The media server was starting at app launch and polling every 250ms
even when not using Chromecast/DLNA casting. Now it only starts when
the user actually tries to cast audio.
- Add loading="lazy" decoding="async" to images in AlbumCard, ArtistDetailView
- Convert AlbumCard hover from JS state to CSS :hover (fewer re-renders)
- Reduce IntersectionObserver thresholds from 4 to 1 in ArtistDetailView
- Reduce default audio cache from 500MB to 200MB
- Playback state polling: 1000ms when paused, 250ms when playing
- Audio thread timeout: 500ms when idle, 100ms when playing
- Lyrics interval: self-check to auto-stop when conditions not met
- Add cleanup return to lyrics in +page.svelte
- Add build-and-run.sh and monitor-resources.sh scripts
- Add OPTIMIZATION_PLAN.md documentation
- Switch to GNOME SDK 48 which includes webkit2gtk-4.1
- Install Node.js 20 LTS directly from tarball (no SDK extension needed)
- Install Rust via rustup for latest stable version
- Add flatpak build directories to .gitignore
SDK 24.08 doesn't have javascriptcoregtk-4.1 (uses webkit 6.0).
SDK 23.08 has Rust 1.81 which doesn't support edition2024.
Solution: use SDK 23.08 with webkit2gtk 4.1 but install Rust via rustup.
The zbus 5.x crate requires Rust edition2024 which needs Rust 1.85+.
SDK 23.08 only has Rust 1.81. Upgrade to 24.08 which has a newer Rust.
Also upgrade node extension from node20 to node22.
Linux workflow:
- Remove xdg-portal feature from tauri-plugin-dialog to fix ashpd/zbus version incompatibility
- The ashpd 0.11.0 crate has breaking changes with zbus 5.x
Flatpak workflow:
- Use build-options.append-path instead of shell export to properly set PATH for SDK extensions
- This ensures npm/rust binaries are available in all build commands
- Add api_keys module with store for user-provided credentials (Spotify, Tidal, Discogs)
- Add commands to get/set/clear credentials for each provider
- Update providers to check user credentials first (priority: user > embedded > env)
- Add collapsible API Keys section to SettingsView
- Show status badges (Active, Custom, Not configured) for each provider
- Store user credentials in localStorage with backend sync
- Add option_env! for Discogs, Spotify, Tidal credentials
- Credentials embedded in binary during CI build
- Falls back to runtime env vars for development/user override
- Add secrets to GitHub Actions workflows for Linux and Flatpak builds
- Fix Linux build: add libasound2-dev, libssl-dev
- Fix Flatpak build: use --user flag for flatpak operations
- Mark DLNA/Chromecast casting as complete in ROADMAP
- Note AirPlay as deferred (no Rust RAOP library)
- Add Network Casting section to README features
- Add cast/ module to project structure
- Update v1.0 launch status: all 6 items complete
- Add handleSaveQueueAsPlaylist() to collect queue track IDs
- Wire QueuePanel "Save as Playlist" button to open playlist modal
- Comment out AirPlay commands in lib.rs (RAOP not implemented)
- Comment out AirPlay state initialization
- Move documentation files to qbz-nix-docs/ directory
AirPlay research concluded no viable Rust RAOP library exists.
Feature deferred until custom implementation or library emerges.
See qbz-nix-docs/AIRPLAY_IMPLEMENTATION_STATUS.md for details.
- Remove AirPlay tab from CastPicker (keep code for future)
- Disable AirPlay discovery/polling to reduce network traffic
- Add comprehensive technical brief at docs/AIRPLAY_IMPLEMENTATION_STATUS.md
documenting what's complete, what's missing, and potential solutions
AirPlay discovery code is preserved and working - only the UI and
network calls are disabled. Can be re-enabled once RAOP sender is implemented.
