Summary of ChangesHello @itskavin, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed! This pull request delivers a significant update to the Media Player Scrobbler for SIMKL, focusing on robustness, user experience, and maintainability. It streamlines silent installations for Windows, making deployments easier for administrators. Users will benefit from a more intuitive and organized tray menu, providing clearer access to monitoring controls, diagnostic tools, and data management options. Under the hood, the application now handles credentials and logging more intelligently, and its core media detection logic is more accurate, especially for episodes and file path changes. These changes collectively enhance the application's stability, ease of use, and overall reliability. Highlights

Code Review
This pull request introduces version 2.2.1 of the Media Player Scrobbler for SIMKL, featuring significant improvements to the Windows installer (silent deployment support), enhanced tray menu functionality, and more robust logging with rotation. The internal refactoring for media identification and the addition of developer controls are valuable additions. However, there is a markdown syntax error in the Linux guide that will break rendering, a potential performance bottleneck in the PotPlayer integration due to frequent expensive process handle lookups, and the use of an unreliable relative path when clearing logs that should be addressed.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Calling process.open_files() is an expensive operation as it requires iterating through all system handles for the process. Since get_current_filepath is called every poll interval (default 10 seconds) by the monitor loop, this could lead to noticeable CPU spikes or UI lag, especially if the player has many files open or if the system is under load. Consider caching the resolved path and only re-running this check if the window title changes.

Using a relative path like Path("playback_log.jsonl") is unreliable for a tray application, as the current working directory depends on how the application was launched (e.g., autostart, terminal, or shortcut). This might fail to find the file or attempt to delete a file in an unintended directory. Since the scrobbler uses APP_DATA_DIR for this log, this entry should likely be removed or updated to use an absolute path.

/quiet,/silent,/s,/qn,/passive) - Authentication flow directly accessible from tray menus on all platforms with dynamic menu labels
- Enhanced episode tracking with separate display fields for better filename-based season/episode identification
- Improved credential loading with explicit placeholder detection and fallback hierarchy
- Updated dependencies (Python 3.10+, guessit 3.8.0+, pillow 12.1.1+) and weekly rotating log files

The pyinstaller dependency constraint allows Python 3.15, but pyinstaller version 6.13.0 may not support Python 3.15 since Python 3.14 is the latest stable version as of January 2025. The upper bound should be verified against pyinstaller's actual compatibility or use a more conservative constraint like ">=3.9,<3.14" to avoid potential installation failures when Python 3.15 is released.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The "Tools" submenu in the pystray menu starts with a separator (line 1073), which creates an unnecessary separator at the top of the submenu. This is inconsistent with typical menu design and should be removed. The same issue exists in the "Developer Controls" submenu at line 1080.

Code Review
This is a substantial and well-executed pull request that brings a host of improvements across the application. The enhancements to the Windows silent installer are excellent for automated deployments. The refactoring of credential loading logic provides a much clearer and more robust fallback mechanism. I particularly appreciate the move to a TimedRotatingFileHandler for better log management.
The improvements to media detection are also significant, especially the new logic in the PotPlayer integration to resolve full file paths and the more reliable episode change detection in the main scrobbler. The refactoring of the tray menu into logical sub-menus and the addition of a direct authentication flow from the tray are great user experience enhancements.
I've left one high-priority comment regarding an inconsistency in the Linux tray menu implementation and a minor one for the documentation. Overall, this is a very strong update that significantly improves the application's robustness, maintainability, and user experience.

Code Review
This pull request introduces a version bump to 2.2.1, updates the Python requirement to 3.10+, and delivers a range of valuable enhancements. Key improvements include more robust silent installation support for Windows, a refactored and more feature-rich tray menu with a direct authentication flow, improved credential handling logic, and more reliable media detection, particularly for PotPlayer and sequential episodes. The documentation has also been updated to reflect these changes. My review identifies a critical syntax error in simkl_mps/media_scrobbler.py and a documentation issue in docs/linux-guide.md where important content appears to have been accidentally removed. Overall, this is a substantial and high-quality update.

The installation instructions for Fedora/RHEL/CentOS and Arch Linux, along with the "Installation Process" diagram, have been removed. This appears to be unintentional, as it removes valuable information for users on those distributions. Please consider restoring the removed content. The new context menu diagram is a great addition and could be placed in a more relevant section, such as under "System Tray Integration".

Type of Change
This pull request introduces version 2.2.1 of the Media Player Scrobbler for SIMKL, focusing on improved silent installation support for Windows, enhanced tray menu documentation, updated dependencies, and more robust credential and logging management. It also refines the internal structure for media info handling and developer controls. Below are the most significant changes:
Windows Installer Improvements:
setup.iss). The installer now recognizes common silent install switches (e.g.,/quiet,/silent,/s,/qn,/passive) and internally maps them to Inno Setup's silent flags, ensuring compatibility with enterprise deployment tools and Microsoft Store requirements. The installer relaunches itself with the correct flags when a silent alias is detected. [1] [2] [3]Tray Menu and Documentation Enhancements:
Dependency and Compatibility Updates:
pyproject.toml).pyinstallerto Python 3.9–3.14 for build consistency.Credential and Logging Improvements:
simkl_mps/credentials.pyto reliably distinguish between placeholder and real credentials, with clearer fallbacks to environment variables, user.envfiles, and development credentials. [1] [2]TimedRotatingFileHandlerfor application logs, rotating weekly and keeping up to six backups for better log management. [1] [2]Media Info and Internal Refactoring:
season_displayandepisode_displayfields to the filtered media info structure for clearer presentation and tracking. [1] [2]
