Summary

Plugins are initialized in a single for loop in renderer.ts with no error handling. If any one plugin's onPlayerApiReady throws (e.g. a network-dependent plugin failing while offline), the unhandled rejection stops the loop entirely and every plugin later in iteration order never gets initialized for that session.

This can make an otherwise-working plugin appear to "randomly stop working" with no visible cause, since the failure happens in a completely different plugin loaded earlier in the list.

Fix

Wraps each plugin's onPlayerApiReady call in its own try/catch, logging the failure the same way startPlugin already does for start()/stop(), instead of letting one plugin's error take down every plugin after it.

Test plan

  • pnpm typecheck / pnpm lint pass
  • Verified plugins still initialize normally in the built app

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved plugin initialization resilience during startup and when enabling plugins.
    • If a plugin fails during setup, initialization continues for remaining plugins instead of stopping entirely.
    • Added diagnostic logging and stack traces to help identify plugin initialization failures.

Plugins are initialized in a single for-loop with no error handling -
if any one plugin's onPlayerApiReady throws (e.g. a network-dependent
plugin failing while offline), the unhandled rejection stops the loop
entirely and every plugin later in iteration order never gets
initialized. This is likely why smooth-transitions (and potentially
other plugins) can silently and unpredictably stop working: it loads
after synced-lyrics, which does network work in this same hook.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The renderer centralizes onPlayerApiReady invocation for startup and plugin enablement. The helper skips function renderers and logs callback errors with LoggerPrefix and console.trace.

Changes

Renderer plugin initialization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Fault-tolerant plugin callbacks
src/renderer.ts
The renderer adds a typed callOnPlayerApiReady helper. The helper skips function renderers, passes the player API and plugin context to onPlayerApiReady, and logs thrown errors. Startup and plugin enablement use the helper.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to a2a4a

The PR prevents one plugin initialization failure from stopping later plugins while preserving failure logging. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

In `@src/renderer.ts`:
- Around line 320-338: Extend the error isolation used for onPlayerApiReady to
the plugin:enable path in main, which currently invokes the callback directly.
Extract or reuse a single guarded initialization helper that invokes
onPlayerApiReady, logs the plugin and context via the existing translation key,
and traces the error; call it from both the startup loop and plugin:enable so
callback failures do not reject the IPC handler or block other plugins.

Comment thread src/renderer.ts Outdated
CodeRabbit review on pear-devs#4661: the plugin:enable IPC handler (for
enabling a plugin without restarting) called onPlayerApiReady directly
without the same guard, so a throw there (e.g. custom-output-device's
getUserMedia call) becomes an unhandled rejection with no logging.
Extracted a shared callOnPlayerApiReady helper used by both the
startup loop and this handler instead of duplicating the try/catch.
