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
A recoverable player error meant "playback is over": the frontend's error
handler stopped the player unconditionally, so a wifi blip killed the
track. Android already decides in its JNI callback, but MpvBackend is
constructed before PlayerController exists, so its event thread has no
controller to ask.
So MPV reports the failure and the frontend echoes it into the new
player_recover_stream command — the same shape as PlaybackEnded ->
player_on_playback_ended, keeping the decision in Rust. The command
re-opens the stream where it stopped, with the existing attempt budget
and backoff, and returns whether it handled it; only a false answer
falls through to the old stop path.
Android now reports the errors it has already declined as
*unrecoverable*, so the echo never asks the same question twice.
TRACES: UR-004, UR-040 | DR-130 | UT-117
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 played audio-only while the app was backgrounded stalled at the
episode boundary instead of advancing, and ExoPlayer parked in STATE_ENDED —
where any later play intent (lockscreen, headset, Bluetooth reconnect) replays
the ended item, surfacing as the episode randomly restarting.
End-of-playback is dispatched from two places and they disagreed. The Android
JNI callback carried the background-audio branch but can never reach it:
load_and_play sets EndReason::NewTrackLoaded at every load and nothing clears
it, so the first real end consumes it and the decision is always Stop. The call
that actually decides is the frontend's echo of the resulting PlaybackEnded into
player_on_playback_ended — and that path had no background-audio case at all, so
it started a countdown whose advance is a webview goto() that cannot start audio
while backgrounded.
Both dispatchers now share PlayerController::auto_advance_to_next_episode, so
they cannot drift apart again.
The handoff base offset moves from the BackgroundAudioOffset Tauri state onto
the controller, and the advance clears it: the next episode's stream is built
without StartTimeTicks, so its timeline is already absolute and a stale base
made player_exit_background_audio return old_base + position_in_new_episode.
Unreachable until the advance actually worked.
Tests (red before the fix):
- test_auto_advance_background_audio_episode_advances_in_backend
- test_auto_advance_foreground_video_episode_uses_countdown
- test_advance_to_next_episode_audio_only_clears_handoff_base
Bump to 0.2.9.
Stage 1 of scoped-search-boundary-implementation.md — the query side.
scoped-search-boundary.md diagnosed this leak, specified the fix in
detail, and became the justification for the boundary rule in CLAUDE.md,
the check:boundary tripwire, and the spec-review checklist. The fix was
never built: SCOPE_ITEM_TYPES was still live in searchScope.ts, called by
library.ts, and no SearchScope existed anywhere in src-tauri/. The rule's
own founding violation was still shipping.
Rust now owns the taxonomy:
pub enum SearchScope { All, Music, Movies, Tv }
impl SearchScope { pub fn item_types(self) -> Option<Vec<String>> }
- SearchOptions gains `scope`, resolved by resolve_scope(). Scope wins
over include_item_types, which stays for the non-search get_items
callers that legitimately request one concrete type.
- repository_search resolves the scope ONCE, before the cache/server
paths diverge, so online and offline filter identically — the failure
mode most likely to go unnoticed.
- All expands to None (no filter), not the union of the other scopes:
an explicit includeItemTypes list would silently drop People, folders,
and any type nobody enumerated.
- searchScope.ts re-exports SearchScope from generated bindings instead
of a hand-written union, and no longer names an item type for search.
- library.ts sends { scope }.
8 Rust tests written first, confirmed failing on "use of undeclared type
SearchScope" before the implementation existed.
The frontend tests that asserted includeItemTypes contents were rewritten
to assert the opaque scope is sent and includeItemTypes is absent —
keeping the old assertions would require the frontend to know the
taxonomy again, defeating the fix. The expansion is now asserted in Rust.
Verified the spec's headline criterion by hashing every src/ file, adding
"AudioBook" to the Music scope in Rust, and re-hashing: zero frontend
files change. That criterion failed before this commit.
Stage 2 (result-side grouping: GROUP_ITEM_TYPES, GroupedSearchResult on
both search payloads) remains open.
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.
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.

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.
