dtourolle 83dc8c7028 feat(playback): let Rust decide what stream to play, and say so
Playing a video meant asking the server to re-encode it, always. That
decision was made nowhere and written down nowhere, so whoever needed it
re-derived it downstream — the player worked out whether it had been handed
a playlist by looking for ".m3u8" in the URL, in two places. A viewer paid
for a transcode of a file their device could have played untouched, and the
app could not tell them which it was.

One negotiation now produces one self-describing StreamSelection — direct
play, remux or transcode; over a playlist, a plain HTTP file, or a local one
— and every renderer consumes that same answer.

Measured against the development server (Jellyfin 10.11.5), 400 items
sampled for codec mix and 40 put through a real PlaybackInfo negotiation
per profile:

  Linux / WebKitGTK (h264 only, 2ch)          3/40 —  7% direct play
  Android / ExoPlayer (hevc, ac3/eac3, 6ch)  34/40 — 85% direct play

The library is ~80% hevc, which is why the two diverge so hard. The payoff
is overwhelmingly Android, where 85% of plays were starting a transcode
nobody needed. Linux stays near 7% until libmpv decodes the picture — the
h264-only profile is a WebKitGTK constraint, not a JellyTau choice.

DR-219  StreamSelection: url + tagged Transport (hls/progressive/localFile)
        + PlaybackKind (directPlay/directStream/transcode) + the negotiated
        rendition + this source's ladder + a needs_transcoding flag derived
        in Rust so the rule is answered once. Both enums are serde-tagged
        so the frontend matches a discriminant, not a substring. The paths
        that never negotiate get the same shape from Rust rather than
        assembling one — media_local_selection for a downloaded file,
        LiveStreamInfo.transport for a live channel — so there is no second
        place where a transport is decided.

DR-220  The ceiling becomes two levels: a durable device default (Settings,
        persisted) and a per-playback override the in-player picker sets.
        The picker had called itself a "this film, this connection" control
        since it was written but wrote the process-wide default, so dropping
        one awkward film to 2 Mbps silently capped every video played
        afterwards for the rest of the process, with Settings still showing
        the old value. The override is cleared whenever playback moves to a
        new item, which stops it surviving into an autoplayed next episode.
        effective_streaming_quality() is the single resolution point.

DR-221  The quality picker is filled from what this media source can offer.
        Rust marks a rung exceeds_source when its ceiling is at or above the
        source's own bitrate — such a rung is another way to spell Original
        — and the frontend does not draw those. Original is never marked; a
        source whose bitrate the server does not report marks nothing, which
        keeps every rung offered.

DR-222  Direct play and direct stream are negotiated, with two client-side
        overrides on top because the server's answer is right about the file
        and wrong about what this app will do with it: undecodable audio
        (Jellyfin 10.11.5 honours a DirectPlayProfile's container and video
        codec but ignores its audio codec, so it offers direct play for an
        E-AC-3 track the webview renders in silence) and a viewer-pinned
        audio track the file does not default to. A direct stream is a remux
        and is deliberately not counted as transcoding.

DR-223  Dropped on measurement, not deferred. A master playlist from this
        server carries exactly one EXT-X-STREAM-INF: Jellyfin builds it from
        the single rendition the request asked for rather than publishing a
        ladder. So there is no adaptation for hls.js to be preserving and
        none mpv would lose — the claim that there was, in
        playback-backend-unification.md, does not hold. Recorded rather than
        deleted because it is a measurement: a server that does publish a
        ladder would change the answer.

DR-224  Every backend consumes the same selection. The queue item carries
        the transport, so player_seek_video picks its seek strategy from the
        backend's decision instead of the last stream_url.contains(".m3u8")
        in the codebase. Items queued by a path that never negotiated carry
        None and fall back to needs_transcoding, which is exact rather than
        a guess because every transcode this app requests is HLS (DR-140).

The frontend loader decision moves to streamTransport.ts so it can be
tested: the two cases that pin it are the ones that failed against the old
implementation — a progressive stream whose URL contains ".m3u8" must not
get an HLS loader, and an HLS stream whose URL contains none must.

Also verified the URL the direct-play branch builds actually serves playable
bytes: 206, video/mp4, valid ISO-BMFF, and a mid-file range works, so
seeking a direct play works.

The spec is folded into docs/architecture/{01,02,03} and deleted, per the
rule that docs/specs holds only work that has not shipped. DR-121 leaves
read-through-media-cache.md with a pointer; that spec keeps its capture half.

Not verified: real playback on a device. Direct play changes what actually
gets played, and neither fixtures nor curl prove the WebKitGTK and ExoPlayer
paths render it.

UR-046 Group multiple remote players into a synchronized playback group (LMS SyncGroups) Low Done
UR-047 Manage multiple Jellyfin servers (add, list, remove) and switch the active server/account Medium Planned (backend store done; switcher UI pending)
UR-048 See the next episodes of a series directly below the episode/series being viewed, above cast and similar-shows content, so continuing a show is the shortest path (see ux-flows.md §5B) High Done
UR-049 Search is scoped by where it was started — inside a library it searches that library, from Home/library-root/search-tab it searches everything — with the scope shown as filter chips under the search bar that preselect from context and can be changed without retyping (see ux-flows.md §6.1) High Implemented
UR-050 Reorder search result groups (Songs, Albums, Artists, Movies, TV Shows) by drag and drop in settings, so the media a user cares about most appears first (see ux-flows.md §6.3) Medium Implemented
UR-051 Browse library pages in a consistent layout where card shape signals media type (square music, poster video, thumbnail episode), ordinal content stays listed, and the grid/list preference persists across pages (see ux-flows.md §5A) Medium Partial (implemented; toggle not reachable from settings)
UR-052 While offline, library pages show only media available on the device by default, with an opt-in toggle that additionally reveals the cached server catalog as greyed-out entries which can be queued for download on the next reconnect High Done
UR-053 Restrict media downloads to unmetered networks via a "WiFi Only" setting: when enabled, queued downloads are held while the device is on cellular or a metered connection (including metered WiFi hotspots) and resume automatically once an unmetered network is available Medium Done (pending device verification)
UR-054 Reach account actions (Settings, Downloads, Display preferences, Sign out) from every authenticated screen via a single account menu anchored to the user's name, identical on desktop and mobile (see ux-flows.md §1.2) High Done
UR-055 Browse downloaded media as an offline-scoped library — reusing the same library grids, cards, and detail pages as online browsing, showing only libraries/containers with downloaded content — with the transfer-progress list demoted to a secondary "Transfers" view (see ux-flows.md §7.2) High Done
UR-056 See how much disk each downloaded item/album/series consumes, in familiar rounded units shown on the card and detail page, with a device total on the Downloaded surface and a reclaim amount stated at the point of removal (see ux-flows.md §7.3.1) Medium Done
UR-057 Settings apply the instant a control is changed — no "Save" button and no save/dirty state — so leaving the page never loses a change; sliders show a live readout while dragging but persist on release (see ux-flows.md §8.1) Medium Done
UR-058 On the home screen, a tap on a media card opens the item (movie/episode detail page, or the series Episode Focus View for episodes) rather than starting playback; a long-press starts "play now" after a confirm; an episode detail/focus page links back to its parent series and season (see ux-flows.md §5B.5 and §5B.1) Medium Done
UR-059 Skipping to the next episode records the episode left behind as fully watched rather than saving a mid-episode resume point — skipping means "done with this one", not "stopped here" — and Continue Watching hides episodes the viewer has already moved past (a partial position behind that series' next-up episode), so the row only ever offers genuinely unfinished media Medium Done
UR-060 Search results are ordered by how well they match: a name that starts with the query outranks one matching mid-word (typing "parks" finds "Parks and Recreation" before "Sparks of Love"), and at equal match quality a container outranks its contents (a series before its episodes). Results are grouped into distinct categories — TV Shows, Episodes, Movies, Songs, Albums, Artists and People — so a show never competes with its own episodes for the same slot, and searching an actor's name reaches their bio High Done
UR-061 Double tapping the video skips within it — right half jumps forward 30 seconds, left half jumps back 10 seconds — with an on-screen indicator naming the amount. A double tap leaves the play state unchanged — playing jumps and keeps playing, paused jumps and stays paused — because the second tap re-toggles what the first tap toggled (see DR-098); the skip lands relative to the position the player actually reports, and repeated double taps accumulate rather than all skipping from the same spot Medium Done
UR-062 Opening a TV series lands the viewer where they are in it, not at season 1: the series page scrolls the current season into view and highlights the current episode, and the hero button opens that episode (labelled Resume S2E4 / Play S1E1). "Current" means the episode in progress, else the server's Next Up for that series, else the first unwatched episode, else the first — resolved by the backend so it also works offline. A season is never a page of its own: every route that names a season lands on the series with that season in view, so the episodes of all seasons are always one continuous scrollable list High Done
UR-063 Each video library is one page, not three. Browsing (hero, Continue Watching, Next Up, Recently Added, genre rows), the full title grid, and the genre browser are tabs of /library/tv and /library/movies rather than separate routes with inconsistent names (/library/tv/shows vs /library/movies/all, /library/shows/genres vs /library/movies/genres). The old routes redirect so existing links keep working Medium Done
UR-064 Watch history can be erased, per series and per season, from the series page. Clearing marks every episode inside unwatched and clears resume positions, so the show returns to "never watched" and reopens on its premiere. It asks for confirmation first (it cannot be undone) and requires a connection to the server, since history cleared only locally would be undone by the next sync Medium Done
UR-065 Search answers from a locally indexed copy of the library, so results appear as fast as the device can query rather than at the speed of a round trip to the server, and the same results are found with the server unreachable. A background job keeps the index current — refreshing on a schedule rather than only at app start, dropping media removed from the server, and covering everything the result groups can show (including artists and people). The server is still queried in the background so media added since the last index still turns up, merged in without reordering what is already on screen High Implemented
UR-066 The app's own chrome stays clear of the device's system chrome. On Android the bottom navigation sits above the navigation/gesture bar instead of underneath it, the header clears the status bar, and full-screen video and audio playback keep their controls inside the usable screen — clear of the gesture bar and, in landscape, of the display notch. This must hold across navigation modes (gesture and 3-button) and rotation, not only on the handsets it happened to be tested on High Done
UR-067 Favourited media can be found again. A Favourites page lists everything favourited across all libraries, scoped by tabs (All / Movies / Shows / Music); the home screen carries favourite rows for movies, shows and music, hidden when a category is empty; and each library page can be filtered to favourites in place. Without this the like button writes to a store nothing reads Medium Done
UR-068 Anything the app shows can be favourited where it is shown — from a movie, series, episode, album, artist or playlist page, and from any card in a grid or carousel — not only from the player while the item happens to be playing Medium Done
UR-069 Favourite state agrees with the server in both directions. An item favourited in another Jellyfin client shows as favourited here without being touched, and an item favourited here while the server is unreachable reaches the server once it returns — without the user going back to the screen where they marked it Medium Done
UR-070 Playback quality is the viewer's choice: the player offers the bitrates the server can produce for what is playing, and changing one resumes at the same point with the same audio and subtitle tracks. Because the chosen rendition can change at any moment, nothing that streams for playback is treated as a stored copy unless it happens to be byte-identical to the real file Medium Proposed
UR-071 Media the viewer is watching can be kept, by a whole-file download that runs in the background independently of playback and at its own quality, so it is unaffected by bitrate changes. Where the streamed bytes already are that file (direct play), they are kept rather than fetched twice. A completed download is then played from disk rather than streamed again Medium Proposed
UR-073 Watched state is something the viewer can set, not only something playback records. Any episode, season, series or movie can be marked watched — or unwatched again — from where it is shown, without sitting through it or erasing its history wholesale. Marking a season or series covers the episodes inside it, and works with the server unreachable Medium Done
UR-072 Each page opens where a page should open. Moving to a new screen starts at the top of it, and going Back returns the viewer to the place they left — their position in a long library grid or home screen, not the top of it. A page never inherits the scroll position of the page before it Medium Done
UR-075 Artwork is shown at the shape it was made in. Where a screen presents a set of things side by side — the libraries on the library page and on home — they are laid out as a mosaic: rows of a common height in which each tile is as wide as its own picture, rather than a grid that crops every cover to one box. Favourites are reachable per category from that same mosaic, beside the library they belong to, not only as one undifferentiated list Medium Done
UR-076 Music browsing shows only what the listener considers music. A Jellyfin server commonly keeps podcasts, audiobooks, sound effects or sample packs in their own folders inside a music library; those folders can be excluded by choice, once, and every music surface — library grids, artist and album listings, genre rows, search and the home screen — then agrees on what is in scope. The choice is by folder, not by a name the app happens to recognise, so a folder called anything at all can be excluded and an item is never dropped because its title matched a word Medium Done
UR-077 The app can update itself, or tell the user how. Somebody who installed an AppImage or ran the Windows installer had no upgrade path at all: nothing in the app ever mentioned that a newer version existed, and the release notes were the only announcement. On Linux and Windows the app checks a signed manifest, offers the new version with its notes, and installs and relaunches on request — the signature check is the point, since it is what stops a substituted download from being installed by the app itself. Android cannot do this (an app may not overwrite its own APK; that is the package installer's job) and is given the honest alternative, a link to the releases page, rather than a button that would throw Medium Done
UR-078 JellyTau keeps a record of what it did, and can hand it over. The app forgot everything the moment it exited: the backend logged to stdout only — which a user launching from a desktop icon never sees, and which on Android is not logcat, so the Rust half was invisible on the platform carrying the hardest bugs. A crash left nothing at all. Logs are now written to a size-capped rotating file, a panic is recorded before the process dies, the frontend's messages land in the same timeline as the backend's, and Settings exports the lot as one file to attach to a bug report. Nothing is transmitted anywhere — the user attaches it themselves, which is also what keeps this from being telemetry. Access tokens and passwords never reach the file Medium Done
UR-079 The app decides what stream to play and says so. Playing a video used to mean asking the server to re-encode it, always — a decision made nowhere, written down nowhere, and re-derived downstream by whoever needed it: the player worked out whether it had been handed a playlist by looking for .m3u8 in the URL. So a viewer paid for a transcode of a file their device could have played untouched, and the app could not tell them which it was. Now one negotiation produces one self-describing answer — direct play, remux, or transcode; over a playlist, a plain HTTP file, or a local one — and every renderer consumes that same answer instead of guessing from a string. On Android, where the player decodes almost everything the library holds, this stops around 85% of plays from starting a transcode nobody needed Medium Done
UR-074 Video streaming can be held to a bandwidth budget the viewer sets, rather than spent at whatever rate the server would otherwise send. A ceiling chosen once — from the source's own bitrate down to a rung that still plays on a poor connection — governs every video the app opens, live TV included, and survives a restart, so a metered connection is not quietly drained by the next thing played. A single video can be moved to a different ceiling from the player, resuming where it was, without disturbing that default Medium Done

IR-005 MPRIS D-Bus integration for Linux lockscreen/media controls Platform UR-006 Planned — genuinely absent: no mpris/souvlaki/zbus/dbus code or dependency in the project (zbus appears in Cargo.lock only transitively, via tauri-plugin-opener), and no navigator.mediaSession use in the frontend. player::update_lockscreen_metadata is a no-op off Android.

IR-017 Jellyfin API client for transcoding parameters API UR-022 Planned
IR-018 Subtitle rendering and selection in the video playback backends: ExoPlayer sideloads each track as a MediaItem.SubtitleConfiguration and selects by text-track-group position (Android), and the WebKitGTK HTML5 <video> element renders <track kind="subtitles"> children carrying data-stream-index (Linux). Originally scoped to libmpv, which never implemented it: MpvBackend is the audio-only backend here and does not override PlayerBackend::set_subtitle_track, so the default not_implemented() still stands there. UR-020 is satisfied by the two paths above rather than by MPV Playback UR-020 Done
IR-019 Audio track selection in the video playback backends: ExoPlayer switches track by index natively (Android), while the HTML5 <video> path cannot switch a track in the element and instead re-opens the stream at the chosen AudioStreamIndex and resumes at the same position (Linux) — the two outcomes AudioTrackSwitchResponse distinguishes. Originally scoped to libmpv, which never implemented it: MpvBackend does not override PlayerBackend::set_audio_track, so the default not_implemented() still stands there. UR-021 is satisfied by the two paths above rather than by MPV Playback UR-021 Done

IR-026 Android picture-in-picture: auto-enter on user-leave-hint via enterPictureInPictureMode, only while a local video surface is actively rendering (never for audio-only playback, menu/library browsing, or remote/cast sessions — enforced by the native canEnterPip guard, re-checked at leave time); aspect-ratio sizing; a play/pause RemoteAction that reflects live player play/pause state (updated whenever playback state changes, not only on button press); WebView hide/restore on mode change Platform UR-041 Done
IR-027 Jellyfin /System/Info/Public reachability probe used as an offline→online recovery detector API UR-043 Done
IR-028 Jellyfin/LMS SyncGroups API client (list, create, join, unsync, dissolve sync groups) API UR-046 Done
IR-029 Android ConnectivityManager/NetworkCapabilities transport probe with a NetworkCallback change subscription, surfaced to the frontend via the AndroidNetworkType JS bridge and the jellytau-network-changed WebView event (requires ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE) Platform UR-053 Done (pending device verification)
IR-030 Scheduled full-catalog crawl of every library (Recursive=true, paged) feeding the local index, driven by a Rust background task and the ConnectivityMonitor reconnect signal rather than by the frontend Storage UR-065 Implemented
IR-031 Android WindowInsets bridge: an OnApplyWindowInsetsListener on the decor view reports `systemBars() displayCutout()in CSS pixels, pushed into the WebView asjt-insetCSS custom properties plus ajellytau-insets-changedevent, and pullable via theAndroidInsets` JS bridge Platform UR-066
IR-032 Whole-file background download of the item being played, reusing the existing resumable download worker and the Range-capable /Videos/{id}/stream.mp4 endpoint; plus per-platform read-through caching hooks (ExoPlayer CacheDataSource, mpv stream-record) for direct-play sessions only Storage UR-071 Proposed

Where a UR is met by a different mechanism than its IR anticipated. Several integration requirements were written when libmpv was expected to be the single playback backend. It is not: MpvBackend is the audio-only backend, Linux plays video through a WebKitGTK HTML5 <video> element (HLS/h264), and Android plays through ExoPlayer. So:

  • UR-020 / UR-021 (subtitle and audio track selection) are Done, but not by MPV — MpvBackend overrides neither PlayerBackend::set_subtitle_track nor set_audio_track, leaving the trait's not_implemented() default. IR-018 and IR-019 have been re-scoped to the backends that actually deliver them (ExoPlayer sideloaded SubtitleConfigurations and native track switching; HTML5 <track> children and stream re-open at the chosen AudioStreamIndex) and marked Done on that basis. IT-008 / IT-009 were re-worded to match.
  • UR-006 (lockscreen / BLE headset control) is Done on Android only, via MediaSessionCompat (IR-006) and ExoPlayer/AudioManager focus (IR-008). IR-005 (MPRIS) remains Planned because it genuinely does not exist — there is no MPRIS/D-Bus code or dependency in the project, and player::update_lockscreen_metadata is a no-op off Android. UR-006's status was corrected rather than IR-005's.

DR-051 Background-audio toggle button in the video player controls (suppresses auto-PiP while enabled) UI UR-040 Done (pending device verification)
DR-052 Background-audio handoff state machine: on background/lock tear down the WebView <video>/HLS decode and start native audio-only playback at the current position; on foreground return position and resume <video>; exactly one audio source active at every transition (no dual audio) Player UR-040 Done (pending device verification)
DR-053 PictureInPictureManager: canEnterPip gate (local video surface actively rendering — false for audio, browsing, and remote/cast), aspect-ratio clamp, a RemoteAction play/pause receiver whose icon reflects live player state (refreshed on every playback-state change while in PiP, not only on button press), WebView hide/restore, surface re-fit on exit; plus the AndroidPictureInPicture JS bridge and the PiP button (shown only when PiP is supported) in the video player UI UR-041 Done

