  • launch.random now accepts a collection link and launches one random item from it: kodi-show:// picks an episode, kodi-album:// and kodi-artist:// pick a song, and deck:// picks a deck item. Kodi's own library supplies the list, so it no longer depends on title matching.
  • playlist.play and playlist.load build a playlist from the same links, so mode=shuffle, playlist.next and repeat work on a Kodi show, album or artist.
  • A plain kodi-show://, kodi-album:// or kodi-artist:// launch still hands the whole collection to Kodi.
  • platforms.Launcher gains an optional Collection hook, implemented by the Kodi show, album and artist launchers. Kodi song lists are fetched with a new album/artist filter on AudioLibrary.GetSongs.
  • Deck loading is split into loadDeckItems and a shared collection resolver in pkg/zapscript/collections.go. Deck trust rules are unchanged: a deck's items run untrusted when the deck is not owned or the caller is untrusted.
  • A random roll on a deck queues a one-item playlist, so it skips the launch guard the way a rotating launch.random does. That playlist carries no deck ID, so a deck refresh does not replace the item with the whole deck.
  • tags= on a collection link is rejected instead of ignored.

Closes #351

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added collection browsing and playback for Kodi TV shows, albums, and artists, including episode and song listings.
    • Added collection support for playlists and random playback, including decks.
  • Bug Fixes
    • TV show playback now follows updated show IDs when available.
    • Episode and song display names are formatted consistently.

launch.random and the playlist commands now expand collection links into
their items. Kodi shows, albums and artists list their episodes or songs
from Kodi's own library, and deck:// links list their deck items.

- launch.random on a collection link launches one random item.
- playlist.play and playlist.load build a playlist from the items.
- Launcher gains an optional Collection hook; the Kodi show, album and
  artist launchers implement it.

Closes #351

📝 Walkthrough

Kodi TV show, album, and artist launchers now expose collections. ZapScript resolves collections for playlist playback and random selection, including random launches from decks.

Changes: Media collection playback

Layer / File(s) Summary
Collection contract and song queries
pkg/platforms/platforms.go, pkg/platforms/shared/kodi/types.go, pkg/platforms/shared/kodi/interface.go, pkg/platforms/shared/kodi/client.go, pkg/platforms/shared/kodi/*_test.go, pkg/testing/mocks/kodi_client.go
Launcher gains a collection callback, and CollectionItem represents each item’s name and path. Kodi adds album- and artist-filtered song queries, updates its client interface and filter type, and adds matching request tests and mocks.
Kodi collection listing
pkg/platforms/shared/kodi/collection.go, pkg/platforms/shared/kodi/launchers.go, pkg/platforms/shared/kodi/client.go, pkg/platforms/shared/kodi/scanner.go, pkg/platforms/shared/kodi/collection_test.go
Kodi converts TV show episodes and album or artist songs into collection items. The TV show collector resolves the current show record before listing episodes. Album, artist, and TV show launchers expose collection callbacks, and scanner names use the shared formatters.
Collection resolution and playlists
pkg/zapscript/collections.go, pkg/zapscript/playlist.go, pkg/zapscript/playlist_deck.go, pkg/zapscript/collections_test.go
ZapScript resolves launcher and deck collections. It converts collections into playlists, applies playlist arguments, and preserves collection metadata. Deck loading returns collection data instead of constructing a playlist directly.
Random collection launches
pkg/zapscript/collections.go, pkg/zapscript/launch.go, pkg/zapscript/playlist.go, pkg/zapscript/commands.go, pkg/zapscript/collections_test.go
Random launch selects one item from a collection. Media items launch directly; other items queue as a one-item playlist. Deck random commands also queue one item, and queued random launches use the updated media-launch guard exemption.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e529a

Playing a Kodi show, album, or artist as a playlist may run episodes or tracks out of order, because the collection does not request or apply sorting. Random single-item launches are not affected. Sorting collection items should be confirmed or added before merging.

Explanation

Issue #351 is directly linked and has coding requirements. platforms.Launcher.Collection and the Kodi show, album, and artist collectors expand collection links into stable episode or song paths. resolveShow resolves the current show identity before episode lookup. launch.random selects and launches one item. playlist.play and playlist.load retain full collection playback and support shuffle, next, and repeat. Plain collection launches remain unchanged. Tests cover collection lookup, selection, playlist behavior, trust handling, and error cases.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes stay within issue #351 scope. The new Kodi song filters, launcher hook, ZapScript collection resolver, playlist handling, deck trust propagation, guard adjustment, scanner name reuse, and related mocks and tests support collection expansion or preserve existing behavior. No unrelated product behavior is demonstrated by the reviewed changes.

- Around line 52-53: Order collection metadata before creating items in the
episodes loop so playlists follow season and episode order, regardless of Kodi’s
returned order. Apply the corresponding track-order sorting in song collection
flows, or request the appropriate sort in each collection query.

📢 Thoughts on this report? Let us know!

Kodi does not guarantee the order of GetEpisodes or GetSongs results, and a
playlist built from a collection plays in the order it is given. Sort
episodes by season and episode, and songs by album, disc and track.
