A resumed transcode played nothing at all: every segment came back 400, hls.js
exhausted its retries and gave up, while the same episode from the beginning was
fine.
Jellyfin builds each segment URI by echoing the master playlist's query string
into it, and its segment handler opens by rejecting any request carrying
StartTimeTicks > 0 (ArgumentException → 400). So one resume position on the
playlist is copied onto every hls1/main/N.ts and 400s all of them — the `> 0`
being exactly why starting from the beginning survived.
HLS does not need the parameter: a playlist spans the whole item and asking for
segment N *is* the seek. It is removed from the URL builder entirely rather than
conditionalised — the builder cannot know whether its response will be
segmented — and the position becomes a seek issued once the player has loaded.
The progressive /Audio/universal builder behind the background-audio handoff has
no segments and keeps its StartTimeTicks, which is why audio-only handoffs
resumed correctly and video ones did not.
Completing that across the boundary, since the URL no longer starts where the
caller asked:
- reloadSource(url, position) now means "reload and resume AT this absolute
position": it seeks the element once the source is playable and clears the
transcode offset to zero. It previously set the offset to the position and
seeked nothing, which was correct only while the URL itself began there —
left in place it would have shown 20:00 on the scrubber while the opening
titles played, with no seek ever happening.
- The transcoded resume path in the player page collapses into the same
"seek after load" branch direct streams already used.
- VideoPlayer's background-audio return does the same: no base, seek to the
absolute position.
- The stale test asserting StartTimeTicks is present is rewritten to keep its
other half (an HLS master playlist, never a progressive stream.mp4, carrying
the chosen source and audio track).

An album download put a handful of its tracks on the device while the button
reported the album as downloaded. Two independent gaps, one shared cause.
- `download_album` read its track list from `items WHERE album_id = ?` — the
local catalog cache. Jellyfin does not return `AlbumId` on every listing
endpoint, so tracks cached from one of those sit in `items` with a NULL
`album_id` and are invisible to that query. On the reported database three
whole albums (18, 12 and 9 tracks) had it NULL on every track; a partially
linked album queued only the linked subset.
- The frontend then resolved one stream URL per track from its own list and
paired it with the returned row ids by position. The ids came back in the
backend's `index_number` order over a different set of rows, so a row could
be handed another track's URL and any track past the end of the shorter list
was never started. On Android that loop also stopped wherever the webview was
suspended.
- `album_id` is what `OfflineRepository::get_items` joins a track to its album
on, so a track that did download stayed invisible under its album offline —
the same missing link seen from the other side.
The operation now belongs to Rust end to end:
- `HybridRepository::get_album_tracks` asks the server what the album contains.
Cache-first `get_items` is right for browsing and wrong for deciding what to
download; it errors offline so the caller falls back to the ungated local
catalog, keeping the queue-while-offline flow.
- `queue_album_tracks` writes the album link onto every track it queues, and
creates an `items` row for tracks the cache has never seen.
- Stream URLs resolve here, through the existing reconnect resolver, now scoped
to the rows just queued so one album cannot start every unrelated pending row.
Only the album id crosses the IPC boundary.
- `album_file_names` gives each track its own file. A title repeated inside one
album (deluxe edition, two discs) mapped to one path, so those downloads
overwrote each other.
Re-tapping download on a broken album heals it: missing tracks are queued and
the tracks already on disk get their link.
`download_series`/`download_season` still derive their episode lists from the
cache the same way and want the same treatment.
DR-173, UT-170..172. Rust 673 tests, frontend 975 tests, svelte-check and
check:boundary clean.
Note: this tree is shared with a concurrent session. Only the files above are
committed; docs/traceability.md is left to be regenerated once that work lands.
Work from a parallel session in the same working tree, committed here so the
branch is not left half-written. Attribution note: authored in a concurrent
Claude session, not by the author of the preceding commit.
- DR-171: a downloaded video keeps audio the device can actually decode.
`original` quality asked for a straight copy, so an E-AC-3/AC-3/DTS/TrueHD
track came down untouched and the webview had nothing to play it with.
- `get_video_download_url` gains the media source, so the URL is built against
the source actually chosen rather than the item's default.
- Device profile and repository plumbing updated to match.
Verified green as a whole: 656 Rust tests, 945 frontend tests, svelte-check clean.
The resume check reads the local user_data row and nothing else, but
mirror_user_data -- the only path by which server UserData lands in that
table -- mirrored is_favorite alone, and returned early whenever that
field was absent, which is exactly the shape of an ordinary watched
episode. playback_position_ticks was therefore write-only from this
device's perspective: watch 40 minutes in a browser, open JellyTau, and
it resumed from whatever this device last saw, or offered no resume at
all. Same user-visible symptom as the Android bug fixed earlier on this
branch, from an unrelated cause -- which is why resume read as broadly
flaky rather than as one defect.
