Locking the screen killed audio on video playback even with the
background-audio toggle armed.
configureWebViewForMedia() ran from onCreate's delayed post AND from
every onResume, re-calling addJavascriptInterface on each pass — five
times in a 45s session. WebView binds injected objects at page-load
time, so re-injecting over a live page leaves JS holding a stale proxy:
the object stays truthy (passing the `bridge()?.` optional chain) while
its methods vanish. Logcat showed 66 "WebView: Unknown object" errors
and, in JS, "TypeError: setEnabled is not a function".
So the toggle turned blue but never reached native. backgroundAudioEnabled
stayed false, onStop never dispatched 'jellytau-background', the handoff
never ran, and audio stopped the instant the screen locked. PiP and audio
focus broke identically.
- Register the bridges exactly once per WebView (identity-compared), and
split the idempotent settings/chrome-client work into
configureWebViewSettings() so it still runs on every resume.
- Forward WebView console output to logcat as "JellyTauWeb". The frontend
was previously invisible to adb, which is what made this bug so hard to
place; keep it for the next boundary-spanning diagnosis.
- setBackgroundAudioEnabled now reports whether native was actually
reached instead of silently no-oping, so a dead bridge can never again
masquerade as an armed toggle.
Removing the re-injection revived a latent conflict it had been masking:
the focus calls started working, and three AUDIOFOCUS_GAIN requesters
inside one uid began fighting — MainActivity, ExoPlayer, and Chromium's
own AudioFocusDelegate. The grant was followed ~45ms later by
AUDIOFOCUS_LOSS, whose handler paused playback, so arming background
audio (or just pressing play) paused the video in a loop.
WebView already manages focus for <video>. Drop the redundant
AndroidAudioFocus bridge, its listeners and its helpers entirely, and
leave focus to whichever engine is actually rendering — consistent with
the player-is-authoritative principle.
Also drops the dead AndroidBackgroundAudio.isSupported() probe, unused
since the button gate moved to platform().

