The file was not declared in repository/mod.rs and imported crate::api::jellyfin,
a module that does not exist. It had never been built, let alone run.
Dead would be reason enough, but it was worse than dead. Its mock reimplemented
the URL builders and then asserted against itself, and online.rs still carries
the comment recording where that leads: the mock used the correct stream.mp4
endpoint while the real implementation shipped /Videos/{id}/download, which 404s
on real servers and silently broke every movie and TV download. The "test" stayed
green throughout. Its own test_image_url_basic asserted api_key= appears in image
URLs while the mock two lines above it documented the opposite.
Deleted rather than revived: it asserts on constructed URL strings, which is the
pattern the mock-server harness replaces. The lesson it left is preserved in the
online.rs comment that referenced it — assert against a response from a mock
server, never against a mock that re-derives the thing under test.

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.
