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.
Migrate catalog MediaItem consumers from stringly item.type ("Audio",
"MusicAlbum", …) to the neutral item.kind enum across all classification
logic: home, library detail, player routing, artist/person/related/genre
components, tv store.
Model refinements found during migration (each a real distinction the
flat item_type collapsed):
- MediaKind::LiveChannel — live TV (playable, non-seekable) vs
- MediaKind::ChannelItem — channel VOD leaf (playable, seekable) vs
- MediaKind::Channel — channel container (drill-in).
TvChannel->LiveChannel, non-folder ChannelFolderItem->ChannelItem.
RelatedItemsSection and GenreTags props migrated from Jellyfin type
strings to MediaKind; MediaKind re-exported from api/types.
Deferred by design: display {item.type} text, ResultsCounter labels,
Person.type (role), stream.type (phase 4), and all runTimeTicks/tick math
(coupled to playbackPositionTicks — phase 3). Old fields still dual-carried
so nothing breaks.
Rust 456 + 7 domain tests, frontend 644 tests, check clean.
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.

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).
- Convert music category buttons from <button> to native <a> links for better Android compatibility
- Convert artist/album nested buttons in TrackList to <a> links to fix HTML validation issues
- Add event handlers with proper stopPropagation to maintain click behavior
- Increase library overview card sizes from medium to large (50% bigger)
- Increase thumbnail sizes in list view from 10x10 to 16x16
- Add console logging for debugging click events on mobile
- Remove preventDefault() handlers that were blocking Android touch events
These changes resolve navigation issues on Android devices where buttons weren't responding to taps. Native <a> links provide better cross-platform compatibility and allow SvelteKit to handle navigation more reliably.
