A play can take seconds before audio starts (esp. Plex, whose resolve downloads
the whole file) with no feedback today. Add a source-agnostic loading indicator:
- A loading flag keyed to PENDING_PLAY_ID, raised at the top of play_audible
(before the Plex/Qobuz/local resolve — single chokepoint, covers auto-advance)
and cleared by the poll loop when the requested track's audio actually starts
(position > 0). Cleared on every play-error early-return and force-cleared on
queue-finished / peer-controller / ephemeral-stop so it never sticks.
- Watchdog: force-clear after 45s if the engine accepted a play that silently
never advances (undecodable-but-valid file) — otherwise the spinner is eternal.
- Spinner on three surfaces driven by NowPlayingState.loading: now-playing bar
(cover overlay + play/pause button), the active track row's play cell, and the
album big play button (gated to the album actually being launched).
Audio backend / playback routing untouched. The spinner only communicates the
wait; the underlying Plex fetch latency is fixed separately (progressive streaming).
cc
The Plex artwork-perf slice added urlencoding/url to qbz-models; the lockfile
sync only landed in crates/Cargo.lock. src-tauri depends on qbz-models, so its
lockfile needs the same entries (no behavior change).
cc
Hydration:
- qbz-plex: additive plex_hydrate_album_quality(base, token, rating_keys) — per
key plex_get_track_metadata (batch 5, 5s/call timeout, skip failures) then the
COALESCE write-back plex_cache_update_track_quality; awaited before re-read.
- qbz-player/qbz-core: patch_plex_quality / patch_plex_queue_quality patch the
in-memory queue in place by rating_key (for the now-playing stamp).
- qbz-slint: album-open trigger (gated on DB-NULL, not a value heuristic) then
refresh of all badge surfaces — album-card grid (re-read aggregate + patch
every model + the raw filter source), album-detail header + rows, now-playing
stamp. Re-sync stays routed through plex_cache_save_tracks (carry-over).
Quality badge consistency (the four surfaces must agree — and pre-hydration
show the filetype, not nothing):
- One shared classifier crate::quality::badge(format, bit_depth, sample_rate) ->
(tier, detail, tooltip); the album card, album-detail header and track rows
all route through it (kills the per-surface duplication that produced
"96 kHz" vs "96000 kHz"). sample_rate normalized to kHz via a >=1000 guard so
Qobuz's already-kHz values are never re-divided (no "0.041 kHz").
- New "lossless" tier: an un-hydrated lossless file (FLAC/WAV/ALAC… with unknown
bit depth) shows a generic filetype badge ("FLAC") instead of an empty badge,
rendered in QualityBadge (compact chip) + QualityBadgeFull; upgrades to
"24-bit / 96 kHz" after hydration. Local/Qobuz/mp3 unchanged.
cc
Plex cover images were fetched full-res on every surface (Slint built the raw
/library/.../thumb URL), where Tauri requests a server-transcoded thumb sized to
the render target. On a real library this made the views feel heavy and starved
the LAN bandwidth that track playback needs.
- qbz-models: ArtworkRef::PlexThumb gains a size: Option<u32>; new plex_thumb_url()
emits the Tauri-format transcode URL when Some
(/photo/:/transcode?url={enc}&width=N&height=N&minSize=1&X-Plex-Token=), raw
tokenized path when None (album/MPRIS full-res preserved). urlencoding dep added
to match encodeURIComponent. Tests extended.
- qbz-slint: each PlexThumb construction site passes its surface decode size
(grid/detail 264, queue/now-playing-item 96, now-playing bar 160, MPRIS full-res);
fetch_and_decode_ref uses plex_thumb_url.
- artwork.rs: static LazyLock<reqwest::Client> reused in fetch_cached_http instead
of reqwest::get (per-image client) — keep-alive + no fd churn (EMFILE smell).
Audio path untouched; local/Qobuz artwork unchanged.
cc
A Plex queue track's artwork was file://-prefixed onto its raw /library/ thumb
path, breaking the cover on all three surfaces. Approach (b) from the funnel
review: keep the raw path in QueueTrack.artwork_url (token never persisted) and
resolve to a fresh tokenized PlexThumb from live plex_settings creds at each
surface.
- qbz-models: additive QueueTrack::artwork_ref_with_plex(base_url, token) — a raw
/library or /photo path + creds => ArtworkRef::PlexThumb, else falls back to
artwork_ref() (http/file:// unchanged). 4 regression tests.
