Rust already reported `use_html5_element: false` on Android, but two frontend overrides threw that answer away, so ExoPlayer's video path had never actually run. Both are lifted behind an `experimentalNativeVideo` opt-in (default off). The flag is a suppressor, never a promoter: off forces HTML5 even where Rust says native, so an in-progress spike cannot ship as the default, but it can never select native where Rust reported HTML5 — Linux cannot composite behind WebKitGTK, and promoting there would be a black screen. Two blockers the spec did not anticipate, both in code assumed to be merely unreachable rather than broken: - `JellyTauPlayer.setActivity()` had zero callers, so `currentActivity` was always null and `autoAttachSurface()` bailed. The SurfaceView was created and wired to ExoPlayer but never added to the view hierarchy — video would have decoded to a surface that was never on screen, whatever the webview did. This also revives PiP on the video path, which gated on the same flag. - `createAdapter()` was not the real gate; it is never called in production. The actual override was in VideoPlayer.svelte, which forced HTML5 and stopped the native backend `player_play_item` had just started. Both sites now route through `createAdapter()`. Compositing needs two independent opaque layers cleared, not one. Clearing only the page leaves the WebView widget opaque — audio over a black picture, exactly the symptom the old INTERIM comment described. `videoSurface.ts` toggles both: the widget background and window drawable from Kotlin, the page backgrounds via a `data-native-video` attribute keyed by app.css. Transparency lives in `tauri.android.conf.json` so Linux keeps an opaque window, and is scoped to the playback session so the launcher never shows through the rest of the app. Phase 3's rect plumbing turned out to be unnecessary: video is fullscreen on the player route, and `fitSurfaceToScreen()` already letterboxes and re-fits on rotation. The mini-player transition remains unverified on device. Also removes the `navigator.userAgent` sniffing in webviewAudio.ts, which was a second copy of the Rust cfg gate free to drift from it. `player_get_capabilities` now reports `usesWebviewAudio` and `supportsNativeVideo` from those same gates. Tests: adapter selection covers the full matrix, including the regression guard that the flag off beats Rust. Written first and confirmed failing (2 of 7) before the fix.

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.

# 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
