Summary

Episode details now put artwork and the episode title first, with connected playback actions, clearer listening progress, and easier access to chapters, links and featured shows. Shared show-notes parsing improves resource labels and cross-show promotion detection.

Motivation

The previous page mixed heavy outlines and inconsistent cards. Useful links and chapters were hard to scan, and some introductions to other shows never produced a featured-show card.

What changed

  • Use Material 3 surfaces over a bounded blurred-artwork backdrop. Limit episode titles to three lines with an inline expand control, keep show names on one line, and place episode-type chips on the artwork.
  • Keep Like, Download, Queue and Play in one connected row, with listening progress below it. Fix the completion pill at the end of the metadata row and marquee only overflowing metadata.
  • Place chapters above About. Preserve publisher formatting and timestamp seeking, with description chapters as the fallback when remote chapters are unavailable or invalid.
  • Pack resource pills into two independently sized horizontal rows. Recognized brands appear first in top/bottom priority order; parsed social profiles use compact usernames with platform-aware accessibility labels. Include platform icons, readable tints and TikTok’s cyan accent.
  • Parse anchors and raw URLs through one local show-notes parser, preserving meaningful labels and distinct destinations while filtering unsafe schemes, credentials, infrastructure links and tracking duplicates.
  • Improve promotion-name extraction and matching for longer introductions and scheduled releases. Exclude the host show, reject ambiguous matches, and verify unnamed direct podcast links before using them.
  • List the show’s five latest distinct episodes, excluding the current episode, with both a header browse action and an Explore podcast button. Related episode recommendations reuse the Home poster treatment.
  • Add regression coverage, brand-vector attribution and module documentation; update runtime dependency snapshots for Jsoup.

Behavior & compatibility

Playback, download, queue, navigation and analytics callbacks retain their existing owners. Recommendation ranking and storage identities are unchanged. Parsing and promotion failures remain independent of episode content; no linked pages are fetched by the parser.

Impact

  • user-impact-high
  • user-impact-medium
  • user-impact-low
  • no-user-impact

Listener impact

Listeners can read long episode titles, use clearer playback controls, jump to chapters and identify useful links more easily. Featured-show cards cover more introductions, and the latest episodes from the same show are available directly on the episode page.

Release copy

CHANGELOG.md

Changed

  • Redesign episode details with Material 3 surfaces, connected playback controls, separate listening progress and responsive title/metadata handling.
  • Consolidate show-notes link and chapter parsing; add branded resource pills and the five latest episodes from the same show.

Fixed

  • Improve cross-show promotion detection and matching for longer introductions and scheduled releases.
  • Prevent generic social platform labels and reserved URL routes from being displayed as profile usernames.

README What's New / Upcoming

Improvements

  • Open episodes with clearer playback controls, artwork and reading layouts.
  • Find chapters and useful links more easily, with recognizable icons and shorter social profile labels.
  • Browse the show’s five latest episodes directly from the episode page.

Fixes

  • Featured-show cards now recognize more introductions to other podcasts.
  • Social links use a profile username when known, instead of repeating the platform name.

Test plan

  • Installed and iterated on a connected Android phone; metadata overflow was reviewed on-device and temporary preview data removed.
  • Regression coverage for URL classification/deduplication, profile labels, safe chapter parsing, promotion detection/resolution, cancellation, cache behavior, branded link ordering and contrast, and latest-episode selection.
  • Full local verification: 2,907 JVM tests with no failures; Detekt, ktlint for catalog/model/info, Android lint, merged coverage and app/catalog/playback dependency guards passed. Built and installed the integrated debug app.
  • Required remote CI and CodeRabbit review complete.

Notes

Built on the Home and branding changes merged in #1102. This PR excludes those earlier changes.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Episode details now include parsed show notes, tappable links with recognizable platform icons, and navigable chapters.
    • Cross-promotion detection can identify and link to other podcasts mentioned in episode notes.
    • The episode screen has refreshed playback controls, completion options, and “More from this podcast” recommendations.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved chapter and podcast matching, and prevented canceled loading tasks from being treated as failures.

Walkthrough

The catalog adds shared parsing for episode descriptions, links, and chapters, plus revised cross-promotion detection and resolution. The episode information feature loads and displays parsed notes, chapters, podcast links, and related episodes, with updated screen components and supporting resources.

