mpv now decodes video on Linux, drawn into a framebuffer we own and blitted
into the default vbox's draw handler. Tauri's widget tree is untouched, so an
upgrade that assumes its own layout cannot invalidate this. Direct play means
the original file, hardware decoding, and no server transcode at all — where
previously every desktop video was re-encoded to h264 for the browser engine,
whatever the file actually was. Off by default: JELLYTAU_NATIVE_VIDEO=1.
That settles finding 2 of playback-backend-unification.md — "native video
cannot be composited with a Tauri webview" — by demonstration rather than
argument, on X11 and Wayland both.
Turning it on exposed nine defects, none of them mpv's. Each was the same
mistake in a different place: a capability written down as a compile-time fact
about the platform, or a state asserted instead of confirmed.
DR-238/246 a seek routed by the stream's container rather than by what the
engine could do with it - correct only while one player handled
those streams, silent the moment another did
DR-239 a property handled but never observed, so the play/pause button
waited for an event that could not arrive
DR-240 fullscreen expanding the document while the window stayed put
DR-241 a seek issued before the engine had a file, failed, and discarded
- which is why resume began at zero
DR-247 a Linux-only gate outliving the caller that made it Linux-only,
breaking the Android build outright
DR-250 a stop aimed at whichever renderer bookkeeping believed was in
charge, missing the one actually making sound
DR-251 a duration of zero believed, leaving the seek bar no scale
DR-252 a junk float converted to a Duration, panicking the backend the
instant a length-less stream appeared
So the MediaPlayer contract (DR-242 … DR-247): `open` carries a start position,
so no caller sequences load-then-seek and none can race an engine's load;
`seek` states a destination and leaves in-place-versus-re-open to the engine;
`snapshot` is one coherent read; and `Phase::Opening` names the window where
intent used to be lost. One conformance suite runs against every engine —
FakePlayer and mpv under cargo test, ExoPlayer instrumented on a device — so an
engine is either correct or visibly failing.
Two of the nine were introduced during this work and caught on hardware, not by
any suite: an over-broad capability that grouped ExoPlayer with mpv, and the
Duration panic. The suites test engines that behave. That is recorded in
docs/native-player-verification.md, which asks for the exact action sequences
that found them.
Verified: all automated gates, conformance (mpv 9/9, legacy 8/9 by design,
ExoPlayer 7/7 on device), and manual desktop and Android passes on real
hardware.
Known open and deliberately shipped: resume reads local progress and never the
server's; the background-audio handoff still declares a state swap it does not
confirm (the symptom is now impossible, the race is not); and `bun run
android:dev` builds an APK carrying the release application id, whose failure
message advises an uninstall that would destroy app data. Fix that last one
before anyone else builds for Android.
Squashed from worktree-linux-native-video, which keeps the per-defect history.
Formatting was configured but never enforced: `bun run format:check`
reported 199 unformatted files and ran in no workflow and in no git hook,
so .prettierrc (printWidth 100, trailing commas) described an intention
rather than the tree.
This is the one-time sweep that makes the check gateable. Whitespace and
token-reflow only -- no behavioural change: `bun run check` reports 0
errors and all 1053 frontend tests pass before and after.
Kept out of every other commit on purpose. A 199-file diff mixed with
real changes is unreviewable, and the next commit turns format:check
into a hard CI gate so this cannot silently accumulate again.
TRACES: | DR-204
484 ungated `console.*` calls across 63 non-test frontend files shipped to
end users with no way to turn them off. Mechanical substitution, no control
flow, error handling or message semantics changed:
console.log / console.debug -> log.debug
console.info -> log.info
console.warn -> log.warn
console.error -> log.error
Hand-written `"[Scope] …"` prefixes are dropped where the logger's scope
now carries them; scope names that already existed are preserved verbatim
(`[Auth]`, `[VideoPlayer]`, `[PiP]`, …) and inferred from the filename
where a file had none. `src/routes/player/[id]/+page.svelte` keeps its
`NextEpisode` and `AutoPlay` sub-scopes as separate loggers rather than
flattening them into the page scope.
`grep -rn 'console\.' src/` now matches nothing outside the tests and the
facade itself.
Move account actions (Settings, Downloads, Display preferences, Sign
out) out of the library-only header into a shared AccountMenu anchored in
a global AppHeader, available on every authenticated non-immersive
screen. Add a layoutShell helper deciding where chrome shows, expose
serverName/serverUrl auth stores, and a display view-mode preference. The
settings page also gains the UR-053 WiFi-only toggle.
TRACES: UR-054 | DR-075, DR-076, DR-077
Navigation:
- Split conflated "back" into navigateUp (deterministic route parent) and a
history-safe navigateBack that tracks in-app depth via afterNavigate instead
of history.length. Fixes the resume-from-background trap where a stale WebView
stack left the header arrow stuck on the current page.
- /library self-corrects for music/tv/movies (which have dedicated landing
pages): a leftover currentLibrary no longer forces the inline content-list
view, so "up"/back shows the libraries overview. Live TV / channels / other
types still render inline.
Startup (unblock first paint):
- auth.initialize() no longer awaits security-status, player-config, or session
verification before flipping isInitialized. These run fire-and-forget after the
session is restored, so the library overview paints without waiting on several
serial IPC round-trips.
Versioning / CI:
- tauri.conf.json + package.json aligned to 0.0.15 (the tag series had drifted to
0.1.0, whose formula-derived versionCode 1000 outran the v0.0.x tags).
- Release workflow now pins a monotonic Android versionCode
(1000 + major*10000 + minor*100 + patch) so tagged builds never downgrade
below prior installs and always increase in semver order.
Tests: navigation (4), auth (29), playbackMode (23) green.

Replace the remaining ~155 untyped invoke() calls across stores, services,
components, and routes with the generated commands.* wrappers from
$lib/api/bindings, so every IPC call is compile-time-checked against the
command signatures.
- Register repository_get_subtitle_url and repository_get_video_download_url
in specta_builder() and the invoke_handler; regenerate bindings.ts.
- Source duplicated wire types (AutoplaySettings, CacheConfig, Session,
ConnectivityStatus, audio/video settings, etc.) from bindings.
- Fix two bugs surfaced by the typed wrappers:
- VideoDownloadButton passed an un-awaited Promise as the stream URL.
- setAutoplaySettings omitted the required userId argument.
- Update unit tests asserting the old invoke(name, args) shape.
- Remove the five param-naming guard tests; the compiler and codegen now
enforce what they checked.
svelte-check: 0 errors. vitest: green. cargo test --lib: green.
