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.
Renumbers the mosaic's requirement IDs out of the way of the download work
that landed on master in parallel: it had already claimed DR-163/DR-164 and
UT-162, so the mosaic layout is now DR-172, the library favourites scope
DR-173, and its composition test UT-167.
Note for the download branch: its UT-162..UT-165 rows trace to DR-163..DR-166,
none of which are defined in requirements.md — that branch defined DR-167..171
instead. Those references are orphaned and want a look; nothing here touches
them.
The library overview and the home shortcut strip showed artwork of three
different shapes — square music covers, 16:9 library backdrops, 2:3 posters —
in grids that pick one box and crop everything to it. The home strip said so
in a comment: it forced `aspect="video"` on music libraries so the row would
line up, which lined it up by cutting the covers down.
Both surfaces are now justified mosaics: rows share one height and each tile is
as wide as its own artwork. `layoutMosaic` is a pure module — it packs tiles
until the height needed to fill the container drops to the target, justifies the
row by absorbing the rounding remainder into its widest tile, and deliberately
leaves the last row unstretched so one leftover tile does not inflate into a
banner. The component supplies only what the DOM knows: the measured container
width, and the artwork's *decoded* aspect ratio (via a new `onNaturalSize` on
CachedImage), committed in one debounced batch so the grid does not reshuffle
once per image as artwork lands.
Favourites gain a tile per category beside the library it belongs to, alongside
the existing cross-library entry. Which collection type maps to which category
is Jellyfin vocabulary, so it is derived in Rust — `SearchScope::for_collection_type`,
stamped onto every `Library` by a new constructor and carried over as an optional
`favoritesScope`. Deriving it in Svelte would have rebuilt the exact leak
`SearchScope::item_types` was extracted to close. A category shows one tile
however many libraries share it, and a library kind favourites do not carve up
(Live TV, channels, books) gets none.
Also corrects the requirements-count test, which the UR-074 commit left one
behind.

Batch of reported bugs and enhancements.
UI
- Pages no longer inherit the previous page's scroll position (DR-156, UR-072).
The shell keeps its scrollers alive across navigation by design, so the
element never remounts and its scrollTop survived the route change; SvelteKit
restores window scroll, which this app never uses. ScrollMemory records the
offset per route and per container: forward moves reset to the top, Back
restores where the route was left.
- Season header stacks on narrow screens, and the title span gets min-w-0 so it
actually truncates instead of overflowing under the action buttons.
- Favourites gets a labelled tile at the head of the library grid rather than
only an unlabelled heart icon in the header.
Playback
- Full-screen video on Android hides the system bars (DR-157, UR-066).
requestFullscreen() cannot touch the Activity window from inside a WebView, so
the control did nothing visible while the bars stayed painted over the video.
ImmersiveModeBridge hides them, restored on exit, Escape and teardown.
- Background-audio handoff stops leaking its relative timeline (DR-159).
background_audio_base was a display-only correction applied in two places
while progress reports to Jellyfin, the frontend and media3's own seeks all
worked in the relative timeline treating it as absolute — each crossing losing
exactly `base` seconds. The conversion now happens once, in the position tick,
and inbound seeks resolve through seek_absolute, which re-opens the stream at
the requested position because the handoff transcode cannot seek.
- Picture-in-picture works on the path that actually plays video (DR-160).
canEnterPip demanded a native ExoPlayer surface, but that path is behind a
flag defaulting to off, so PiP could never engage. It now accepts the WebView
<video> too, keeping the WebView visible and routing play/pause to the element.
- Native video is now the default so PiP has a real surface (DR-161). The
scrub-regression tests pinned the flag-off path implicitly; they now mock it
off explicitly. The native scrub/seek path is not covered by the suite and
needs device verification.
Watched state
- Watched toggle on the episode row, season header, series and movie hero, and
the Episode Focus View (DR-158, UR-073). Both backend halves already existed
with no caller. storage_set_watched covers a container's episodes so the
toggle is honest offline, and QueuedOp::MarkUnplayed gives the sync queue the
missing direction.
Release
- Fix the Android versionCode floor (set-version.sh). v0.5.2 shipped code 5002
under an earlier minor*1000 scheme, but the current minor*100 formula yields
1502 for that version and 1503 for 0.5.3 — so every 0.5.x release built from
it was an un-installable downgrade for anyone already on v0.5.2. Widened to
10000 + major*1000000 + minor*1000 + patch (0.5.3 -> 15003).
- Bump to 0.5.3.
MediaCard derives its artwork aspect ratio from the item, so a music
library rendered aspect-square (144px tall at w-36) next to video
libraries at aspect-video (81px), leaving the home row ragged.
Add an optional `aspect` prop that overrides the derived ratio, and pass
aspect="video" from the home Libraries strip. Unset, behaviour is
unchanged, so the /library overview grid and the media carousels keep
their per-type ratios. Artwork already uses object-cover, so square music
art crops rather than distorts.

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.
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.
Specs: docs/specs/catalog-index-search.md,
docs/specs/read-through-media-cache.md
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
The Episode Focus View's episode strip collapsed to just the current
episode on some series. Two causes:
- Series that expose episodes directly as children rather than under
season folders yielded an empty season fetch, leaving allEpisodes
empty. The library page now groups those flat episode children by
their season number and synthesizes minimal season headers.
- isCurrentEpisode over-matched: episodes with no season/episode number
compared equal (undefined === undefined) and every one of them looked
like the focused episode.
Extracts the strip's pure logic into episodeStrip.ts so both behaviours
are unit-tested, per the failing-test-first rule.
TRACES: UR-058 | DR-087
Home carousel cards route a tap to the item's detail / Episode Focus
View and a ~500ms long-press to a confirm-then-play flow. MediaCard gains
an onLongPress prop with pointer-based detection (cancelled on >10px move
so carousel scroll is unaffected, trailing click suppressed). Episode
taps route to /library/<seriesId>?episode=<id>; the bare-episode detail
page links back to its parent series/season.
TRACES: UR-058 | DR-087
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.
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
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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- 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.
svelte-check: 0 errors. vitest: green. cargo test --lib: green.
Casting: restore camelCase serialization on SessionInfo/NowPlayingItem/PlayState
(container rename_all = "camelCase" + per-field PascalCase serde aliases so Jellyfin
PascalCase still deserializes). Bindings and the existing frontend are camelCase
again — casting works with no frontend session changes.
Downloads: migrate DownloadButton.svelte and downloads.ts to the typed
commands.downloadItemAndStart / downloadItem / downloadVideo wrappers (request
objects), matching the bundled backend signatures.
Tooling:
- Enable tauri-specta ErrorHandlingMode::Throw so commands.* return Promise<T>
and throw (drop-in for invoke()).
- Disambiguate specta name collisions: player MediaItem/MediaSource ->
PlayerMediaItem/PlayerMediaSource, auth ServerInfo -> AuthServerInfo.
- Regenerate bindings.ts; svelte-check passes (0 errors).
- 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.