DR-058 Remote sync-group control (LMS SyncGroups): list, create, unsync a player, dissolve a group Player UR-046 Done
DR-059 Playback-mode transfer state machine: get/set current mode, transferring guard, transfer-to-remote / transfer-to-local, remote session status Player UR-010 Done
DR-060 Multi-server store and active-account selection: save/get/delete server, save/get user, set/get active user (per-server), active-session resolution Storage UR-047 Partial (store done; server-switcher UI pending)
DR-061 Episode Focus View: episode hero followed immediately by the "More Episodes" strip — a forward-biased window (~3 before / ~6 after) around the current episode, spanning season boundaries in series order, with the current episode present and badged, per-card resume progress and watched state, and click-to-swap focus (no playback) UI UR-048 Done
DR-062 Detail-page section ordering: continuation content precedes discovery content — Episode Focus View renders hero → episode strip → cast → similar; Series renders hero → seasons/episodes → cast → similar UI UR-048 Done
DR-063 Search scope taxonomy owned by Rust: SearchScope (All / Music / Movies / TV) crosses IPC as an opaque enum and SearchScope::item_types() expands it to Jellyfin item types, resolved once in repository_search before the cache and server paths diverge so online and offline filter identically; All expands to no filter rather than the union of the other scopes (which would drop People and folders). The frontend maps the originating route to a scope (resolveSearchScope, presentation) and never names an item type for search Backend UR-049 Implemented
DR-064 Scope chip row rendered under the search bar on both the search page and the in-library header search: preselected from context, horizontally scrollable, re-runs the search preserving the query on change UI UR-049 Implemented
DR-065 Thread SearchOptions.includeItemTypes through library.search() so the global/header search honours scope (backend online + offline paths already support it) UI UR-049 Implemented
DR-066 Persisted search result group order with a drag-and-drop settings list, keyboard-accessible reordering, a shipped default (see DR-091 for the current group set and order), and empty-group omission Settings UR-050 Implemented
DR-067 SearchResults renders groups in the user-configured order rather than hardcoded markup order, without altering intra-group ranking UI UR-050 Implemented
DR-068 Library card shape by media type: 1:1 square for music (circular mask for artists), 2:3 poster for movies/series/seasons, 16:9 for episodes and collection folders UI UR-051 Done
DR-069 Responsive library grid (2/3/4/5/6 columns across base→xl) with two-line truncated card text and artwork-overlay progress/watched state UI UR-051 Done
DR-070 Global persisted grid/list view preference honoured by browse pages, suppressed for ordinal content (album tracks, season episodes) UI UR-051, UR-029 Partial (persisted store + page-header toggle; no settings entry)
DR-075 Shared AccountMenu component: identity header (user + server), Downloads / Settings / Display entries, divider, Sign out last; anchored to the username/avatar trigger and identical on desktop and mobile UI UR-054 Done
DR-076 App shell exposes the header (and therefore the account menu) on every authenticated non-immersive route, including /, /search, and /downloads; only /player/* and /login remain chrome-free UI UR-054 Done
DR-077 Display section in Settings binding the existing persisted grid/list viewMode store, giving the preference a discoverable home Settings UR-054, UR-029 Done
DR-078 Catalog-visibility gate spanning the "Show all server media" toggle → set_show_server_catalogINCLUDE_CATALOG_BROWSE → the synced-catalog UNION branch of offline get_items. Visibility resolves to serverReachable || showServerCatalog, so offline with the toggle off lists downloaded/local media only Storage UR-052, UR-002 Done
DR-079 isConnected derives from backend-reported server reachability alone; navigator.onLine is advisory and may only trigger a recheck, never force or clear the offline state (a reachable LAN server while the browser reports offline, and an unreachable server on a live link, must both resolve correctly) Connectivity UR-052, UR-043 Done
DR-080 With the catalog-browse gate off, an empty offline get_items result is authoritative "no downloads here" and must be returned as-is; the hybrid repository must not treat it as a cache miss and fall through to the server Storage UR-052, UR-013 Done
DR-074 WiFi-only download gate: NetworkState/NetworkType transport model reported from the platform via set_network_state, checked in pump_download_queue before starting any pending row (cellular/metered/unknown fail closed, WiFi and Ethernet require NOT_METERED); blocked rows stay pending and re-pump on network change, with a waitingForNetwork event driving the "Waiting for WiFi" notice. Also wires the previously inert Smart Caching / Queue Pre-caching / WiFi Only settings toggles to CacheConfig Downloads UR-053 Done (pending device verification)
DR-081 /downloads split into a default Downloaded browse view and a secondary Transfers activity view, with a view switch and a Transfers badge shown only while transfers are active UI UR-055 Done
DR-082 Offline-scoped browse entry point in the repository client: browse downloaded content only (offline repository get_items/get_libraries — downloaded items plus their containers) independent of server reachability, without merging server catalog Storage UR-055 Done
DR-083 Downloaded browse reuses library grids, cards, and detail pages via the offline-scoped source; omits libraries/containers with no downloaded content; badges partially- vs fully-downloaded containers; play uses the local file; remove available at item/album/season/series level UI UR-055 Done
DR-084 Transfers view renders only in-flight rows (downloading/queued/paused/failed/waiting-for-WiFi) with Pause/Resume/Cancel/Retry; completed transfers leave the view and appear in Downloaded UI UR-055 Done
DR-085 Per-item on-disk size: stat downloaded files, aggregate to album/season/series subtotals and a device total, format in consistent rounded human units; surface size on cards and detail pages, the device total on the Downloaded surface, and a reclaim figure in the remove confirmation Downloads UR-056 Done
DR-086 Settings page persists each control on change via per-group writers (playerSetAudioSettings / playerSetVideoSettings / updateCacheConfig) rather than a batch Save action; slider controls persist on change (pointer release) not each input tick; no Save button, saving, or saveMessage state Settings UR-057 Done
DR-087 MediaCard gains an onLongPress prop with pointer-based long-press detection (~500 ms hold, cancelled on >10 px move so carousel scroll is unaffected, trailing click suppressed); home carousels wire tap→detail/focus routing and long-press→confirm→player; episode taps route to /library/<seriesId>?episode=<id>; the bare-episode detail page links to its parent series/season UI UR-058 Done
DR-088 Skip-to-next-episode marks the outgoing episode played (markAsPlayed) instead of reporting a stop position, and arms a one-shot suppression consumed by the player's stop handler so VideoPlayer's post-navigation unmount stop report cannot overwrite the 100% progress with the partial position UI UR-059 Done
DR-089 Continue Watching suppresses resume entries superseded by Next Up: an in-progress episode whose series has a next-up entry strictly later in series order (season, then episode) is dropped from the Home and TV rows; movies, series without a next-up entry, and items with unknown/mixed episode ordering are always kept UI UR-059 Done
DR-090 Relevance ranking in Rust (domain/search_rank.rs): results sort by match position (prefix → word-start → mid-word substring → no name match) then by media kind (containers before their contents), stably so the backend's own relevance breaks ties. Applied in repository_search to both the instant cache result and the merged cache+server union, so the list does not reshuffle when server results land Backend UR-060 Done
DR-091 Search result groups split TV into separate Shows and Episodes groups and add a People group (default order: Shows → Episodes → Movies → Songs → Albums → Artists → People); a stored tvShows order from before the split expands in place to shows+episodes so an upgrading user keeps their arrangement UI UR-060 Done
DR-092 Video tap gestures resolve in tapGestures.ts (pure, unit-tested) rather than inline in VideoPlayer.svelte: registerTap classifies each tap and the component acts on it immediately — togglePlayPause for a first tap, or seek (+30 s right / 10 s left) plus a re-toggle for a second tap inside DOUBLE_TAP_WINDOW_MS (300 ms). A consumed pair resets the state, and a swipe forgets the tap. The deferral this originally used was removed in DR-098, which also covers suppressing the compatibility click the browser synthesizes after a touch tap. resolveSeekTarget converts the delta to the absolute position the facade requires, clamped per DR-095 and chained off a still-in-flight pendingSeekTarget so back-to-back skips accumulate instead of all resolving against a not-yet-updated position UI UR-061 Done
DR-094 Frontend boundary tripwire (scripts/check-frontend-boundary.sh) detects Jellyfin item-type array literals anywhere in src/ rather than only inline at an includeItemTypes: query site, so a category→type mapping cannot evade the check by being assigned to a named const (the evasion that let the scoped-search leak pass CI); requires two adjacent type literals so single-type presentation and item.type === inspection stay legal, and caps the allowlist to force taxonomy into Rust instead of accumulating exceptions Tooling - Done
DR-098 Video tap gestures act immediately — no deferral, no timer, and only first/second taps exist. A first tap toggles play/pause; a second tap inside DOUBLE_TAP_WINDOW_MS seeks and toggles again, so the two toggles cancel and a double tap preserves the play state (playing → jump and keep playing; paused → jump and stay paused). This replaces a design that deferred the first tap behind a 300 ms timer so a second tap could cancel it: the timer cleared its own handle before invoking the toggle, which reopened the tapTimeout !== null guard in handleVideoClick meant to suppress the compatibility click Android's WebView synthesizes after a touch — the late click then toggled a second time, producing a pause/unpause loop (long-press was unaffected, which is what identified the tap path). Click suppression no longer depends on the timer: handleVideoClick ignores detail === 0 and any click within TOUCH_CLICK_SUPPRESS_MS of a touch tap. A swipe undoes the touchstart toggle exactly once (latched on swipeGestureActive) so brightness swipes never change play state. Click suppression is shared by every click target layered over the video via isSynthesizedTouchClick, not just the <video>: pausing renders a full-screen play-overlay button, so the synthesized click lands on that and an unguarded handler there resumed immediately — pausing appeared impossible while unpausing worked, because unpausing removes the overlay UI UR-061 Done
DR-099 The video seek bar is usable by touch. Two Android-only defects made dragging or tapping it move the thumb without moving playback. (a) Gesture hijack: the container-level gesture layer skips touchstart on a control (DR-098) but kept handling touchmove, so a seek-bar drag was measured against the previous gesture's start point — a huge bogus vertical delta that read as a brightness swipe, dimmed the screen to the 0.3 floor, and fired a spurious play/pause "correction" mid-drag. A gesture is now latched at touchstart (playerGestureActive) and touchmove ignores anything not latched, since re-checking the move target cannot recover a start point that was never recorded. (b) Commit signal: the seek was committed only from change, which Android's WebView does not reliably fire for a touch interaction on a range input — the thumb moved to the tapped position and no seek ever ran. touchend/mouseup now commit as well; input arms a one-shot latch so whichever release signal arrives first commits and the other is a no-op. seekRelative shares the same commitSeek entry point instead of fabricating a synthetic change event UI UR-005, UR-061 Done
DR-097 Transport authority (play/pause/toggle) lives in Rust for webview-rendered media, not just native. The controller tracks the state the HTML5 element reports (html5_playing, fed by report_html5_state, which now stores rather than only re-emitting); play/pause/toggle_playback consult it and drive the element by emitting a ControlCommand that playerEvents.handleControlCommand executes against the active adapter. A stopped/idle report clears it so the native backend (MPV/ExoPlayer) regains authority for music. The frontend facade no longer short-circuits transport into the adapter: adapter.toggle() previously decided play-vs-pause by reading el.paused off the DOM, a value that flips transiently while an element buffers or settles a seek — so two intents ~150 ms apart read different values, performed opposing actions, and self-sustained a play/pause loop needing no further input (observed on Android with a fully-buffered readyState=4 networkState=1 element). Same "backend decides, adapter executes the primitive" split as player_seek_video Player UR-005 Done
DR-096 Html5PlayerAdapter.play() is resilient to stall recovery: an in-flight attempt is memoised so concurrent callers (UI plus hls.js gap-controller recovery) share one element.play() instead of stacking calls, and an AbortError ("play() request was interrupted by a call to pause()") is logged at debug rather than pushed to host.onError. The browser raises it whenever a pending play promise is superseded by a pause/seek/source change, which hls.js does routinely while nudging past a stall — reporting it surfaced a player error roughly once per second for the whole stall and left the UI stuck showing paused Player UR-005 Done
DR-095 Seek targets clamp strictly inside the media (clampSeekTarget, END_SEEK_MARGIN_SECONDS = 6 s ≈ one HLS segment) instead of to the exact duration. Landing on the duration makes hls.js request the segment whose start time lies past the end of the media (e.g. a 6330.324 s item → segment 1055 starting at 6336.33 s), which Jellyfin never produces; the fetch times out and hls.js' gap-controller stalls at the last buffered position, presenting as "unpausing or skipping bounces straight back to paused". Applied on both seek paths — the relative-skip resolveSeekTarget and the seek-bar drag, whose range input max is the duration itself — and floored at 0 so media shorter than the margin still seeks to the start UI UR-061 Done
DR-100 Leaving a video and re-entering it renders the video player, never the audio one. Both halves of the /player/[id] decision are pure and unit-tested in playerSurface.ts. (a) shouldReuseActivePlayback excludes video: the "already playing, just show the UI" shortcut (added for expanding the audio mini player) returns before a stream URL is fetched, which is fine for audio — the backend owns the stream and the route only mirrors it — but leaves <VideoPlayer> with nothing to render. Closing a webview-rendered video deliberately emits no stopped state (that would break the autoplay handoff, see DR-047), so the Rust controller still reports that movie/episode as its loaded media and re-entering the same item hit the shortcut. (b) resolvePlayerSurface maps video-without-a-stream-URL to pending (spinner) instead of falling through to <AudioPlayer>, so no future path can put video content in the audio surface. Video now always takes the full load path, which fetches the stream URL and applies the stored resume position UI UR-005 Done
DR-101 "Where is this viewer in this series" is resolved in Rust, not the frontend. repository_get_series_episodes performs the season fan-out (get_items(series_id) → seasons → get_items(season_id), plus the flat-series fallback for shows whose children are episodes rather than season folders) and returns them in series order — season index ascending, episode index ascending, specials (season 0) after every numbered season. repository_get_series_current_episode layers the pure policy pick_current_episode over that list: an in-progress episode wins (earliest in series order on a tie — it is literally where playback stopped, and Next Up would skip past it), then the server's Next Up for that series, then the first unwatched episode, then the first. The third rung is the offline path, not dead code: OfflineRepository::get_next_up_episodes returns an empty vec, so without it the feature would be online-only. A failing Next Up or resume lookup degrades to empty rather than failing the call. repository_get_next_up_episodes had accepted a series_id since it was written and no caller had ever passed one Repository UR-062 Done
DR-102 The series detail page anchors on that answer. It calls repositoryGetSeriesEpisodes once instead of fanning out over seasons in TypeScript (the fan-out and its flat-series fallback were domain knowledge in the presentation layer), groups the returned episodes under season headers by parentIndexNumber, and passes the resolved current episode to SeasonSectionEpisodeRow, which renders a highlight ring and scrolls itself into view. The hero button navigates to /library/<seriesId>?episode=<currentId> — the Episode Focus View, where an explicit Play/Resume commits — per ux-flows §5B.5: Play on a container is navigation, Play on a leaf commits. It previously resolved $libraryItems[0], the first season by SortName, and navigated to /player/<seasonId>, which the player route bounced back to /library/<seasonId> — so Play on a series played nothing and landed on the season-1 page UI UR-062 Done
DR-103 A season is not a destination. /library/<seasonId> redirects to /library/<seriesId>#season-<indexNumber>, the anchor SeasonSection renders, so a season link scrolls the series' continuous episode list rather than opening a page. Every inbound link follows: the episode breadcrumb, handleItemClick case "season", the TV landing page's case "Season", and DownloadedBrowse. A season carrying no seriesId (deep link into a stale cache) still renders the generic view so the user is never stranded. This removes a surface that had no route of its own — it fell through the detail page's kind chain to the generic "Contents" poster grid, contradicting ux-flows §5A.2 (episodes must be a row list), and clicking an episode there opened a bare Episode page, which §5B.1 forbids UI UR-062 Done
DR-104 The "More Episodes" strip spans the whole series in series order, per ux-flows §5B.2's cross-season continuity rule: at the end of a season the window runs on into the next season's first episodes instead of dead-ending. adjacentEpisodes previously filtered the pool to parentIndexNumber === current.parentIndexNumber and sorted by indexNumber alone, so the window could never leave the current season — and, when episodes of several seasons did reach it, sorting by episode number alone interleaved them. Cards crossing a season boundary are labelled SxEy rather than a bare episode number so the jump is legible UI UR-062 Done
DR-105 Video library routes collapse to one per library. /library/tv and /library/movies render browse / all-titles / genres as in-page tabs driven by ?view=, omitted for the default browse (the convention searchRouteUrl already uses for the all scope); resolveLibraryView is pure and unit-tested. The four legacy routes become redirect-only +page.ts loads rather than deletions, because GenreTags links to them and users have them in history; resolveSearchScope keeps its /library/shows branch for the same reason. The "Browse" tile grid at the bottom of both landing pages is removed — it was a second navigation affordance to the same destinations the carousels' "Show all" links already reach UI UR-063 Done
DR-106 Erasing watch history goes through the repository, not the local cache: clear_watch_history(item_id) maps to Jellyfin's DELETE /Users/{userId}/PlayedItems/{itemId}, which clears the played flag and zeroes the resume position, and which the server applies recursively to a folder — so one call handles a whole series or season. OfflineRepository returns RepoError::Offline rather than clearing locally, because history diverged only on the device would be silently undone by the next sync; the button disables itself while the server is unreachable. ClearHistoryButton is shared by the series hero and each SeasonSection header, confirms before acting (there is no undo), and reloads the page on success so the recomputed current episode — the premiere, for a fully cleared series — is what the viewer sees Repository UR-064 Done
DR-107 Seasons on the series page are collapsible, and only the current season is expanded on load — the one holding the episode DR-101 resolved. A show with ten seasons otherwise renders every episode of every season at once, burying the one episode the viewer came for under hundreds of rows. Expansion state is per season and pure (initialExpandedSeasons in seriesNavigation.ts): the current season, or the first season when there is no current episode, so a never-watched show still opens on season 1 rather than fully collapsed. A ?episode= deep link expands that episode's season too. Toggling is local and not persisted — it is a reading position, not a preference UI UR-062 Done
DR-108 The instant (cache) leg of repository_search searches the synced catalog, not just downloads. OfflineRepository::search replaces its downloaded_items CTE with the available_items CTE get_items already uses — the same downloads branches plus a synced_at IS NOT NULL branch gated on the same include_catalog_browse() flag — so search and browse cannot diverge on what is visible. Online (flag true) search reads the whole index and answers before any HTTP request completes; offline with "Show all server media" off (flag false) it stays downloads-only, unchanged. Requires no frontend change, since the flag is already set correctly for all three states. The include_item_types filter is switched from string interpolation to bound parameters, as SearchOptions is settable from the frontend and not only from SearchScope Backend UR-065 Implemented
DR-109 Index freshness is a Rust-owned policy, not a frontend startup call. A tokio task ticks every 30 min and runs a full pass when a repository is active, the server is reachable, and last_catalog_sync (already persisted to app_settings, previously read only for a UI hint) is older than CATALOG_INDEX_TTL (6 h); the ConnectivityMonitor reconnect signal re-evaluates the same condition immediately. An AtomicBool prevents concurrent passes, replacing offlineCatalog.ts's syncInProgress — the frontend trigger is removed rather than left alongside, since two triggers with one guard each is how double-crawls happen. RepositoryManager gains an active-handle slot so the task has something to run against. Progress is emitted as the kebab-case catalog-index-event Backend UR-065 Implemented
DR-110 Index hygiene. save_to_cache switches from INSERT OR REPLACE INTO items to ON CONFLICT(id) DO UPDATE: REPLACE fires no AFTER DELETE trigger unless recursive_triggers is on (it is not — only foreign_keys and journal_mode are set), so items_ad never ran, and because items.id is a TEXT PRIMARY KEY each replacement also took a fresh rowid and appended a second items_fts entry — a duplicate index per sync, invisible in results but permanently degrading MATCH. The upsert preserves the rowid items_fts keys on and fires items_au; migration 021_rebuild_items_fts clears orphans on existing installs. Separately, a post-crawl sweep deletes synced-but-not-downloaded rows a successful library crawl did not return, so media removed from the server stops being searchable; it skips items with completed downloads and skips any library whose crawl errored, because items.parent_id is ON DELETE CASCADE and a partial crawl would cascade away a whole series Storage UR-065 Implemented
DR-111 The index covers what the result groups render: CATALOG_ITEM_TYPES gains MusicArtist and Playlist, and migration 022_people_fts adds a people_fts virtual table over the existing people table (which had no FTS, and is populated incidentally by item-detail fetches) with the same trigger pattern as items_fts. OfflineRepository::search UNIONs people_fts matches in as Person items when the resolved scope admits them — i.e. SearchScope::All, which expands to no filter (DR-063). Without this, the Artists and People groups UR-060 mandates can only ever be filled by the server leg Storage UR-065, UR-060 Implemented
DR-112 Safe-area insets come from native, not from env() alone. env(safe-area-inset-*) is 0px without viewport-fit=cover (missing from app.html, so every safe-area rule in the app was already a no-op), and even with it Android WebView maps only the display cutout — never the status bar or navigation bar. Since enableEdgeToEdge() plus targetSdk 36 make edge-to-edge unconditional, the WebView always spans the system bars, so CSS could not learn about them by any route. WindowInsetsBridge reads the real insets and publishes jt-inset custom properties; app.css folds them with env() via max() into --safe-*, which is the only thing components may pad from. Ownership is exactly one element per edge: the app shell takes top/left/right, and BottomUi takes bottom wherever it renders (shellReservesBottomInset hands it back to the shell on routes with no bottom UI) so the padding sits inside BottomUi's surface box and the colour extends behind the gesture bar. The full-screen players inset their control layers only, leaving video and artwork edge-to-edge. The theme's fitsSystemWindows=true — which claimed the opposite and was overridden at runtime and ignored at this target SDK — is removed UI UR-066 Done
DR-113 MediaItem.user_data is populated from the server instead of being hardcoded None. JellyfinItem gains a UserData field (#[serde(alias = "UserData")] → the existing UserData type) and to_media_item maps it, so every list and detail response carries favourite/played/resume state. UserData is named explicitly in the Fields= list rather than relying on Jellyfin's default. Without this no card or detail page can render a favourite it did not itself set, and the mini player's per-track storageGetPlaybackProgress fetch is the only way to colour one heart Repository UR-069 Done
DR-114 Server favourite state is mirrored into the local user_data table by OfflineRepository::save_to_cache — the single choke point every cached server result passes through — so offline browsing and the offline Favourites page see the same favourites as the server. The upsert carries pending_sync = 0 and is guarded by WHERE user_data.pending_sync = 0, which is the conflict rule: a toggle made offline is never overwritten by a stale server value before it has been pushed Storage UR-069 Done
DR-115 Cross-library favourites query: a get_favorites(scope, options) repository method plus the repository_get_favorites command. Online issues Filters=IsFavorite&Recursive=true with IncludeItemTypes expanded from SearchScope::item_types() in Rust (the frontend sends the opaque scope, never a type list — DR-063); offline reads items ⨝ user_data (is_favorite = 1) under the same include_catalog_browse() gate as browsing; hybrid races cache against server like get_items — saving server results through to the cache on a miss, so the favourites page does not re-query the server every visit and the DR-114 mirror is filled on a fresh install — and applies the DR-080 rule that an empty offline result is authoritative when the gate is off. The command falls back to this read when nothing is cached, rather than painting an empty state it will correct a round trip later. A separate method rather than get_items because favourites span libraries and get_items is ParentId-shaped Repository UR-067 Done
DR-116 GetItemsOptions.favorites_only filters an existing library listing in place — online by appending Filters=IsFavorite, offline by joining user_data into the existing available_items CTE so the downloads-only gate still applies. This is what backs the per-library favourites toggle, and composes with the genre and item-type filters already there Repository UR-067 Done
DR-117 The Favourites page (/library/favorites) renders favourites across libraries with All / Movies / Shows / Music scope tabs, reusing LibraryViewTabs + LibraryGrid + MediaCard so card shape still follows the media (§5A.1) and a mixed All tab reads as posters, squares and thumbnails side by side. Each tab sends a SearchScope value and nothing else. Reached from the library overview and from "See all" on the home rows UI UR-067 Done
DR-118 Home carries favourite rows for movies, shows and music, loaded via repository_get_favorites per scope and rendered below Recently Added. A row with no items does not render at all, so a fresh install shows no empty favourite rows UI UR-067 Done
DR-119 FavoriteButton is mounted wherever a whole item is shown — movie/series/episode detail heroes, album/artist/playlist headers, and as a MediaCard artwork overlay — and a favorites store holds in-session optimistic state so un-hearting on one surface updates every other without a refetch. Resolution order is store override ?? item.userData?.isFavorite ?? false. On a card the heart is its own button and stops propagation, so hearting never also opens, plays, or triggers the §5B.5 long-press; it is suppressed on server-only (greyed) cards UI UR-068 Done
DR-120 Favourite toggles made while offline reach the server. A Rust drain, triggered by the ConnectivityMonitor offline→online transition, pushes every user_data row with pending_sync = 1 and clears the flag on success, leaving failures pending for the next transition. It lives in Rust rather than the frontend because a frontend drain dies with the component that started it. Both the drain and the hybrid background refresh emit the kebab-case favorites-changed event ({ itemIds }) so open views update — without it a favourite marked on another client appears only on the second visit to a page, since the cache-first read returns local rows and the server refresh is invisible to the frontend. Supersedes the unused syncService.queueFavorite, which is deleted rather than left as a second queue Backend UR-069 Done
DR-121 Player quality selector: Rust reports the bitrates available for the current media source and owns the quality→transcode-parameter mapping (the one get_video_download_url already holds — playback calls into it rather than restating it, or the two tables drift). Changing quality re-negotiates the stream URL and resumes at the current position with audio/subtitle selection preserved. On Linux, video re-negotiates within HLS: returning stream.mp4 is the documented cause of transcoded playback never starting. The frontend renders the list and remembers the choice; it does not decide what the choice resolves to UI UR-070 Proposed
DR-122 The playback path is ephemeral. Streamed bytes are never persisted unless DR-124 rules them keepable, and any in-flight capture is abandoned — partial file deleted, never promoted — the moment the viewer changes quality, because a capture spanning a rendition change is a splice of two encodings rather than a playable file Playback UR-070 Proposed
DR-123 The download path is independent of playback: a whole-file fetch through the existing download manager at one canonical quality (default original, the direct static copy) over the Range-capable /Videos/{id}/stream.mp4, unaffected by bitrate changes and completing into an ordinary downloads row so offline browsing and refresh_queue_local_sources pick it up unchanged. Prerequisite: downloaded video is currently never played locally — repository_get_video_stream_url goes straight to the online repo and the player route calls it with no local check, so a completed video download is still streamed. Without that fix nothing in this spec is observable for video Repository UR-071 In Progress
