Summary

• YouTube Music sends podcast shows and episodes as musicMultiRowListItemRenderer, which the parser skipped. These now parse into podcast and episode items.
• Music Home and the music browse page no longer drop podcast and episode items. They show as cards wherever music cards show, so the Podcasts chip fills, whatever language YouTube Music names it in.
• An episode plays in the music player, queued with the other episodes on the page. A podcast opens its show page, as it does from search.

Change type

• Bug fix
• Feature
• Refactor or maintenance
• Documentation
• Build, packaging, or CI

Validation

• pnpm test (393 files, 2323 tests, 0 failures)
• pnpm build (tsc and vite build pass)
• cargo fmt --manifest-path src-tauri/Cargo.toml --all -- --check (clean)
• cargo clippy --manifest-path src-tauri/Cargo.toml --all-targets --all-features (no warnings in the changed files)
• cargo test --manifest-path src-tauri/Cargo.toml --all-targets --all-features (74 suites, 1688 passed, 0 failed, 11 ignored)
• I smoke-tested the affected desktop behavior.

Tests cover a multi-row episode and a multi-row show in the parser, and podcast and episode cards on a browse page (an episode queues in the music player, a show opens its page). The parser tests use synthetic responses.

Risk and compatibility

• No new secrets, private data, telemetry, or broad Tauri permissions were introduced.
• User-facing documentation was updated where needed.
• Dependency and lockfile changes are intentional and limited to this PR.
• Breaking changes and upgrade steps are clearly documented.

No database or network changes. Podcast shelves that YouTube Music puts on the regular home feed now show there too.

Thanks for tracking this down. The multi-row parser was the missing piece. I merged main and added a few commits on top:

• Podcast and episode cards now show wherever music cards show. The PR only showed them when the chip's title or params contained "podcast", but YouTube Music names the chip in the content language and the params are base64, so the check failed in every other language.
• A show with no art now gets no thumbnail instead of an empty URL, and there's a parser test for a show item next to yours for episodes.
• The useMusicChipFilter test also passed on main, because the hook itself didn't change. I replaced it with a render test of the browse page: an episode queues in the music player, and a show opens its page.

Otherwise your parser and its test are unchanged. Thanks again!