- playback.rs: local_queue_track keeps the raw path for Plex rows (no file://
poison); refresh_now_playing_meta uses artwork_ref_with_plex -> fixes the
now-playing bar, MPRIS (to_mpris_url), and the desktop notification.
- queue.rs: load_artwork threads creds + a PlexThumb branch for the queue panel.
- Local/Qobuz/ephemeral artwork byte-for-byte unchanged.
cc
Both tabs were Plex-blind. Loader-level merge (no qbz-library change):
- qbz-plex: additive PlexCachedArtist + plex_cache_get_artists() (aggregates
the flat plex_cache_tracks by normalized artist) + plex_cache_count_tracks().
- Artists tab: fold Plex artists into the local set before merge_artists
(same-name local+Plex collapse, summed tracks); artist-detail album grid +
counts switch to the Plex-aware get_albums_metadata_page; portraits fall back
custom/Qobuz -> Plex thumb -> album cover, dispatched via spawn_local_or_plex_loads.
- Tracks tab: prepend the bounded Plex set (<=5000) once at offset 0; later
pages stay pure-local so the virtualized 16K-row LIMIT/OFFSET path is intact.
- Tracks badge now includes the Plex count (matches albums/artists badges).
- All gated on plex_settings enabled (Plex OFF = byte-for-byte local-only).
Plex track id namespaced into [2^40, 2^41) so it cannot collide with local
track ids (< 2^40) or ephemeral ids (>= 2^48) in the merged Tracks tab — the
string rating_key is preserved in file_path, so playback is unaffected.
cc
Plex tracks produced no audio: local_queue_track had no "plex" arm so they were
enqueued as source="local", and there was no Plex resolve+play path.
- local_queue_track tags source="plex" and carries the string rating_key in
source_item_id_hint (the numeric queue id is a hashed/parsed form; the resolve
needs the original key); persisted in the session queue store.
- play_audible gains a "plex" arm -> play_plex_audible.
- play_plex_audible: qbz_plex::plex_resolve_track_media(base, token, rating_key)
-> player.play_data(bytes, id), mirroring the local-file seam. Bit-perfect:
play_data drives device init from the DECODED bytes; Plex metadata is
display-only. Covers album play, single track, and auto-advance.
cc
Albums tab only (Artists + flat Tracks tab remain Plex-blind — next slice):
- Albums loader switches to get_albums_metadata_page(.., Some(plex_cache_path))
so the plex_aggregated union surfaces Plex albums alongside local; gated on
plex_settings enabled (None path = local-only, no regression). seed_counts
uses the page total so the badge includes Plex.
- Album-detail branches group_key "plex:" -> qbz_plex::plex_cache_get_album_tracks,
mapped to LocalTrack (rating_key in file_path, source=plex, album name into
album_group_title for the detail header).
- Source-aware grid + album-detail-header covers via spawn_local_or_plex_loads:
a /library|/photo path with creds becomes ArtworkRef::PlexThumb, else LocalFile.
Queue/now-playing/MPRIS artwork untouched (that is slice 4).
- Truthful module/Albums-tab docs.
cc
Fresh Slint-only Plex integration foundation (Tauri untouched; the Tauri
code is slated for deletion at port end, so creds are not shared):
- slice 0: fix the false Plex docs in local_library.rs
- slice 1: add the qbz-plex dependency to qbz-slint
- slice 2a: qbz-app/settings/plex.rs per-user store (10 fields, idempotent
4->11 column migration keeping creds, 8 tests) - frontend-agnostic,
no tauri::State (ADR-006)
- slice 2b: Settings > Local Library Plex section, 1:1 with the complete
Tauri feature - master toggle + collapse, LAN-only address gate, PIN auth
(2500ms poll, self-stopping on section-leave/expiry/disconnect),
manual-token fallback, ping + machine-id capture, multi-section pick
(default-all), disconnect vs clear-cache; once-per-session background
refresh (no cache_clear churn on section re-entry)
cc
Ephemeral folders: open / browse / play a folder without indexing it —
album-grouped pane, CUE seek fast-path (no full re-decode per virtual track),
folder-path persistence + rehydrate, "already playing" add-vs-replace choice
dialog (ephemeral-only), and now-playing / queue / menu gating so an ephemeral
track exposes no persistence actions.