DR-124 Streamed bytes are kept only where they are the download artifact — a direct-play session. Android uses ExoPlayer SimpleCache/CacheDataSource keyed by item and media-source id so renditions cannot collide, sharing the existing smart-cache storage budget rather than opening a second one over the same disk; Linux audio uses mpv stream-record, abandoned on seek because it is documented as intended for linear streams and seeking breaks the recording. Transcoded Linux video is not captured: HLS segments are not a file, and assembling one needs ffmpeg, which is not a dependency and which CI may not install at job time — DR-123 covers that case instead Playback UR-071 Proposed
DR-125 A capture is promoted to a completed downloads row only when it covers the whole resource; partials stay evictable cache. A new downloads.source_rendition column records the negotiated quality/container/codec (NULL for the existing paths, which are always original) so a captured transcode and a real download are distinguishable rows and an "upgrade to original" remains possible. A quality change never touches a file that already exists — not a permanent download, and not a completed temporary one, both of which stay valid copies of the rendition they hold. It invalidates only an in-flight capture or background download of cached media, which is abandoned and restarted at the newly chosen quality, because a capture spanning a rendition change is a splice of two encodings rather than a playable file Storage UR-071 Proposed
DR-126 Cache eviction only reclaims the temporary tier. evict_lru_async selected every completed download ordered by completed_at ASC with no download_source filter, so hitting the 10 GB storage limit deleted the oldest download — typically a film saved deliberately for offline — to make room for a newly precached track. It now evicts only COALESCE(download_source, 'user') = 'auto' rows; COALESCE rather than a bare equality because rows predating migration 012 can be NULL and unknown provenance must be treated as the user's, never as disposable. Freeing less than requested is the correct outcome when only user downloads remain — the caller reports "unable to free enough space" instead of silently deleting them Storage UR-071 Done
DR-127 A cache entry is a download with a shorter life: same downloads row and same file handling, distinguished by download_source = 'auto' plus an expiry, so there is one storage model rather than a cache and a download library that can disagree. Temporary rows are reclaimed on whichever comes first — the life limit elapsing, or eviction under space pressure (DR-126). Permanent ('user') rows have no expiry. A temporary row can be promoted to permanent by the user choosing to keep it, which only clears the expiry and flips the source; the bytes never move Storage UR-071 Done
DR-128 Audio-only playback of downloaded media reads the local file rather than fetching an audio-only stream. No transcode is involved or wanted: the Linux backend already runs MPV with video: no, so handing it the downloaded video file decodes the audio track and ignores the video, and ExoPlayer disables its video renderer equivalently. Transcoding to a separate audio artifact would cost CPU and battery, need an encoder the project does not ship, and produce a second file to keep in step — for no gain over simply not decoding the video Playback UR-071 Done
DR-129 A stream that stops delivering is recovered, not treated as terminal. Two failure shapes, because the streams differ. (a) Phantom end — the background audio-only handoff uses a progressive mp3 transcode over plain HTTP, chunked and therefore length-less, so a dropped connection reaches the player as end-of-input and ExoPlayer reports STATE_ENDED indistinguishably from the real end. The item's runtime is the only thing that can tell them apart: an end reported more than a tolerance short of it (comparing the absolute position — handoff base plus the player's relative position) is a truncation. Left unhandled, playback parked in STATE_ENDED and the next play intent from the lockscreen, notification or a Bluetooth reconnect seeks an ended player to position 0 — the user-visible "the episode randomly restarted". (b) Recoverable error — music (/Audio/{id}/stream?Static=true) and video (/Videos/{id}/master.m3u8) declare their length, so the player detects the truncation itself and raises an error; the frontend's handler stopped playback outright, turning a hiccup into silence. Both resume the current item in place (never via play_item, which would replace the queue with a single item and lose the album), the error path after a per-attempt backoff. Seekable streams are re-prepared at the URL they already have and seeked; the length-less transcode, which cannot be seeked, has StartTimeTicks rewritten into its existing URL so the user's audio-track selection survives and recovery needs no network round-trip. Only Remote sources qualify — a local file cannot fail from the network. A shared budget of consecutive attempts at the same position, refilled whenever playback progresses, stops an unreachable server from looping Playback UR-040, UR-004 Done
DR-130 A backend's position and duration must survive the end of the file they describe. MPV exposes time-pos/duration as properties of the loaded file, so at EOF it unloads and both stop resolving — the accessors reported 0.0/unknown at exactly the moment end-of-file handling asks where playback reached, and any position-versus-runtime check would have read every natural end as a truncation. The poll thread records the last reading and the accessors fall back to it. Linux resilience is layered on the same principle that the stream, not the player, is what failed: MPV is configured with ffmpeg reconnection (stream-lavf-o, network-timeout) so ordinary blips never surface, and EndFile(ERROR) — previously a bare log, which left playback halted while the UI still showed "playing" — is emitted as a recoverable error. Because MpvBackend is constructed before PlayerController exists, it cannot decide in-process like the Android JNI callback: the frontend echoes the error into player_recover_stream, which keeps the decision in Rust (the same shape as PlaybackEndedplayer_on_playback_ended). Android reports errors it has already declined as unrecoverable, so the echo never asks twice Playback UR-004, UR-040 Done
DR-131 The offline mutation queue is drained. sync_queue had producers and no consumer: PlaybackReporter::queue_for_sync writes a row for every start/stop/mark-played that cannot reach the server, sync_mark_processing/_completed/_failed were registered commands with no callers, and no Rust task processed the table — so queued watch positions never reached Jellyfin and the offline banner's count only ever grew. A drain hangs off the same connectivity:reconnected transition as DR-120 (in Rust, because a drain started by a component dies with it) and replays rows oldest-first, so a stale start cannot move the server's resume position backwards after a later stop. update_progress replays as stopped at N rather than as progress — replaying a mid-playback report hours later would claim the item is still playing — and payloads are read in both dialects that exist in users' databases (position_ticks from Rust, camelCase positionMs from the frontend helper). A failed row stays queued for the next reconnect; after MAX_SYNC_ATTEMPTS it is abandoned and stops counting, because a row nothing can ever push is what turns the queue into a counter that only grows. An unreachable server is not counted as an attempt at all — the row goes back to pending untouched — so opening the app offline a few times cannot abandon good rows; only a server that answers and refuses spends the budget. The drain also runs once at startup, because a queue built in a previous session would otherwise sit untouched for a whole run whenever the server was reachable the entire time and no offline→online transition ever fired. Requires MediaRepository::mark_played (JA-035) — the previous stand-in reported a stop at i64::MAX Backend UR-025, UR-002 Done
DR-132 The pending-sync count is answerable. The offline banner's badge read "N pending sync(s)" and led nowhere, so it was taken for pending transfers and looked for on the Downloads page — which lists the downloads table and structurally cannot show sync_queue rows. The badge becomes a button opening the queue it counts: each row's operation, the item's title (resolved by a LEFT JOIN items in sync_get_pending, not a per-row frontend fetch), when it was queued, and the error of anything failing, plus a "Sync now" that runs the DR-131 drain on demand. The same list is a Settings section, because a row that keeps failing is still queued when the server is reachable and no banner is on screen. The drain emits sync-queue-changed so the badge updates on reconnect instead of lagging by up to one 10s poll UI UR-025 Done
DR-133 A downloaded file has exactly one on-disk path, and the row that names it is authoritative. downloads.file_path starts relative to the storage root, but the worker rewrites it to the absolute path it actually wrote when the transfer completes — so a completed row is already rooted. The video player's offline branch rooted it a second time, handing the asset protocol /data/user/0/app//data/user/0/app/videos/x.mp4; the webview reported MEDIA_ERR_SRC_NOT_SUPPORTED with NETWORK_NO_SOURCE, so every downloaded video failed to play while audio — which resolves the same column through Rust's resolve_local_media_path, without re-rooting — played fine. The join is absolute-aware (POSIX, Windows drive letters and UNC) so rows written before completion still resolve Playback UR-071 Done
DR-134 The webview can actually fetch the local files it is handed. convertFileSrc rewrites a path to http://asset.localhost/… unconditionally, but Tauri only answers that origin when the protocol-asset cargo feature is compiled in and app.security.assetProtocol.enable is set — neither was, so every such URL reached a protocol with no handler and the webview reported NETWORK_NO_SOURCE. This silently defeated both offline video (<video src>) and the cached-thumbnail path in imageCache, which fails soft to the server copy and so hid the breakage whenever the server was reachable. The scope was $APPDATA/** — the storage root under which the database, downloads/ and the thumbnail cache all live — rather than an unrestricted grant; DR-198 narrows it further to $APPDATA/thumbnails/**, since DR-137 moved downloaded media off this protocol and thumbnails are all it still serves Security UR-071 Done
DR-140 An audio track is pinned only when the user picked one. Jellyfin's MediaStream.Index is global across every stream in a media source, so index 0 is the video stream on virtually all files — yet AudioStreamIndex=0 was sent as "the first audio track" on the HLS transcode URL, the background audio-only handoff URL, the direct-play fallback URL, and the PlaybackInfo negotiation body. A server that honours the request literally then transcodes the video stream into the audio slot and the result plays as a picture with no sound; only servers that silently correct the index hid the bug, which is why it presented as "some videos have no audio". The parameter is now omitted whenever no track has been chosen, so the server resolves the source's DefaultAudioStreamIndex; an explicit selection from player_switch_audio_track is still carried through unchanged. On the static=true direct-play URL it is dropped outright — the original file is served untouched, so the parameter could only mislead Playback UR-004, UR-040 Done
DR-147 One search input per screen, and the URL is the search's single source of truth. The header bar rendered only under /library/** and merely navigated to /search (DR-063), so a desktop search handed the user to a screen whose input was a different element — the header box cleared itself and vanished, and the page's own box took over mid-word. That page then re-derived its input from ?q= against library.searchQuery on every store write, so the next keystroke re-ran the effect and snapped the text back to the query the header had sent (and a scope chip back to the URL's scope); entering from the bottom-nav Search tab skipped it only because the effect early-returned on an empty query. The bar now renders on /search too (showHeaderSearch) and is the sole md+ input — the page's own input is md:hidden — and on that route it republishes the query into the URL with replaceState, so a whole session of typing costs one history entry. The page consumes that URL once per distinct value (seedFromSearchUrl against a non-reactive applied marker) instead of continuously reconciling it, and the scope chips publish through the same URL so the bar and the chips cannot disagree. Landing on /search with a seeded query focuses the bar and puts the caret at the end, because the box the user was typing in belonged to the unmounted route UI UR-049, UR-054 Done
DR-142 An episode has exactly one surface, and it is complete. Two divergent renderings existed: EpisodeFocusView (reached from Continue Watching, the series episode list, the TV landing page and Downloads — i.e. every real entry point) offered only Play and Favourite, while the bare /library/<episodeId> page nobody routed to carried the download button, the series/season breadcrumbs and the cast section. Opening an episode the normal way therefore silently lost the ability to download it. The Focus View is now the single surface and carries the full §5B.2 composition — hero action row Play / Download / Favourite, series name and SxEy badge as links back to the series and to that season's anchor, then genres → cast → similar shows below the episode strip, never above it (DR-062). /library/<episodeId> redirects into it (episodeRedirectTarget, the same rule seasons follow under DR-103), and an episode with no seriesId renders the same component series-less rather than falling back to a second, lesser page. The focused episode is fetched in full rather than reused from the season fan-out, because that is a list query and carries neither cast nor genres — the sections would have rendered empty. The strip hides itself when the episode has no siblings, a card that only shows the episode you are already on being noise UI UR-048, UR-058 Done
DR-141 The device profile states how many channels the audio route can actually voice. MediaCodecList answers "can this device decode 5.1", which is not the question that decides whether the user hears anything — a phone decodes an AC-3 5.1 track happily and still has two channels to play it out of. With no MaxAudioChannels in the profile, Jellyfin was free to direct-play the multichannel track, and the result is device dependent: a failed AudioSink configuration (silence) or dialogue folded into surround channels that go nowhere. media3's AudioCapabilities.maxChannelCount for the current route is reported over JNI alongside the codec lists, and bounds both the direct-play profile and the transcoding profiles, so the server downmixes rather than shipping channels the sink cannot take. Codecs are never removed from the profile — a device with genuine surround output keeps direct-playing it. A missing or zero reading means "route not yet established", not "no audio", and falls back to stereo, the one capability every sink has Playback UR-004 Done
DR-145 Video playback starts only once the app actually holds audio focus. Video manages focus by hand (handleAudioFocus=false, because ExoPlayer's automatic handling is reserved for the audio path), and the request's three outcomes were all treated as success: AUDIOFOCUS_REQUEST_DELAYED — which setAcceptsDelayedFocusGain(true) explicitly invites, and which means the system is withholding our audio until it calls back — and an outright REQUEST_FAILED were logged and then followed by playWhenReady = true. The picture rolled with no sound, indistinguishable to the user from a broken stream. Playback is now held when focus is not granted and started from the AUDIOFOCUS_GAIN callback; an explicit play() re-requests focus rather than resuming into a stream the system is still muting, guarded by a held-focus flag so repeated plays do not leak focus requests. A LOSS clears the pending flag, so an unrelated later GAIN cannot start playback the user never asked for Playback UR-004 Done
DR-146 The no-audio-track fallback picks a track the renderer can actually play. When ExoPlayer selected no audio track, the recovery forced group 0 / track 0 unconditionally — but the most likely reason nothing was selected is that this very track cannot be decoded on this device, so the override reinstated the silence it was meant to fix. It now scans the groups for the first isTrackSupported track and overrides to that, and clears setTrackTypeDisabled(TRACK_TYPE_AUDIO) because audio may equally have been off at the type level, which an override alone does not undo. When no group holds a supported track the condition is logged as an error — the server was expected to transcode — rather than leaving a silent video with no explanation in the log Playback UR-004 Done
DR-148 The video direct-play profile advertises only what the webview can decode. The audio codec list comes from MediaCodecList, which describes ExoPlayer — but video does not play through ExoPlayer on either platform: Android force-renders every video in the webview <video> element (the interim override in VideoPlayer.svelte, because the native SurfaceView sits behind an opaque webview) and Linux always has. Chromium and WebKit decode a far narrower set than the platform does, and the gap is widest on devices whose vendor licenses Dolby: a phone shipping /vendor/etc/media_codecs_dolby_audio.xml reports ac3,eac3, so Jellyfin 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, not the lack of it, which is why it reproduced on one Motorola while a Fairphone and an Honor tablet played the same file on the same build: a device without the Dolby decoder never claims the codec, so the server transcodes to AAC and it plays. video_audio_codecs narrows the platform list to the webview-decodable set (aac,mp3,opus,vorbis,flac) for the video direct-play profile only — the audio-only profile keeps the full list, since that playback really is the native player's and narrowing it would transcode music that plays perfectly well. A list with nothing decodable still claims aac rather than going out empty, because a profile that claims 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 Playback UR-004 Done
DR-149 The client decides whether its own renderer can decode the audio, rather than trusting the server's negotiation. Advertising a webview-shaped profile (DR-148) turned out to be necessary but not sufficient: Jellyfin 10.11.5 enforces a DirectPlayProfile's Container and VideoCodec — excluding either returns SupportsDirectPlay: false with TranscodeReasons=ContainerNotSupported / VideoCodecNotSupported — but ignores its AudioCodec, offering an E-AC-3 track for direct play against a profile listing only aac,flac,mp3,opus,vorbis. Neither a VideoAudio CodecProfile forbidding the codec nor a MaxAudioChannels: 2 against a 6-channel track changes the answer, so no profile the client can send fixes it and the picture plays silent. The negotiated source's audio is therefore checked locally against what the webview decodes, and an undecodable track forces the existing h264/aac HLS transcode URL regardless of the server saying direct play is 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 the server would serve: the default, or the first when nothing is marked default, since a supported track further down the list is not the one that plays. A source with no audio streams, or a stream whose codec the server did not name, is left alone — forcing a transcode on a guess spends server CPU on files that already play Playback UR-004 Done
DR-150 Android video renders on the native ExoPlayer surface behind a transparent WebView, behind the experimentalNativeVideo opt-in. Rust already reported use_html5_element: false on Android, but two frontend overrides discarded it — createAdapter() hardcoded "html5", and VideoPlayer.svelte forced useHtml5Element = true and stopped the native backend player_play_item had just started. The flag is a suppressor, never a promoter: off forces HTML5 even where Rust says native, so an in-progress spike cannot ship as the default, but it can never select native where Rust reported HTML5 (Linux cannot composite behind WebKitGTK, so promoting there is a black screen). Compositing requires clearing two independent opaque layers, and clearing only one leaves audio over a black picture — the WebView widget background and window drawable from Kotlin (AndroidVideoSurface.setTransparent), and the page's html/body and app-shell background from CSS (data-native-video). Transparency is declared in tauri.android.conf.json rather than the base config, because a transparent window on Linux has nothing behind it, and is toggled per playback session rather than set once, because a permanently transparent window shows the launcher through the rest of the app Playback UR-003, UR-004 Done (behind experimentalNativeVideo, default on since DR-194/DR-196)
DR-151 The player's video SurfaceView actually reaches the view hierarchy. JellyTauPlayer.setActivity() had zero callers, so currentActivity was always null and autoAttachSurface() returned at "Cannot attach surface - no Activity reference". The surface was created and handed to ExoPlayer but never added to the content view, so native video decoded to a surface that was never on screen — independent of any webview transparency. MainActivity.onCreate now supplies the reference, which also revives PiP on the video path: canEnterPip() gates on isVideoSurfaceAttached(), which had been permanently false Playback UR-003, UR-041 Done
DR-152 Platform playback facilities are reported by Rust, not sniffed from the user agent. webviewAudio.ts re-derived "does this platform have a native audio backend" by matching navigator.userAgent against android/linux — a second copy of the cfg! gate the backends are compiled under, free to drift from it. player_get_capabilities now returns usesWebviewAudio and supportsNativeVideo from the same cfg gates, and the frontend consumes them; the settings toggle for native video is hidden entirely where the platform cannot support it Player UR-003, UR-005 Done
DR-153 The git tag is the single source of truth for a release version. The version lived in four files (package.json, tauri.conf.json, Cargo.toml, Cargo.lock) that had to be hand-edited in lockstep, and CI's release job rewrote exactly one of them — so a tagged build produced an installer named for the tag wrapped around package metadata naming the previous release, while the Linux job had no version step at all and shipped whatever was committed. scripts/set-version.sh writes all four from one argument and is the only thing that does; every release job calls it with the tag. The Android versionCode is derived in the same place as 1000 + major*10000 + minor*100 + patch, which is monotonic in semver order and clears the 1000 floor already installed in the field — a lower code than the installed one makes Android refuse the update. A prerelease suffix is stripped before that arithmetic, which would otherwise abort the script, and a non-tag ref (CI passes ${GITHUB_REF#refs/tags/} unconditionally) falls back to git describe rather than failing a branch build Build - Done
DR-154 A watch position that cannot reach the server is queued, not dropped. sync_queue and its drain (DR-131) were built, tested and running, but the stop-report path never fed them: HybridRepository::report_playback_stopped is a bare pass-through to the online repository ("Playback reporting goes directly to server"), and on failure the error surfaced to a frontend catch whose own comment read "Server error - could queue, but for now just log". Both producers that would have queued it — PlaybackReporter::queue_for_sync in Rust and syncService.queuePlaybackProgress on the frontend — have no callers on the playback path, so closing a video while the server was unreachable lost the resume point outright even though user_data.pending_sync was dutifully set to 1 and nothing ever drains that flag for positions (unlike favourites, DR-120). The command layer now enqueues a report_playback_stopped row whenever the push fails, which the existing drain already knows how to parse and replay. The pending row for an item is superseded in place rather than appended to: progress is reported every 10s, so a server that stays down would otherwise add a row per tick, all of them obsoleted by the newest — the unbounded queue DR-131 exists to prevent. Only pending/failed rows are superseded, because an abandoned row has been given up on and reviving it would restore that same growing counter. Queueing is best-effort and never fails the command: the local position is already saved, so a failed queue write must not be reported as a lost position Backend UR-025, UR-002 Done
DR-155 A watch position set on another device reaches this one. The resume check reads the local user_data row and nothing else, but mirror_user_data — the only path by which server UserData lands in that table — mirrored is_favorite alone, and returned early whenever that field was absent, which is exactly the shape of an ordinary watched episode. So playback_position_ticks was write-only from this device's perspective: watch 40 minutes in a browser, open JellyTau, and it resumed from whatever this device last saw or offered no resume at all — the same user-visible symptom as DR-150's Android bug, from an unrelated cause, which is why resume read as broadly flaky. The mirror now carries the position alongside the favourite flag under the same pending_sync = 0 conflict rule, so a local position still waiting to be pushed is never pulled backwards by a server that has not yet heard where we got to; COALESCE(excluded.x, user_data.x) means a field the server omitted keeps its stored value rather than being nulled, and a row with neither field is still skipped rather than fabricated as zeroes. Mirroring alone was not sufficient: get_item — the call the player route makes — returned the cached copy on a hit and never consulted the server, so for an already-cached item the mirror never ran. It now refreshes in the background on a cache hit (race_with_refresh, the reusable form of what get_items already did inline), which is why browsing a season picked up other devices' state while opening the episode directly did not. The refreshed value lands for the next read, the cache-first race still answering immediately Backend UR-025, UR-002 Done
DR-156 A page no longer inherits the previous page's scroll position. The shell keeps its scrollers alive across navigation by design — the root layout, the home page and the library layout each own a flex-1 overflow-y-auto box that outlives the route inside it, which is what lets BottomUi be a flex sibling rather than a measured overlay — but the element therefore never remounts and its scrollTop survives the route change. SvelteKit's own scroll restoration could not help: it saves and restores window scroll, and in this app the window never scrolls at all, so there was no scroll handling of any kind. The symptom was that opening an item from half-way down a library grid dropped the viewer half-way down the detail page, and returning to the grid landed at the top of it — exactly backwards. ScrollMemory (pure, one instance per container, keyed on path + query so a genre-filtered grid keeps its own place) records the offset a route is left at in beforeNavigate and decides in afterNavigate: link/goto/form reset to the top, popstate restores that route's saved offset, and the initial enter is left alone. Deciding does not consume the offset, so a route returned to more than once restores each time. Applied via the scrollContainer action on all three scrollers UI UR-072 Done
DR-160 Picture-in-picture works on the path that actually plays video. PiP shrinks the whole Activity, so canEnterPip demanded a native ExoPlayer SurfaceView be attached and rendering — isPlayingVideo() && getSurfaceView() != null && isVideoSurfaceAttached(). But the native path sits behind experimentalNativeVideo, which defaulted to off, so in the shipping configuration video played in the WebView's <video> element and all three conditions were false. enterPip bailed with "Not entering PiP: no local video playing" every single time: the button was offered (gated only on OS capability) and could not work, however it was pressed. The manager now accepts either surface. The frontend reports the element through AndroidPictureInPicture.setHtml5VideoState(active, width, height, playing) — intrinsic size because the PiP window's aspect ratio came from the letterboxed surface's measured bounds, which do not exist here, and play state because ExoPlayer.isPlaying is false on this path and the PiP play/pause action would be frozen on "Play" mid-playback. Two behaviours invert when the WebView is the video: it must stay visible in PiP rather than be hidden (hideWebView is now gated on the native path — hiding it would leave an empty black window), and the play/pause RemoteAction has to reach the element, so the receiver dispatches jellytau-pip-play/jellytau-pip-pause DOM events instead of driving ExoPlayer. jellytau-pip-entered/-exited let the player strip its own chrome, since controls, title and gradients would otherwise be rendered into a window a couple of inches wide. The <video> is deregistered on teardown so PiP is never offered over a video that has gone UI UR-041 Done (pending device verification)
DR-167 Each downloaded library shows only its own media. Cached items carry no link back to their library — library_id and parent_id are NULL on every row (offline-libraries-never-cached) — so get_downloaded_items matched the library branch with EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM libraries l WHERE l.id = ?), which asserts only that the requested library exists and never constrains the item to it. Opening any downloaded library therefore listed every downloaded top-level item on the server: films under Music, albums under TV. The sibling query that decides which libraries appear already carried the right rule — a collection_typeitem_type mapping — so the two disagreed about the same question. That mapping is now the named constant LIBRARY_HOLDS_ITEM, used by both, and a library of unknown collection type still keeps everything rather than being emptied by a rule that cannot classify it. The taxonomy stays in Rust, never the frontend Downloads UR-055 Done
DR-168 Pause and resume actually stop and restart the bytes. pause_download wrote status = 'paused' and did nothing else, and no cancellation existed anywhere in the download stack — no token, no flag, no abort — so the streaming task ran on, kept writing, and overwrote the row with completed/failed when it finished: the row flicked to "paused" and undid itself. resume_download had the mirror defect, flipping the row to pending without calling pump_download_queue; the pump runs when something calls it rather than polling, so a resumed download sat untouched until an unrelated event happened to pump the queue. A per-download stop flag (download::stop) is the missing half — a module-level registry because the two sides never meet, the command holding Tauri state and the worker running detached in async_runtime::spawn. The worker reads it between chunks and on retry (so a pause is not swallowed by a 45-second backoff), flushes, and returns Stopped, which is deliberately not retryable and not recorded as a failure: the .part file is left intact because that is exactly what the resume's Range request continues from. Registering returns a fresh flag, or a resumed download would inherit the pause that stopped it and halt instantly. Cancel and clear_stale_downloads signal it too, so neither deletes a file still being written Downloads UR-055 Done
DR-169 Partial files are actually reaped. The worker named its sidecar with Path::with_extension("part"), which replaces the extension — movie.mp4 became movie.part — while every cleanup path deleted "{file_path}.part", i.e. movie.mp4.part. The two never matched, so the partial file of every cancelled or failed download stayed on disk indefinitely, invisible to the disk-usage totals because no downloads row pointed at it. partial_path appends instead, is the single definition both the writer and the cleaners use, and incidentally removes a collision the old form had, where movie.mp4 and movie.mkv mapped to one movie.part Downloads UR-055 Done
