dtourolle e5d3cc06f2 fix(android): register WebView JS bridges once; stop audio-focus fight
Locking the screen killed audio on video playback even with the
background-audio toggle armed.

configureWebViewForMedia() ran from onCreate's delayed post AND from
every onResume, re-calling addJavascriptInterface on each pass — five
times in a 45s session. WebView binds injected objects at page-load
time, so re-injecting over a live page leaves JS holding a stale proxy:
the object stays truthy (passing the `bridge()?.` optional chain) while
its methods vanish. Logcat showed 66 "WebView: Unknown object" errors
and, in JS, "TypeError: setEnabled is not a function".

So the toggle turned blue but never reached native. backgroundAudioEnabled
stayed false, onStop never dispatched 'jellytau-background', the handoff
never ran, and audio stopped the instant the screen locked. PiP and audio
focus broke identically.

- Register the bridges exactly once per WebView (identity-compared), and
  split the idempotent settings/chrome-client work into
  configureWebViewSettings() so it still runs on every resume.
- Forward WebView console output to logcat as "JellyTauWeb". The frontend
  was previously invisible to adb, which is what made this bug so hard to
  place; keep it for the next boundary-spanning diagnosis.
- setBackgroundAudioEnabled now reports whether native was actually
  reached instead of silently no-oping, so a dead bridge can never again
  masquerade as an armed toggle.

Removing the re-injection revived a latent conflict it had been masking:
the focus calls started working, and three AUDIOFOCUS_GAIN requesters
inside one uid began fighting — MainActivity, ExoPlayer, and Chromium's
own AudioFocusDelegate. The grant was followed ~45ms later by
AUDIOFOCUS_LOSS, whose handler paused playback, so arming background
audio (or just pressing play) paused the video in a loop.

WebView already manages focus for <video>. Drop the redundant
AndroidAudioFocus bridge, its listeners and its helpers entirely, and
leave focus to whichever engine is actually rendering — consistent with
the player-is-authoritative principle.

Also drops the dead AndroidBackgroundAudio.isSupported() probe, unused
since the button gate moved to platform().

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.