Frontend:
- Add castStore for managing cast state (connect, disconnect, play, pause, etc)
- Update CastPicker to use castStore, show connected device banner with disconnect
- Wire isCastConnected to NowPlayingBar and ExpandedPlayer for visual indicator
- Modify playbackService to cast when connected instead of local playback
DLNA Backend:
- Implement full AVTransport SOAP client with:
- SetAVTransportURI with DIDL-Lite metadata
- Play, Pause, Stop, Seek actions
- RenderingControl SetVolume
- Add dlna_play_track command that fetches stream, downloads audio, and serves via media server
- Share media server between Chromecast and DLNA
- Fetch full track info from Qobuz API when restoring session
- Populate albumId and artistId for working album/artist links
- Show correct quality badge (bitDepth/sampleRate) instead of placeholder
- Fallback to cached data if API call fails
- Add 50ms delay after setMinSize before setSize to prevent race condition
- Remove setDecorations(true) on restore - app uses custom title bar (CSD)
- Keep decorations: false throughout miniplayer mode transitions
- Add 'buffering' toast type that doesn't auto-hide
- Add shimmer animation to "Buffering" text
- Add spinning loader icon for buffering state
- Toast shows "Buffering... [track name]" format
- Dismiss buffering toast when track loads or on error
- Remove callback pattern, use toastStore directly in services
fix(artwork): show empty placeholder when no artwork available
- NowPlayingBar shows empty placeholder instead of Play icon
- Miniplayer shows empty placeholder instead of Play icon
- Prevents showing incorrect CD placeholder on session restore
- Top section: artwork (square) + track info with restore button
- Track info shows "Artist — Album" format
- Full-width seek bar in middle
- Bottom: media controls left, window controls right (queue, pin)
- Move drag handler to artwork-section and track-info only, not parent
- Buttons in window-controls and controls-row now receive clicks
- Enable window resizing in miniplayer mode
- Reduce cover art width from 180px to 110px (~60% of original)
- Changed dimensions to 400x200
- Reduced shadow area padding from 8px to 4px
- Added 6px margin around album art
- Fixed TypeError on qState.tracks.length with null checks
- Increased font sizes and control button sizes for larger window
- Added core:window:allow-set-min-size permission
- Call setMinSize(300x140) before setSize to allow smaller window
- Restore original minSize (800x600) when exiting miniplayer
- Added more console logs for debugging
- Use localStorage to persist original window state across navigation
- Add 4px margin frame around the player with rounded corners
- Darker background (#0f0f12) visible in the margin
- Box shadow for depth effect
- Removed isMiniplayerMode guards that prevented restore
- Added startPolling/stopPolling for seekbar to update properly
- Removed border-radius to fix white corners issue
- Added queue button with track count badge
- Simplified CSS to solid background color
- MiniPlayer now resizes the main window instead of creating a separate floating window
- Cider-inspired UI with large album art, track info, full playback controls
- Progress bar with current/remaining time display
- Shuffle, repeat, volume controls integrated
- Pin/restore buttons to control always-on-top and return to main view
- Fixed tray icon to use transparent PNG from static/icons
- Create miniplayerService.ts for window management
- Add /miniplayer route with compact player UI
- Sync playback state from main window via events
- MiniPlayer features:
- Draggable window (decorations disabled)
- Always-on-top toggle (pin button)
- Album art, track title, artist
- Play/Pause, Next, Previous controls
- Progress bar
- Close button (hides window)
- Add PictureInPicture2 button to NowPlayingBar
- State synced via emitTo('miniplayer', ...) events
- Enable debouncedSavePosition() during playback state updates
(saves position every 5 seconds while playing)
- Flush position save immediately when pausing
- Add periodic full session save every 30 seconds during playback
- Persist volume changes to session immediately
- Persist shuffle/repeat mode changes to session immediately
This fixes the race condition where async saves in beforeunload
wouldn't complete before app close. Now we save frequently enough
that the worst case is losing only 5-30 seconds of progress.
- Add conditional compilation for get_pipewire_sinks():
- Linux: Uses pactl to get PipeWire/PulseAudio sinks with volume info
- macOS/Windows: Uses cpal to enumerate audio devices (no volume)
- AboutModal: Detect platform and show macOS or Linux label
- Easter egg: Tux penguin is 64px on Mac (asserts dominance)
- Remove suggested tracks feature (no similarity algorithm)
- Fix collage to show 3-4 covers properly in square format
- Covers now fill full height, cropped on sides as needed
- Fixed grid card layout with header row (drag handle left, edit right)
- Fixed 180px card width with 160px artwork
- Added playlist search bar for both list and grid views
- Replaced hide/show button with edit button (opens PlaylistModal)
- Clean separation of clickable content area