DR-173 Downloading an album queues the whole album, and every track it queued is findable offline afterwards. Two independent gaps left an album with a handful of its tracks on the device while the button reported the album as downloaded. First, download_album took its track list from items WHERE album_id = ? — the local catalog cache. Jellyfin does not return AlbumId on every listing endpoint, so tracks cached by one of those endpoints sit in items with a NULL album_id and are invisible to that query; on the reporter's database three whole albums (18, 12 and 9 tracks) had it NULL on every track, so "download album" would have queued nothing for them, and a partially-linked album queued only the linked subset. Second, the frontend then resolved one stream URL per track from its own list and paired it with the returned row ids by position — a pairing with no basis, since 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 at all; on Android that loop also stopped wherever the webview was suspended. The same 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 two halves of the same missing link. 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) and 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 — queuing a track is the statement that it belongs to the album, rather than something to hope a listing endpoint recorded — and the stream URLs are resolved here through the existing reconnect resolver, now scoped to the rows just queued so one album cannot start every unrelated pending row. Nothing crosses the IPC boundary but the album id. Re-queuing a broken album heals it: the missing tracks are added 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 Downloads UR-018, UR-055 Done
DR-170 Downloads at a chosen bitrate are no longer corrupted by their own retries. Only the original preset asks for Static=true; every other rung requests a transcode, which Jellyfin serves chunked, with no Content-Length, and cannot byte-seek — so it ignores Range and answers 200 with the whole stream from the beginning rather than 206 with the requested tail. The worker sent the Range header whenever a .part existed and appended the body unconditionally, so each retry and each resume concatenated a fresh copy of the entire transcode onto the bytes already on disk: the file grew past its real size and would not play, which is why "downloads for different bitrates" stayed broken after the videoBitRate casing fix (DR-adc460f3) corrected the request. resume_offset makes the response decide — append only on a 206, otherwise truncate and take the stream from the top — and the total size is computed from that offset rather than from a partial length the server never agreed to Downloads UR-071 Done
DR-172 Native Android video is opt-in again, because as a default it shipped as audio with no picture. DR-161 flipped experimentalNativeVideo on so picture-in-picture could shrink a real video surface; on a device that produced sound and a blank screen. The decode path was never the problem — logcat showed ExoPlayer running (Position update ticks) and feeding a live SurfaceView with an active BufferQueue. The compositing was: the SurfaceView sits behind the WebView, and the step that clears the opaque layers above it never took effect, with WebView transparent = false logged and = true never appearing. So the video rendered correctly the whole time, behind an opaque page. This is exactly the defect the flag existed to contain — VideoPlayer.scrubRegression.test.ts had recorded that "the native SurfaceView has never been visible through the webview" — and enabling it by default shipped a verified decode path on top of an unverified display path. Reverting costs nothing that matters: PiP does not depend on it (DR-160 drives PiP from the WebView <video>), and working video outranks PiP showing a native surface. The flag stays available in Settings, now described as incomplete rather than as a performance win, and the scrub-regression mocks that were made explicit under DR-161 are kept explicit so those tests state which path they guard rather than inheriting a default that has now moved twice. Fixing the compositing is the prerequisite for trying this default again UI UR-003, UR-004, UR-041 Done
DR-171 A downloaded video keeps audio the device can actually decode. original quality asked for Static=true, which hands back the source file byte-for-byte — E-AC-3/AC-3/DTS/TrueHD track included — and video is rendered on both platforms by the webview <video> element, which decodes none of them. Streaming already knew this: DR-149 judges the track the server would serve against WEBVIEW_AUDIO_CODECS and forces a transcode over Jellyfin's own direct-play offer, because 10.11.5 honours a DirectPlayProfile's container and video codec but ignores its audio codec. The download path never consulted that policy, so the same film had sound when streamed and played as picture in silence once downloaded — and offline a download is the only source a video has, so there was no working path left to fall back to. The rule is now one rule: served_audio_codec picks the track the server will serve (the default, or the first when none is marked) and both callers judge it, the streaming verdict staying a bool and the download path needing the codec itself so it can say what to re-encode. Only the audio is re-encoded — allowVideoStreamCopy=true keeps an h264 source's picture byte-for-byte and no bitrate or resolution cap is added, so original still means original quality; a source the webview could not have rendered anyway (HEVC) becomes h264 as a side effect, which is the only form of it that would have played. The decision is per item rather than blanket because the transcode costs the byte-range resumability Static=true gives the download worker (see DR-170 for what a chunked, length-less response does to a resume), so a file whose audio already plays keeps the direct copy. An unknown codec — item not fetchable, or the server named none — changes nothing: the policy only ever adds a transcode, so it cannot make a working download worse. The codec set judged against is the webview's, not the platform's, even though DR-161 made ExoPlayer the Android default: experimentalNativeVideo is a user setting, a downloaded file outlives whatever it was set to when the file arrived, and the narrow list is the only one that holds on both sides of it — at the cost of a Dolby-licensed device re-encoding a track its ExoPlayer could have played. resolve_video_download_url is the single entrance for all three resolution sites (the frontend's per-item command, the bulk series/season enqueue, and the offline-queued resume), since the pure builder cannot look a codec up and a caller that forgets to is exactly how the silent downloads shipped. Files already downloaded stay silent — the bytes on disk are the wrong bytes and only a re-download replaces them Downloads UR-071, UR-004 Done
DR-162 Video streams are opened against a bandwidth ceiling the user chose, instead of a fixed allowance nobody could change. Every video URL carried MaxStreamingBitrate=20000000/VideoBitrate=18000000, PlaybackInfo negotiated at 20 Mbps, and the device profile advertised 999999999 — so on a metered or slow connection the only lever was not watching. StreamingQuality is a ladder of ceilings (Original, 20/10/8/4/2/1 Mbps, 720 kbps) in which a step is not a label but a bundle of transcode parameters: the total ceiling, the audio share of it, and the resolution that budget can carry. It lives in Rust because those numbers are Jellyfin encoding vocabulary — the frontend names a variant and reads labels back over player_get_streaming_qualities, the same arrangement as the EQ preset curves. The video bitrate is the total minus the audio share, so the two together honour the cap rather than overshooting it by the size of the audio track, and MaxHeight falls with the ladder so a small budget is not spent on pixels it cannot afford. The cap has to reach the negotiation, not only the transcode URL: max_static_bitrate in the device profile is what makes the server refuse to direct-play a source fatter than the ceiling, and without it a 30 Mbps remux is handed over untouched and every URL parameter downstream is moot — which is why it is applied at all four places that decide bandwidth (the HLS builder, PlaybackInfo, open_live_stream, and the background-audio handoff, which takes the lower of the cap and its own 384 kbps). The ceiling is process-wide rather than a field on OnlineRepository, mirroring INCLUDE_CATALOG_BROWSE: it is a preference about this device's connection, it must survive a repository rebuilt on re-login, and every builder plus the negotiation have to agree on it or the cap leaks. Settings owns the durable default and is the only writer to app_settings — persisted unlike the rest of VideoSettings, because a limit set for a metered connection that silently reverts to uncapped on the next launch spends the user's data with no changed setting to show for it — and it is restored at startup from the async runtime, defaulting to uncapped if the read fails so a database problem degrades to the old behaviour rather than to an arbitrary limit. The in-player menu is the per-video override: a cap is a property of the stream the server is producing, so it cannot be applied to one already in flight — player_set_stream_quality re-opens the stream at the new quality and resumes at the current position, reloading a native backend itself and handing HTML5 a URL for the same reloadSource primitive the audio-track switch uses, so no strategy branch lives in the UI. It deliberately does not persist. This gives UR-070 its resume-at-the-same-point mechanism; the server-offered per-item rendition list that requirement also asks for remains proposed Playback UR-074, UR-070 Done
DR-174 Tiles of mixed shapes are laid out justified rather than gridded. A CSS grid gives every cell one box, so on a page holding square music covers, 16:9 library backdrops and 2:3 posters at once, everything that is not the chosen shape is cropped to it — the home shortcut strip was explicitly forcing aspect="video" on music libraries for exactly this reason, which lined the row up by cutting the covers down. layoutMosaic packs tiles into rows of a shared height and gives each its own width from its own aspect ratio: it adds tiles to a row until the height needed to fill the container has fallen to the target, closes the row there (so rows land at or below the target, never above), and justifies the row to the container width by absorbing the rounding remainder into its widest tile, where a pixel is least visible. The last row is deliberately not justified — with one tile left over, filling the width would inflate it to a banner — so it sits at the target height, left-aligned. Ratios are clamped to a band, which costs a crop on genuine outliers and stops one panorama owning a row or one very tall image shrinking to a sliver. It is a pure module with no DOM: the component supplies only the two things the DOM knows — the measured container width, and the artwork's decoded aspect ratio, reported by CachedImage so the layout uses the shape an image actually has rather than the one its item type implies. Those measurements are committed in one debounced batch rather than per image, because artwork arrives over several hundred milliseconds and re-packing on each arrival would shuffle the grid under the pointer repeatedly. Labels are drawn over the bottom of each tile rather than beneath it: a caption below sits outside the computed box, and one that wraps to two lines would break the row alignment the layout exists to provide UI UR-075 Done
DR-175 A library knows which favourites category it belongs to, and the frontend does not work it out. The mosaic offers a favourites tile per category beside its library, which needs a collection-type → category answer; deriving it in Svelte would have re-created the exact leak SearchScope::item_types was extracted to close (docs/specs/scoped-search-boundary.md) — one table of Jellyfin vocabulary, differing only in which vocabulary. SearchScope::for_collection_type maps movies/tvshows/music and returns None for everything else, so a Live TV or books library gets no tile at all rather than one opening an unfiltered list; All is never derived from a library, being the cross-library entry offered beside them rather than a property of one. Library::new stamps the result onto every library at construction — a constructor rather than a struct literal precisely so a derived field cannot be forgotten at one of the four sites — and it rides to the frontend as an optional favoritesScope, absent rather than null when there is none. The UI's remaining share is presentation only: what to call the tile, where to put it, and showing a category's tile once however many libraries share it, since two movie libraries have one favourites list between them UI UR-075, UR-067 Done
DR-176 The server is never asked to burn a subtitle into the picture. PlaybackInfo omitted SubtitleStreamIndex, which does not mean "none" — the server then honours the source's default/forced flag and picks a track itself. On a source whose default subtitle is image-based (PGS/DVD/DVB) that track cannot go out as a sidecar, so the server falls back to SubtitleMethod=Encode and composites it into the video. The cost lands on the video, not the subtitle: burn-in rules out remuxing, so an HEVC stream the device could have taken untouched is re-encoded frame by frame. Observed on an HEVC + E-AC-3 + PGSSUB episode, where only the audio actually needed transcoding: the server could not sustain the re-encode in real time, the buffer never grew past a single segment, and playback stalled every few seconds — taking seeking with it, since each seek restarted the encoder and cost seconds before the first frame. The fix is to request SubtitleStreamIndex=-1 explicitly and to advertise every text format we can render (srt/subrip/ass/ssa/vtt) as External, so a subtitle can only ever arrive as a sidecar. Nothing is lost, because the app already fetches subtitle tracks itself and draws them over the video (UR-020) — the server's composited copy was always redundant. Image-based tracks are consequently not offered, which is honest rather than a regression: the renderer cannot composite a bitmap, and the previous behaviour paid for them by making the whole stream unwatchable. Both halves of that hold at the layer that can enforce them. The sentinel travels on the stream URL as well as in the negotiation, because the negotiation is not what opens most streams — a quality switch, a transcoded seek and an audio-track switch each rebuild the URL on their own, and an omitted index there lets the server pick the default track back up out of whatever session state it still holds. And "not offered" is enforced where the offer is made: each subtitle stream crosses the boundary carrying the backend's verdict on whether it can arrive as a sidecar, so the picker lists only tracks the app can draw instead of showing an entry that ticks and displays nothing. Only an explicit "no" hides a track, so a stream carrying no verdict behaves as before Playback UR-020, UR-004 Done
DR-177 Each video transcode this device opens is its own server-side job, and the one it replaces is stopped. Jellyfin keys a transcode job by device and play session, and every stream URL the app built carried the same hardcoded DeviceId with no PlaySessionId at all — so the second stream for an item was indistinguishable from the first. Re-opening a stream is not rare: a mid-playback quality switch (UR-074), a transcoded seek and an audio-track switch all do it, each leaving the previous ffmpeg running. Observed on-device when switching bitrate mid-film: the server served the new playlist, then rejected the new job's segments with 400 hls1/main/0.ts while the two jobs contended for one transcode path, and playback stalled — reproducible against the server, where a second stream for a live job's item alternates between serving bytes and 400ing per attempt, which is what made it read as flaky rather than broken. begin_video_play_session mints a session id per open and reports the one it supersedes; the URL builder stops that job (DELETE /Videos/ActiveEncodings, un-retried and best-effort — a slow stop must not delay playback, and the new stream no longer collides either way) before returning. Placing it in the URL builder rather than in each caller means every re-open path is covered by construction. Two client faults made the same incident worse and are fixed with it: the fatal-HLS-error handler added the transcode seek offset to a position that already included it, so past roughly the halfway mark of a film any transient network error cleared the "near end" threshold and was reported as end-of-stream — turning a recoverable stall into a skip to the next item, exactly when a quality switch had just made the offset large; and the HTML5 reload primitive resolved on its own canplay timeout, so a reload the server never served reported success, leaving the picker showing a quality that was not playing and the caller with nothing to revert Playback UR-074, UR-004 Done
DR-178 Every position that leaves the app is read from the controller, not from a backend that may not be playing anything. PlayerController::position() forwards to the native backend, which is authoritative for exactly one of the three ways this app renders media. On the webview path — the shipping default for video on both platforms — nothing is loaded into that backend at all: the <video> element is the player, its ticks were re-emitted to the frontend and then dropped, and the backend answered 0 forever. During a background-audio handoff the base that converts the stream's relative timeline to the episode's is applied once at the native tick boundary (DR-159), so before ExoPlayer's first tick nothing has applied it and the reading is 0 there too. Both holes surfaced as the same user-visible bug through different doors: returning to the foreground while the audio-only transcode was still opening handed the frontend 0.0, and the video reloaded at StartTimeTicks=0 — the episode restarting from the beginning — while the Stopped report that followed wrote that zero to Jellyfin as the resume point. absolute_position() answers for all three paths: the maximum of the backend's reading, the last position webview-rendered media reported, and the handoff base. The maximum is exact rather than a heuristic, because at most one term is ever meaningful at a time and the base is a floor the stream cannot physically be behind. duration() gains the same fallback for the same reason. The element's reading is cleared wherever it stops being the player — teardown, a handoff taking over, a different item loading — so it can never be attributed to what plays next Player UR-005, UR-025, UR-040 Done (pending device verification)
DR-179 Jellyfin is told what was played: progress while it plays, and a stop when it ends. A device trace of 35 minutes' playback requested /Sessions/Playing/Progress zero times and sent 14 Stopped reports, every one of them at position 0. Three faults, one subject. Progress never left the device: the frontend service writes it to the local DB by design, and nothing on the Rust side reported it for webview-rendered media — so the server learned a position only when the player was closed, and a crash or a swipe-away cost the session. It is now reported from the controller's own position ticks, through the 30s throttler it already owned and shares with the native audio path, which covers all three rendering paths in one place instead of adding a second frequent IPC caller. Zero-position stops were sent: Jellyfin stores the reported position as the resume point, so a zero does not merely fail to inform, it instructs the server to forget — and no zero was ever real, each one coming from asking a player that was not rendering the media (see DR-178). They are withheld; one landed 40s after the frontend had correctly reported 15:22 for the same episode, overwriting it. A finished episode reported nothing at all: Jellyfin decides "watched" from the stop report and its percentage, and in background audio-only mode nobody sends one — the webview is suspended and its element was torn down at the handoff, while the backend advances to the next episode without a word about the one that ended, so an episode listened to end-to-end on the lockscreen never counted as watched. on_playback_ended now reports it stopped at its runtime (not the last tick, which can be seconds short or, on a handoff whose ticks stopped early, nowhere near the end) before any advance, since after one the queue's current item is the next episode. Scoped to the audio-only handoff, the case the frontend provably cannot cover, so foreground playback keeps its single existing report; music ending natively remains unreported and wants its own change. The reporting seam is a PlaybackReportSink the controller sends to, which also collapses three copies of the spawn-a-task-and-hope block into one and is what let all of this be written as failing tests rather than found on a device a second time Player UR-025, UR-005, UR-040 Done (pending device verification)
DR-180 A background-audio handoff of a downloaded episode starts where the video left off. The handoff prefers a local file over the audio-only stream (DR-128), but the two begin in different places and were treated alike: a stream is built with StartTimeTicks, so the server makes the handoff point that stream's zero and the base is the handoff position with no seek — while a file has no such parameter and begins at the episode's own zero, so basing it at the handoff position claimed minutes of audio that were about to play from the beginning. Backgrounding a downloaded episode therefore restarted it while the lockscreen scrubber, dutifully adding the base, showed the position it should have been at. background_audio_plan splits the two: a file gets no base and a real seek, a stream keeps the base and no seek (seeking one would skip past the content by the handoff position again). The same distinction settles an inbound seek — seek_absolute re-opens a streamed handoff at the requested position because a chunked length-less transcode cannot honour a seek, which is not true of local media, and resume_stream_at refuses a non-remote source outright, so routing a lockscreen scrub of a downloaded episode through it failed the seek rather than performing it Player UR-040, UR-071 Done (pending device verification)
DR-181 A resumed transcode plays. Every video stream URL carried the resume position as StartTimeTicks, which is correct for a progressive response and fatal for an HLS one: Jellyfin builds each segment URI by echoing the master playlist's query string into it, and its segment handler opens by rejecting any request carrying StartTimeTicks > 0 (ArgumentException400). One position on the playlist therefore 400s every hls1/main/N.ts behind it, so hls.js exhausted its retries and gave up — presenting as an episode that will not resume while the same episode from the beginning is fine, the > 0 being exactly why the beginning survived. The parameter is also unnecessary there: a playlist spans the whole item and asking for segment N is the seek, which the server transcodes from. So it is removed from the URL builder entirely rather than conditionalised — the builder has one caller shape and no way to know whether the response will be segmented — and the position becomes what it always was for HLS, a seek issued once the player has loaded: the seek path reloads at zero and seeks the element, and the resume path lets the player seek itself. The progressive /Audio/universal builder used by the background-audio handoff is a different endpoint with no segments and keeps its StartTimeTicks, which is why an audio-only handoff resumes correctly and a video one did not Playback UR-004, UR-074 Done
DR-182 Native video shows a picture. The poster/title card is an opaque bg-black overlay drawn over the whole video area while isMediaReady is false, and every signal that clears it is emitted by the HTML5 <video> element — canplay, loadedmetadata, hls.js FRAG_BUFFERED, the playing event, and two readyState timeouts. The native path renders no such element ({#if !!useHtml5Element}), so on Android nothing could ever clear it: ExoPlayer decoded to a live SurfaceView behind a black div for the entire session. That is DR-172's "audio with no picture" report, and it is indistinguishable on screen from the compositing failure DR-172 attributed it to — which is why the flag was reverted rather than fixed. Both the overlay and the native branch date from the original POC commit, so the native path has never been able to reveal itself; the 2026-08-11 device verification predates neither and does not contradict this, since a spike run that never reached a steady state would not have shown it. The backend's own events are the equivalent signals and nativeSignalRevealsVideo is the rule for reading them: state === "playing" mirrors the element's playing event, and a position tick carrying a real position or duration mirrors the readyState backstops, covering a first state event that is dropped or arrives before the listener is attached. buffering/paused/stopped/error deliberately do not qualify — revealing on error would replace the title card with a transparent hole showing the launcher through the app. The rule is a pure module rather than a branch inside the component because the decision that was missing is exactly the part worth guarding, and the component needs a DOM and a mounted player to exercise UI UR-003, UR-004, UR-041 Done
DR-183 The JavaScript bridges are installed before the page that uses them loads. WebView binds an injected object into JS at page-load time: an addJavascriptInterface call landing after the page has loaded does not appear to that page. They were installed from configureWebViewForMedia, which finds the WebView by walking the view tree 500 ms after onCreate — a race against Tauri's own page load, and one that is permanent when lost, because the identity guard added for DR-097's stale-proxy bug then declines to re-inject on every later resume pass. The whole set (AndroidVideoSurface, AndroidPictureInPicture, AndroidBackgroundAudio, AndroidNetworkType, AndroidImmersive, AndroidInsets) would simply be absent from window, and silently: every call site optional-chains the bridge, so a missing one is a no-op rather than an error. This is a candidate explanation for DR-172's other piece of evidence — WebView transparent = false logged, = true never appearing, i.e. the enable call never reaching Kotlin at all. WryActivity.setWebView() calls the onWebViewCreate hook immediately before wry issues the first loadUrl (confirmed in wry 0.55's main_pipe.rs, where the setWebView JNI call precedes load_url), so a bridge installed there is bound by the time any page runs. The hook can fire during super.onCreate(), before the rest of our own onCreate, so only work needing nothing but the WebView moves into it — insets stay in configureWebViewForMedia, which runs later and on every resume. The tree-walk path is kept as a fallback, and enableNativeVideoCompositing now logs an explicit error when the bridge is missing, so the ambiguity that left DR-172 unresolved cannot recur silently Android UR-003, UR-004, UR-040, UR-041 Done
DR-184 The video SurfaceView leaves the view hierarchy when the video does. VideoOverlayManager.detachVideoSurface had no callers anywhere in the tree — the mirror of the DR-151 defect, where setActivity had none — so attachVideoSurface was one-way: JellyTauPlayer.clearVideoSurface() dropped its surfaceView reference and cleared ExoPlayer's without removing the view, leaving it parented to the content view for the life of the process, with the next native video adding another SurfaceView beneath it. The stack was invisible while the WebView was opaque, which is why it went unnoticed. Two consequences outlive the leak: isVideoSurfaceAttached() gates PictureInPictureManager.canEnterPip through isNativeVideoPath(), so it reported an attached surface forever after the first native video (saved from offering PiP over nothing only by the isPlayingVideo() check beside it), and every abandoned surface held its OnLayoutChangeListener on the content view. Detach is called from clearVideoSurface, which covers stop, the switch to audio, and the background-audio handoff, and always runs on the main thread because every caller is already inside a mainHandler.post. It removes the view from its own parent rather than looking the content view up from an Activity reference, so an Activity recreated underneath it cannot strand the view Android UR-003, UR-041 Done
DR-185 The app shell stops painting over the video surface. app.css clears the page's opaque layers for native video through three selectors, and one of them — html[data-native-video="active"] [data-app-shell] — was written against an attribute no component has ever set, in any commit. The shell is +layout.svelte's root div, which paints --color-background across the entire viewport; VideoPlayer is fixed inset-0 z-50 and correctly makes itself transparent on the native path, but it stacks above the shell, so the WebView still composited the shell's opaque background over the whole screen and the SurfaceView behind it could never be seen. This is the missing half of the compositing DR-172 went looking for: the spec's own layer table lists this layer as "cleared by data-native-video → app.css", which was written but never wired, and html/body being genuinely transparent made the CSS look correct in isolation. The failure is invisible three ways over — the CSS is valid, the selector is plausible, and a rule matching nothing looks exactly like a rule matching something already transparent — while the symptom (black screen, audio fine) is identical to a real compositing failure, which is how it survived DR-150 through DR-172. Fixed by setting the attribute the rule was written for, and guarded by asserting the relationship rather than the rule: every attribute the compositing block targets must be set somewhere in the app, so a selector aimed at nothing fails the suite instead of failing silently on a device UI UR-003, UR-004, UR-041 Done
DR-186 The play overlay comes down when the backend plays. isPlaying was assigned once from the player_play_item response and thereafter only by the player://state-changed listener — a channel the backend never emits, the same dead wire that DR-182's first fix was mistakenly hung on. On the native path the flag therefore froze at whatever the initial response said: with ExoPlayer playing, the UI still believed it was paused, so the bg-black/30 play-button overlay stayed raised across the whole video area and the transport button kept showing ▶. The video was simultaneously dimmed and covered while it played, which reads as "the overlay never goes away" and is easily mistaken for a second compositing fault. The mirror reads the same player store playerEvents.ts feeds, which is what the architecture already says is authoritative — the player reports state, the UI consumes it — and is gated to the native path so HTML5 keeps its element-event wiring, which is authoritative there UI UR-003, UR-005 Done
DR-187 The system bars go away with the player, not only with the fullscreen button. enterImmersive() had exactly one caller, toggleFullscreen(), so opening the player left the status and navigation bars painted over it until the user pressed a button most never press. On the native path this is worse than cosmetic: the SurfaceView fills the content view, so the bars sit directly on top of the video. The player is a full-screen surface by construction — fixed inset-0 z-50 over a MATCH_PARENT surface — so entry is the right moment. Called synchronously in onMount before any await, per the native-mode pitfall, and paired with the exitImmersive() already unconditional in onDestroy, so a player torn down while immersive cannot leave the rest of the app without bars UI UR-066, UR-003 Done
