the sidecar now describes every audio and subtitle stream on the chosen source. a subtitle
jellyfin can deliver as an external file gets a /_jf webvtt path with the embedded ApiKey
stripped; one it cannot gets the reason instead, so the picker can show it disabled rather
than pretend it does not exist. colliding labels get their stream index — two tracks called
"English - ASS" are a coin flip otherwise.
quality is a named rung rather than a number. a bitrate the owner picks maps onto the rung
at or below it, which is what stops jellyfin's ResolutionNormalizer from inventing a
resolution from an unrounded number. auto stays absent so a copyable source still copies.
the control bar is ours in all three transports. progressive has no timeline the browser can
render, and an audio-track or quality change is a re-negotiation with the server rather than
something a <video> knows how to do — one bar for all three is what keeps those from being
three different players. the menus are hand-rolled because a radix dropdown portals to
document.body, which is outside the fullscreen element and would be invisible exactly when
the player is most likely to be used.
no scrubber thumbnails: they come from trickplay tiles and this server generates none.