Folders tree brought 1:1 with Tauri:
- Rail header: select-mode, collapse-all, open-ephemeral, tree search.
- Resizable rail (default ~20% narrower; drag handle, min 50% default /
max 50% of the content area).
- Subfolder cover grid + grid/list toggle, recursive track count, name search;
compact icon bulk bar (folder-check / play-next / queue / playlist / clear).
- Tree is the default mode; circular checkboxes homologated with TrackRow;
compact rows (smaller type + icon, no ambiguous trailing count).
- Flat/Tree icon toggle (disc-album / folder-tree), floated right.
Per-source TrackRow context menu (logic, not a blanket trim): Qobuz/offline =
full; local = play/next/queue + add-to-playlist; plex/ephemeral = play/next/
queue only.
App-wide standard: Math.round pixel-snap on icon centering across the UI to
kill sub-pixel blur (CircleAction, header back/forward/collapse, and the rest).
NowPlayingBar context icon -> turntable (frees disc-album for the Folders
toggle). New assets: folder-check, folder-tree, turntable.
cc
Lift the in-memory ephemeral-folder library (synthetic-id store + folder
scan / metadata / CUE handling) out of the Tauri binary into a
frontend-agnostic qbz-library module (ADR-006), so both the Tauri and Slint
frontends consume identical logic. src-tauri/ephemeral_library now re-exports
it as a thin shim. Adds tracks_snapshot() / current_folder_path() for the
Slint consumer.
cc
Port the Tauri desktop-notification path to a frontend-agnostic crate so the
Slint app (and any future TUI/CLI) fires it from native Rust instead of a
webview invoke.
New qbz-media-controls::notify module:
- Linux: XDG notification portal via ashpd (D-Bus); album art passed as
Icon::Bytes after center-crop + downscale to <=512px + PNG re-encode (<=4 MiB).
- macOS: notify_rust with image_path (cover cached to disk).
- Windows: no-op (parity with Tauri).
- Self-contained artwork download + md5 cache + resize, matching the Tauri
helpers, with no dependency on the frontend (ADR-006).
Wired in playback::refresh_now_playing_meta (the same point that pushes the
tray tooltip + OS media controls):
- De-dupe by track id so only an actual track change fires (the refresh also
runs on resume/seek).
- Skip while a remote QConnect renderer drives playback (matches the Svelte
skipIfRemote). Fire-and-forget on a tokio task.
Enabled by default, matching the Tauri default; a settings toggle is a
follow-up.
cc
Replace the tray-icon/muda macOS backend with a hand-rolled NSStatusItem +
NSMenu built directly on objc2 0.5 / app-kit 0.2 (the same objc2 generation
winit 0.30 uses), so the menu lives in winit's NSApplication runtime and the
target-action dispatches. tray-icon's bundled muda collided with the muda
Slint's winit backend already registers and never fired the menu items. This
drops the tray-icon dependency and its whole GTK tree from the lockfile.
- Menu-bar icon pinned to 18pt via NSImage::setSize; the 44px PNG was
rendering at native pixel size (giant icon).
- The status button gets its own target-action firing on left AND right
mouse-up: left-click toggles the window, right/control-click pops the menu
transiently (setMenu -> performClick -> clear, the non-deprecated
replacement for popUpStatusItemMenu:). The menu is no longer permanently
attached, so a left-click no longer opens it.
- Add the NSEvent feature to objc2-app-kit.
cc
Port the Tauri normalizeCoverUrlForMetadata workaround as ArtworkRef::to_mpris_url
(qbz-models): remote Qobuz covers pass through as-is, local-file covers become a
percent-encoded file:// URI (MPRIS clients cannot read bare paths or asset://),
Plex thumbs become a tokenized HTTP URL. Wired into the Slint now-playing push so
the media widget shows album art. The app icon was already fixed via DesktopEntry.
cc
GNOME resolves the MPRIS media-widget app icon via DesktopEntry -> the installed
<id>.desktop -> Icon=. Rename the Arch desktop file to com.blitzfc.qbz.desktop,
set Icon=com.blitzfc.qbz, and install the hicolor icon as com.blitzfc.qbz.png so
the basename matches the published DesktopEntry. Other channels (AUR/Gentoo/Snap
+ Tauri bundle/release workflow) documented in qbz-nix-docs (release-time,
build-test required). Flatpak was already correct.
