feat(ZDFmediathek): show current title, cover and add settings#10913
Merged
Conversation
Rework the activity for the current (Svelte) ZDF site, whose redesign broke the old breadcrumb-based selectors: - Show the playing video's title, series and parsed info (episode, genre, year, broadcaster) with cover art as the large image. - Anchor on stable selectors (og: meta, .zdfplayer-* classes) and cache the player overlay per URL so details persist during playback. - Detect live streams via the media duration instead of the URL path. - Add browsing presence for series, category, search and live pages. - Add settings: privacy mode, hide on pause, cover image, channel logo as small icon, timestamps, buttons, format strings and status display.

Pull request overview
Reworks the ZDFmediathek presence to support the redesigned (Svelte-based) zdf.de player pages by switching to more stable selectors, improving playback detection, and expanding browsing coverage. It also introduces a configurable settings surface (privacy, timestamps, buttons, formatting, and status display options) and bumps the activity version to 2.0.0.
Changes:
- Replaced brittle breadcrumb/selectors with
og:*meta tags and.zdfplayer-*player classes; added per-URL overlay info caching and richer video parsing. - Added presence states for non-playback pages (home, search, live overview, series/category pages).
- Added a comprehensive settings block (privacy, hide-on-pause, cover/channel icons, timestamps/buttons, format strings, status display type) and bumped version
1.1.1→2.0.0.

I wanted to extend the existing one because I was watching a documentary and thought making it similar to the YouTube one made by y’all would be cool. :) I used Opus 4.8, as you can see. 🫡 I gave Claude access to an isolated Chrome instance and later tested it on Firefox/Zen Browser.

- Gate live detection behind hasMedia so a still-loading NaN duration is not briefly reported as a livestream. - Reset the activity name in privacy mode to avoid leaking the title via StatusDisplayType.Name. - Use a non-capturing group in the info-line genre regex (ESLint). - Replace the deprecated no-arg setActivity() with clearActivity().
