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
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).

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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.

Remove unused imports and a dead test helper, and strengthen tests that
held unused bindings/fields so the values are actually exercised:
- drop unused imports (HttpConfig, MediaType, std::io::Write)
- remove unused TestEventEmitter::clear helper
- replace meaningless size_of asserts with real empty-manager checks
- assert on MockTrack.name in sorting tests
- online.rs: on Linux, advertise only WebView-decodable codecs (h264 video;
aac/mp3/opus/vorbis/flac audio) in PlaybackInfo so Jellyfin transcodes
HEVC/AV1/VP9/etc. to h264 HLS for the WebKitGTK <video> element.
- player: on Linux, don't load video into MPV (no embedded window — it would
start a redundant decode the frontend immediately stops). Add
PlayerController::set_current_item to keep queue/UI/remote-transfer state in
sync without loading the item into the playback backend.
- Add #[specta::specta] to all 201 #[tauri::command] functions.
- Derive specta::Type on all IPC DTOs (repository/types, settings, player/storage/
download command DTOs, player enums, jellyfin SessionInfo/NowPlayingItem/PlayState,
ThumbnailCacheStats, DownloadInfo, CacheConfig, etc.).
- Replace tauri::generate_handler! with a tauri_specta::Builder + collect_commands!
in lib.rs (exports bindings.ts in debug builds).
Two contract changes required by specta constraints (frontend migration follows):
- specta caps command arity at 10 args: download_item_and_start / download_item /
download_video now take a single request struct (params bundled, body unchanged
via destructuring).
- specta can't parse split serde rename_all: SessionInfo/NowPlayingItem/PlayState
switched to rename_all = "PascalCase" (Jellyfin deserialization preserved; these
now serialize PascalCase to the frontend).
cargo check --lib is clean (0 errors). Frontend migration to bindings.ts is the next step.
- Move commands/download.rs to commands/download/mod.rs.
- Extract pin/unpin/is_pinned into download/pinning.rs.
- Extract smart-cache stats/config + album recommendation commands into
download/smart_cache.rs.
- Re-exported via pub use so command names stay at commands::download::*;
invoke_handler unchanged, all tests pass.
- commands/player/timers.rs: sleep-timer + autoplay commands (8).
- commands/player/session.rs: media session get/dismiss commands (2).
- Make create_media_item and get_player_status pub(super) so the submodules can
reuse them. mod.rs shrinks from ~2720 to ~2229 lines; invoke_handler unchanged.
- Move commands/player.rs to commands/player/mod.rs (folder module).
- Extract the 5 self-contained remote-session control commands
(remote_play_on_session/send_command/session_seek/set_volume/toggle_mute)
into commands/player/remote.rs, re-exported via `pub use remote::*` so the
command names remain at commands::player::* and the invoke_handler is unchanged.
No behavior change; establishes the submodule split pattern for the oversized
command file.
Move the pure determine_video_seek_strategy function and its VideoSeekStrategy
enum (plus the 5 seek-strategy unit tests) out of the command layer into
player/seek.rs, where they belong and are testable without the Tauri State
harness. commands/player.rs now imports them from crate::player. No behavior
change.
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.