cc
New frontend-agnostic crate qbz-media-controls (ADR-006): one MediaIntegration
trait, cfg-split backends. Linux uses mpris-server and publishes the MPRIS
org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.DesktopEntry property as com.blitzfc.qbz — the only way
GNOME Shell resolves the app icon for its media widget (souvlaki, the old
cross-platform crate, never set it, so GNOME showed no icon; KDE is lenient).
macOS/Windows keep souvlaki (MediaRemote/SMTC), where the icon comes from the
app bundle, not a DesktopEntry. The Linux server runs on a dedicated thread
with its own tokio runtime; state arrives over an async channel.
Wired into qbz-slint via src/media_controls.rs: started on shell entry,
metadata/playback pushed from the playback paths (mirroring the tray), and
inbound control events (media keys, the desktop media widget, Now Playing)
dispatched to the player through the existing QConnect-aware helpers. Both
Linux and macOS compile clean.
cc
Attempt to fix macOS tray menu items doing nothing: a bare `cargo run`
binary is not a bundled .app, so macOS does not dispatch NSStatusItem
menu-item target-actions (the menu shows, items enabled, but clicks fire
nothing). Force the app to a Regular, active application at tray creation
via objc2-app-kit setActivationPolicy(.regular) + activate(), and switch
menu handling to MenuEvent::set_event_handler with a diagnostic log.
NOTE: NOT verified at runtime on macOS yet (pending the user's GUI test). If
the menu still does nothing, look for the '[tray] menu item activated' log
line to tell whether the handler fires.
cc
Add the NSStatusItem (macOS) / Shell_NotifyIcon (Windows) tray via the
tray-icon crate: the same 5-item menu, left-click window toggle, a themed
icon (auto uses a macOS template image that adapts to the menu bar), a
static QBZ tooltip, and live icon-variant switching. tray_icon::TrayIcon is
!Send and (on macOS) must be built on the main thread with NSApplication
running, so it lives in a thread_local created via invoke_from_event_loop;
its events are drained from a slint::Timer.
macOS close-to-tray reuses the cross-platform Slint hide/show path. The
opt-in Hide Dock icon toggle switches the NSApplication activation policy to
.accessory while closed to the menu bar (.regular by default, Spotify-style)
via objc2-app-kit.
cc
Port the Tauri tray to Slint on Linux via ksni: themed icon (auto/mono/
color), left-click window toggle, middle-click play/pause, scroll volume,
the 5-item menu, and a live tooltip reflecting the now-playing track. Tray
actions call the playback controller directly (QConnect-aware) instead of
emitting webview events. Settings reuse the shared qbz-app tray store
(per-user) wired through AppearanceState.
Window hide/show uses Slint window.hide()/show() (winit set_visible is a
no-op on Wayland) and the loop runs via run_event_loop_until_quit so a
tray-hide keeps the app alive. close-to-tray is honored on both the custom
titlebar close and the WM close (on_close_requested). minimize-to-tray is
hidden until custom window chrome exists.
cc
Add a mac_hide_dock column (with migration) to the shared tray settings
store for the upcoming macOS close-to-tray Dock-icon toggle, and flip the
close_to_tray default to true (opt-out: closing sends the window to the
tray and keeps the app running).
cc
Add drag-and-drop reordering to the Queue sidebar: a per-row drag handle, a
floating drag ghost, and a drop indicator. When a QConnect transport is
connected the reorder is routed to the cloud (CtrlSrvrQueueReorderTracks) so
order stays WS-authoritative; otherwise it moves the local queue track via
core().move_track. The Flickable is non-interactive so a stale pressed_time
cannot strand the gesture and leave phantom scroll after release.
cc
The take-renderer-when-idle path never fired: capture_session_state_takeover_input
parsed active_renderer_id raw. The cloud encodes "nobody active" as -1, which was
read as Some(-1) and classified as a peer being active (OtherPaused), so
compute_connection_state returned should_set_active_renderer: false and the
auto-take was suppressed. Normalize identically to the apply path
(normalize_active_renderer_id filters >= 0 -> None) so -1 maps to
ServerActiveState::None and the idle auto-take claims the render. Adds the
auto_take_when_idle decision to compute_connection_state plus regression tests
for the -1 / active-peer classification.
