The lockscreen controls drifted out of sync, especially while casting, and couldn't control remote playback. Two media sessions were competing (a Media3 MediaSession driving transport vs a MediaSessionCompat driving the notification), position was only pushed on play/pause so the scrubber froze mid-track, and remote mode showed stale local metadata with dead buttons. - Make MediaSessionCompat the single source of truth; route all transport commands (both the Compat callback and the Media3 wrappedPlayer) through Rust via nativeOnMediaCommand instead of touching ExoPlayer directly. - Push position on every 250ms tick via a lightweight updatePlaybackPosition, and report 0.0 playback speed when paused so Android stops extrapolating. - Mirror the remote session's now-playing onto the lockscreen from the native session poller (works while the screen is locked, unlike WebView timers) via a new player::update_lockscreen_metadata JNI bridge. - Make MediaSessionHandler mode-aware: in remote mode forward play/pause/next/ prev/seek to the remote Jellyfin session; Stop while casting emits RemoteDisconnectRequested, which the frontend handles by transferring to local.

JellyTau
A cross-platform Jellyfin client built with Tauri, SvelteKit, and TypeScript.
Business logic lives in a Rust backend; a UI-rich Svelte frontend handles presentation and talks to it over Tauri's IPC. Targets Linux (libmpv) and Android (ExoPlayer).