The mirror now carries the position alongside the favourite flag under
the same pending_sync = 0 conflict rule, so a local position still
waiting to be pushed is never pulled backwards by a server that has not
yet heard where we got to. COALESCE(excluded.x, user_data.x) keeps the
stored value for a field the server omitted rather than nulling it, and
a row with neither field is still skipped rather than fabricated as
zeroes.
Mirroring alone was not sufficient. get_item -- the call the player route
makes -- returned the cached copy on a hit and never consulted the
server, so for an already-cached item the mirror never ran. It now
refreshes in the background on a cache hit via race_with_refresh, the
reusable form of what get_items already did inline. That asymmetry is
why browsing a season picked up other devices' state while opening the
episode directly did not. The refreshed value lands for the next read;
the cache-first race still answers immediately.
The DR/total counts in extract-traces.test.ts are updated for DR-154 and
DR-155 -- that edit is the test's intended signal that the CI gate's
denominator is live rather than frozen.
Verified red->green in the jellytau-builder image: both new tests failed
before the fix. Full Rust suite passes (634), cargo fmt clean, clippy
adds no new warnings; frontend suite (933) and svelte-check clean.

Bundles this session's work plus the concurrent search/offline/player changes.
Every gate passes on the combined tree: 885 frontend tests, 610 Rust tests,
clippy clean, boundary clean, trace coverage 86%.
Offline video playback — four separate defects, each of which alone stopped it:
DR-133 A completed download's file_path is already absolute (the worker
rewrites it on completion), but the player rooted it a second time and
handed the webview /data/user/0/app//data/user/0/app/videos/x.mp4.
DR-134 The asset protocol was never enabled: no protocol-asset feature and no
assetProtocol config, so convertFileSrc produced URLs nothing answered.
Also silently defeated the cached-thumbnail path, which fails soft to
the server copy and hid it whenever the server was reachable.
DR-137 Tauri's asset protocol answers a range-less request by reading the
whole file into memory, and only advertises Accept-Ranges from inside
its range branch, so the first request never learns ranges exist.
Chromium gave up with PIPELINE_ERROR_READ after ~31s. Local media is
now served by a loopback HTTP server: bounded 4 MiB chunks streamed
from the file handle, every response length-delimited, and a range-less
request answered with one chunk rather than the file. Confined by a
per-session token and to the app data directory, because loopback is
shared between apps on Android.
DR-138 Release builds set usesCleartextTraffic=false, so Android rejected the
request to that server before any I/O. A network-security-config
exempts 127.0.0.1 only; a remote server must still be HTTPS.
Downloads:
DR-135 download_item never records media_type and the reconnect resolver read
that NULL as 'audio', so a movie queued from a media card had its URL
resolved by get_audio_stream_url and completed as an audio-only
transcode. The item's own type now decides.
DR-136 Rows already downloaded that way are requeued on reconnect, since
prevention alone leaves them reading "downloaded" and still unplayable.
Known limitation: a download taken at `original` quality is a byte copy of the
source, so it can be any container. One such file is an AVI holding XVID, which
the webview cannot play in any case — the media server serves it correctly and
Chromium refuses it. That needs either a transcoded download preset or the
native ExoPlayer surface work, and is not addressed here.
Also fixes two ID collisions between concurrent work: DR-143 defined twice
(search vs offline gate) and UT-131 defined twice (Episode Focus hero vs channel
cap). The search requirement is now DR-147 and the channel-cap test UT-141, with
their code references and matrix rows updated.
The hybrid favourites read went straight to the online repository on a
cache miss and dropped the result on the floor. Every other read path
persists what it fetches, so this one made the favourites page re-query
the server on every visit — and left the offline mirror (DR-114) empty on
a fresh install, since this is the path that fills it.
It now goes through get_favorites_server_only, which saves through on the
way back.
The command had a matching hole: with nothing cached it returned the empty
result, painting "Nothing favourited yet" at a viewer whose favourites
were simply marked on another client. It now asks the repository for a
real answer instead of an empty state it would correct a round trip later.
