Playback reporting (position sync / resume-on-another-device):
- player_configure_jellyfin now builds a PlaybackReporter sharing the player
controller's Arc, so Start/Progress/Stopped actually reach Jellyfin on every
auth path (login/restore/reauth); previously they never did.
- The PlaybackReporterWrapper now shares the same Arc the controller and MPV
progress loop report through, instead of a dead parallel Option.
- Android position callbacks now emit throttled progress reports (30s/item),
mirroring the MPV backend.
Duration flash on pause:
- resolveDuration() prefers the live store duration for the already-loaded
track over the runTimeTicks estimate, so pausing no longer clobbers the
slider's max to 0 when runTimeTicks is missing.
Video leaking into audio mini player:
- isVideoItem() also checks the backend PlayerMediaItem mediaType
discriminator, so a video started via player_play_item (no Jellyfin `type`,
mediaType "video") no longer surfaces in the audio mini player.
Middle-truncation of long media names:
- New truncateMiddle util applied to track/episode/card/mini-player titles so
distinguishing tails (episode numbers, suffixes) stay visible.
Adds regression tests for the duration and mini-player fixes.

The lockscreen controls drifted out of sync, especially while casting, and
couldn't control remote playback. Two media sessions were competing (a Media3
MediaSession driving transport vs a MediaSessionCompat driving the notification),
position was only pushed on play/pause so the scrubber froze mid-track, and
remote mode showed stale local metadata with dead buttons.
- Make MediaSessionCompat the single source of truth; route all transport
commands (both the Compat callback and the Media3 wrappedPlayer) through Rust
via nativeOnMediaCommand instead of touching ExoPlayer directly.
- Push position on every 250ms tick via a lightweight updatePlaybackPosition,
and report 0.0 playback speed when paused so Android stops extrapolating.
- Mirror the remote session's now-playing onto the lockscreen from the native
session poller (works while the screen is locked, unlike WebView timers) via
a new player::update_lockscreen_metadata JNI bridge.
- Make MediaSessionHandler mode-aware: in remote mode forward play/pause/next/
prev/seek to the remote Jellyfin session; Stop while casting emits
RemoteDisconnectRequested, which the frontend handles by transferring to local.

- music landing: diverse per-genre album sliders (online counts /
offline wide-probe fallback) and home-screen library shortcuts
- add ArtistLinks component and shared navigation/genreDiversity utils
- player/playback-mode refinements across Rust and frontend
- Standardize on bun: remove package-lock.json, add packageManager field,
gitignore non-bun lockfiles, fix stray npm install in android:build:clean
- Remove stale build logs and empty dirs (src-tauri/plugins, docs/tickets)
- Move android-dev.sh into scripts/
- Consolidate root docs into docs/ (docker/builder under docs/build/);
move the architecture overview to docs/architecture/README.md
- Extract Requirements Specification from README into docs/requirements.md
and slim README down to a project intro + docs index
- Fix internal references to the moved files
Remove unused imports and a dead test helper, and strengthen tests that
held unused bindings/fields so the values are actually exercised:
- drop unused imports (HttpConfig, MediaType, std::io::Write)
- remove unused TestEventEmitter::clear helper
- replace meaningless size_of asserts with real empty-manager checks
- assert on MockTrack.name in sorting tests
- online.rs: on Linux, advertise only WebView-decodable codecs (h264 video;
aac/mp3/opus/vorbis/flac audio) in PlaybackInfo so Jellyfin transcodes
HEVC/AV1/VP9/etc. to h264 HLS for the WebKitGTK <video> element.
- player: on Linux, don't load video into MPV (no embedded window — it would
start a redundant decode the frontend immediately stops). Add
PlayerController::set_current_item to keep queue/UI/remote-transfer state in
sync without loading the item into the playback backend.
Casting: restore camelCase serialization on SessionInfo/NowPlayingItem/PlayState
(container rename_all = "camelCase" + per-field PascalCase serde aliases so Jellyfin
PascalCase still deserializes). Bindings and the existing frontend are camelCase
again — casting works with no frontend session changes.
Downloads: migrate DownloadButton.svelte and downloads.ts to the typed
commands.downloadItemAndStart / downloadItem / downloadVideo wrappers (request
objects), matching the bundled backend signatures.
Tooling:
- Enable tauri-specta ErrorHandlingMode::Throw so commands.* return Promise<T>
and throw (drop-in for invoke()).
- Disambiguate specta name collisions: player MediaItem/MediaSource ->
PlayerMediaItem/PlayerMediaSource, auth ServerInfo -> AuthServerInfo.
- Regenerate bindings.ts; svelte-check passes (0 errors).
- Add #[specta::specta] to all 201 #[tauri::command] functions.
- Derive specta::Type on all IPC DTOs (repository/types, settings, player/storage/
download command DTOs, player enums, jellyfin SessionInfo/NowPlayingItem/PlayState,
ThumbnailCacheStats, DownloadInfo, CacheConfig, etc.).
- Replace tauri::generate_handler! with a tauri_specta::Builder + collect_commands!
in lib.rs (exports bindings.ts in debug builds).
Two contract changes required by specta constraints (frontend migration follows):
- specta caps command arity at 10 args: download_item_and_start / download_item /
download_video now take a single request struct (params bundled, body unchanged
via destructuring).
- specta can't parse split serde rename_all: SessionInfo/NowPlayingItem/PlayState
switched to rename_all = "PascalCase" (Jellyfin deserialization preserved; these
now serialize PascalCase to the frontend).
cargo check --lib is clean (0 errors). Frontend migration to bindings.ts is the next step.
Move the pure determine_video_seek_strategy function and its VideoSeekStrategy
enum (plus the 5 seek-strategy unit tests) out of the command layer into
player/seek.rs, where they belong and are testable without the Tauri State
harness. commands/player.rs now imports them from crate::player. No behavior
change.
Workstream A — poison-tolerant locking:
- Add utils/lock.rs with MutexSafe/RwLockSafe extension traits that recover a
poisoned std::sync lock instead of panicking, plus unit tests.
- Replace all 153 .lock().unwrap() and 4 .read()/.write().unwrap() production
sites with _safe variants across 14 files, eliminating the player
crash-cascade class. Tokio async mutexes are unchanged.
Workstream B — graceful backend init:
- create_player_backend no longer panics when MPV/ExoPlayer fail to initialize;
it falls back to NullBackend and emits a backend-init-failed event so the UI
can show "playback unavailable" instead of the app crashing. Fatal DB-setup
panics are kept.
Workstream F — doc reconciliation:
- Rewrite software-architecture.md's inaccurate "thin UI / ~800 lines" claims to
reflect reality (~20.5k non-test frontend) and document the events+polling
hybrid plus the new locking/backend-init behavior.