DR-188 Native Android video is ready to be the default except for the background-audio handoff, and the flip therefore waits. The picture defects behind DR-172 are all found, fixed and device-verified — DR-185 (the app shell painted over the surface through a CSS rule targeting an attribute nothing set), DR-182 (nothing could lift the poster card on a path with no <video> element), DR-183 (the JS bridges raced the page load, so setTransparent(true) could never arrive), DR-184 (the SurfaceView was never detached), plus DR-186 and DR-187, the two UI defects only this path could reveal. On a device logcat now carries WebView transparent = true and Marking media ready with video on screen, which is the pair DR-172 went looking for and could not find, and skip, seek and rotation were exercised by hand. Turning the default on then surfaced a different unverified sub-path: the background-audio handoff could only return through the HTML5 element, so coming back from the lockscreen left playback dead, and the flip waited for that rather than shipping a verified sub-path over an unverified one as DR-161 had. The default is now on. The two defects holding it back are fixed and device-verified — DR-196 (the handoff return restarts the renderer that is actually on screen) and DR-194 (the letterbox bars are painted rather than retaining stale framebuffer content) — with the evidence this default has been held to since DR-161: an audio handoff at 69:54 returning to video playing at 70:18, and clean bars across playback, the control bar and a rotation round-trip. An explicit stored choice still wins in both directions, so an opt-out survives the flip (the stored value is null-checked rather than compared to "true", which would have silently re-enabled it for everyone who turned it off) Android UR-003, UR-004 Done
DR-189 The control bar comes down on a touchscreen. Its hide timer was armed from exactly one place — the player container's onmousemove — and a touchscreen never fires mousemove, so on Android the bar was never scheduled to hide and sat over the video for the whole film. It went unnoticed for as long as the native video surface was itself invisible (DR-172/DR-185): with nothing behind it to obscure, a permanent control bar reads as the UI rather than as a defect. Two changes, because there were two faults. revealControls() replaces handleMouseMove and is called on entry and on every touch interaction as well as on mouse movement, so touch arms the countdown. And the countdown became an $effect over the state rather than a one-shot timer armed by the input event: the first attempt armed a timer on entry, three seconds later playback had not started, shouldHideControls correctly declined, and nothing ever re-armed it — the timer has to follow the conditions that permit hiding, which arrive on their own schedule. The decision itself is shouldHideControls in controlsVisibility.ts, pure and separated from the clock and the DOM, because what was wrong here was the conditions and not the setTimeout: the bar stays up while paused (a user who paused by tapping the surface has no other way back), mid-seek (the position readout is the point of the bar then), and while any track/subtitle/quality menu is open (the menus are anchored to the bar, so hiding it would take the open menu with it) UI UR-003, UR-066 Done
DR-191 Forcing the WebView overlay to redraw from the Activity, because with the ExoPlayer SurfaceView beneath it the overlay's ordinary damage stopped reaching the screen: the page kept mutating — the clock text every second, the control bar's opacity going to 0 — while the display held whatever frame it last presented, over video that animated perfectly. Not a state defect; the live DOM showed the slider advancing 476 → 479 across three seconds behind a screen showing neither. Only structural changes got through, which is why the play overlay always appeared to work (an {#if} block, added and removed) while the progress bar never did, and why rotation lost the transport UI. A CSS animation cannot help, since opacity animates on the compositor without repainting the layer. Superseded by DR-192: this drove postInvalidateOnAnimation in a loop, which treats the symptom — the cause is the SurfaceView's separate layer, and removing that removes the need. Kept as the record of how the mechanism was identified Android UR-003, UR-004 Superseded by DR-192
DR-195 Play/pause works on the native path, because the frontend stops claiming a webview element is playing when there is none. html5_playing is Rust's record of "a webview <video> is active and in this state", and toggle_playback, play and pause all route transport to that element whenever it is set. The player route mirrored element state into it unconditionally — from handleReportStart and, fatally, from handleReportProgress, which VideoPlayer calls on a 10-second interval — so on the native path the frontend re-declared every ten seconds that an element was playing when none existed, and every transport intent was emitted into the void. The pause button was dead from the on-screen tap, from the control bar, and from a direct player_toggle invocation, while seek and skip kept working because player_seek_video decides elsewhere; that asymmetry is the signature. It also explains the flashing, since the control bar and the JRay overlay both key off isPlaying, which was being contradicted on every interval tick. DR-193 clearing the flag at load was necessary but insufficient on its own — the interval put it straight back. The mirror now lives in mirrorElementStateToRust in VideoPlayer, gated on useHtml5Element, which is the only place that knows whether an element renders at all; the route cannot tell the two paths apart, which is precisely how it came to lie. Confirmed on device by ADB: surface tap and control bar each pause (position frozen across repeated samples, transport label flipped) and resume Playback UR-005, UR-003 Done
DR-196 Returning from background audio brings the picture back on the native path, because the return now restarts the renderer that is actually on screen. The two paths resume by different means: the webview <video> reloads off its stream URL, watched by an $effect that reinitialises HLS and lets canplay drive the seek — while ExoPlayer owns no element and nothing watches the URL on its behalf, so its playback is only ever started by an explicit player_play_item + adapter load, issued once from onMount. exitBackgroundAudioHandoff did only the URL assignment, for both paths, so on the native path it restarted nothing: player_exit_background_audio had already stopped the handoff's audio player, leaving the backend holding no item at all. The symptom is a black screen with a play overlay pinned at 0:00, a seek bar at zero, and a play button that does nothing — the process alive and the frontend still logging, since nothing crashed; the transition was simply dropped. The branch is decided by planHandoffReturn (pure, in backgroundAudioHandoff.ts), which also folds in shouldResumeOnForeground so a lockscreen pause during the handoff still wins over the snapshot taken on the way out. Subtitle configurations are reused from the ones resolved at mount, since ExoPlayer sideloads them as MediaItem.SubtitleConfigurations and cannot accept one after prepare(). Verified on device: handoff to audio at 69:54, return restored video playing at 70:18 Playback UR-040, UR-003 Done
DR-197 Continue Watching and Next Up stop showing the same episode. Jellyfin's /Shows/NextUp defaults EnableResumable=true, which returns a partially-watched episode as its own series' next up — precisely the episode /Items/Resume already returns — so the Home "Next Episode" row and the TV landing's Next Up row duplicated Continue Watching card for card. build_next_up_endpoint sends EnableResumable=false, and because servers predating that parameter ignore it, filterInProgressNextUpItems also drops any next-up entry whose id appears in the resume list. It is the mirror of DR-089 and lives beside it: same presentation-layer de-duplication over two lists the frontend already holds, no Jellyfin taxonomy involved. The resume filter still reads its frontier from the unfiltered Next Up list, so removing in-progress entries cannot resurrect a stale resume card. The division is then exact: Continue Watching offers episodes the viewer has started and not finished, Next Up offers the episode after the ones they finished Repository UR-059 Done
DR-200 The lockscreen notification is exempt from POST_NOTIFICATIONS, because of the session token, not because it belongs to a foreground service — and the difference is what the code now records. POST_NOTIFICATIONS was declared in the manifest and requested nowhere, so on Android 13+ it sat permanently denied; an audit read that as a threat to UR-006, since the media notification is what carries the lockscreen transport controls. It is not. Android's own wording is that the permission covers "non-exempt (including Foreground Services (FGS)) notifications", with denied users seeing FGS notices "in the Task Manager but [not] in the notification drawer" — so an FGS notification is explicitly not exempt — while separately "Notifications related to media sessions are exempt from this behavior change". The platform predicate is Notification.isMediaNotification(), which requires MediaStyle and a non-null EXTRA_MEDIA_SESSION, and it is byte-identical across API 3336. NotificationManagerService uses it to decide whether to drop the post, and SystemUI's media carousel (MediaDataProcessor.onNotificationAdded) is gated on the same predicate — so a token-less notification is not merely absent from the shade, it never reaches the notification listener and the lockscreen/Quick-Settings controls do not exist at all. Confirmed on device (HONOR ROD2-W09, Android 16 / SDK 36): appops POST_NOTIFICATION: ignore, granted=false, and the service simultaneously isForeground=true with foregroundNoti=Notification(category=transport actions=3 vis=PUBLIC). So no runtime permission request is added — a prompt the app does not need is a prompt that can be permanently denied for nothing — and no checkSelfPermission gate is placed on startForeground, which would trade a cosmetic problem for the "did not then call Service.startForeground()" kill. What is added is the guard that matches the real precondition: mediaSessionCompat?.sessionToken is a null-safe call, and the exemption hangs entirely on it, so both builders now bind the token once and log an error if it is ever null while the permission is denied — converting a failure that is invisible unless the tester happened to deny the permission (most grant it reflexively) into a logcat line. The manifest declaration is kept, unrequested, and documented: media3 does not need it (media3-session declares no permissions and the MediaSessionService guide asks only for the two FOREGROUND_SERVICE ones), but the exemption covers media and self-managed-call notifications only, so a download-completion notice (UR-011) would be an ordinary notification and silently dropped — keeping the declaration is what makes adding one a one-file change Android UR-006 Done
DR-201 A lockscreen skip means different things depending on what is playing, and the backend decides which. onSkipToNext/onSkipToPrevious forwarded a bare "next"/"previous" to Rust, which always advanced the queue — correct for music, wrong for a video whose audio is running through a background-audio handoff (UR-040), where the buttons should scrub. Pressing skip to re-hear a line jumped to the next episode instead. resolve_skip_action in player/seek.rs maps the command to either Advance or SeekTo, and is_background_audio_active() is the whole test: the handoff exists only for video, and an episode played through it reports MediaType::Audio, so media type cannot distinguish the case. Forward jumps 30s, back 10s — asymmetric because the back button replays dialogue just missed rather than travels — and both clamp to [0, duration], since a negative offset is rejected by backends and a seek past the end reads as EOF and would advance, the very outcome being prevented. Routed through the same spawn-then-seek_absolute path as the scrubber, because a handoff seek re-opens the stream and must not run under the blocking lock (DR-159). The Kotlin keeps sending the same opaque command; only the PlaybackStateCompat gains ACTION_FAST_FORWARD/ACTION_REWIND so the system draws seek affordances rather than skip arrows that lie about what they do Playback UR-040, UR-006 Done
DR-202 Video keeps the display awake. Android counts its display timeout from the last user input, and watching something is exactly the case where there is none, so the screen dimmed and slept mid-film unless the user kept tapping it. Nothing held it: FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON appeared nowhere in the app, and neither renderer supplies a hold for free — ExoPlayer's setWakeMode is a CPU/wifi wake lock that says nothing about the display, and it draws into the TextureView this app owns (DR-192) rather than media3's PlayerView, which is the widget that would otherwise set keepScreenOn itself; the WebView <video> path is no better, because the display wake lock Chrome takes for video lives in the browser layer and not in an embedded WebView. ScreenWakeManager toggles FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON on the Activity window — window-scoped, so it stops applying the moment the app is not visible and cannot outlive a crash the way an explicitly acquired PowerManager.WakeLock can, and it needs no permission (the manifest's WAKE_LOCK is the media service's). The two rendering paths are independent holders OR-ed in the pure ScreenWakeState: the native path follows onIsPlayingChanged plus surface teardown, so the hold tracks what ExoPlayer reports rather than what the UI intends, and the webview path reuses the setHtml5VideoState report the frontend already sends for PiP (DR-160) rather than adding a bridge. Audio is deliberately not a holder — playing music with the screen off is the point of that path — so the hold is gated on the media type being video, and it is dropped on pause, on stop, on surface teardown, and on a new WebView, since a page that goes away never sends its own final active = false. Also the repo's first Kotlin JVM unit tests: ScreenWakeState is framework-free so the decision is testable off-device with ./gradlew :app:testUniversalDebugUnitTest. Verified on device (FP5, native path): IS PLAYING CHANGED: truekeepScreenOn = true 17 ms later and fl=KEEP_SCREEN_ON on the window in dumpsys, a pause releasing it and the resume re-taking it. The webview path is unverified Android UR-003, UR-004 Done
DR-203 The background-audio handoff stops silently rewinding to the point it started. A player retry is only a retry if it can resume where the load failed, and ExoPlayer decides that in ProgressiveMediaPeriod.configureRetry: it keeps the load position when the content length is known or the extractor produced a seek map with a duration, and otherwise assumes the source is live — the data at the URL is taken to have changed, so every sample queue is reset and the URL is re-requested from offset 0. The handoff transcode (/Audio/{id}/universal?Container=mp3&TranscodingProtocol=http, DR-129) satisfies neither condition: chunked, so no Content-Length, and a live mp3 encode carries no Xing header, so the duration is unset — on device every position tick reads <position> / 0.0. Its URL carries StartTimeTicks = the handoff point, so "from offset 0" is the handoff point, and after any transient load error playback resumed there and ran on normally. Nothing was reported: a successful retry raises no error and no STATE_ENDED, so neither arm of DR-129 was ever consulted, no onPositionDiscontinuity handler existed, and the app's only trace of it was a position that went backwards — which is why it read as random, since it needs a network blip to land while a load is in flight rather than while the ~50s buffer covers it, and why it survived the two earlier fixes for the same symptom (DR-129's phantom end, DR-159's relative-timeline leak). The decision is Rust's: player_retry_restarts_stream marks a Remote audio-only video item, and loadWithMetadata carries the answer to Kotlin, where the pure StreamRetryDecision holds it for a DefaultLoadErrorHandlingPolicy subclass that returns C.TIME_UNSET — which makes onLoadError answer DONT_RETRY_FATAL before reaching configureRetry. The rewind therefore becomes a recoverable error, and recoverable_error_resume already knows what to do with one: re-open at the position playback actually reached, StartTimeTicks rewritten, with backoff and the shared attempt budget. Every other source keeps the player's retry, because a static file and an HLS playlist both declare their timeline and are resumed in place. A onPositionDiscontinuity handler is added for the log line alone, so a recurrence is visible rather than invisible — loud for DISCONTINUITY_REASON_INTERNAL, which is the rewind's own signature, and quiet for the backwards jump a resume's re-prepare legitimately makes. Reproduced and verified on device (FP5), same procedure both times: background-audio handoff, 60s to fill the buffer, a 45s radio outage, then watch. Before — the outage passed unnoticed and 3.5 minutes later, with nothing logged in between, BUFFERINGREADY → position 1165.4s840.3s, exactly the handoff base, no error and no STATE_ENDED; the same log line reports Media ready! Duration: -9.223372036854776E15, which is C.TIME_UNSET and the precondition itself. AfterLoad error on a stream that cannot be resumed in place — declining the player's retry at the outage, playback continuing undisturbed off the buffer for 69s (a fatal load error is only raised when the renderer next needs data), then ERROR_CODE_IO_NETWORK_CONNECTION_FAILEDre-opening at 785.6s in 2sREADY, playing on from 785.6s with no rewind in the following 7 minutes Playback UR-040, UR-004 Done
DR-199 The webview stops undoing the network security config. MainActivity.configureWebViewSettings set mixedContentMode = MIXED_CONTENT_ALWAYS_ALLOW together with allowFileAccess = true and allowContentAccess = true, which is a blanket cleartext opt-in reached by hand — exactly the thing network_security_config.xml exists to prevent and its own comment warns against (DR-138). Nothing needed any of the three. file:// is never loaded: cached thumbnails go through convertFileSrc, which on Android resolves to http://asset.localhost/… and is answered by wry's request interceptor rather than the filesystem, and downloaded media goes over the loopback HTTP server (DR-137), which exists precisely because the asset/file route cannot stream a large file. content:// is never loaded either — the manifest's FileProvider is for outbound share intents, not webview navigation. And mixed content never arises: Tauri serves the UI from http://tauri.localhost (use_https_scheme defaults false and is not set in tauri.conf.json), while both 127.0.0.1 and asset.localhost are loopback/.localhost origins that Chromium treats as potentially trustworthy, so they are not mixed content to begin with. A plain-HTTP remote Jellyfin server would be, but the network security config already rejects it before any mixed-content check runs — so ALWAYS_ALLOW bought nothing and only widened the hole. COMPATIBILITY_MODE rather than NEVER_ALLOW is a deliberate hedge and not the default — the platform default at targetSdk 21+ is NEVER_ALLOW — because none of this can be verified anywhere but a device, and compatibility mode keeps passive content (images) working if the analysis missed a path. allowFileAccess = false restores the targetSdk-30+ default; allowContentAccess = false is a genuine tightening (its default is true) and is the first thing to look at if something that used to render stops. The two files now cross-reference each other so the pair cannot drift apart again Security UR-071 Done (pending device verification)
DR-194 Stale pixels in the letterbox bars — the rotation "flash of the previous frame", a ghost control bar stranded in the top bar, each new clock digit drawn over the last (35:42 with the 1 still showing through the 2), and menus (sleep timer, quality) leaving their imprint behind. One cause for all of it: nothing painted the bars. The window surface is opaque (the theme is not translucent), and for an opaque surface HWUI deliberately does not clear the damaged region before replaying a frame — it assumes the view hierarchy covers every pixel. That hierarchy is window background → video TextureView → transparent WebView, and fitSurfaceToScreen sizes the TextureView to the letterboxed video rect, so the bars were the window background's alone to paint. setTransparent(true) cleared that background to TRANSPARENT, leaving the bars painted by nobody and whatever was last in the framebuffer surviving in them. Fixed by keeping the window background opaque black while compositing; the WebView's own background is what lets the video through, and the TextureView is drawn on top of the window background, so an opaque one cannot hide it. Three earlier fixes aimed at the window's rotation animation and at TextureView frame-retention (two postOnAnimation hops, an onSurfaceTextureUpdated reveal, then ROTATION_ANIMATION_JUMPCUT + FLAG_FULLSCREEN) all missed, because the pixels were never the animation's; the alpha-hiding among them made it worse by blanking the one view that reliably paints its own rect. Those are removed, FLAG_FULLSCREEN included — it fought edge-to-edge insets for no gain. Verified on device: ghosting reproduced with native video on, then absent after the fix, across playback, the control bar and a rotation round-trip Android UR-003, UR-066 Done
DR-193 Play/pause reaches the player that is actually rendering. toggle_playback, play and pause all route to the webview element when is_html5_active(), which is html5_playing.is_some() — a flag written only by the element's own state reports and cleared only when it reports "stopped"/"idle" (or on a background-audio handoff). An element that went away without that final report, or webview-rendered music earlier in the same process, therefore left the flag set, and on Android's native video path every transport intent was emitted as a ControlCommand at an element that no longer existed: the pause button did nothing, from the on-screen tap and from the control bar alike, while seek and skip kept working because player_seek_video decides elsewhere. Whether it happened at all depended on what had played before, which is exactly what made it read as flaky rather than broken. load_and_play — the native load path, and the one the HTML5 video path deliberately avoids via set_current_item — now clears the flag, because loading into the native backend is the statement that native renders this item. Nothing is lost on the webview path: an element re-establishes its own authority the moment it reports again, so this is the existing "element is gone" semantics applied where it can be known directly rather than inferred from a report that may never arrive Playback UR-005, UR-003 Done
DR-192 Native video presents through a TextureView, not a SurfaceView. A SurfaceView renders on its own layer outside the app window and punches a transparent region through it; everything drawn above that hole — for us the entire Svelte UI in a transparent WebView — depends on that composition path, and Android's own graphics documentation states that "overlays do not currently work correctly with SurfaceView or TextureView". The consequences were four symptoms of one cause (DR-191): a frozen progress bar, controls that would not fade, rotation losing the transport UI, and overlays that lingered after the DOM removed them. A TextureView is an ordinary view whose frames are drawn as a texture in the window's normal rendering pass, so there is no second layer and no transparent region, and the WebView above composites like it would over any other view — which is why media3 offers surface_type="texture_view" and why it is the standard remedy for ExoPlayer overlay problems. The trade is accepted rather than hidden: TextureView costs more power and memory than SurfaceView and adds a frame of latency, but hardware decode through MediaCodec is untouched, so the reason native video exists survives it. setVideoTextureView installs ExoPlayer's own SurfaceTextureListener, so the old SurfaceHolder.Callback wiring is deleted rather than ported — adding a listener of ours would displace it and the video would never appear. PiP needs no change, since a TextureView is a View and the aspect-ratio probe reads its measured bounds Android UR-003, UR-004, UR-041 Done
DR-190 The background-audio handoff can return to the native path. Everything that restores playback on the way back is written around the WebView <video>: applyPendingForegroundSeek returns early on !videoElement, the HLS re-init $effect returns early on !useHtml5Element, and pendingForegroundSeek/pendingForegroundPlay — which own the post-handoff position and play/pause — are consumed only by handleCanPlay and markMediaReady, an element event and a path that reaches the same guard. On the native path there is no element, so exitBackgroundAudioHandoff completes, clears handoffState, blanks and reassigns currentStreamUrl to force an effect that will not run, and nothing ever restarts ExoPlayer: the user returns from the lockscreen to a dead player. This never showed while the path was opt-in and its picture was invisible anyway. The return needs the native equivalent of the element reload — re-issue the item to the backend, seek to the position player_exit_background_audio reports, then honour wasPlaying — routed through the adapter rather than the element, so both paths restore through one contract Playback UR-040, UR-003 Superseded by DR-196
DR-161 Native video is the default, so picture-in-picture has a real surface. DR-160 makes PiP work on the HTML5 path, but that path can only ever shrink the UI into the PiP window; showing the video itself needs the SurfaceView behind the WebView, which is what experimentalNativeVideo gates. The flag now defaults to on when the user has never chosen, with an explicit stored choice still winning in both directions so anyone who turned it off keeps it off. This is a deliberate acceptance of risk: the flag existed because the native path was an unfinished spike, and VideoPlayer.scrubRegression.test.ts documents its history — a native init that flipped to HTML5 mid-lifecycle and left seeks going down one path while ExoPlayer played on another. Those tests pin the flag-off interim override (native response overridden to HTML5, backend stopped once), which the default no longer selects, so they now mock the flag off rather than inherit it: they still guard that path, but they no longer describe what ships. The native scrub/seek path is consequently not covered by the suite and needs device verification UI UR-041, UR-003 Needs device verification
DR-159 The background-audio handoff stops leaking its relative timeline. The handoff plays the episode as a relative stream — the audio-only URL is built with StartTimeTicks = the position the screen was locked at, so ExoPlayer's zero is the handoff point — and background_audio_base holds the offset that turns one back into a real position. The base was a display-only correction, applied in exactly two places (the lockscreen scrubber and the internal truncation maths) while every other consumer worked in the relative timeline treating the number as absolute. Each crossing threw away exactly base seconds, which is why the jump-back distance varied with where the screen was locked and read as random. Three crossings were live: progress reporting to Jellyfin sent the relative position every 30s, so the server was told real base — and since DR-155 now mirrors the server's position back and refreshes on a cache hit, that regressed value returned as the resume point (lock at 40 min, listen to 90, reopen at 50); lockscreen seeks went out absolute and came back relative, against a chunked length-less transcode that cannot honour a seek at all, so a clamped seek landed at stream zero; and media3's own seekToDefaultPosition/seekBack/seekForward bypassed the ForwardingPlayer wrapper entirely, reaching the real ExoPlayer — Util.handlePlayButtonAction seeking an ended player to the relative zero being the same mechanism as DR-129's truncation bug through a different door. The fix converts once, at the boundary: JellyTauPlayer's position tick adds the base (and shifts the duration with it, since the stream's own length is only what remains) before either nativeOnPositionUpdate or the lockscreen sees it, so position updates, progress reports, the frontend and the truncation check all speak the episode's timeline and none needs to know a handoff happened. The base is consequently removed from claim_stream_resume, truncated_stream_resume_position and player_exit_background_audio, where adding it now double-counts, and the lockscreen's positionOffsetMs addition goes with it (the field remains, read-only, as the tick's input). Inbound seeks go the other way: seek_absolute is the new boundary for every outside seek, re-opening the stream at the requested position via resume_stream_at when a handoff is active — which is what onSeekTo had claimed for months in a comment describing code that did not exist — and an ordinary seek otherwise. seekToDefaultPosition is swallowed rather than forwarded, since Rust already owns what "play after the stream ended" means and the play() that follows reaches it. Exit reads the position before clearing either base, or a tick landing in between hands back a relative one Player UR-040, UR-005, UR-025 Done (pending device verification)
DR-158 A watched toggle, on the episode row, the season header, the series and movie hero, and the Episode Focus View. Both halves of the backend already existed and neither had a caller: mark_played (POST /PlayedItems) was reachable only from the sync drain replaying rows the reporter had queued, and clear_watch_history (DELETE /PlayedItems) only from the destructive "erase this series' history" button — so the sole way to mark something watched was to play it. Jellyfin applies both recursively over a season or series, so the container case needs no client-side fan-out online. Offline it does: storage_set_watched writes the item and its descendants (drawn from items by parent_id/album_id/season_id/series_id, so an uncached id selects nothing and the statement no-ops instead of raising a foreign-key error), because otherwise marking a season watched with no server would tick the season and leave every episode inside it unwatched. It is deliberately separate from storage_mark_played, which stays the single-item "this finished playing" path that increments play_count. Un-marking clears the resume position as well as the flag, matching the server. QueuedOp::MarkUnplayed gives the queue the missing direction — pushing as clear_watch_history — so the toggle works offline both ways rather than only one; without it un-marking would have been the half that needed a connection. The button is an everyday toggle, so unlike ClearHistoryButton it does not confirm, and it holds an optimistic state because the caller's watched prop only catches up after a reload (a season means a round trip, during which the button would otherwise appear to ignore the tap) UI UR-073 Done
DR-157 Full-screen video on Android actually goes full screen. toggleFullscreen called document.documentElement.requestFullscreen() and nothing else, which inside an Android WebView does not touch the Activity window — it expands the element within a viewport that already spans the whole screen, because enableEdgeToEdge() is called in onCreate and SDK 36 ignores the opt-out. So the control did nothing visible while the status bar and navigation/gesture bar stayed painted over the video, and (unlike DR-112's chrome-clearance work, which is about reserving space for the bars) here the bars should not be there at all. ImmersiveModeBridge hides them via WindowInsetsControllerCompat with BEHAVIOR_SHOW_TRANSIENT_BARS_BY_SWIPE, so an edge swipe brings them back transiently over the video instead of resizing the window mid-playback, and the system's own gestures stay reachable. Exposed as the AndroidImmersive bridge and posted to the main thread, since @JavascriptInterface methods arrive on a WebView binder thread. requestFullscreen() is kept for the platforms where it does work, but its rejection is caught rather than allowed to abort the immersive call. Restoring is wired to three paths, not one: leaving fullscreen, Escape (which previously called document.exitFullscreen() directly, bypassing the flag and the bars), and onDestroy — the bars belong to the Activity, so a player torn down while immersive would strand every screen behind it without them. The --jt-inset-* properties need no special handling: hiding the bars fires the decor view's inset listener with zeroes and WindowInsetsBridge republishes them UI UR-066 Done