TRACES: UR-067 | DR-115
Search's instant leg read only downloaded items, so with no downloads it
returned nothing and every keystroke fell through to a full Recursive=true
server query. It now reads the whole synced catalog through the same
availability CTE get_items uses, gated on the same include_catalog_browse
flag so search and browse cannot diverge. (UR-065, DR-108)
Also fixes three defects found while confirming that:
- items_fts grew by a full duplicate index every catalog pass. INSERT OR
REPLACE fires no AFTER DELETE trigger without recursive_triggers, so the
old index row was orphaned, and a TEXT PRIMARY KEY meant the replacement
took a fresh rowid and inserted a second entry. Now a real upsert, with
migration 021 rebuilding existing indexes. (DR-110)
- DELETE FROM items existed nowhere, so server-side deletions never
propagated. Adds a post-crawl mark-and-sweep, scoped to crawled types,
skipping downloaded items, and refusing to run after a partial crawl
because items.parent_id cascades. (DR-110)
- The index omitted MusicArtist, Playlist and People, which search groups
results by. Adds them plus people_fts (migration 022). (DR-111)
Re-indexing moves from a frontend startup call to a Rust background task
with a 6h TTL, so a long session no longer searches a stale catalog and a
restart no longer forces a crawl regardless of freshness. (DR-109, IR-030)
Downloads gain a lifetime tier. Eviction selected every completed row by
age with no download_source filter, so hitting the storage limit deleted
the oldest download -- typically one saved deliberately for offline -- to
make room for a precached track. It now reclaims only 'auto' rows, and
expired ones are reclaimed first, before live cache is evicted.
(DR-126, DR-127)
Downloaded video and audio-only handoffs now play from disk instead of
streaming; the video path had never consulted downloads at all. No
transcode is involved: MPV runs video=no and ExoPlayer has no surface for
an Audio item. (DR-123 in part, DR-128)
FTS queries are built as quoted phrases so apostrophes, hyphens and
slashes are data rather than operator syntax, and the item-type filter is
bound rather than interpolated.

Includes concurrently-developed favourites browsing and background-audio
stream-end handling; the two workstreams share offline.rs, lib.rs and
online.rs, so no subset of files builds independently.
Opening a series dumped the viewer at the top of season 1, and its Play
button played nothing at all: it resolved `$libraryItems[0]` — the first
*season* by SortName — and navigated to `/player/<seasonId>`, which the
player route bounced straight back to `/library/<seasonId>`.
The backend could already answer "where is this viewer in this show":
`repository_get_next_up_episodes` has accepted a `series_id` since it was
written and no caller had ever passed one.
Backend (DR-101, DR-106)
- `repository/series_progress.rs`: `pick_current_episode` — in progress,
else Next Up, else first unwatched, else the premiere. The third rung is
the offline path, where Next Up is always empty. `sort_series_order` puts
specials (season 0) after the numbered seasons.
- `repository_get_series_episodes` takes over the season fan-out and the
flat-series fallback, which were domain knowledge living in the frontend.
- `clear_watch_history` maps to Jellyfin's mark-unplayed (recursive over a
container, also zeroes resume). Offline it refuses rather than diverging
state the next sync would undo.
Frontend (DR-102, DR-103, DR-104, DR-107)
- Seasons collapse; only the current one is expanded, and the current
episode is badged and scrolled into view.
- Hero button reads `Resume S2E4` / `Play S1E1` and opens that episode's
focus view, where Play commits (ux-flows §5B.5).
- Seasons are no longer a destination: `/library/<seasonId>` redirects to
`/library/<seriesId>#season-N`, and every inbound link follows.
- The "More Episodes" strip spans the whole series, so a season finale
offers the next premiere instead of dead-ending (§5B.2).
- Clear-history buttons on the series hero and each season header.
Routes (DR-105)
- `/library/tv` and `/library/movies` absorb their all-titles and genres
pages as `?view=` tabs; the four legacy routes redirect. 6 video routes
become 2, and `/library/shows/genres` stops being the odd one out.
Logic extracted to `seriesNavigation.ts`, `episodeStrip.ts` and
`libraryView.ts` so it is unit-tested rather than buried in components.
Spec: docs/specs/series-current-episode-navigation.md
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.
TRACES: UR-040, UR-023 | DR-052 | JA-032
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.

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.
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).
Workstream A — poison-tolerant locking:
- Add utils/lock.rs with MutexSafe/RwLockSafe extension traits that recover a
poisoned std::sync lock instead of panicking, plus unit tests.
- Replace all 153 .lock().unwrap() and 4 .read()/.write().unwrap() production
sites with _safe variants across 14 files, eliminating the player
crash-cascade class. Tokio async mutexes are unchanged.
Workstream B — graceful backend init:
- create_player_backend no longer panics when MPV/ExoPlayer fail to initialize;
it falls back to NullBackend and emits a backend-init-failed event so the UI
can show "playback unavailable" instead of the app crashing. Fatal DB-setup
panics are kept.
Workstream F — doc reconciliation:
- Rewrite software-architecture.md's inaccurate "thin UI / ~800 lines" claims to
reflect reality (~20.5k non-test frontend) and document the events+polling
hybrid plus the new locking/backend-init behavior.
