An unexplained pause/resume loop was invisible over adb: handlePause
logged nothing at all, so only the "playing" half of each cycle showed
up, and the 1s debug tick logged an object — which the Android WebView
console bridge renders as "[object Object]", discarding every field.
Log the element state on pause (readyState, networkState, seeking,
ended, plus the component's own isSeeking/isBuffering/handoff flags) and
emit the debug tick as a flat string. This is what identified DR-097:
the element was fully buffered and healthy at every pause, ruling out a
stall and pointing at a competing controller instead.
Seeking near the end of a transcoded video locked the player into a
stall/pause loop: unpausing or skipping bounced straight back to paused.
Both seek paths clamped the target to exactly `duration`. hls.js then
requested the segment whose start time lies *past* the end of the media
(a 6330.324s item asks for segment 1055, starting at 6336.33s). Jellyfin
never produces that segment, the fetch times out, and the gap-controller
stalls forever at the last buffered position — retrying ~1x/second and
firing an endless stream of AbortErrors as play() lands mid-nudge.
Clamp strictly inside the media instead, keeping one segment length
(6s) of margin, floored at 0 so short media still seeks to the start.
The seek-bar drag path needed this too: its range input `max` is the
duration itself, so dragging fully right produced the same dead target.
Also bumps the requirement-count fixture for the new DR-095 row.
A tap cannot be classified when it lands — it may still turn out to be
the first half of a double tap. Play/pause is therefore deferred until
the 300ms double-tap window closes, and cancelled outright if a second
tap arrives, so a double tap seeks without also toggling pause.
Forward skip moves from 10s to 30s (back stays 10s), for both double tap
and the keyboard arrows.
The timing rules live in tapGestures.ts so they are unit-testable
without mounting the player. Rapid double taps now chain off a
still-in-flight seek target instead of all resolving against the same
not-yet-updated position.

The <video> element used `max-w-full max-h-full`, which only ever shrinks
oversized media. A source smaller than the window (480p on a 1080p display)
rendered at its intrinsic size — a small picture floating in a black frame.
Fill the container and let `object-contain` do the scaling, so the picture
fits whichever axis constrains it in both directions while preserving aspect
ratio. The sizing rules move to `videoFit.ts` so they are unit-testable
outside the component.
An episode handed off to the audio-only path for background playback is a
MediaType::Audio item, so autoplay's video-only checks stopped
recognising it as an episode: playback simply ended at the episode
boundary instead of continuing to the next one.
- Carry episode identity (item_type, series_id) through the
background-audio handoff so the backend queue item still knows it's an
episode; is_episode_item now trusts item_type over the media_type
heuristic, and the sleep timer's episode counter follows.
- The frontend normally performs the advance by navigating to
/player/<id>, which is unavailable while the WebView is suspended.
advance_to_next_episode_audio_only drives it entirely in the backend:
fetch the next episode, build its audio-only stream URL, and load it
into the native audio player, preserving episode identity so the
following boundary advances too.
- Android's autoplay dispatch routes background-audio episodes to that
backend advance and keeps the countdown path for the foreground.
- get_audio_only_stream_url_for_video joins the MediaRepository trait
(online delegates to the existing builder, offline errors) so the
controller can reach it without a frontend round-trip.

The audio-only (background-audio) button was gated on the
AndroidBackgroundAudio JS-bridge probe, resolved once as a const at mount.
The bridge is injected into the WebView asynchronously and races component
mount, so on some loads the probe returned false and never recovered,
hiding the button on 'some videos' at random.
Gate on platform() === 'android' instead (synchronous, stable), matching
the convention in VolumeControl. toggleBackgroundAudio() already no-ops if
the bridge is momentarily absent.
Bump version to 0.0.18.
Add StreamKind enum (audio/video/subtitle/other) to the domain module with
a total stream_kind_from_jellyfin mapper. MediaStream gains a kind field
(dual-carry), populated at the mapping seam. Frontend VideoPlayer track/
subtitle selection and the channel-video check now use stream.kind instead
of the Jellyfin stream.type string.
Rust 456 (+ stream_kinds_map test), frontend 644, check clean.
Rust: PlayerMediaItem and MergedMediaItem gain image_id (dual-carry),
populated from primary_image_tag at every construction/conversion site.
Regenerated bindings.
Frontend: all catalog + player + merged readers now use imageId. The
NowPlayingItem->MediaItem bridge (player.ts) properly maps the remote
session's Jellyfin fields (Type, runTimeTicks, primaryImageTag) onto the
neutral kind/durationMs/imageId. Types that are genuinely out of scope
(Person, NowPlayingItem, PlayItemRequest) keep primaryImageTag.
Rust 456, frontend 644, 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.
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`.

Establish a decoupled player boundary so UI and backend interact with video
through one contract, with the HTML5 (Linux/interim-Android) and native
(ExoPlayer) providers as interchangeable primitive-executor adapters.
- PlayerAdapter interface + AdapterHost callback bag (adapters/types.ts): the
adapter owns only decision-free element PRIMITIVES (seekElement, reloadSource,
play/pause, setVolume, selectSubtitle); it never branches on strategy.
- Seek/audio-track DECISIONS stay in Rust (player_seek_video / _switch_audio_track
return a strategy); the facade dispatches the chosen primitive to the active
adapter. Both providers share the one decision path — logic lives once, in Rust.
- Facade holds the active adapter; a new ControlCommand PlayerStatusEvent lets
backend control (lockscreen/remote/sleep) drive the webview <video> element.
- Html5PlayerAdapter resolves the LIVE element via the bridge (fixes play/pause
silently no-opping when the element was re-bound).
- Do not emit a "stopped" player state on natural end-of-video: it flipped the
player/mode to idle mid-handoff and suppressed next-episode auto-advance under
a sleep timer. Jellyfin progress reporting is preserved; the backend's
on_video_playback_ended owns the transition.
- VideoPlayer net -300 lines (strategy/HLS-reload logic relocated to the adapter).
- Adds 20 adapter unit tests; existing suites stay green (vitest 457, cargo 416).

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
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.
