track_switch.rs

1//! Audio-track switch strategy decision logic.
2//!
3//! Pure logic, extracted from the command layer so it can be unit-tested in the
4//! player core — the sibling of [`super::seek`]. `player_switch_audio_track`
5//! turns the resulting [`AudioTrackSwitchStrategy`] into a concrete action.
6//!
7//! The rule this module exists to state: **an engine can only select a track
8//! the stream in front of it actually carries.** A Jellyfin transcode is built
9//! around one `AudioStreamIndex`, so the alternate tracks are not in the stream
10//! at all — the switch has to re-open it. Only a direct play/stream hands the
11//! engine the source file with every track present.
12
13/// How a request to change audio track has to be carried out.

32/// * `use_html5` - Whether the frontend `<video>` element is rendering.

50/// Where to resume after re-opening the stream for a track change.
51///
52/// `requested` is what the caller supplied; `engine_position` is where the
53/// engine itself says it is. The caller wins when it has something real to say,
54/// and the engine answers otherwise — which is the whole point: **position is
55/// the player's to know**, not the UI's to remember.
56///
57/// The native path proved why. It has no `<video>` element, so the frontend
58/// sent `null`, the command defaulted to `0.0`, and switching audio track
59/// re-opened the stream at the beginning of the film — the track changed and
60/// the viewer lost their place. A non-finite or negative value is treated the
61/// same as absent rather than passed through to a backend that would reject it.
