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().

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.
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.

Adds Docker-based packaging for Linux desktop (deb/rpm), Arch
(.pkg.tar.zst via makepkg), and Windows. Windows cross-compiles from
Linux via the official Tauri path — the x86_64-pc-windows-msvc target
driven by cargo-xwin — and produces an NSIS installer (nsis via
tauri.conf.json targets, since the CLI rejects --bundles nsis on a Linux
host). Verified end to end: builds jellytau.exe + jellytau_x64-setup.exe.
Unifies everything on one registry builder image (Dockerfile.builder):
Android SDK/NDK, rpm/file, clang(+clang-cl)/lld/llvm/nsis, cargo-xwin and
the msvc target. Packaging tools sit in a trailing layer so tool changes
rebuild in ~1min instead of ~15. Desktop stages are thin FROM
${BUILDER_IMAGE} layers; Arch uses a separate archlinux image.
CLAUDE.md: CI must install no system toolchains — everything lives in the
image. Bumps version 0.0.18 -> 0.1.0 (Windows support + webview audio +
equalizer).
TRACES: UR-003, UR-005 | DR-004
Adds WebviewAudioBackend, used on non-Linux/non-Android targets (e.g.
Windows) where there is no libmpv/ExoPlayer. Instead of decoding, it
emits a WebviewAudioLoad event with the stream URL; a frontend <audio>
element (WebviewAudioAdapter + webviewAudio service) plays it and reports
state/position back through the existing player_report_* round-trip, so
the Rust PlayerController stays the single source of truth. Play/pause/
seek reach the element via the existing ControlCommand event.
All video already renders in the webview on every platform, so this
completes audio-only playback for Windows (video via WebView2, audio via
<audio>). Pure Rust + Tauri events, so it still cross-compiles from Linux.
Regenerates bindings.ts (adds webview_audio_load; also carries the
equalizer EQ bindings).
TRACES: UR-003, UR-004, UR-005 | DR-004
Adds a 10-band graphic equalizer to AudioSettings (enabled flag +
per-band dB gains, normalised to 10 entries and clamped to range).
Presets return gain curves; the settings page gains EQ UI. libmpv
applies the filter on Linux (Android parity pending). Old persisted
settings without EQ fields load as disabled + flat.
Also includes the requirements/traceability/ux-flows doc updates for
this feature and the home long-press routing (UR-058/DR-087).
TRACES: UR-027 | IR-020, DR-030 | UT-079, UT-080, UT-081, UT-082
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.
Two bugs on the Downloaded browse surface (UR-055/UR-056):
1. Grouping — browsing a downloaded *library* listed individual leaves
(songs, episodes) instead of their containers. The library-level match in
`get_downloaded_items` selected every downloaded item on the server; add a
NOT EXISTS clause so the top level shows only albums/series/movies, with
leaves still reachable by drilling in. Regression tests for music + TV.
2. "Loading your downloads…" hung on large libraries. The disk-usage
partiality query did an OR-based self-join over the entire synced catalog
(O(items^2), unindexable). Narrow it to downloaded containers first via a
CTE, and add the missing idx_items_season index (migration 020 + base
schema) — parent_id/album_id/series_id were already indexed.
Also annotate the existing backend tests that cover the IT-016/IT-017
end-to-end offline-listing scenarios with their trace IDs.
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.
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.
Establish src-tauri/src/domain/ as the single source of truth for the
media model, with all Jellyfin translation isolated in from_jellyfin.rs.
Adds MediaKind enum and neutral duration_ms/image_id fields to MediaItem
as additive, defaulted dual-carry alongside the legacy Jellyfin-named
fields, so nothing breaks while the frontend migrates off them.
- domain/media.rs: canonical MediaKind (closed enum, replaces stringly
item_type), Default = Other so unknown/defaulted items are inert.
- domain/from_jellyfin.rs: total, panic-free item_type -> MediaKind
classification (all audited types + person subroles) and ticks->ms.
- MediaItem gains kind/duration_ms/image_id, populated at both mapping
seams (online to_media_item, offline cached_item_to_media_item) and
the synthesized-album/person sites.
- Regenerated bindings.ts: frontend now HAS the neutral model available.
Phase 1 of docs/specs/frontend-domain-model.md. No frontend behaviour
change yet; wire shape is a superset of before.
Rust 456 tests, frontend 644 tests, check + check:boundary all green.
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.

Add a metered/cellular network detector so downloads honour a "WiFi
only" preference. Android reports network type via NetworkTypeMonitor;
Rust exposes it through download/network.rs and holds the queue pump when
on a metered connection, emitting a queue-wide waitingForNetwork event.
The frontend surfaces this via the networkType service and a
waitingForNetwork store flag.
TRACES: UR-053 | DR-074
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.
Needed to deploy over the CI-installed build on device: CI derives
versionCode as 1000 + major*10000 + minor*100 + patch, so the field is
already at 1000, while a local `tauri android build` writes the raw
patch number (15) and is rejected as a downgrade.
Cargo.toml is versioned independently (0.1.0) and is left alone.
Note: local builds still emit the raw code (16) - only CI applies the
1000+ formula, so deploying to a device with a CI build installed needs
gen/android/app/tauri.properties patched after Tauri regenerates it.

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.

The monochrome adaptive-icon layer produced a poor themed-icon rendering.
Remove the <monochrome> reference from mipmap-anydpi-v26/ic_launcher.xml and
delete the ic_launcher_monochrome.png files so Android always uses the color
adaptive icon (background + foreground). sync-android-sources.sh also drops any
monochrome layer Tauri regenerates.

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.

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
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).
The offline/online switch was janky because two independent systems decided
"online" and never communicated:
- ConnectivityMonitor owned is_server_reachable (drove the UI banner) but
learned reachability only from a standalone /System/Info/Public ping loop
and from auth/login calls.
- HybridRepository served all real data by racing cache-vs-server but never
read or wrote reachability.
So the banner reflected a side-channel poller, not the system the user actually
experienced: a successful ping could read "online" while authenticated data
calls 401'd or timed out, and three different timeout regimes (5s ping / 30s
data / 100ms cache race) flapped against each other.
Unify into a single source of truth:
- Extract a cheap, cloneable ConnectivityReporter that owns all reachability
transitions and event emission.
- OnlineRepository reports the outcome of every server request to the reporter,
classified via RepoError: Ok/Authentication/NotFound/Server => reachable
(the server answered), Network => offline candidate, Database/Offline =>
ignored (not a server signal).
- Time-window debounce (OFFLINE_CONFIRM_WINDOW = 5s): flip offline only after
sustained network failure; recover instantly on the first success.
- Demote the ping loop to an offline-only recovery probe (no online polling;
real traffic is the signal when online).
- Frontend: navigator.onLine is now advisory (triggers a recheck instead of
forcing offline); removed the dead markReachable/markUnreachable store methods.
Docs updated (README, 07-connectivity, 03-data-flow, 02-svelte-frontend) to
describe the new model and fix pre-existing drift (HTTP client is 30s timeout +
5s ping, not the documented 10s/base_url).
Tests: 12 connectivity tests (debounce, instant recovery, RepoError
classification through report_outcome). Full suite: 398 Rust + 384 frontend
passing, svelte-check clean.

JellyTauPlayer.kt references com.dtourolle.jellytau.VideoOverlayManager,

survived locally but vanished in CI (which regenerates gen/android via
'tauri android init'). sync-android-sources.sh copies top-level *.kt