DR-143 Flipping the offline downloaded-only gate actually re-queries the listing. The gate (DR-078) is a process-wide flag in Rust consulted only while a query runs, but no library surface re-queried when its inputs changed: useServerReachabilityReload fires only on the offline → online transition, and GenericMediaListPage, GenericGenreBrowser and the favourites page never even called its checkServerReachability. So going offline left the full server catalog on screen under a now-closed gate, and toggling "Show all server media" only greyed cards — MediaCard.isServerOnly is a pure frontend derivation that updates instantly — without adding or removing a single row. The filter therefore read as "shows everything until I filter, then greys some of it" while the backend gate was correct and simply never exercised. catalogFilterVersion is the refetch signal: pushCatalogVisibility now awaits set_show_server_catalog and bumps the version only after the backend accepts the new flag, since a reload racing the push would re-query under the old gate and undo itself. A failed push clears lastIncludeCatalog instead of latching it, so the next identical transition is retried rather than skipped as a no-op and left permanently disagreeing with the backend. useOfflineFilterReload subscribes pages to that signal, skipping the value they already loaded under; it is wired into both generic list components and the movies/music/tv/favourites landing pages and the /library/[id] detail page UI UR-052 Done
DR-135 A download's media type comes from the item, not a default. download_item — the path a media card uses to queue an item while offline — never records media_type, and the reconnect resolver read that NULL as 'audio', so a movie queued from a card had its URL resolved by get_audio_stream_url. The file that landed on disk was an audio-only transcode, which is why a "downloaded" film could never play offline no matter how the path or protocol was fixed. The resolver now falls back to the item's own item_type (VIDEO_ITEM_TYPES in Rust, so the frontend never learns which types are video) and only defaults to audio when the item is not cached locally. An explicit media_type on the row still wins Downloads UR-071, UR-052 Done
DR-136 Rows already downloaded under the audio default are repaired, not just prevented. They are identifiable after the fact — no media_type, but a video item — so on reconnect they are reset to pending with their audio URL cleared and re-resolved by DR-135's corrected logic, overwriting the audio file in place. Without this the fix is invisible to anyone who had already queued a film: the row still reads "downloaded" and still fails to play. Rows carrying an explicit media_type and genuine audio downloads are left untouched Downloads UR-071 Done
DR-137 Local media is served to the player over a loopback HTTP server, not the asset protocol. Tauri's asset protocol answers a request carrying no Range header by reading the whole file into memory, and only advertises Accept-Ranges: bytes from inside its range branch — so the first request never learns ranges exist and a multi-gigabyte body is attempted instead. Chromium abandoned it with PIPELINE_ERROR_READ after ~31s, which reached the user as "downloaded video does not play offline". Real HTTP on 127.0.0.1 is chosen over a custom URI scheme deliberately: range support becomes a property of the transport rather than depending on whether a platform's webview forwards Range to a custom scheme. No response ever exceeds a 4 MiB chunk and bodies stream from the file handle, so memory is bounded regardless of file size. Because loopback is shared between apps on Android, the server binds 127.0.0.1 only and every URL carries a random per-session token; paths are additionally confined to the app data directory, so a leaked URL cannot read outside it. This is stage 1 of making the server the single media origin — remote passthrough and download-while-watching are deliberately out of scope here Playback UR-071 Done
DR-138 Loopback is exempted from Android's cleartext ban, and nothing else is. Release builds set usesCleartextTraffic="false", so the webview's request to the local media server (DR-137) was rejected by network security policy before any I/O — <video> failed in the same millisecond as loadstart, with NETWORK_NO_SOURCE and no server-side log at all, which is why it looked identical to a missing file. A network-security-config resource permits cleartext for 127.0.0.1 only and keeps base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="false", so a remote server must still be HTTPS; this is deliberately not a blanket opt-in. The manifest attribute is ignored once the config is present, so the config is the single authority. sync-android-sources.sh also had to learn to copy res/xml, which it skipped — the manifest references the resource, so a missed copy fails the resource link rather than degrading quietly Security UR-071 Done
DR-093 Traceability coverage gate derives its requirement denominators from requirements.md at run time rather than hardcoded literals: countDefinedRequirements counts an ID only where it leads a markdown table row (ignoring the "Traces To" column and prose) and deduplicates IDs listed both in the definition tables and in the §3 traceability matrix; computeCoverage reports the intersection of traced and defined IDs so an ID traced in code but absent from requirements.md is surfaced as orphaned instead of inflating the ratio past 100%. UT/IT test identifiers are excluded as a separate taxonomy. CI and bun run traces:coverage share this computation and fail on both a sub-threshold and an impossible >100% result Tooling - Done
DR-204 A leveled logging facade for the frontend, replacing raw console.* calls. One module owns the log sinks, so a level (error/warn/info/debug) decides at run time what is emitted rather than every call site deciding permanently at authoring time: a release build stays quiet, a developer chasing a playback bug turns the player's debug output on without editing and rebuilding, and nothing that reaches the console is written by a console.log nobody can find again. Scoped loggers carry the subsystem in the message, so a filtered console is usable while a player, a download worker and a store are all talking Tooling - Done
DR-205 ESLint + Prettier run as a gate over the frontend, so lint and formatting are decided once by configuration rather than per reviewer. Formatting is not a matter of opinion at review time, and the classes of bug a linter sees (unused bindings, floating promises, accidental globals) should never reach a human reviewer at all. Wired as an npm script so the same command runs locally and in CI, matching how check:boundary and the traceability gate already work Tooling - Done
DR-206 The Rust toolchain is pinned in-repo (rust-toolchain.toml) and the pin is what both a developer's machine and CI use. Without it, cargo fmt --check and cargo clippy are run by whatever version each host happens to have, so a formatting or lint result differs between a laptop and the builder image and CI fails on a diff that was clean locally — the failure mode is a red build nobody can reproduce. The builder image carries the pinned toolchain, so pinning is a declaration, not a CI-time install (see the no-toolchain-installs rule) Tooling - Done
DR-207 A pre-commit hook runs the "Before Committing" gates — frontend checks and tests, cargo fmt, clippy, the boundary tripwire and the traceability checks — so the gates are enforced at the commit rather than discovered in CI. The gates already exist and are already documented; what is missing is that nothing runs them, which makes compliance a matter of memory. The hook is the mechanism that makes the documented list actually binding Tooling - Done
DR-208 Documentation link integrity is checked mechanically (scripts/check-doc-links.sh): every relative markdown link in every tracked .md must resolve to a file that exists on disk. This is a real defect class, not hygiene — the generated traceability matrix shipped ~2,800 dead file links because it was written to docs/ while its hrefs were repo-root-relative, and nothing noticed for months because no check existed and nobody clicks 2,800 links. The check validates paths, deliberately not anchors or external URLs: anchor resolution needs a markdown renderer's slug rules and network checks make the gate flaky, so both are out of scope and stated as such in the script Tooling - Done
DR-209 Library folders are excluded from music browsing server-side, by folder id, replacing a hardcoded frontend filter that dropped anything whose name contained "Podcasts". The name filter was wrong in three separate ways: it encoded a domain classification in the presentation layer, it matched on a title rather than on what an item is (so an album legitimately called "Podcasts" vanished while a podcast folder named anything else did not), and it applied only where someone had remembered to call it, so the same library was in scope on one screen and out of scope on the next. Excluded folder ids are stored as user configuration and applied by the repository layer to every music query — libraries, artists, albums, genres, search and the home rows — so scope is decided in one place and is the same everywhere Repository UR-076 Done
DR-210 Thumbnail cache writes are confined to the cache directory. The filename was built from item_id, image_type and tag, but only tag was sanitised — and Path::join neither folds .. nor keeps the base when handed an absolute path, so a value arriving verbatim from server JSON decided where a file landed. The tag's existing rule (non-alphanumerics become _) now applies to all three parts, and the resolved path is checked with starts_with(cache_dir) at the point of use. The database keeps the raw key and the resolved path, so lookups still match and pre-existing rows still resolve. Not exploitable as shipped — server URLs must be HTTPS and Android blocks cleartext, so the id comes from a server the user chose to trust — the value is making the write path consistent with how caller-supplied paths are handled elsewhere Storage UR-012 Done
DR-211 Download paths are confined to the download root. file_path and target_dir reached PathBuf::join unchecked from the frontend, and mark_download_completed persisted a caller-supplied path later passed to remove_file. A correct sanitiser already existed and download_item_and_start used it, but download_item is itself a command accepting file_path raw, so the guard was bypassable rather than absent — the fix moves it inside instead of adding a second one. Sanitising is per path component: whole-string sanitising would rewrite downloads/x.mp3 to downloads_x.mp3 and relocate every existing download. Confinement happens after the join, since a join with an absolute second half discards the root Downloads UR-011 Done
DR-212 Query and URL construction bind or encode their inputs. Three sites interpolated caller-supplied values directly: the offline get_items item-type filter built IN ('a','b') by string formatting, build_get_items_endpoint wrote ParentId/IncludeItemTypes/SortBy/SortOrder into a URL unencoded, and player_set_volume accepted NaN and out-of-range floats. Each is a consistency defect rather than a novel one — the same file already did it correctly a few lines away (parameter placeholders in search, urlencoding::encode for genres, clamp in every player backend). List separators stay unencoded and encoding is per element, because Jellyfin splits these parameters on the comma Repository UR-007, UR-065 Done
DR-213 Containerised builds hand their artifacts back to the host user. The compose services bind-mount the repo and run as root — their caches live at /root/.cargo and /root/.bun, so a non-root container user cannot write them — which leaves root-owned files accumulating in the developer's working tree: 11,124 of them when this was found, enough that cargo clean and scripts/clean.sh failed with EACCES and a plain cargo build died part-way, since build scripts compile for the host and land in target/debug even during a cross-build. Ownership is restored at the end of each containerised build, reading the intended owner from the checkout so no uid needs plumbing through. Running the containers as the host uid is the tidier fix and remains open; it needs the cache volumes relocated off /root first Tooling - Done
DR-214 The app identifies itself correctly everywhere a user or a package manager reads its name. productName was the scaffold's lowercase jellytau, which is what the Android release build showed under its icon and what the deb/rpm/NSIS bundles carried as their display name — invisible in development because build.gradle.kts overrides the label to "JellyTau Debug" for the debug build type, so the install a developer looks at daily was the only correctly-cased one. mainBinaryName pins the executable filename so nothing that resolves a path by name has to change. strings.xml moves into the canonical android tree, where sync-android-sources.sh already copies res/values/*.xml, so the fix survives regenerating gen/. Bundle metadata (publisher, copyright, category, descriptions, licence) was entirely absent, which is why the packages shipped with no maintainer or description — the hand-written Arch PKGBUILD and .desktop had all of it, so only the generated packaging was wrong Packaging - Done
DR-215 Frontend test coverage is a ratcheted CI gate rather than a number nobody looks at. test:coverage had been configured since the suite was created and was silently broken: @vitest/coverage-v8 resolved to 4.1.10, whose peer range pins vitest exactly, while package.json asked for >=1.0.0 <5.0.0 and got 4.0.16 — so every invocation died on a missing BaseCoverageProvider export and no coverage figure had been produced in months. Fixing the range is half the requirement; the other half is that a measured figure that gates nothing decays the same way an unrun script does. Thresholds sit a few points under the measured result (statements 54.6, branches 48.7, functions 49.6, lines 55.1 when this landed) and only ever move up, matching MIN_THRESHOLD in the traceability gate and the eslint --max-warnings ratchet. The absolute numbers are held down by .svelte components, which this project deliberately does not test directly — the pattern is to extract the logic to a plain module and test that Tooling - Done
DR-216 Dependencies are gated on known vulnerabilities and on licence compatibility, and the build graph is pinned to what is actually shipped. The project had no scanning of any kind: nothing checked the ~500-crate Rust graph or the JS packages against an advisory feed, and nothing checked that everything redistributed inside an MIT-licensed bundle permits it. The first run found eight vulnerabilities and one unsoundness — bytes, four in rustls-webpki, time, two in quick-xml, rand — every one closed by a cargo update nobody had reason to run. cargo deny (src-tauri/deny.toml) now runs in CI over advisories, licences, bans and sources. Two structural fixes matter as much as the gate: the graph is scoped to the targets actually shipped, so an advisory against an Apple-only path is correctly absent rather than ignored by ID; and the one git dependency (libmpv) is pinned by revision instead of by branch, since a branch means any cargo update silently substitutes new upstream code in the one dependency that is unsigned and links a C library into the player. Licence findings are recorded rather than waved through — libmpv/libmpv-sys are LGPL-2.1, which the app satisfies by dynamic linking, and that carries obligations (keep the linkage dynamic; ship libmpv's licence text with any bundle carrying the .so) Tooling - Done
DR-217 In-app update, desktop only, over a manifest we control. tauri-plugin-updater and tauri-plugin-process are compiled for everything except Android/iOS — spelled as a target-triple cfg rather than cfg(desktop), which Cargo does not evaluate in a [target.'cfg(…)'] table and which therefore drops the dependency silently, surfacing much later as "Permission updater:default not found". The release workflow signs updater artifacts with a minisign key held in Gitea secrets and publishes latest.json to a dedicated updater branch, read over Gitea's raw-file URL: this instance serves /releases/download/<tag>/<asset> but returns 404 for /releases/latest/download/<asset>, so there is no stable latest-release URL to point at, and the docs branch is force-pushed by publish-docs.yml so it cannot host the manifest either. Bundle targets gain appimage, which the release notes had been advertising for months while tauri.conf.json never built it — the artifact step globbed for *.AppImage, found nothing, and said nothing Tooling UR-077 Done
DR-218 Persistent, redacted logging and a diagnostics export. tauri-plugin-log replaces the env_logger stdout-only init, giving a rotating 5 MB file, a webview target in dev, and — the single largest gain — logcat on Android, where env_logger's stdout went nowhere. Redaction runs in the log formatter, not at export: a credential in a file on the device is already a disclosure, so stripping it on the way out would be too late; the exporter redacts a second time to cover files written by older builds. api_key/X-Emby-Token/Authorization/"AccessToken"/Token="…" all reduce to [REDACTED] while host, item ids and filenames are deliberately kept — a bundle scrubbed of those is one nobody can debug from. The server URL is reduced to scheme and host, dropping any embedded user:pass@. The panic hook chains to the previous hook rather than replacing it, because utils/lock.rs installs a silencing hook around tests that provoke poisoned locks on purpose. The chosen level persists to disk and is re-applied at startup, since reproducing a bug usually means restarting into it. The frontend facade keeps its untouched console.* pass-through (DR-204) and additionally forwards a stringified copy at info and above, so one file holds both halves of the app in order — which is what makes a race between them legible after the fact Tooling UR-078 Done
DR-219 Release notes are the reviewed CHANGELOG entry, not a generated draft. Every release from v0.0.1 to v0.9.1 published the same ~1,050 bytes of generic install instructions whose "What's New" section said "See CHANGELOG.md" — a link that does not resolve from a release page. Thirty-five releases, byte-identical, telling a reader nothing about what changed. The workflow now publishes the ## <version> section of CHANGELOG.md and fails the release if that section is absent, since notes that say nothing are worse than a build that waits for two sentences. release:notes is printed into the job log as a drafting aid but is deliberately not published: CLAUDE.md calls its output "a reviewed draft, not a final changelog", and publishing it unreviewed proved why — a range containing a repo-wide formatting sweep resolved to nearly the entire requirement matrix and produced notes claiming one release had added the whole application. The script now skips cosmetic commits (chore(format), chore(deps), style) when deriving a range's files, and says how many it skipped rather than silently reporting a smaller set Tooling - Done
DR-220 A release ships only its own artifacts. src-tauri/target/*/release/bundle/ is not versioned, cargo never cleans it, and the CI runner reuses the target directory — so the copy step's bundle/**/*-setup.exe glob collected every installer ever built there. Every release from v0.1.0 to v0.8.2 shipped its predecessors': sixteen Windows installers on v0.8.2, thirteen of them stale, and a download list on v0.5.0 reaching back to 0.1.0. It went unnoticed for eight months because there was nothing to notice — the upload loop reported success, the files were real, and the page looked busy rather than wrong. It stopped only when an unrelated cache change wiped the runner's target dir, leaving the defect dormant rather than fixed. Both desktop builds now clear the bundle directory first, so a stale file cannot exist to be copied — filtering the copy by version would have hidden it instead. scripts/check-release-artifacts.sh is the backstop for the next route nobody predicts: it runs before the SBOM, the checksums and the upload, and refuses to publish when any artifact's embedded version disagrees with the tag Tooling - Done
DR-221 The release path is exercised before a tag exists. Nothing in build-and-test.yml runs tauri build — only a tag does — so a whole class of breakage was invisible until release day, and two instances of it were sitting on master at once. Tauri refuses to build when a plugin's Rust crate and npm package differ by minor version, which the updater and logging work had introduced (tauri-plugin-log 2.8.0 against @tauri-apps/plugin-log 2.9.0) while cargo check, clippy, the tests and svelte-check all passed; both sides are now pinned exactly rather than by caret, since a caret is what let them separate, and CI runs tauri info to compare them without building. The AppImage target had never once been built: linuxdeploy carries a strip too old to parse the .relr.dyn section modern toolchains emit, so bundling failed on every library — and Ubuntu 23.10+ links with -z pack-relative-relocs by default, so the builder image fails the same way a modern Arch host does. NO_STRIP=true is linuxdeploy's documented escape hatch; the cost is a larger, unstripped bundle. Both were found by building the target locally before tagging rather than by publishing a release that could not build Tooling - Done
DR-222 Build tooling matches the package manager the project declares. scripts/build-android.sh ran npm install on its clean-build path — in a bun project, where packageManager says bun and bun.lock is the committed lockfile. npm ignores that lockfile, re-resolves the whole tree from package.json, and writes a package-lock.json that .gitignore then hides. That is not a style preference: the JS halves of the Tauri plugins are pinned exactly against Cargo.lock because the CLI refuses to build when a plugin's crate and package differ by minor version, and a silent re-resolve is precisely how they drift apart. It survived because clean builds are rare — the shape shared by nearly every defect found preparing v0.10.0, where the code running on every commit was healthy and the code running on a release, a tag or a clean build had no guard at all. scripts/check-tooling.sh fails on any npm/yarn/pnpm invocation or foreign lockfile Tooling - Done
DR-223 The Android JavaVM and Application are published into ndk_context by this crate, not by a transitive dependency. Seven call sites (five in credentials.rs, two in lib.rs) read that process-global to reach JNI, and nothing here ever set it — tao did, three levels below anything this project names in Cargo.toml. tao 0.35.3 moved those pointers into a private struct and stopped publishing them, so the Tauri 2.11 upgrade made the first credential read abort the process on every launch: PANIC ... android context was not initialized. Our code had not changed; an undocumented side effect of the windowing layer had gone. The invariant is now owned here rather than assumed: JNI_OnLoad captures the JavaVM as the shared library loads, and the Application is resolved lazily via ActivityThread.currentApplication() and pinned as a global reference for the process lifetime — the Application rather than the Activity, since that is what SecureStorage.initialize() immediately reduces its argument to. Failure degrades to the encrypted-file credential path and is logged, rather than aborting. Found only by installing on a device: nothing in CI runs the app Security UR-012 Done
DR-224 StreamSelection replaces the bare URL returned for playback: URL, Transport (hls / progressive / localFile), PlaybackKind (directPlay / directStream / transcode), the negotiated Rendition, the ladder this source can offer, and a needs_transcoding flag derived in Rust so "which kinds count as transcoding" is answered once. Both enums are serde-tagged ({"type":"hls"}) so the frontend matches a discriminant rather than comparing text. The field that mattered most is transport: VideoPlayer.svelte chose its loader with url.includes(".m3u8") in two places, a domain fact reconstructed in the presentation layer — the same class of error as leaking item-type taxonomy, and one that fails silently in both directions (a progressive file served from a path containing the substring gets an HLS loader; a playlist served from one without it does not). The paths that never negotiate — a downloaded file, a live channel — get the same shape from Rust (media_local_selection, LiveStreamInfo.transport) rather than having the page assemble one, so there is no second place where a transport is decided Playback UR-079 Done
DR-225 The bandwidth ceiling is two-level: a durable device default (Settings, persisted, restored at startup) and a per-playback override the in-player picker sets. The picker's own documentation had called it a "this film, this connection" control since it was written, but it was implemented by writing the process-wide default — so dropping one awkward film to 2 Mbps silently capped every video played afterwards for the rest of the process, while the Settings screen still displayed the old value and nothing in the UI admitted the change. The override is cleared whenever playback moves to a new item, which is what keeps it from surviving into an autoplayed next episode where nobody would reopen the picker. effective_streaming_quality() is the single resolution point; every URL builder and the PlaybackInfo negotiation go through it, because a negotiation that authorises a direct play the URL builder then constrains (or the reverse) leaks the cap Playback UR-074, UR-079 Done
DR-226 The quality picker is filled from what this media source can offer, not from the fixed eight-rung enum. Rust marks each rung exceeds_source when its ceiling is at or above the source's own bitrate — such a rung produces the same bytes as Original, so offering it is another way to spell one choice — and the frontend simply does not draw those. Original is never marked (it is the source) and a source whose bitrate the server does not report (the sampled library has avi files with none) marks nothing redundant, keeping every rung offered, which is the safe direction. The picker also shows what the server is actually doing with the stream, which only became knowable once PlaybackKind existed. Labels and detail lines come from Rust beside the numbers they describe, so a relabelled rung cannot drift out of step with what it does UI UR-070, UR-079 Done
DR-227 Direct play and direct stream are negotiated rather than assumed away. get_video_stream_url always built an HLS transcode URL, so every video play burned server CPU even when the file would have played untouched. The decision now comes from PlaybackInfo under the device profile and the ceiling in force, with two client-side overrides applied on top because the server's answer is right about the file and wrong about what this app will do with it: undecodable audio (Jellyfin 10.11.5 honours a DirectPlayProfile's container and video codec but ignores its audio codec, so it offers direct play for an E-AC-3 track the webview renders in silence) and a viewer-pinned audio track the source file does not default to. Measured against the development server over a 400-item sample: 85% direct play on the Android profile, 7% on the Linux one — the library is ~80% hevc and WebKitGTK can only claim h264, so the Linux figure is a property of the renderer, not of this code, and is what linux-native-video-spike.md exists to change. A direct stream is a remux and is deliberately not counted as transcoding Playback UR-079 Done
DR-228 Mid-playback re-negotiation on throughput was scoped and dropped on measurement. The premise — that hls.js gives this app real adaptive bitrate and mpv would lose it — does not hold: a master playlist from the development server carries exactly one EXT-X-STREAM-INF, because Jellyfin builds it from the single rendition the request asked for rather than publishing a ladder. There is no adaptation to preserve, so "adapt mid-stream" collapses into "pick well at open", which is what DR-225 and DR-226 already are. Recorded rather than deleted because the conclusion is a measurement, not an opinion, and a server that does publish a ladder would change it — the DR-224 re-negotiation path is the hook that work would build on Playback UR-079 Won't Do
DR-229 Every player backend consumes the same selection, proving the contract is player-agnostic rather than HTML5-shaped. The queue item carries the negotiated transport, so player_seek_video picks its seek strategy from the backend's own decision instead of the last stream_url.contains(".m3u8") in the codebase; items queued by a path that never negotiated (audio tracks, direct URLs) carry None and fall back to needs_transcoding, which is exact rather than a guess because every transcode this app requests is HLS (DR-140). The webview adapter's bridge carries the whole selection rather than a URL, so the component's HLS effect reads a tag instead of searching a string, and the background-audio handoff states the transport it is moving to (progressive mp3 out, HLS back) rather than leaving it to be inferred Playback UR-003, UR-004, UR-079 Done
DR-198 The webview runs under a real Content-Security-Policy, and the asset protocol is scoped to the one directory it still serves. csp was null, which disables CSP entirely: any script that reached the web layer — through a future {@html}, a dependency, or a devtools paste — would have inherited the whole IPC surface, and with it the user's session. script-src 'self' (Tauri injects a nonce for SvelteKit's inline bootstrap script at build time, so no 'unsafe-inline' is needed) plus object-src/frame-src 'none' and base-uri 'self' is the part that is genuinely restrictive. img-src/media-src/connect-src cannot be: the Jellyfin origin is typed in by the user at run time and is commonly plain http on a LAN, so they allow http:/https: — a wide grant for data, but one that still bars file:, filesystem: and scripting schemes, and leaves script-src untouched. style-src keeps 'unsafe-inline' because Svelte compiles style="…" attributes (including app.html's display: contents wrapper) into markup; this is safe only while no <style> element survives into index.html, since a nonce there would make Tauri's injection outrank — and therefore void — 'unsafe-inline'. worker-src blob: and media-src blob: are hls.js: it demuxes in a worker built from a blob and attaches MSE through URL.createObjectURL. asset: and http://asset.localhost are the same protocol under the two naming schemes convertFileSrc emits (custom scheme on Linux/macOS, http host on Windows/Android); ipc:/http://ipc.localhost is the invoke transport, which would otherwise be blocked by connect-src. A run-time CSP naming the server origin exactly was rejected: Tauri computes the header from immutable config when it serves the HTML, so it would mean rebuilding config and reloading the webview on every server change, for a policy the user can already point anywhere. The asset-protocol scope narrows from $APPDATA/** to $APPDATA/thumbnails/** — since DR-137 moved downloaded media to the loopback server, imageCache is the only convertFileSrc caller left, so the database and the encrypted-token fallback file no longer sit inside the grant Security UR-012, UR-071 Done

