Jellyfin-web: Need dynamic page updates

[classicjazz]

Describe the bug
Pages are not automatically updated, unlike Plex, etc.

To Reproduce
For example,
(1) Cancel a series recording

• confirmation dialog box then series jacket art remains until you refresh the browser

(2) Delete an episode recording

• confirmation dialog box. Episode jacket art remains until you refresh the browser

Expected behavior
Cancelled series / deleted episodes would be automatically removed from the current view without refreshing the web browser.

System (please complete the following information):

How come it's a bug? More like a feature request...

[dkanada]

Some components have dynamic updates, but you're right that a lot of pages don't get any at all.

[classicjazz]

Because deleted episodes remain visible in the user interface. Users are left uncertain whether command failed or not. Subsequent attempts to delete the still visible but already deleted asset fail.

[classicjazz]

Also, this impacts the iOS client (and presumably the Android one). On smartphone apps, dynamic updates are assumed. And there is no easy way to refresh the page, like in a desktop web browser.

Pages are still not dynamically updated.

Please remove this terrible stale bot that exists to just boost up "closed" issue metrics while obfuscating what actually needs to still get done.

@xelivous What metrics could we possibly care about? Remember we are a volunteer group of, at most, 36 people listed in the organization, of which a smaller set are active, of which an even smaller set actually "work", for free and in their spare time, on the web repository? All this to support an estimated 15,000+ installs (which is probably even lowballing it).

The Stalebot is around to help prevent issues from literally getting stale. Not every issue is a problem, and not every issue opener responds when we ask for more information/respond with a fix/etc.

I'm sorry we missed the "keep this open/confirmed" tag on this one. Please consider that there have been 2,499 issues (both open and closed) across the main server repository and this one (arguably the two core parts of a Jellyfin install), since December 8, 2018 (or roughly 19 months). Add a combined 2,403 pull requests (open and closed/merged) on top of that too.

We don't care about metrics. We're just trying to stay organized.

Closing this as it's indeed a feature request and these now live on https://features.jellyfin.org/.