Typing in the desktop header search bar ran library.search() in place and
relied on /library rendering the results inline. On every other /library/**
route nothing rendered them, so the search bar looked broken: results were
fetched and never shown.
Make /search the single surface that renders results. The header bar becomes a
navigator — it hands the query and route-derived scope to /search via ?q= and
?scope=, which seed the page and run the search on arrival. The inline result
block and the header's scope chips are removed; the chips live on /search,
which owns the results. The empty `all` scope is omitted from the URL, and
typing while already on /search does not push a history entry per keystroke.
Neither search backend orders by *where* the query matched, so a mid-word hit
could outrank a prefix one — typing "parks" surfaced "Sparks of Love" above
"Parks and Recreation".
Add `domain/search_rank.rs`, which sorts by match position (prefix →
word-start → mid-word substring → no name match), then by media kind so a
container outranks its own contents. The sort is stable, so each backend's own
relevance still breaks ties it was never overruled on. `repository_search`
applies it to both the instant cache result and the merged cache+server union,
so the list does not reshuffle when server results land. Ranking lives in Rust
because "a better match" is domain vocabulary, not presentation.
On the frontend, the combined `tvShows` result group splits into separate
Shows and Episodes groups so a show no longer competes with its own episodes
for a slot, and a People group is added so searching an actor's name reaches
their bio. A stored `tvShows` order expands in place, keeping the position an
upgrading user chose for it.
The browsable Downloaded library + Transfers split + on-disk usage
(f25deba, plus today's grouping/perf fixes) fully implement UR-055 and
UR-056, but the requirements doc still listed them and DR-081..085 as
Planned. Flip to Done.
Also fix UT-id collisions: the downloaded-browse and formatBytes tests
reused UT-046..050 (already assigned to smart-cache/playlist tests in the
matrix). Reassign to UT-071..078 and register them in §4, including the
new music/TV container-rollup and orphan-leaf regression tests.
jellyfinFieldMapping.ts (SORT_FIELD_MAP friendly->Jellyfin sort names) had
zero consumers — sort code passes raw Jellyfin field names directly — so it
and its test are deleted.
playbackUnits.ts can't be removed: its tick<->seconds helpers are still the
correct converters for the remote Jellyfin *session* boundary
(SessionInfo.playState.positionTicks, NowPlayingItem.runTimeTicks), which
legitimately arrives in ticks. Documented that narrowed role; formatTime/
calculateProgress remain neutral seconds-based presentation helpers.
Note (out of scope): sortBy still passes raw Jellyfin field names
("SortName", "CommunityRating") — a separate sort-taxonomy leak that would
need its own Rust SortKey, like the search-scope work.
Frontend 626 tests (jellyfinFieldMapping's 18 removed with it), check clean.
The library detail page showed the raw Jellyfin item_type string
("MusicAlbum") to users. Add utils/mediaKind.ts with kindLabel(), a
presentation-only MediaKind -> human label map, and use it for the badge.
Flip the two remaining .type debug logs to .kind.
This removes the last user-visible Jellyfin vocabulary on the catalog
surface. primaryImageTag -> imageId rename (naming-only, ~40 sites across
catalog + player/merged types needing a Rust round-trip) intentionally
deferred as the lowest-value slice.
Frontend 644 tests, check clean.
The catalog surface now speaks milliseconds, the app's neutral time unit.
Ticks no longer reach library/home components.
Rust:
- UserData gains playback_position_ms (dual-carry), populated from ticks
at the offline mapping seam via domain::ticks_to_ms.
Frontend:
- formatDuration(duration.ts) and the two local copies now take ms, not
ticks; all callers pass item.durationMs.
- Progress bars (EpisodeRow, EpisodeFocusView, MediaCard, LibraryListView)
compute playbackPositionMs / durationMs — unit-consistent, no tick math.
- PlaylistDetailView totalDuration sums durationMs.
- duration.test.ts + TrackList.test.ts fixtures updated to ms.
Deferred: player/session/reporting tick math (Queue, SessionCard,
RemoteControls, playbackReporting, playerEvents) — those cross the
storage/Jellyfin command boundary in ticks and need command-signature
changes (phase 3b). Display {item.type} badge -> kind label (phase 4).
Rust 456, frontend 644, check + check:boundary clean.
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
Replace the flat download list with a Downloaded browse surface that
reuses the online grids/cards/detail pages, filtered to on-device media,
plus a demoted Transfers tab. Add repository browse commands
(getDownloadedLibraries/Items, disk usage) with offline/hybrid
implementations, a downloadedCatalog service, formatBytes helper, and
per-item/device disk-usage labels on cards and grids. Regenerated
bindings.
Also carries the inseparable UR-052 offline-filter hunks in
offline.rs/hybrid.rs.
TRACES: UR-055 | DR-081, DR-082, DR-083, DR-084; UR-056 | DR-085
Add a search scope (all/music/shows/movies) resolved from the entry
route and adjustable via filter chips, threaded through the library
store's search() into includeItemTypes. Results group by type in a
user-configurable order, editable from settings.
TRACES: UR-049 | DR-063, DR-064, DR-065; UR-050 | DR-066, DR-067
Hand video playback off to a native audio-only stream when the app is
backgrounded or locked, with no on-device video decode (UR-040). Adds
player_enter/exit_background_audio commands, an audio-only stream URL
for video items across the repository layer, and the frontend handoff
state machine wired into VideoPlayer. Includes accompanying
repository/offline/player refactoring and regenerates the traceability
matrix.
Add PiP for native (ExoPlayer) video on Android. Video renders into a
SurfaceView behind the WebView, so PiP is driven by the Activity shrinking
into a floating window rather than the HTML5 PiP API (which WebKitGTK does
not implement, hence Android-only).
- PictureInPictureManager.kt: enter PiP with the video's aspect ratio
(clamped to the 1:2.39-2.39:1 range Android accepts, outside which it
throws), plus a play/pause RemoteAction. Hides the WebView while in PiP -
it is opaque and sits above the surface, so it would otherwise occlude the
video entirely - and re-fits the surface on exit.
- MainActivity.kt: onUserLeaveHint auto-PiP, onPictureInPictureModeChanged,
and an AndroidPictureInPicture JS interface following the existing
AndroidAudioFocus pattern.
- pictureInPicture.ts + VideoPlayer.svelte: PiP button, rendered only when
the native bridge reports support.
- proguard: keep rules for @JavascriptInterface methods, which are only
referenced from JS and would be stripped in minified release builds.
Casting needs no special handling: canEnterPip() checks natively that a
local video surface is attached and playing, which a remote session lacks.
While wiring the manifest, found that three tracked files under
src-tauri/android/ were never reaching any build. Gradle reads only
gen/android/app/src/main/, and sync-android-sources.sh did not copy them:
- src/main/AndroidManifest.xml was a partial <application> fragment written
as if Tauri merged it. It does not - there is no manifest-merger hook
here, so its hardwareAccelerated flag never reached an APK. Promoted to
the complete authoritative manifest (folding in that flag) and synced.
- src/main/res/values/themes.xml (transparent status bar, fitsSystemWindows)
was never copied; the sync only globbed mipmap-*. Now synced.
- build.gradle.kts was a leftover com.android.library module config with
stale media3 1.5.1 deps. The live deps are in app/build.gradle.kts at
1.5.0. Deleted.
Verified: merged manifest now carries hardwareAccelerated,
supportsPictureInPicture, resizeableActivity and the density configChange;
themes.xml compiles into merged resources; Kotlin builds warning-free;
svelte-check clean; 537 frontend tests pass.
Not verified: PiP behaviour on a device, and the release keep rules against
a minified build. assembleUniversalDebug cannot complete in this
environment - the Rust step wants a dev-server addr file that only exists
under `tauri android dev`.

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.

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.

- 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
Library screens:
- Add dedicated music, TV, and movie landing pages (hero banner +
horizontal carousels) backed by new music/tv/movies stores.
- Route tvshows libraries to /library/tv; surface rediscover ("haven't
listened to in a while") albums via a new repository method across
online/offline/hybrid repos plus the repository_get_rediscover_albums
command.
- Add an A-Z jump bar for long alphabetically-sorted lists, with grid
index anchors in LibraryGrid/LibraryListView/TrackList.
- Filter the "Podcasts" folder out of music library queries.
Downloads:
- Add a backend queue pump: enqueue_download / enqueue_video_downloads
persist the resolved stream URL + target dir on each row (migration
017), and the pump starts up to max_concurrent and drains the rest
automatically as slots free, instead of the frontend silently dropping
items past the concurrency limit. Album/series/season buttons now
enqueue rather than calling start_download directly.
Other fixes:
- Hybrid search now returns instant cache results and pushes the merged
cache+server union via a request-id-tagged search-event, so superseded
queries can't clobber fresher results.
- URL-encode SearchTerm / genres / item types in online repo requests.
- Android: pause on audio-becoming-noisy (headphone/BT disconnect).
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.
