1//! Telling a *finished* stream apart from a *truncated* one.
2//!
3//! TRACES: UR-040 | DR-129 | UT-117
4//!
5//! Background audio-only playback of a video item streams a **progressive mp3
6//! transcode over plain HTTP** (see
7//! `OnlineRepository::build_audio_only_stream_url_for_video`). That response has
8//! no reliable length — a live transcode is chunked — so when the connection
9//! drops mid-episode the data source simply sees end-of-input. ExoPlayer cannot
10//! distinguish that from the real end of the media and reports
11//! `Player.STATE_ENDED`, which the app then treats as "the episode finished".
12//!
13//! The user-visible damage is not the missed advance itself. Playback parks in
14//! ExoPlayer's `STATE_ENDED`, and the next play intent from the lockscreen,
15//! notification or a Bluetooth reconnect goes through media3's
16//! `Util.handlePlayButtonAction`, which seeks an ENDED player to its default
17//! position before playing — so **the episode starts over from 0:00**. On a
18//! flaky connection that reads as "it randomly restarts the episode".
19//!
20//! The player itself has no way to know; the *duration* does. Jellyfin gives us
21//! the item's real runtime, so an end reported well short of it is a truncation,
22//! not a finish — and the right response is to re-open the stream where it died,
23//! which is the "buffer and resume" the user expects.

28/// natural finish.
29///
30/// Sized to swallow the two sources of slack in the comparison — the position
31/// poll is up to 250 ms stale, and Jellyfin's reported runtime can disagree with
32/// the transcoded output by a second or two — while staying far below the
33/// minutes-long gap a dropped connection leaves. Erring long is the safe
34/// direction: a false "finished" is the bug we are fixing, whereas a false
35/// "truncated" only re-opens the stream for its last few seconds and then ends
36/// again normally.

41/// A resume re-opens the same URL, so a server that is genuinely gone would

60/// Would the *player's own* load-error retry restart this stream from its
61/// beginning? If so the retry must be switched off and recovery left to
62/// [`crate::player::PlayerController::recoverable_error_resume`].
63///
64/// ExoPlayer resumes a failed load in place only when it knows where "in place"
65/// is: `ProgressiveMediaPeriod.configureRetry` keeps the load position when the
66/// content length is known *or* the extractor produced a seek map with a
67/// duration, and otherwise treats the source as live — the data at the URL is
68/// assumed to have changed, so it resets every sample queue and re-requests the
69/// URL from offset 0.
70///
71/// The handoff transcode satisfies neither condition: it is chunked (no
72/// `Content-Length`) and a live mp3 encode carries no `Xing` header, so the
73/// player reports its duration as unset — visible in logcat as every position
74/// tick reading `<position> / 0.0`. Its URL carries `StartTimeTicks` = the
75/// handoff point, so restarting it from offset 0 restarts the *episode* at the
76/// handoff point, and playback then runs on from there. Nothing surfaces: no
77/// error, no `STATE_ENDED`, so neither the truncation path nor the error path of
78/// DR-129 is consulted, and the app's only sign of it is a position that jumps
79/// backwards. That is the "it randomly jumps back to where audio-only started"
80/// the user sees, and how random it is depends on whether a network blip happens
81/// to land while a load is in flight rather than while the ~50s buffer covers it.
82///
83/// A retry that can only restart the stream is worth less than no retry at all:
84/// declining it turns the silent rewind into a recoverable error, which
85/// `recoverable_error_resume` answers by re-opening the stream at the position
86/// playback actually reached (`StartTimeTicks` rewritten, backoff and attempt
87/// budget included). Every other source keeps the player's retry: a static file
88/// and an HLS playlist both declare their timeline, so ExoPlayer resumes them
89/// exactly where the load failed.