cc
Local toggle_play always called resume(), which fails with "cannot resume -
no audio data available" when the player holds no loaded stream — e.g. a
freshly materialized QConnect renderer queue whose cursor sits on a track that
was never loaded. Detect the no-loaded-audio case via Player::has_loaded_audio()
and load+play the current queue track instead of resuming. A normal pause keeps
the stream loaded, so the pause/resume path is unchanged.
cc
Shuffle and Repeat now go to the CLOUD whenever connected (renderer OR controller),
gating on transport_connected like Tauri's v2_toggle_shuffle / v2_set_repeat_mode,
instead of the old peer-active gate that fell through to a LOCAL reshuffle when QBZ
was the active renderer — that did nothing visible AND risked a divergent local
order. QBZ sends only the seed + pivot; the cloud owns the order; the toggle reads
the cloud-authoritative queue.shuffle_mode. The local shuffle path is now reachable
only when NOT connected.
- shuffle/repeat button reflects the cloud queue flag (queue.shuffle_mode for the
controller branch, core queue state via refresh_transport_modes for the renderer
branch), not the per-renderer field the cloud never populates for a peer — fixes
the iOS-reflects / WebPlayer-doesn't asymmetry.
- pause/play to a peer renderer: send a BARE SetPlayerState (playing_state only).
iOS reports current_queue_item_id=null while playing, so resolving the qid landed
on queue_item_id 0 — the protocol's "unknown" placeholder — and iOS could not
anchor the pause, auto-resuming. A bare transport toggle is spec-sanctioned: the
renderer pauses/resumes its own current item in place.
- skip_serializing_if on the SetPlayerState request structs so a None field is
OMITTED, not serialized as null; and the mapper now treats a null current_queue_item
as absent. Without this the bare command failed to encode and was never sent.
- log the outbound SetPlayerState payload for controller diagnostics.
cc
Version bump across Cargo/tauri/npm/snap/flake, metainfo release entry,
and TAG_DETAILS for 1.2.15. flake.nix hashes cleared (filled post-tag
via nix build once v1.2.15 exists).
cc
Discover and other image-heavy views created a fresh
reqwest::blocking::Client per image (and per notification artwork),
exhausting the process file-descriptor limit and crashing the app with
"Too many open files". Reuse a single shared client across downloads.
cc
Startup blocked on Qobuz's ~7 MB web bundle download with no cache or
timeout, so a slow CDN left the app on a blank screen for 25-30s before
the login screen appeared. Cache the extracted tokens on disk (keyed by
bundle version), apply them instantly on warm starts and refresh in the
background, and bound the cold fetch with a per-request timeout + retry.
The legacy api client shares the same cache. Emits BundleFetchStarted so
the UI can show a connecting state on the first run.
cc
- badge: gate is-remote on transport_connected so it clears on every session-end
path (transport drop / watchdog / reconnect-exhausted), not only toggle-off
- multi-track: route a whole album/playlist/favorites enqueue to the peer in one
QueueAddTracks/QueueInsertTracks (all-or-nothing admission), not single-track only
- shuffle inbound: SetShuffleMode renderer arm is flag-only (set_shuffle_flag) so the
renderer never invents a local order; the cloud's echoed order is authoritative
- shuffle outbound: send shuffle_seed + shuffle_pivot_queue_item_id (the cloud needs
the seed to build the order); hoist resolve_qconnect_shuffle_pivot to qconnect-app
- start index: resolve_remote_start_index validates the track_id before trusting a
qid, so a freshly-pushed album no longer inherits a stale cursor (wrong NowPlayingBar track)
- history: play_index records history only when actually moving, so the current track
is no longer duplicated in the History tab
- pause-to-peer: resolve current_queue_item from the core-aligned cursor instead of the
stale renderer snapshot, so pausing an iOS renderer (reports null qid) is accepted
cc
Restore ListScrollbar, TrackRow and AlbumPageView to their pre-scrollbar
state (always-visible scrollbars). The per-row hover-reveal only revealed
the bar over track rows, not over the whole scrollable viewport, so on
mixed-content views (Artist, Label) it felt incomplete. Card sizing
(Album/Playlist/Radio at 200px) is kept.
cc
- RadioCard enlarged to 200x246 to match Album/Playlist cards; ForYouView +
Spotlight row-width math updated to 200.