UT-062 setBackgroundAudioEnabled reports whether the native bridge was actually reached (missing bridge, stale proxy, throwing method) so a dead bridge cannot look armed UR-040, IR-025, DR-051 Done
UT-067 Offline get_items gates the synced-catalog UNION on the catalog-browse flag (downloads only when off, full catalog when on) DR-078 Done
UT-068 Catalog visibility resolves to serverReachable || showServerCatalog, and is pushed to the backend on every change of either input DR-078, DR-079 Done
UT-069 isConnected follows backend reachability alone: false when the server is unreachable on a live link, true for a reachable server while navigator.onLine is false DR-079 Done
UT-070 Hybrid get_items returns an empty offline result as-is when the catalog-browse gate is off, without querying the server DR-080 Done
UT-066 WiFi-only download gate: cellular and metered WiFi blocked, unmetered WiFi/Ethernet allowed, unknown/none fail closed, desktop default ungated; plus the frontend network reporter (transport reporting, change subscription, teardown, fail-open queries) DR-074 Done
UT-071 Byte-size formatter: zero/negative/non-finite → "0 B"; decimal unit thresholds; 23 significant-figure banding; trailing-zero trimming; largest-unit cap DR-085 Done
UT-072 Downloaded-only browse returns a downloaded leaf and its container, filtered to the requested album parent; a non-downloaded sibling is omitted DR-082, DR-083 Done
UT-073 An empty downloaded-only browse is authoritative — no rows, no error — regardless of the catalog-browse flag DR-082 Done
UT-074 Only libraries with downloaded content are listed; an empty one is omitted DR-082 Done
UT-075 Disk usage reports a leaf's own size, a container's summed descendants, and reconciles the device total with the sum of leaves DR-085 Done
UT-076 Downloaded library browse lists album containers, not their individual tracks; drilling into the album returns the tracks DR-082, DR-083 Done
UT-077 Downloaded TV library browse lists the series, not seasons/episodes; drilling returns the season then the episode DR-082, DR-083 Done
UT-078 A downloaded leaf with no cached container (e.g. a movie) still surfaces at the library level DR-082, DR-083 Done
UT-079 Each EQ preset returns a 10-band gain curve within range; Flat is all zeros; Bass Boost lifts lows and leaves highs flat DR-030 Done
UT-080 with_equalizer_normalised clamps out-of-range gains and forces the band vector to exactly 10 entries (pad short, truncate long) DR-030 Done
UT-081 Old persisted AudioSettings JSON without EQ fields loads as disabled + flat DR-030 Done
UT-082 EQ fields serialize as camelCase (equalizerEnabled/equalizerBands) and round-trip DR-030 Done
UT-083 EQ filter entries are empty when disabled or when the curve is flat (clears the af filter) IR-020 Done
UT-084 Enabled EQ builds one peaking equalizer per non-zero band at the right frequency and gain inside a single lavfi chain IR-020 Done
UT-085 A first tap resolves to togglePlayPause immediately — no deferral and no timer DR-092, DR-098 Done
UT-086 A second tap inside the window seeks (+30 s right half, 10 s left half) with the matching feedback side and re-toggles play/pause, so the two toggles cancel and the play state is unchanged by a double tap DR-092, DR-098 Done
UT-087 A tap after the window, and the tap following a consumed pair, are each fresh first taps that toggle (there is no third-tap case); repeated double taps keep seeking; cancel() makes the next tap a first tap so an interpreted swipe cannot seek DR-092, DR-098 Done
UT-088 resolveSeekTarget applies the delta to the reported position, clamps into [0, duration - END_SEEK_MARGIN_SECONDS], chains off an in-flight pending target so rapid skips accumulate, and ignores that target once the player reports past it DR-092, DR-095 Done
UT-089 A touch drag on the video seek bar seeks to the dragged position, never toggles play/pause, and never alters brightness — the container gesture layer stays out of a control drag entirely DR-098, DR-099 Done
UT-090 The seek bar commits its seek on touchend even when the engine never fires change, and commits exactly once when both signals arrive DR-099 Done
UT-091 Transport intents (play/pause/toggle) reach the backend even while a video adapter is registered, and never call the adapter's own play/pause/toggle — the webview must not decide play-vs-pause from the DOM DR-097 Done
UT-092 shouldReuseActivePlayback reuses backend playback for an already-loaded audio track but never for video, and never when an explicit start position or a next-episode restart was requested DR-100 Done
UT-093 resolvePlayerSurface returns video only with a stream URL, pending for video whose stream URL is still missing (never audio), and audio for audio content DR-100 Done
UT-094 parseNativeInsets accepts the bridge's JSON or a decoded object, and coerces missing/negative/non-finite edges to 0 rather than emitting NaNpx (which would invalidate the whole padding declaration) DR-112 Done
UT-095 safeAreaCssVars/applySafeAreaInsets emit px-suffixed jt-inset custom properties for all four edges DR-112 Done
UT-096 readNativeInsets returns null with no bridge and survives a stale WebView proxy (missing or throwing get) instead of throwing out of layout init IR-031, DR-112 Done
UT-097 initSafeArea primes the document on start, re-applies on jellytau-insets-changed (rotation, nav-mode switch), unsubscribes on teardown, and writes nothing without a bridge so env() still wins on iOS/desktop IR-031, DR-112 Done
UT-098 shellReservesBottomInset gives the bottom inset to BottomUi wherever one renders and to the app shell only on routes without one, so the gesture bar is never ignored nor double-padded DR-112 Done
UT-099 A Jellyfin item payload carrying UserData.IsFavorite maps to MediaItem.user_data.is_favorite DR-113, JA-034 Done
UT-100 OnlineRepository::get_favorites builds Filters=IsFavorite + Recursive=true + the scope's IncludeItemTypes, and omits the type filter entirely for SearchScope::All DR-115, JA-033 Done
UT-101 OfflineRepository::get_favorites returns only is_favorite = 1 rows, honours the scope type filter, and stays downloads-only when the catalog-browse gate is off DR-115 Done
UT-102 The save_to_cache favourite mirror does not overwrite a row with pending_sync = 1 DR-114 Done
UT-103 The reconnect drain pushes pending favourites, clears pending_sync, and leaves failed rows pending DR-120 Done
UT-104 get_items with favorites_only filters online (endpoint) and offline (SQL) DR-116 Done
UT-105 favorites store precedence: override beats userData.isFavorite beats false DR-119 Done
UT-106 Un-favouriting removes an item from a favourites listing view DR-117, DR-119 Done
UT-107 The hybrid background refresh emits favorites-changed only for ids whose favourite state actually flipped DR-120 Done
UT-109 Search covers synced-but-not-downloaded items when catalog browse is on, and stays downloads-only when off DR-108 Done
UT-110 Search item-type filter is bound, not interpolated: a quote-bearing type neither errors nor widens results DR-108 Done
UT-111 FTS prefix queries quote each token, so apostrophes/hyphens/slashes are data; empty or punctuation-only input returns no rows rather than erroring DR-108 Done
UT-112 Repeated catalog passes leave one items_fts entry per item, not one per pass DR-110 Done
UT-113 The stale-catalog sweep removes vanished synced rows, keeps downloaded ones, keeps uncrawled types, and stays scoped to one server DR-110 Done
UT-114 Cached people are reachable from unscoped search and excluded from scoped search DR-111 Done
UT-115 Re-index staleness policy: never-indexed and unparseable timestamps are due, fresh ones are not, future ones are not DR-109 Done
UT-116 resolve_local_media_path returns a completed download's file, and None for an in-progress download, a row whose file has been deleted, or an unknown item DR-123 Done
UT-118 resolveVideoSource prefers a downloaded file, never marks a local file as needing transcoding, and falls back to streaming for a blank path DR-123 Done
UT-119 The audio-only handoff picks a downloaded file over the audio-only stream URL, preserving the Jellyfin id for progress sync DR-128 Done
UT-120 Expiry reclaim takes only expired temporary entries: derived from completed_at+TTL, honouring an expires_at override, never a user download, and disabled by a zero TTL DR-127 Done
UT-108 LRU eviction reclaims only 'auto' downloads and never a user's own, even when the user's is the oldest DR-126 Done
UT-117 A background audio-only stream cut short resumes where it died instead of ending the episode; a real end still advances; the absolute position is compared against the runtime; retries at a stuck position give up. A recoverable error resumes music and video too, with growing backoff, leaving the rest of the queue intact and the seekable stream's URL untouched; local and DirectUrl sources are excluded DR-129 Done
UT-124 downloadedFilePath leaves a completed download's absolute path alone (POSIX and Windows) and only roots one that is still relative DR-133 Done
UT-125 A NULL media_type resolves from the item type — Movie and Episode as video, a track as audio — an uncached item still defaults to audio, and an explicit media_type overrides the item DR-135 Done
UT-126 Requeueing takes only video rows downloaded under the audio default, clearing their URL, and leaves correctly-typed video rows and real audio downloads alone DR-136 Done
UT-127 The media server bounds and confines every response: a range-less request yields one chunk rather than the whole file, no range exceeds the chunk cap, explicit/open-ended/suffix ranges resolve correctly, a range past the end is unsatisfiable rather than clamped, a malformed header falls back to the first chunk, path traversal and unrelated absolute paths are refused, a wrong or absent token is rejected, and content type comes from the extension then the magic bytes DR-137 Done
UT-121 An EOF reads as the last observed timestamp, not zero: live readings win while the file is loaded, a not-yet-established duration is not recorded as a real zero, a seek updates the position before the next poll, and loading a new file clears the previous one's DR-130 Done
UT-122 The sync-queue drain pushes queued playback reports oldest-first, defers failures for the next reconnect, abandons a row after MAX_SYNC_ATTEMPTS, ignores other users' rows, and parses both payload dialects DR-131 Done
UT-123 Pending-sync rows describe themselves: every queueable operation has a label, an unknown one still renders, the item title falls back to its id, and rows list oldest-first DR-132 Done
UT-130 Video and background-audio stream URLs omit AudioStreamIndex when no track was chosen, and carry the exact index when one was DR-140 Done
UT-131 The Episode Focus View hero offers a download control DR-142 Done
UT-132 The series name links to the series and the SxEy badge to that season's anchor DR-142 Done
UT-133 Cast renders below the "More Episodes" strip, never above it DR-062, DR-142 Done
UT-134 The episode strip is hidden when the episode has no siblings DR-142 Done
UT-135 An episode with no seriesId still renders the Focus View, with title, Play and download DR-142 Done
UT-136 episodeRedirectTarget sends a bare episode page into its series' Focus View, and returns null with no series DR-142 Done
UT-137 Going offline with the toggle off pushes the closed gate and bumps catalogFilterVersion DR-143 Done
UT-138 The version bumps only after set_show_server_catalog resolves, never before DR-143 Done
UT-139 A failed visibility push is retried on the next identical transition rather than latched DR-143 Done
UT-140 useOfflineFilterReload skips the value a page already loaded under and reloads on each later change DR-143 Done
UT-141 The advertised channel cap: an unknown or zero reading falls back to stereo, a real route keeps its channels, an absurd driver reading is capped at 7.1, and mono is taken at its word DR-141 Done
UT-148 Forcing a transcode from the client: an undecodable default track forces one, a decodable track does not, the default track decides rather than the first, the first decides when nothing is marked default, and neither an audio-less source nor an unnamed codec is second-guessed DR-149 Done
UT-149 createAdapter returns the native adapter only when Rust reports native AND experimentalNativeVideo is on; the flag off forces HTML5 even when Rust says native, and the flag on never promotes a platform Rust reported as HTML5 DR-150 Done
UT-150 set-version.sh stamps all four manifests without touching dependency versions, and the Android versionCode is monotonic across an upgrade sequence, clears the 1000 floor, and survives a prerelease suffix DR-153 Done
UT-151 An unreportable stop lands in the queue and is pushed by the existing drain; re-queueing the same item supersedes the earlier position rather than adding a row, distinct items keep their own positions, and an abandoned row is not revived by a later report DR-154 Done
UT-152 Caching a server result mirrors its watch position locally — including for an item carrying a position but no favourite flag — without inventing a row for an item the server reported no user data for, and without pulling a still-unsynced local position backwards DR-155 Done
UT-162 Each downloaded library lists only its own media: the music library shows the album and neither the film nor the series, the movie library only the film, the TV library only the series DR-163 Done
UT-163 partial_path appends rather than replacing the extension, so it matches what the cleanup paths delete, keeps two sources for one title apart, and still produces a sidecar for an extension-less target DR-165 Done
UT-170 queue_album_tracks queues a row for every track of the album — including tracks the cache holds without an album_id and tracks it has never seen at all — links each one to its album so offline browsing can find it, returns the row ids in track order, and is idempotent: re-queuing fills the gaps without duplicating rows or resetting a completed track. cached_album_tracks (the offline fallback) finds tracks by either album link and does not sweep in another album's DR-173 Done
UT-171 resolve_pending_download_urls restricted to a set of row ids resolves only those rows and leaves other pending rows untouched, and an empty id set resolves nothing rather than sweeping everything DR-173 Done
UT-172 album_file_names gives every track of an album its own file: a title repeated within the album (deluxe edition, two discs) is disambiguated by track number and item id instead of the second download overwriting the first, an unambiguous title keeps its own name, and path separators in a title are sanitised so a track cannot escape the album directory DR-173 Done
UT-164 resume_offset appends only when the server answered 206; a 200 after a Range request restarts the file, because that body is the whole stream DR-166 Done
UT-165 A registered download starts unflagged, signal sets the flag its worker reads, signalling an unregistered id reports not-in-flight, clear forgets it, and re-registering drops a previous stop so a resumed download does not halt instantly DR-164 Done
UT-166 original quality re-encodes audio the webview cannot decode (E-AC-3/AC-3/DTS/TrueHD) to AAC without capping bitrate or resolution, keeps the Static=true direct copy for audio that plays here (AAC/MP3/Opus/Vorbis/FLAC) and for an unknown codec, leaves the explicit quality presets untouched, and picks the served track by the same default-or-first rule the streaming verdict uses DR-171 Done
UT-155 A seek during a background-audio handoff re-opens the stream at the requested absolute position (StartTimeTicks) and rebases the handoff to it, while a seek outside a handoff stays an ordinary seek and invents no base DR-159 Done
UT-154 mark_unplayed parses to QueuedOp::MarkUnplayed and is rejected without an item id, and a queued un-mark drains to the server as clear_watch_history DR-158 Done
UT-156 A capped step reaches the transcode URL as all four of its parts (total ceiling, the video/audio split summing to the cap, and a MaxHeight), the uncapped default keeps the historical 20/18 Mbps allowance and constrains no resolution, and the background-audio handoff takes the lower of the cap and its own 384 kbps DR-162 Done
UT-157 The quality ladder is internally consistent — video + audio equals the cap at every step, audio never consumes the budget, only Original is uncapped — descends in bitrate, resolution and audio share together, and round-trips through the serde token it is persisted as DR-162 Done
UT-158 Justified rows fill the container width exactly and never overflow it, every tile in a row shares one height, and each tile's width follows its own aspect ratio — a 16:9 tile coming out more than twice the width of a 2:3 tile at the same height DR-174 Done
UT-159 The awkward cases of the packing: a short last row is left at the target height rather than stretched across the container, a last row that would overflow is brought down, an extreme ratio is clamped instead of taking a row to itself, a missing or nonsensical ratio falls back to square instead of collapsing the tile, an unmeasured container renders nothing rather than 1px tiles, and every tile is placed exactly once in order DR-174 Done
UT-160 The default row height suits its container: it grows with the width, stays inside its bounds, and at phone width still fits two 16:9 tiles side by side DR-174 Done
UT-161 A collection type maps to its favourites scope (movies/tvshows/music), every other kind — Live TV, channels, box sets, books, unknown — maps to none rather than to All, and a constructed library carries the scope across the wire as favoritesScope, omitted entirely when it has none DR-175 Done
UT-167 The mosaic's composition: the cross-library favourites entry leads, each library is followed by its own category tile pointing at that category's tab, a category shared by two libraries still yields one tile, a library kind favourites do not carve up yields none, a scope the page offers no tab for is ignored, and every tile is uniquely keyed DR-174, DR-175 Done
UT-168 Subtitles are negotiated as sidecars, never burned in: the requested SubtitleStreamIndex is the explicit "none" sentinel (-1) rather than omitted, every text format we can render (srt/subrip/ass/ssa/vtt) is advertised as External, and the burn-in verdict is by format — text never forces it, image formats (PGSSUB, dvdsub) always do, case-insensitively. The same sentinel rides the stream URL itself, so a stream re-opened without a fresh negotiation cannot inherit a subtitle. And the verdict reaches the picker: a subtitle stream carries supportsExternalDelivery — set only for subtitles, false for a bitmap format and for one the server left unnamed — which drops the tracks the app could never draw from the menu, the <track> children and the native play request alike, without even fetching their URLs, while a stream carrying no verdict at all is still offered DR-176 Done
UT-173 Every video stream URL carries a PlaySessionId, each open mints a fresh one, and the open reports the session it superseded so that job can be stopped DR-177 Done
UT-174 A fatal HLS network error is read against the absolute position: mid-film — including after a quality switch, where the seek offset carries the whole resume position — it is retried rather than reported as the end of the stream, the last tenth of a known runtime is treated as the end, an unknown runtime retries, and retries stop once the budget is spent DR-177 Done
UT-175 A stream reload that never becomes playable is reported as a failure instead of resolving as success, so the caller can revert its selection rather than leave the UI claiming a stream that is not playing DR-177 Done
UT-176 A handoff's position is floored at its base: with no tick yet landed the exit position is the point the screen was locked at rather than 0, and once ticks are flowing (the base already applied natively) it is not added twice DR-178 Done
UT-177 Webview-rendered media's reported position and duration are the controller's, and are dropped the moment that element stops being the player — on teardown, and when a handoff takes over DR-178 Done
UT-178 A stop report at position 0 is withheld rather than sent (it would clear the resume point), while a real position is still reported from either rendering path — the element's on the webview path, the backend's on the native one DR-179 Done
UT-179 An audio-only episode that ends naturally is reported stopped at its runtime, so Jellyfin marks it played; a truncated stream, which is about to be re-opened, reports nothing DR-179 Done
UT-180 Position ticks report progress to the server, throttled to one report per item per window rather than one per tick DR-179 Done
UT-181 The handoff plan matches its source: a downloaded file takes no base and a seek, a stream takes the base and no seek, and a handoff at 0:00 takes neither; a downloaded handoff's absolute seek stays an ordinary seek instead of a stream rebuild DR-180 Done
UT-153 Scroll handling per navigation kind: a forward move always lands at the top even when the previous page was scrolled and even when the target was visited before, Back restores that route's own saved offset (and the top when it has none), offsets are kept per route rather than shared, a repeated Back still restores, and the initial load leaves the container alone DR-156 Done
UT-142 The audio codecs offered for video direct play: a Dolby device's real MediaCodecList output drops ac3/eac3, AMR and raw PCM are dropped too, a fully-supported list is passed through untouched, a list with nothing decodable still claims aac, and stray spacing or casing does not decide whether the user gets sound DR-148 Done
UT-143 Subtitle URLs resolve to plain strings before they reach the markup (never a Promise), unresolvable tracks are dropped, a stale selection collapses to "Off", and a server-default track is never auto-selected UR-020, DR-023 Done
UT-144 VideoPlayer actually renders <track kind="subtitles"> children carrying data-stream-index, with no default attribute and no async getSubtitleUrl() bound to src UR-020, DR-023 Done
UT-145 The frontend's subtitle payload survives the IPC hop: a camelCase PlayItemRequest carrying subtitles deserializes, create_media_item lands them on MediaItem.subtitles in the order sent, and a request without the field still defaults to empty UR-020, IR-016 Done
UT-146 The subtitle JSON serialized across the JNI boundary uses the keys JellyTauPlayer.load() reads — url, language, label and mime_type, never mimeType UR-020, IR-016, JA-008 Done
UT-147 The native subtitle payload and the track-selection index come from the same resolved list: the wire shape keeps mime_type and stream order, playerPlayItem actually sends it, and the index is a position in the sent list (so a track whose URL failed to resolve cannot shift the others) rather than the menu's row number UR-020, IR-016 Done
UT-182 An HLS video URL never carries StartTimeTicks — with a position supplied or not — while the master playlist, codec, media source and chosen audio track still ride on it DR-181 Done
UT-183 A reloaded stream is resumed by seeking the element to the absolute position with the transcode offset cleared to zero — never by carrying the position as an offset base, which since DR-181 would display the position while playing the item from its start — and a reload to 0:00 waits for no seek DR-181 Done
UT-184 The native reveal rule fires on state === "playing" and on a position tick carrying a position or a duration, and on nothing else — not buffering, paused, stopped, ended or error, not an empty tick, and not a negative position DR-182 Done
UT-188 The control-bar auto-hide rule permits hiding only during uninterrupted playback: it declines while paused, while a seek is in flight, and while a track/subtitle/quality menu is open — asserted against the pure shouldHideControls rule rather than a clock or a DOM DR-189 Done
UT-189 On the native path the player never calls player_report_state — driven through the real 10-second progress interval under fake timers, which is the call site that mattered; asserting on a freshly mounted player passes with the guard deleted and guards nothing DR-195 Done
UT-187 On the native path the play overlay follows the backend: it clears when the backend resumes after a pause and is raised again when the backend pauses, and the system bars are hidden on player entry rather than only by the fullscreen button DR-186, DR-187 Done
UT-186 Every attribute the native-video compositing block in app.css targets is set somewhere in the app — [data-app-shell] in particular — so a selector aimed at nothing fails the suite instead of failing silently on a device DR-185 Done
UT-185 Mounted on the native path (backend reports native, opt-in flag on, no <video> element rendered and the backend not stopped), VideoPlayer keeps the poster card up until the backend reports something, drops it on a playing state or a position tick with a duration, and keeps it up through error and stopped DR-182 Done
UT-190 build_next_up_endpoint sends EnableResumable=false with the user and limit, and no SeriesId filter when none was requested DR-197, JA-036 Done
UT-191 A per-series next-up query keeps SeriesId and the resumable exclusion, and defaults the limit DR-197 Done
UT-192 filterInProgressNextUpItems drops an episode present in the resume list, keeps the genuinely unstarted next episode, leaves the rest of the row intact, and is a no-op when nothing is in progress DR-197 Done
UT-193 The shipped Tauri security config stays restrictive: csp is set, script-src carries no 'unsafe-inline'/'unsafe-eval'/wildcard, object-src/frame-src are 'none', the directives playback needs (asset scheme, loopback, blob:, ipc:) are present, and the asset-protocol scope covers only the thumbnail cache — never the storage root that holds the database DR-198 Done
UT-194 Normal audio (no background-audio handoff) keeps queue advance on both skip buttons DR-201 Done
UT-195 In background-audio mode a skip scrubs +30s/-10s instead of advancing the queue — the reported defect DR-201 Done
UT-196 Skipping back near the start clamps to zero rather than seeking negative DR-201 Done
UT-197 Skipping forward near the end clamps to the duration rather than running past it into an EOF-driven advance DR-201 Done
UT-198 An unknown duration still scrubs and still refuses to go negative DR-201 Done
UT-199 The screen-wake decision: video playing holds the display, pausing releases it, audio playing never holds it, a webview element going inactive releases even without a pause report, either renderer alone is enough to hold, and teardown drops both DR-202 Done
UT-201 The logging facade gates by level: a message below the active level is not emitted at all, one at or above it reaches the sink, changing the level at run time changes what passes without touching the call sites, and a scoped logger tags its output with the subsystem DR-204 Proposed
UT-202 Generated traceability-matrix file links resolve from docs/: an emitted href, resolved against the directory traceability.md is written to, points at a file that exists on disk; the visible link text stays repo-root-relative; the #Lnn anchor survives; and a bare repo-root href — the regression that made every link 404 as docs/<path> — is rejected DR-093 Done
UT-203 Library folder exclusion filters by id, not by name: an excluded folder's items are absent from a music query, an item whose title merely contains an excluded folder's name is kept, and clearing the exclusion restores the items DR-209 Proposed
UT-204 Thumbnail cache writes stay inside the cache directory: a traversal-style and an absolute item_id both fail to produce a file outside it, a filename made only of already-safe characters is byte-identical to the one the previous code produced, and an odd id still round-trips through get_cached_path DR-210 Done
UT-205 Queued download paths cannot escape the download root — traversal, absolute and .. forms are refused — while the four real path shapes the app builds, including the absolute one download_series produces, come back unchanged; and a completed download cannot register a file outside the root DR-211 Done
UT-206 The offline item-type filter is bound rather than interpolated (a value containing a quote and OR 1=1 matches nothing instead of disabling the WHERE), build_get_items_endpoint percent-encodes its values while preserving the commas Jellyfin splits on, and volume normalisation clamps out-of-range input and maps NaN to a finite value DR-212 Done
UT-200 The stream a player could only restart is refused its retry: the handoff transcode answers yes to player_retry_restarts_stream while music, video and a downloaded episode answer no, and the Kotlin decision starts permissive, flips on a non-resumable load, and is restored by the next ordinary one DR-203 Done
UT-207 The hero banner's rotation timer restarts from the moment of a manual change: a swipe 5.5s into a 6s interval waits a further 6s instead of firing the leftover 500ms, repeated restarts never stack timers, and stop() ends rotation DR-038 Done
UT-208 The update decision: each numeric version field is compared in order, the installed version is not offered to itself, a leading v is tolerated because that is how the tags are written, a pre-release sorts below the release of the same number so 0.9.2-rc1 is not offered to somebody on 0.9.2, a missing patch field reads as zero rather than NaN, mobile reports link-only while desktop reports install, and absent release notes normalise to null rather than undefined DR-217 Done
UT-209 Redaction and forwarding. Rust: every credential shape reduces to [REDACTED] while the host, username and neighbouring parameters survive; redaction is idempotent, leaves ordinary lines alone, does not fire on the word "token" in prose, and does not panic on multi-byte input; a server URL keeps only scheme and host and drops an embedded user:pass@; an unparseable level falls back to info rather than failing at startup. Frontend: info and above forward while debug does not, a message the level filter suppressed is not forwarded, a throwing forwarder neither propagates nor prevents the console write, and an Error renders as name and message rather than the {} that JSON.stringify produces DR-218 Done
UT-210 Cosmetic-commit detection for release notes: a chore(format), chore(deps) or style subject is skipped when deriving a range's changed files, while fix, feat, ci, docs, a bare chore: and chore(release): are kept; and the word "format" appearing later in a subject ("fix(duration): format times over 24 hours") does not make a real fix look cosmetic DR-219 Done
UT-211 The stream-selection contract. Transport and PlaybackKind each serialise to exactly the tag the frontend matches ({"type":"hls"}, {"type":"directPlay"}, …) and round-trip; nested StreamSelection fields are camelCase on the wire including playbackKind, mediaSourceId and maxBitrate; only Transcode counts as transcoding, so a direct stream does not; a local file is a direct play over a local transport with no ladder. The ladder: every rung at or above a 1.12 Mbps source is marked redundant while the three that constrain it are not, Original is never marked for any bitrate including zero and unknown, an unreported source bitrate keeps all eight rungs offered, a 40 Mbps source marks none, and each option carries the ladder's own label and detail DR-224, DR-226 Done
UT-212 The direct-play negotiation, one test per branch, against PlaybackInfo fixtures whose shapes were all observed on a live server: a supported source direct-plays; a remuxable one direct-streams and reports itself as not transcoding; an unsupported codec transcodes; undecodable audio overrides the server's direct-play offer (silent picture is worse than a transcode); a pinned audio track forces a transcode; a ceiling below the source bitrate transcodes even though the codec is fine, and the ladder agrees that rung constrains it; direct play wins over direct stream when both are offered. Plus the ceiling: a per-playback override governs the stream being opened without disturbing the durable default the Settings screen shows, and dropping it returns to that default DR-225, DR-227 Done
UT-213 The loader comes from the transport, never the URL. hls.js is attached for hls when available and the element's own loader when not; progressive and local files load directly; the element's src is emptied only when hls.js drives it. The two cases that fail against a substring check, and the reason the field exists: a progressive stream whose URL contains .m3u8 is not given an HLS loader, and an hls stream whose URL contains no .m3u8 is. Both failed against the pre-DR-224 implementation before the fix landed DR-224 Done

