaves the player destination. This prevents returning to a stopped/black route while retaining the PiP exemption. Validation: ./gradlew :androidTvApp:compileDebugKotlin passed.

Do not issue an unqualified detached stop when no session was adopted.

TvPlayerScreen calls stopSessionForExitAsync() on ON_STOP and then pops the route. During initial loading, exitSessionId can be null. PlaybackTeardownGate.stopDetached() passes that null to PlaybackSessionLifecycle.stopAsync(), whose ownership guard runs only for non-null IDs. A replacement episode can therefore be adopted before the detached job runs, allowing the old stop to stop the new session and reset the singleton lifecycle. Skip teardown when exitSessionId is null, or retain and pass the outgoing session ID.

Fixed the teardown ownership finding in commit $(git rev-parse --short HEAD). stopSessionForExitAsync() now skips stopDetached when exitSessionId is null, preventing an old loading route from stopping a replacement session adopted before the queued teardown runs. Validation: ./gradlew :androidTvApp:compileDebugKotlin passed.
