The download worker built its HTTP client with `Client::timeout(300s)`, which in reqwest is a total deadline that runs until the response body has finished. Every transfer longer than five minutes was cut off mid-body as "error decoding response body" and retried. A transcode ignores `Range`, so each retry restarted from byte zero, met the same deadline, and after three attempts the download failed — no feature film at transcode speed ever completed on a device whose audio must be re-encoded, and a large direct copy limped through in five-minute slices with a backoff between each. A connect timeout plus a read timeout that resets on every chunk catches a dead connection without capping how long a healthy transfer may run. Red first: a loopback server dribbling a body three times longer than the timeout failed with the old client (and burned the whole retry budget) and passes now; a second test hangs the socket and shows the stall is still detected.

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.