Changes

Episode information

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared notes parsing and chapter data
core/model/..., core/catalog/..., app/README.md, app/dependencies/*, core/playback/...
Adds shared show-notes models and Jsoup-based parsing for publisher HTML, links, and description chapters. Chapter retrieval propagates cancellation, and release runtime snapshots include Jsoup.
Cross-promotion detection and resolution
core/catalog/src/main/java/.../crosspromo/*, core/catalog/src/test/.../crosspromo/*
Detection combines title and description evidence with episode type and duration. Resolution uses podcast links, excludes the host podcast, and applies matching and cache-expiration rules.
Notes loading and episode state
feature/info/src/main/java/.../logic/*, feature/info/src/main/java/.../EpisodeInfoViewModel.kt, feature/info/src/test/.../logic/*
Loads parsed notes, remote chapters, and promotion results concurrently. Updates are guarded against stale loads; related episodes are ordered, deduplicated, and limited to five.
Episode notes, chapters, and links
feature/info/src/main/java/.../EpisodeDescriptionCard.kt, feature/info/src/main/java/.../EpisodeLinksSection.kt, feature/info/src/main/java/.../EpisodeLink*, feature/info/src/main/java/.../components/EpisodeChaptersSection.kt, feature/info/src/main/res/drawable/*, feature/info/src/main/res/values/strings.xml, feature/info/src/test/*
Displays parsed description text and HTML, chapter navigation, and classified link pills. Adds platform icons, link labels and palettes, and related tests.
Episode screen and related content
feature/info/src/main/java/.../EpisodeInfoScreen.kt, feature/info/src/main/java/.../CrossPromotionCard.kt, feature/info/src/main/java/.../components/*, feature/info/src/main/java/.../sections/*, feature/info/README.md, feature/info/licenses/*
Composes the revised episode screen with hero, playback actions, promotion, recommendations, and more-from-podcast content. Adds screen strings, icon attribution and license text, and documentation.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to c42a3

The redesigned episode page can briefly hide a featured-show card and load it again. Tapping a chapter timestamp can land slightly before a chapter that starts at a fractional second. A related-episodes engagement metric may also count more than it should. These are small, bounded issues and the PR can merge once they are followed up.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Move the play-position: link matching into a tested pure helper.

The click callback does three things inline:

  • It parses the play-position: link.
  • It matches the link to a chapter by truncating startTime with toLong().
  • It seeks to seconds * 1_000L, not to the matched chapter start.

When a chapter starts at a fractional second, for example 65.5, the seek lands up to 999 ms before the chapter starts. This logic sits inside a composable lambda, and this PR adds no JVM test for it. The path instruction says: "Require matching JVM src/test coverage for new/changed logic helpers". Extract a helper that returns the chapter's start in milliseconds, then add tests for these cases:

  • a matching link
  • a fractional chapter start
  • a non-numeric link
  • a link that matches no chapter

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

The description card is hidden when the episode description is empty, but the parsed notes are not.

The EpisodeDescriptionCard render condition checks state.episode.description.isNotEmpty(). The card displays notes.plainText and notes.html. A description that contains only markup or whitespace passes this check and renders an empty "About" card. Base the condition on the parsed notes.

Proposed fix
-                            if (state.episode.description.isNotEmpty()) {

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Run the second detection only when the episode data changed. Keep a resolved card while it runs.

loadEpisode now always calls detectCrossPromotion twice: once at Line 324 with the seed episode, and again at Line 391. Line 391 runs even when podcastRepository.getEpisode returns null and currentEpisode is unchanged. Each call to detectCrossPromotion (Line 708) sets crossPromotion = null and crossPromoLoading = true.

If the first call has already resolved a card, the second call removes the card. The card then reappears after the description is parsed again and the resolver runs again. The second call also repeats the HTML parse.

Pass the seed episode into the second step. Skip the reload when the inputs the loader uses are the same. Do not clear an existing crossPromotion on a refresh for the same episode.

+                }

At Line 324, capture val seedEpisode = currentEpisode before you call detectCrossPromotion(seedEpisode, finalPodcastTitle). In detectCrossPromotion, keep the previous value during a refresh:

-        _uiState.value = current.copy(crossPromoLoading = true, crossPromotion = null)
+        _uiState.value = current.copy(crossPromoLoading = true)

Update loadEpisode to retain the seed episode and skip its second
detectCrossPromotion call when the episode data used by the loader is unchanged.
In detectCrossPromotion, keep the existing crossPromotion value while setting
crossPromoLoading so a refresh does not remove a resolved card.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

The related-episodes scroll metric now reports vertical page scrolling as row scrolling.

The old trigger fired when the user scrolled the related-episode row. The new trigger fires whenever the page scrolls while the more_from_podcast item is visible. A user who scrolls past the section to reach the end of the page now sets didScrollRelatedEpisodes. This inflates the engagement metric. The section is now a vertical list inside the page. If the intended signal is "the section was seen", rename the metric. If the intended signal is "the user engaged with the section", use a stricter condition, for example a visible-fraction threshold.

Update the LaunchedEffect in EpisodeInfoRecommendationCards so vertical page
scrolling alone does not call onRelatedEpisodesScrolled; gate the callback on
evidence of engagement with the related-episodes section, such as a
visible-fraction threshold, while preserving the existing related-episodes
availability check.
