Listings matched children on four columns at once (parent_id, album_id, season_id, series_id) because Jellyfin's ParentId is the storage parent, not the logical one. The OR defeated the planner into a full scan, and it was wrong: every episode carries its series id, so a series listed all its episodes beside its seasons (on both the browse and Downloads surfaces). - Migration 027 adds items.container_id, a VIRTUAL generated column (episode -> season/series/parent, season -> series, track -> album, else parent) indexed with (sort_name, name), so a listing is one ordered index range and every write path is covered untouched. - Containers never cached (an episode that arrived via Next Up) get placeholders named from the child's own fields, in the migration and on every cache write, so offline navigation stays series -> season. - The six queries that built the set of every downloaded item in a CTE (get_item, latest, recently played, search, favourites, by-person, Downloads) now check availability per row with one shared predicate. - PRAGMA optimize at open gives the planner statistics. Benchmark (~110k items, desktop): series listing ~80 ms -> <1 ms; migration 027 upgrades that database in ~0.1 s (0.2 s on the Fairphone). Tests first: a series listing its episodes, and the Downloads series drill, both failed before the change.

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.
Recommended IDE Setup
VS Code + Svelte + Tauri + rust-analyzer.
