Worked on the xbmc/xbmc repository to enhance Blu-ray playback reliability and user experience over a two-month period. Addressed a critical issue by resetting the player state to DVDSTATE_NORMAL when exiting Blu-ray menus, ensuring playback controls remained available and episode time displays stayed accurate. Further improved playback continuity by implementing demuxer resets on BD_EVENT_DISCONTINUITY, reducing stalls for non-seamless Blu-ray connections. These changes demonstrated careful state management and a deep understanding of event handling within embedded systems. Leveraged C++ and low-level programming skills to deliver robust solutions that directly reduced playback disruptions and improved overall media playback stability.

Month: 2025-09 — xbmc/xbmc focused on stability and predictable playback behavior. Delivered a critical fix for Blu-ray playback controls by resetting the player state to DVDSTATE_NORMAL upon BD menu exit, preventing controls from becoming unavailable and preserving accurate episode time display. This aligns BD exit behavior with playlist exit, improving user experience and reliability. Demonstrates solid state management and delivery discipline, with direct business impact on user satisfaction and reduced support issues.
