# Local Player Auto-Close Issue Fix ## ๐Ÿ› Issue Description The local video player launcher dialog was automatically closing itself after 2 seconds when launched from the cluster folder view, making it impossible to bookmark or rate videos that require external players. ## ๐Ÿ” Root Cause Analysis ### The Problem The `LocalPlayerLauncher` component has auto-close logic that checks for interactive features: ```typescript const hasInteractiveFeatures = showBookmarks || showRatings; if (!hasInteractiveFeatures) { setTimeout(() => { onClose(); }, 2000); } ``` ### Why It Was Triggered The cluster page was calling `UnifiedVideoPlayer` **without** the required props: **Before (Broken)**: ```typescript { setIsPlayerOpen(false); setSelectedVideo(null); }} // โŒ Missing showBookmarks, showRatings, and handlers /> ``` **UnifiedVideoPlayer Defaults**: ```typescript showBookmarks = false, // โŒ Defaults to false showRatings = false, // โŒ Defaults to false ``` This caused `hasInteractiveFeatures` to be `false`, triggering the auto-close timer. ## โœ… Solution Applied Updated the cluster page to properly pass bookmark and rating props: **After (Fixed)**: ```typescript { setIsPlayerOpen(false); setSelectedVideo(null); }} showBookmarks={true} // โœ… Enable bookmarks showRatings={true} // โœ… Enable ratings onBookmark={handleBookmark} // โœ… Bookmark handler onUnbookmark={handleUnbookmark} // โœ… Unbookmark handler onRate={handleRate} // โœ… Rating handler /> ``` ## ๐ŸŽฏ How It Works Now ### Flow for External Player Videos: 1. User clicks video in cluster folder view 2. `UnifiedVideoPlayer` detects format requires external player 3. `LocalPlayerLauncher` is rendered with `showBookmarks={true}` and `showRatings={true}` 4. User launches external player 5. `hasInteractiveFeatures = true` โ†’ **No auto-close timer** 6. Dialog stays open for bookmarking and rating 7. User can bookmark/rate before manually closing ### Auto-Close Logic: ```typescript const hasInteractiveFeatures = showBookmarks || showRatings; // true || true = true โœ… if (!hasInteractiveFeatures) { // This branch is NOT taken anymore โœ… setTimeout(() => { onClose(); }, 2000); } ``` ## ๐Ÿ“Š Comparison with Other Views | View | showBookmarks | showRatings | Result | |------|---------------|-------------|---------| | **Cluster Page (Before)** | โŒ false | โŒ false | Auto-closes | | **Cluster Page (After)** | โœ… true | โœ… true | Stays open | | **Bookmarks Page** | โœ… true | โœ… true | Stays open | | **Videos Page** | โœ… true | โœ… true | Stays open | ## ๐Ÿงช Expected Results โœ… Local player dialog stays open after launching external player โœ… Users can bookmark videos requiring external players โœ… Users can rate videos requiring external players โœ… Consistent behavior across all cluster views โœ… No regression in regular video playback ## ๐Ÿ“ Files Changed **Modified**: `/src/app/clusters/[id]/page.tsx` - **Lines Added**: 5 lines - **Change**: Added showBookmarks, showRatings props and handlers to UnifiedVideoPlayer ## ๐Ÿ”„ Testing Checklist - [ ] Open cluster page and navigate to folder with .ts or other external format videos - [ ] Click on video that requires external player - [ ] Verify local player dialog appears - [ ] Click "Launch [Player]" button - [ ] Verify dialog does NOT auto-close after 2 seconds - [ ] Verify bookmark button is visible and functional - [ ] Verify rating stars are visible and functional - [ ] Verify can bookmark video successfully - [ ] Verify can rate video successfully - [ ] Verify can manually close dialog with X button ## ๐ŸŽ‰ Resolution Status **Status**: โœ… **FIXED - Ready for Testing** **Risk Level**: Low (isolated change, follows existing patterns) **Impact**: High (restores critical functionality) --- *Fix applied on 2025-10-12* *Issue: Regression in auto-close behavior* *Solution: Properly pass interactive props to video player*
