The version lived in four files — package.json, tauri.conf.json, Cargo.toml and
Cargo.lock — that had to be hand-edited in lockstep, and the release workflow
rewrote exactly one of them. A tagged build therefore produced an installer
named for the tag wrapped around package metadata naming the previous release,
and the Linux job, which had no version step at all, shipped whatever happened
to be committed.
scripts/set-version.sh now writes all four from one argument and is the only
thing that does. Every release job calls it with the tag, including the Linux
job that was missing one. The committed versions become a placeholder for dev
builds rather than something to maintain by hand.
The Android versionCode moves into the same script, unchanged in formula
(1000 + major*10000 + minor*100 + patch). It stays inline-documented because the
reasoning is not obvious: builds already in the field shipped code 1000, and
Android refuses an update whose code is lower than the installed one, so a
formula that can emit a smaller number for a newer release bricks updates
irreversibly. UT-150 asserts that property directly — monotonic across an
upgrade sequence, and always above the floor.
Two edge cases the previous inline version got wrong:
- A prerelease tag (v0.6.0-rc1) made $(( 0-rc1 )) abort the step under set -e.
The suffix is stripped before the arithmetic; the manifests keep it.
- CI passes "${GITHUB_REF#refs/tags/}" unconditionally, which on a branch build
is still a full ref. That reached the validator verbatim and would have failed
every untagged Android build; a non-tag ref now falls back to git describe.

Advertising a webview-shaped profile (DR-148) was necessary but not
sufficient. Probing the server directly showed Jellyfin 10.11.5 enforces a
DirectPlayProfile's Container and VideoCodec — excluding either returns
SupportsDirectPlay:false with TranscodeReasons=ContainerNotSupported /
VideoCodecNotSupported — but ignores its AudioCodec entirely: an E-AC-3
track is still offered for direct play against a profile listing only
aac,flac,mp3,opus,vorbis. Neither a VideoAudio CodecProfile forbidding the
codec nor MaxAudioChannels:2 against a 6-channel track changes the answer,
so no profile the client can send fixes this and the picture plays silent.
The client therefore stops delegating a question it can answer itself. The
negotiated source's audio is checked against what the webview decodes, and
an undecodable track forces the existing h264/aac HLS transcode regardless
of the server calling direct play fine; direct_play and needs_transcoding
are corrected to match so the frontend and the reporting path agree with
the URL actually used. The track judged is the one that would be served —
the default, else the first — since a supported track further down is not
the one that plays. A source with no audio, or a codec the server did not
name, is left alone rather than transcoded on a guess.
Test-first: the new tests failed against the old behaviour before the
decision existed. Verified on a motorola edge 30 by the audio HAL, not by
ear — the same E-AC-3 episode logged isMusicActive=true once and 58
ACDB-LOADER lines under this build, against 0 and 0 on 0.4.6, where an AAC
file in the same session produced 16 and 116. No FATAL EXCEPTION, so R8 on
the signed release build is unaffected.
Also carries in-flight subtitle-track work authored in a parallel session
(subtitleTracks, VideoPlayer, player/media, bindings) at the user's
request, so the tag matches the APK verified on device.
The audio codec list sent to Jellyfin comes from MediaCodecList, which
describes ExoPlayer — but video does not play through ExoPlayer. Android
force-renders every video in the webview <video> element (the interim
override in VideoPlayer.svelte) and Linux always has, and Chromium/WebKit
decode a far narrower set than the platform does.
A motorola edge 30 ships /vendor/etc/media_codecs_dolby_audio.xml, so it
reported ac3,eac3; the server direct-played an E-AC-3 track with
static=true and the webview built a video decoder and no audio decoder at
all — full picture, no sound. The defect is triggered by capability rather
than the lack of it, which is why a Fairphone and an Honor tablet play the
same file on the same build: without the Dolby decoder they never claim the
codec, so the server transcodes to AAC. Confirmed by A/B on the failing
device — hevc+eac3 silent, hevc+aac audible, same session, same profile,
same direct-play path, audio codec the only variable.
video_audio_codecs narrows the platform list to the webview-decodable set
for the video direct-play profile only. Audio-only playback really is the
native player's, so that profile keeps the full list rather than
transcoding music that plays perfectly well. A list with nothing decodable
still claims aac, since a profile claiming nothing invites the server to
give up instead of transcoding. The video codec list is deliberately
untouched: HEVC direct-plays through the webview correctly, so the
constraint is specific to audio.
Test-first: the tests failed against the old behaviour before the filter
existed, including the case built from the phone's real codec list. The
requirement-count assertion in extract-traces.test.ts moves 280 -> 281 for
the added DR, which is the deliberate edit that test exists to force.
Not yet verified on device — the 0.4.7 APK was still building.
Minor bump rather than patch: Android gains working equalizer, volume
normalization and gapless playback, which are new user-facing capabilities.
CHANGELOG entry written by hand rather than from `bun run release:notes`. The
generated draft lists "Crossfade between audio tracks (UR-031)" as a feature of
this release, which is false — the trace graph cannot distinguish code that
plumbs a setting (settings.rs clamping, the backend.rs trait method, both
legitimately tagged DR-034) from code that implements it, and crossfade is
implemented nowhere. The release-notes tool documents its output as a reviewed
draft; this is a concrete case of why.
v0.1.3-v0.1.5 have no CHANGELOG entries; noted in the file rather than
backfilled.