- Scrollbar hover-reveal: ListScrollbar gains a reveal prop (default true, no
regression) and fades on opacity; TrackRow exposes hover-changed; AlbumPageView
wired as the verified template (row-hover count -> reveal).
cc
AlbumCard and PlaylistCard are now 200x246 (was 220x266), with the larger
texts -2px and the smaller ones -1px. All album/playlist carousels and grids
follow (card-width/height 200/246) so nothing reflows: Carousel,
PlaylistCarousel, AlbumCollectionView/AlbumGrid, ReleaseGrid, Spotlight,
HomeSkeleton, DiscoverBrowseView, SearchResultsView, FavoritesView. Artist /
radio cards are untouched.
cc
NowPlayingBar / SongCard:
- Audio stamp homologated New<->Classic + vertically centred (alignment:center
on the stamp column; New had a binding-loop card height, now explicit).
- Dot-LED output indicators (circle-dot/circle) in both modes; render-target
badge moved into the LED row when a peer/cast device owns playback.
- Right-cluster buttons made square (32x32); context glyph -> disc-album,
flush-left; classic stamp right margin; quality tooltip = the quality text;
heart tooltip = Add to library; Qobuz Connect tooltip always shows On/Off.
Qobuz Connect:
- Clear the session topology on disconnect so a late event cannot resurrect
the golden render badge (badge-persists-after-disconnect fix).
Queue / Lyrics right panel:
- Queue and Lyrics can both be open at once, stacked vertically in one column
(independent queue-open/lyrics-open flags replace the exclusive right-panel
int); each closable from its bar button and its own X.
- Panel width 280; compact rows (zebra), now-playing card homologated with a
row, flexible footer search, Lyrics title sized like the Queue tabs.
Shell layout:
- Pin AppShell to the window and size the content area arithmetically
(window - header - player-bar - padding). A Slint VerticalLayout ignores an
explicit height and does not auto-fill its parent Rectangle, so the content
row collapsed once the right panels became conditionally mounted; a Rectangle
takes the explicit height and it cascades up. Bar height references the single
Layout.player-bar-height source (note left for the future Small/Large bars).
cc
When QBZ becomes the active renderer (takeback), force a stream of the
current track and resume at the peer's position instead of failing or
restarting from 0:
- add QconnectRendererEngine::has_loaded_audio so the orchestration can
tell a stale track_id left by stop() from audio that is actually
buffered. stop() clears the buffer but leaves current_track_id, so the
track-id guard alone skipped the reload and the next resume hit
no audio data available.
- force_remote_track_stream on SetActive(true): reload even when the
track id matches (unless already streaming it), at the handed-off
position.
- thread the SetState position into ensure_remote_track_loaded so the
first takeback of a session (whose load lands in the SetState path)
also resumes at the peer's position rather than streaming from 0 and
issuing a forward seek the audio thread ignores past the watermark.
cc
deferred_renderer_join joined every connect with is_active=true, so QBZ
grabbed playback from whatever peer was rendering the instant it came
online, and the self-state echo from the post-join AskForRendererState
then reset the cursor to the queue head. Join as an available renderer
(is_active=false) on a fresh connect; only a post-drop RECONNECTION
rejoins as active, so a network blip mid-render does not lose the render.
Taking over is now explicit (device-picker Play here, or the phone
selecting QBZ, both arriving as SET_ACTIVE) - matching the official
clients.
cc
slint-dev.sh / slint-dev-fast.sh assume a Linux toolchain (mold linker,
x86 AES-NI features). On macOS clang rejects -fuse-ld=mold and the build
fails at the first link. This adds slint-dev-mac.sh: same nightly parallel
frontend and release-by-default intent, with --fast for a quick debug
build, the AES-NI/SSSE3 features scoped to x86_64 only, and the default
Apple linker (ld-prime). Verified on Apple Silicon: builds, runs, plays audio.
From the controller-mode debug session. All peer-facing paths gate on
is_peer_renderer_active, so renderer / local / disconnected playback is
unaffected.
- Now-playing bar + queue follow the peer authoritatively: reflect the peer's
current track / position / volume, refresh on the peer's track changes, and
fetch a fresh renderer state on becoming a controller (so the bar isn't stale
until the next track change; this also fixed remote pause, which had been
sending a stale current_queue_item).
