  JellyTau v0.13.0 Stable

  dtourolle released this 2026-09-23 02:24:26 +00:00 | 0 commits to master since this release

  Android plays and downloads the original file, and offline mode works without
  a network. Found on a tablet with no Dolby decoder, where nearly every film was
  being transcoded by the server — slowly, and unresumably — just for its audio.

  ✨ Features

  • Dolby and DTS audio play on every Android device. Android ships no AC-3,
    E-AC-3, DTS or TrueHD decoders — they exist only where a manufacturer paid for
    them. The player now decodes them itself (FFmpeg), so these films stream and
    download as the original file instead of a server transcode: direct play when
    streaming, and a download that runs at full speed, shows a real percentage,
    and resumes after a dropped connection. Measured: a 910 MB E-AC-3 5.1 episode
    in 94 seconds, where a transcode managed about 1 MB/s. (DR-293)

  🐛 Fixes

  • Downloaded films play offline. Playing a download asked the server for
    details it did not need, so with no network it waited seven seconds, failed,
    and never opened the file on disk. It now answers from the download itself.
    (DR-294)
  • "Failed to load item" offline. Opening a downloaded show's details could
    fail while the app was writing to its database (the catalog sync at every
    launch, a download finishing): the cached answer was thrown away for being
    slow, and the server — unreachable — was reported instead. The library list,
    genres, playlists, search and favourites had the same flaw. They now wait for
    the cache. (DR-294)
  • The TV page no longer blanks offline. Its "Next Up" row was server-only,
    and its failure took the whole page with it. It now falls back to the cache.
    (DR-294)

  🔧 Changes

  • Native video is no longer optional on Android. The built-in web player
    cannot decode Dolby or DTS audio, so with original files downloaded it would
    play them silent. The "Native Video" switch is gone from Android settings (it
    remains on Linux, beside mpv native video).
  • Licence. The Android app now bundles a GPL-3.0 component (the FFmpeg audio
    decoder), so the distributed APK carries GPL-3.0 terms; JellyTau's source stays
    MIT. See THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md.
