dtourolle ab95f5013d feat(player): make native Android video the default
The two defects that were holding the flip back are fixed and verified on a
device, which is the standard this default has been held to since DR-161 shipped
a verified sub-path over an unverified one:

  - returning from background audio restarts the renderer that is actually on
    screen, instead of only ever reloading the <video> element (DR-196)
  - the letterbox bars are painted, instead of retaining whatever was last in
    the framebuffer (DR-194)

Evidence: handoff to audio-only 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 anyone who turned the
flag off keeps it off — hence the null check on the stored value rather than a
bare === "true", which would silently re-enable it for people who opted out.

The Settings copy no longer tells users to leave it off; it now describes the
toggle as the fallback to the built-in web player.

The flag keeps its "experimental" name because it remains a suppressor of Rust's
backend choice, never a promoter: turning it on cannot produce a native backend
where Rust says HTML5.

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).

Getting Started

This project uses bun as its package manager.

# Activate the Rust environment (fish shell)
source "$HOME/.cargo/env.fish"

# Install dependencies
bun install

# Run in development
bun run tauri dev

# Type-check the frontend
bun run check

# Build for Linux
bun run tauri build

# Build for Android
bun run tauri android build

For the full set of build, test, and Android helper scripts, see scripts/README.md.