- Route play-next / add-to-queue (single track) to the peer via
QueueInsertTracks / QueueAddTracks (insert-after the peer's current item);
multi-track album/playlist enqueue stays local for now. Clear the superseded
SetVolume pending to stop the volume-drag command spam.
- Clean disconnect: disarm the liveness watchdog + clear the device list / cast
state, so no spurious "renderer unreachable" toast and no lingering badge.
- Volume lock only for local ALSA-Direct bit-perfect (backend Alsa + plugin Hw),
lifted while controlling; reflect the peer's volume with a 50% safety clamp
when unknown.
- Connect button golden whenever a session is on; +2px now-playing bar height.
cc
Add `is_set_volume_action` to PendingQueueAction (set for CtrlSrvrSetVolume) and
complete it on the SrvrCtrlVolumeChanged echo, so rapid volume changes can
supersede the in-flight one instead of colliding on the single pending slot (the
"pending queue action already active" spam). The frontend adapter clears the
superseded pending before sending the next SetVolume (lands with the qbz-slint
controller changes).
cc
Mirror Qobuz Connect's device icons in the connect flyout: map each renderer's
device_type to an icon (6 -> smartphone, 5 -> monitor or globe when the name is a
web player/browser, else -> speaker), matching the Tauri QconnectBadge
resolveDeviceType. Adds lucide monitor/smartphone/speaker/globe svgs, an icon key
on the QconnectDevice model computed in the event sink, and a per-row icon in the
PlayerBar device list.
cc
Port the rest of Tauri's volume logic to the Slint bar.
PlayerBar gains a derived vol-locked reproducing Tauri's handleVolumeChange
formula exactly: (alsaDirectHw && !isRemote) || volumeLocked. The local
ALSA-Direct (bit-perfect) lock is lifted while controlling a peer (the
!is-remote term) so the user can adjust the remote renderer; the sink-pushed
NowPlayingState.volume-locked keeps meaning only the peer-disallow half. All
five volume-interaction gates and the slider opacity now read vol-locked.
Force the local player to unity gain (set_volume(1.0)) in bit-perfect, mirroring
Tauri's playerSetVolume(100): when the backend is ALSA + the hw plugin AND a
peer is not the active renderer, set core volume to 1.0 and push
NowPlayingState.volume = 1.0. Applied (a) at the startup audio-settings load and
(b) on backend / alsa-plugin change. Gated on a new is_peer_active() so the
force-100 is skipped while controlling a peer. core().set_volume is the safe
seam; the protected device-init is untouched.
cc
When controlling a peer renderer, the volume slider must reflect the PEER's
actual volume, never QBZ's local 100, so a drag starts from a safe level and
never nukes the AVR. Extend RemoteNowPlaying with the peer's reported volume
(sourced from the effective remote renderer snapshot) and, in the poll loop's
peer-reflection branch, push it to NowPlayingState.volume as
v/100 (clamped 0..1), falling back to 0.5 (50%) when the peer's volume is
unknown. This branch only runs when a peer is active, so local/renderer
playback is unaffected.
cc
Playing a new album/track on QBZ while controlling a peer renderer played
it LOCALLY instead of casting it to the peer. Add
SlintQconnectService::play_on_peer_if_active(track_id): gated on
is_peer_renderer_active, it pushes the current core queue to the peer
unconditionally (same all-or-nothing Qobuz-castable admission as
sync_local_queue_if_changed; a mixed/local/Plex queue is refused with a
toast and treated as handled so it is not double-played locally), then
calls play_remote_renderer_track_if_active to SetPlayerState the peer to
the requested track. Send errors are logged but still return handled — a
peer owns playback, so never fall back to local audio (double-play).
play_audible (the single local-play chokepoint for play-all / track play)
now tries play_on_peer_if_active first and returns early when handled. When
no peer is active it returns false and the existing local play runs
byte-unchanged, so renderer / local playback do not regress.
cc
When QBZ is CONTROLLING a peer renderer the local player is stopped, so
the poll loop saw track_id == 0 and the seek bar froze. Add
RemoteNowPlaying + SlintQconnectService::remote_now_playing(), sourced
from effective_remote_renderer_snapshot (peer position / updated_at /
playing). The poll loop now branches at the top of each tick: when a peer
is active it drives position/duration/progress/playing from the peer
(duration from the core queue's current track, position extrapolated and
clamped), resets the local edge trackers, and skips the local body. In
every non-controller situation remote_now_playing returns None and the
existing local path runs byte-unchanged, so renderer mode does not regress.
cc
Add the CONTROLLER-mode device picker. New QconnectDevice struct + devices /
active-renderer-id / set-active on the QconnectDevState global (re-exported via
app.slint so include_modules! generates the type). The connect flyout replaces
the "No devices found" placeholder with a plain-row list (ADR-008: no pills)
when session renderers exist: each row taps to set-active and closes the menu;
the local device renders as "Play here" to pull playback back to QBZ. A
"Playing on: {name}" header shows while a peer is active.
