dtourolle bb3ab1edd7 feat(windows): mpv draws Windows video into the app window
DR-237's video half. mpv now renders Windows video the way
tauri-plugin-libmpv does on Windows: MpvBackend is handed the main
window's HWND and sets it as `wid` before mpv initialises, so mpv draws
as a child of the app window beneath the transparent WebView2, with
vo=gpu-next,gpu. osc, default bindings, VO keyboard and cursor handling
are off, so the Svelte controls drawn over the picture are the only ones.

- video_output() decides per platform (UT-274): Window(hwnd) on Windows,
  RenderApi on Linux, Off without native video. Windows with no handle
  draws nothing rather than letting mpv open a top-level window.
- native_video::enabled() is true on Windows as well, so the frontend
  takes the native path there: NativePlayerAdapter, and the page clears
  its background while video is on screen.
- enableNativeVideoCompositing() no longer logs a missing Android bridge
  as an error on the desktop, where there is no bridge to have.

Verified: every option, wid included, is accepted by the real libmpv on
Linux and by the shipped Windows DLL under wine; the Windows unit suite
passes under wine (949). Not yet seen on real Windows hardware.

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.

Contributing

CONTRIBUTING.md covers the setup, the gates a change has to pass, and the two rules that catch people out (bug fixes start with a failing test; Jellyfin's taxonomy stays in Rust). Please also read the Code of Conduct.

Verifying a download

Every release publishes SHA256SUMS covering all of its artifacts, plus an SBOM of what went into the build:

sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS

Desktop builds update themselves from Settings → Updates, verifying each payload against JellyTau's signing key before installing. Android installs are handled by the system installer, so the app links to the releases page instead.

VS Code + Svelte + Tauri + rust-analyzer.
