Minor bump rather than patch: Android gains working equalizer, volume normalization and gapless playback, which are new user-facing capabilities. CHANGELOG entry written by hand rather than from `bun run release:notes`. The generated draft lists "Crossfade between audio tracks (UR-031)" as a feature of this release, which is false — the trace graph cannot distinguish code that plumbs a setting (settings.rs clamping, the backend.rs trait method, both legitimately tagged DR-034) from code that implements it, and crossfade is implemented nowhere. The release-notes tool documents its output as a reviewed draft; this is a concrete case of why. v0.1.3-v0.1.5 have no CHANGELOG entries; noted in the file rather than backfilled.

v0.2.0
✨ Features
-
Audio settings now work on Android. The equalizer, volume normalization and gapless playback controls in Settings › Audio previously rendered on Android and did nothing —
ExoPlayerBackendwas the only backend that never implementedset_audio_settings, and the trait's default silently reported success while applying nothing. All three now take effect:- Equalizer — the canonical 10-band ISO curve is resampled onto whatever bands the device's equalizer actually exposes (commonly 5), by nearest centre frequency.
- Volume normalization — via
LoudnessEnhancer. Note this is a gain stage, not a true EBU R128 normalizer like the Linuxdynaudnormpath, so it approximates rather than matches Linux behaviour. - Gapless playback — honours the setting via
pauseAtEndOfMediaItems(ExoPlayer is gapless by default, so this disables it when you turn it off).
The effects re-attach automatically when ExoPlayer rebuilds its audio sink on a format change, so the equalizer no longer stops applying part-way through a queue. (UR-027, UR-032, UR-033 → DR-030, DR-035, DR-036, IR-004)
⚠️ Not yet verified on a physical device.
AudioEffectavailability and band layouts vary by device and OEM ROM; where an effect is unavailable it is logged and skipped rather than crashing playback.
📋 Documentation
- Playback backend unification investigation. Six new specs in
docs/specs/ record why the playback backends cannot be unified
onto a single engine: every candidate (mpv, GStreamer, libVLC) fails the same
webview-compositing constraint, because WebKitGTK/WebView2/Android WebView each
own their compositor surface and native video cannot interleave with HTML.
Audio can unify; video cannot. Also specifies the Android native-video spike,
a Windows native audio backend, and the
libmpv2migration.
🐛 Corrected requirement statuses
These were documented as working and were not. No behaviour changed — the docs were wrong.
- Crossfade (UR-031, DR-034) was marked "Done (Linux only)". It is implemented
nowhere, and is architecturally blocked on mpv: its audio chain is
single-stream, and FFmpeg's
acrossfaderequires two inputs. Real crossfade would need two libmpv instances. - The platform parity matrix listed crossfade as a Linux/Android gap (it is neither) and omitted the equalizer (which was a genuine gap, now closed).
nativeAdapter.tscited tauri#10152 as blocking native Android video. That issue is a stale feature request; the capability shipped in September 2024. What remains unproven is SurfaceView-behind-WebView compositing, now tracked by a spec rather than asserted as an upstream blocker.
v0.1.2
✨ Features
- Search results are ordered by how well they match. A name that starts with the query now 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, so a series lands above its own episodes. Ranking is applied to the instant cached results and to the merged cache+server list alike, so the list no longer reshuffles when server results arrive. (UR-060, DR-090)
- Separate Shows, Episodes and People result groups. The combined "TV Shows" group splits into Shows and Episodes so a show never competes with its own episodes for a slot, and a new People group means searching an actor's name reaches their bio page. Default order is Shows → Episodes → Movies → Songs → Albums → Artists → People; a group order saved before the split keeps the position it was dragged to. (UR-060, DR-091)
🐛 Bug Fixes
- The library header search bar works on every library page. It previously
searched in place and depended on
/libraryrendering results inline, so on any other/library/**route the results were fetched and never shown./searchis now the single surface that renders results, and the header bar hands its query and scope over via the URL. (UR-049, DR-063) - Video smaller than the window is scaled up to fit. Sizing only ever shrank oversized media, so a 480p source on a 1080p display played as a small picture in the middle of a black frame. The picture now fits whichever axis constrains it, in both directions, preserving aspect ratio. (UR-005)