5. Technical Debt

Open items carried over from the v0.6.0 codebase audit

The 2026-08-16 audit (v0.6.0, commit be907b49) was a point-in-time snapshot with no status markers, and by v0.8.2 most of it had been either fixed or overtaken. It was retired rather than left to rot into a document that half-describes the code: what survived it is the table below, which is now the record. Each row is self-contained — the audit is not needed to act on it.

What was dropped as demonstrably closed, so it is not re-raised: the CSP and asset-protocol scope findings (now DR-198), cloud backup and credential restore, the WebView mixed-content override (DR-199), POST_NOTIFICATIONS and the media-session exemption (DR-200), the jvmTarget 1.8 pin (now 17), the half-declared Android TV leanback category (removed), the untraced-but-Done requirements and the contradictory UR/IR statuses (re-scoped in §2.1), the 50% traceability gate (ratcheted, and gated on a live denominator by DR-093), the flaky offlineCatalog test, the clippy warning backlog (cleared, and cargo fmt --check plus clippy now run in CI), and the "820 production unwrap()s" figure — a measurement error that counted test modules, corrected in the audit itself to ~19 and standing at 27 today, none of them in a command handler. The three Runtime::new().unwrap() sites that genuinely matter survive as row 5.

Ordered by what would hurt most if left.

Closed 2026-08-17: the R8-minified release APK was validated on device. That was the last item gating confidence in the v0.8.0 release itself; R8 stripping JNI-loaded classes has broken release builds here before, and v0.8.0 added a new Kotlin path (onFastForward/onRewind) that the unminified debug pass did not cover.

# Item Why it matters Size
1 Android 16 Local Network Protections The rare platform change that could stop the app working at all: JellyTau's core function is reaching a Jellyfin server that, for most users, is on the LAN. Opt-in for testing in Android 16, enforcement signalled for a later release — so nothing is broken today and no device test will surface it. Far cheaper to handle before it is mandatory. An Android 16 device is already to hand to test the opt-in flag against M
2 The traceability matrix cannot see Kotlin scripts/extract-traces.ts walks only src, src-tauri/src and scripts, so every TRACES: comment in src-tauri/android/** is invisible — pre-existing ones included. A whole platform is unmeasured, which is plausibly why the Android IRs sat untagged for so long, and it means the 90% coverage figure is computed over a codebase that excludes the Android tree S
3 Delete the asset protocol outright It is not narrowly used, it is unused. getCachedImageUrl has no production callers (only its own test file), so convertFileSrc never executes; images arrive as base64 data: URIs from image_get_url. Confirmed on device: zero asset.localhost requests across a full browsing session. Dropping protocol-asset and the assetProtocol block retires the surface instead of shrinking it, and imageCache.ts goes with it S
4 Tighten img-src The v0.8.0 CSP grants img-src … http: https: on the premise that thumbnails are fetched direct-from-server by the webview. They are not (see #3). With no webview-side server image loads anywhere in src/, 'self' data: blob: should suffice. Needs its own device pass — a wrong img-src blanks every image, silently S
5 Three Runtime::new().unwrap() in playback-critical threads session_poller/mod.rs:102, player/mpv_backend.rs:424, player/android/mod.rs:761. A panic strands the app offline with nothing surfaced, freezes the scrubber mid-playback, or kills progress reporting across a JNI boundary. One shared helper returning Option<Runtime> and logging on failure retires all three. (The wider "820 unwraps" figure was a measurement error — the real count is 19, and none are in command handlers) S
6 Confirm the playback service rejects unknown callers JellyTauPlaybackService is exported="true" with a MediaSessionService intent filter — conventional for Media3, but it means any app on the device can attempt to bind and drive playback. The session's onConnect should reject unknown packages. (Predictive back, raised alongside this, was verified working on device and needs nothing) S
7 Media3 is several minor versions behind Pinned at 1.5.0 across exoplayer/hls/session/common. Much of this app's hard-won behaviour lives in ExoPlayer edge cases — truncated progressive streams, background-audio handoff, HLS resume — so its bug-fix releases have unusually high value here. Schedule with a device pass over the playback regression list M
8 Shipped desktop bundles have no update path deb/rpm/nsis are built but tauri-plugin-updater is absent, so every desktop user upgrades by manually fetching a package — in practice a long tail of installs pinned to whatever they first downloaded. Add the updater with a signed manifest, or document the manual path so the omission is deliberate M
9 DR-042 overstates what ships It promises "poster cards, year, and rating badges", but MediaCard.svelte renders only productionYear; CommunityRating/OfficialRating appear solely as sort keys, never as a badge. Either build the badge or correct the requirement text — a requirement that describes unbuilt behaviour is worse than an untraced one S
10 Stray duplicate JellyTauPlayer.kt A copy exists at src-tauri/android/app/src/main/java/.../player/JellyTauPlayer.kt, outside the canonical src-tauri/android/src tree that sync-android-sources.sh reads. Two files with one name in a tree with a strict canonical-source rule is a trap for the next edit S
11 Six modules carry a disproportionate share of the complexity src-tauri/src/player/mod.rs (4,732 lines), src-tauri/src/repository/offline.rs (4,705), src-tauri/src/repository/online.rs (3,760), src-tauri/src/commands/player/mod.rs (3,327), src-tauri/src/commands/download/mod.rs (3,238) and src/lib/components/player/VideoPlayer.svelte (2,786) — all still growing. The cost is not the line count itself, it is that these are the same modules CLAUDE.md's Gotchas section keeps having to warn about: the deadlock rule about locking in event callbacks, the AutoplayDecision scrutinee, the "no lifecycle calls after an await in onMount" rule, the HLS master.m3u8 rule, the download concurrency cap. A file that needs a standing warning in the project's onboarding document is a file whose invariants are no longer local to it, and every such warning is a rule a newcomer has to be told rather than one the structure enforces. Recorded, not scheduled — a speculative refactor of six files this size buys nothing on its own. The trigger is the next time one of them needs substantial work: splitting it then is likely cheaper than growing it, and each rule that moves from Gotchas into a module boundary is one fewer thing to remember L

Linux Keyring Integration Workaround

Issue: The keyring-rs crate (v3.x) has issues with retrieving credentials from the Linux Secret Service API, despite successfully saving them.

Symptoms:

  • Credentials are saved to the system keyring successfully (verified with secret-tool search)
  • Retrieval via the keyring-rs library fails with NoEntry error
  • Session restoration fails on app restart even though credentials exist

Root Cause: The keyring-rs library's Linux backend doesn't correctly retrieve entries from the Secret Service that it previously stored. This appears to be a bug in how the library interfaces with the Secret Service D-Bus API.

Current Workaround: We bypass the keyring-rs library on Linux and use direct system calls to secret-tool:

  • Save: secret-tool store --label <label> service <service> username <username>
  • Retrieve: secret-tool lookup service <service> username <username>
  • Delete: secret-tool clear service <service> username <username>

Implementation: See src-tauri/src/credentials.rs for the Linux-specific secret-tool save/get/delete paths.

Future Fix:

  • Monitor keyring-rs for bug fixes in future versions
  • Consider alternative secure storage libraries
  • Test if newer versions of keyring-rs (v4.x+) resolve the issue
  • Once fixed, remove the Linux-specific workaround and use the cross-platform keyring-rs API

Impact:

  • Low - The workaround is functionally equivalent to proper keyring integration
  • Credentials are stored securely in the system keyring
  • Session restoration works correctly
  • Only affects Linux; macOS and Windows use the standard keyring-rs implementation

Dependencies:

  • Requires secret-tool to be installed on Linux systems (part of libsecret-tools package)
  • Already available on most Linux distributions by default

Platform Playback Backend Parity (Linux vs Android)

Issue: The Linux (MPV) and Android (ExoPlayer) playback backends have diverged in feature implementation and architecture patterns.

Symptoms (as first recorded; the audio half is now closed — see Status):

  • Audio settings (gapless playback, volume normalization, equalizer) worked on Linux but not on Android
  • Position update frequency differs between platforms (Linux: 250ms polling, Android: on-demand callbacks)
  • Thread safety models differ (Linux: Arc<Mutex<>>, Android: global OnceLock statics)

Root Cause: The PlayerBackend trait defines optional audio settings methods with default empty implementations. MpvBackend overrode these with MPV property commands; ExoPlayerBackend took the silent defaults, so the Settings Audio panel rendered controls that did nothing on Android. ExoPlayerBackend now overrides them too, but the trait default is still a silent Ok(()) — a backend that omits the method still reports success rather than failing loudly.

Affected Files:

Feature Parity Matrix:

Feature Linux (MPV) Android (ExoPlayer) Status
Basic playback Parity
Volume control Parity
Seek Parity
Crossfade Not implemented (blocked on MPV)
Gapless playback ⚠️ Implemented, pending on-device verification
Volume normalization ⚠️ Implemented (LoudnessEnhancer — gain stage, approximate vs MPV's dynaudnorm), pending on-device verification
Equalizer (10-band) ⚠️ Implemented (resampled onto device bands), pending on-device verification
Position updates 250ms On-demand Inconsistent

Status (see docs/architecture/05-platform-backends.md, "Audio settings on ExoPlayer"):

  1. set_audio_settings() implemented in ExoPlayerBackend (JSON over JNI)
  2. Gapless via ExoPlayer's pauseAtEndOfMediaItems
  3. Volume normalization via LoudnessEnhancer
  4. Equalizer via android.media.audiofx.Equalizer, canonical 10 bands resampled onto the device's band centres
  5. Not yet verified on a physical device — the EQ/normalization effects depend on device-specific AudioEffect availability and band layouts
  6. Flip the trait's set_audio_settings default from Ok(()) to Err(not_implemented()) so a backend that omits it fails loudly instead of silently reporting success. Deferred until (5) confirms the Android path works
  7. Standardize position update frequency across platforms

Crossfade is deliberately absent: it is unimplemented on every platform and architecturally blocked on MPV, so building it on Android alone would invert the parity gap. (The previously suggested ConcatenatingMediaSource is also deprecated in current Media3.)

Impact:

  • Medium - Android users lack audio enhancement features advertised in requirements
  • User experience differs between platforms
  • UR-032 (Gapless), UR-033 (Normalization) and UR-027 (Equalizer) are now implemented on Android as well as Linux, pending on-device verification
  • UR-031 (Crossfade) works nowhere — see DR-034

Frontend Playback Code Duplication

Issue: Playback control handlers and state derivations are duplicated between AudioPlayer.svelte and MiniPlayer.svelte.

Symptoms:

  • Identical try-catch wrapped handler functions in both components (~44 lines duplicated)
  • Same $derived state merging logic for local/remote playback in both components
  • Position conversion (ticks ↔ seconds) scattered across multiple files

Affected Files:

Duplicated Code:

// These handlers are identical in both AudioPlayer and MiniPlayer:
handlePlayPause(), handleNext(), handlePrevious(),
handleToggleShuffle(), handleCycleRepeat(), handleVolumeChange()

// These derived states use identical logic:
displayMedia, displayIsPlaying, displayPosition, displayDuration

Future Fix:

  1. Create src/lib/utils/playbackUnits.ts:

    export const TICKS_PER_SECOND = 10_000_000;
    export const secondsToTicks = (s: number) => Math.floor(s * TICKS_PER_SECOND);
    export const ticksToSeconds = (t: number) => t / TICKS_PER_SECOND;
    
  2. Create src/lib/composables/useMergedPlaybackState.svelte.ts:

    • Export displayMedia, displayIsPlaying, displayPosition, displayDuration
    • Single source of truth for merged local/remote state
  3. Simplify handler wrappers using a utility:

    export const withErrorHandler = (fn: () => Promise<void>, context: string) =>
      async () => { try { await fn(); } catch (e) { console.error(`${context}:`, e); } };
    

Impact:

  • Low - Code works correctly but violates DRY principle
  • Maintenance burden when logic needs to change
  • Risk of handlers diverging over time
