Since Beta 5 (Reborn)

Owner (2026-10-15): "search works great … performance pass … live search"; "rework the radio UI … premium … sort everything by alphabet … include picture and more metadata"; "top 10 radio stations for each country … on top".

PartDetail
Live searchLibrary search shows artists, albums and songs above a compact keyboard while typing; Back on the top key row enters the results, Select opens or plays, Back returns to the full results.
Search speedIndex folded and sorted once per library, narrowing from the previous search, cached searches for Delete. Synthetic 20 000 songs, host release build: per keystroke 6.2 → 0.05 ms mean, 7.5 → 0.42 ms worst; built when the keyboard opens.
Radio sectionRadio home with an On Air card and category tiles; station rows with logo, details, favorite star and LIVE; Station Info; Now Playing with the logo, LIVE badge and the song as title and artist; Previous/Next between stations.
Station logosDirectory logos downloaded once each in the background (≤300 kB, PNG/JPEG/WebP, PNG from .ico; failures remembered three days), cached in /data/reborn/cache/radio-logos, decoded undistorted by a new native rb_media_logo_file and laid on tiles (art::logo_tile); initials tiles otherwise. Host live check: 21 of 24 popular stations.
OrderLists A to Z; country, genre and popular lists keep their ten most listened stations on top, ranked.
FixGrouped numbers (Home with 1 000+ songs) used a thin space missing from the fonts.
Pipelinerelease.py prune no longer fails in the build container (no Reborn checkout there).

Host evidence: 446 Reborn tests (new: live search navigation, logo tiles, .ico logos, ranking, A-to-Z, song split, Station Info), strict Clippy, fmt; preview renders; real directory logos downloaded and tiled on the host.

Device checks owed (after the owner's over-the-air install)

Logos appear in lists and on Now Playing (Wi-Fi on); a country list shows its top 10 then A to Z; Station Info; Previous/Next between stations; live search results and opening them; memory/CPU while lists with logos scroll.

Known gaps

FM radio (next beta); HLS stations; logos in SVG/GIF show initials; sleep ≈9.4 mA vs stock ≈1.3 mA; Bluetooth range hardware-limited; no headphone-jack detection.
