Recently Added still listed a newly-imported album one song at a time. GroupItems=true asks Jellyfin to collapse leaves into their container, but the server only groups a track whose parent chain actually resolves a MusicAlbum, and older servers ignore the parameter outright — so the raw leaves kept arriving. The home row passes no library, so the offline branch (which collapses in SQL) contributes nothing there and the server's answer *is* the row. Group again in the online repository, so the shape of the row is a property of this app rather than of the server it happens to be talking to: - A track naming an album_id collapses into one MusicAlbum card, placed where the first of its tracks stood so recency order survives. The card keeps the artwork, album name and artists; track number, duration, album link, streams and per-track user data stay with the leaf. - If the server did return the album row, that row wins and its tracks are dropped — it carries detail a track-built stand-in cannot. - Tracks with no album, movies, episodes and folders pass through untouched. - Collapsing only shrinks a listing, so the request over-fetches 3x and truncates afterwards; otherwise one 14-track import left the row nearly empty. Episodes are still grouped only by the server, so a freshly added season can flood the row the same way — same fix applies if it shows up.

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.