The event sink rebuilds the device list and pushes the cast-aware now-playing
state (is-remote / cast-target / volume-locked) from session topology after
every event, replacing the prior TODO. main.rs wires on_set_active to the new
SlintQconnectService::set_active_renderer (over send_set_active_renderer).
Wired but unverified (blind build, no phone+speaker); device round-trips need a
smoke test. Slice 4 (peer-state reflection in the poll loop) deferred.
cc
Wire the eight NowPlayingState transport callbacks (toggle_play, next,
previous, seek, set_volume, toggle_mute, toggle_shuffle, cycle_repeat) with the
"try remote -> fall back to local" pattern: each spawns a task that calls the
matching *_if_remote method; Ok(true) short-circuits (forwarded to the active
peer), Ok(false)/no-service falls through to the existing playback::* local
call unchanged. Includes the seek fraction->ms (via local duration), volume
0..1->0..100, and mute-negation conversions.
Adds playback::is_muted() to read the authoritative local mute flag for the
mute handoff. No regression to renderer/local playback: the remote gate is
is_peer_renderer_active, so every non-controller branch returns Ok(false).
cc
Port the controller-mode transport seam from the Tauri adapter onto
SlintQconnectService: effective_active/remote_renderer_snapshot, the prime_*
optimistic-state helpers, send_command (with the superseded-pending clear),
and all *_if_remote methods (toggle_play, skip next/previous, play_track,
toggle_shuffle, cycle_repeat, set_volume, mute, set_autoplay_mode,
autoplay_load_tracks, stop, set_position) plus set_active_renderer. Each gates
on a peer renderer being active and returns Ok(false) to fall back to local.
Adds the controller request DTOs (set-player-state/volume/mute + the pure
build_set_position_player_state_request) to qconnect_transport, mirroring the
Tauri types byte-for-byte. Diagnostics route through log + dev_push_event;
cursor alignment uses the core's silent sync_current_to_id. Not yet wired to
the transport callbacks (Slice 2) or the device picker (Slice 3); dead-code
warnings are expected until then.
cc
Move the pure build_effective_renderer_snapshot helper from the Tauri adapter
into qconnect-app/src/session.rs (next to build_session_renderer_snapshot),
export it from the crate root, and repoint the Tauri side to the re-export.
Byte-identical behavior; enables the Slint controller path to reuse it.
cc
Relocate the QConnect diagnostics launcher out of the now-playing bar flyout
into a new opt-in Settings > Developer section (the modal + DEV log/status code
is unchanged). Also make the status block selectable (read-only TextEdit) so
session_uuid etc. can be copied, and relabel the event log.
cc
Port the QConnect adapter to the Slint frontend so qbz acts as a full peer
(renderer + controller), inheriting the shared qconnect-app hardening.
- Device-info / join payloads + transport config (piece a).
- SlintQconnectEventSink: queue materialize / renderer-command apply /
session-management via the shared qconnect-app orchestration; renderer
ready-report on SetActive(true).
- SlintSessionLoopHost + service connect recipe (subscribe-before-spawn) +
controller bootstrap + deferred renderer-join; connect/disconnect toggle
wired in the now-playing bar flyout.
- Renderer sync: outbound RndrSrvrStateUpdated reports (position / current
queue item / file+device audio quality) while qbz is the active local
renderer, and inbound UI refresh (now-playing card + queue sidebar) after
remote queue / state changes.
- Controller-side queue push: when the local queue changes while connected,
push it to the session (QueueLoadTracks) with all-or-nothing admission
(refuse mixed local/Plex queues; offline qobuz_download is eligible) and
echo suppression against the last-applied / last-pushed queue.
- Error + lifecycle toasts; DEV diagnostics modal (live session status +
selectable rolling event log) opened from the connect flyout.
