jellytoast v0.1.2

A correctness-and-hardening release from a full release-readiness review of the
app: the Linux .deb now launches on X11/XWayland, plus a Jellyfin
playback/launch crash, a fresh-install credential-permission leak, and a set of
cast, offline, and UI fixes.

Fixed

• The Linux .deb now launches on X11 / XWayland. The bundled Qt xcb
  platform plugin hard-links a large X / xcb / xkb / font / GL library closure
  that the package only partially declared, so on a minimal install an X11 (or
  XWayland) session aborted at startup ("could not load the Qt platform plugin
  xcb"). The package now Depends on the complete closure, proven by a clean-
  container boot across Ubuntu 24.04 / 26.04 and Debian stable. v0.1.0 and
  v0.1.1's .deb were affected too; Wayland sessions were never affected.
• Jellyfin tracks with an unknown duration no longer crash playback — or
  launch. Jellyfin reports RunTimeTicks / UserData as present but null
  for un-probed, .strm, and some live items; the now-playing builder treated
  only an absent field as missing, so such a track raised a TypeError when
  played or prefetched, and — if it was the saved resume track — aborted startup
  before the window appeared. Subsonic / Navidrome were unaffected.
• Downloads no longer follow you across a sign-out or server switch.
  In-flight and queued downloads planned against the previous server are now
  cancelled on sign-out / server change, so they can't land in the next
  account's offline library.
• Internet radio casts reliably to DLNA and Sonos. Live / ICY radio streams
  are now handed to the speaker directly instead of through the local cast relay
  (matching the Chromecast path), which could stall an endless stream.
• Legacy AirPlay no longer leaks a connection when a receiver drops
  mid-request.
• Less spurious offline flicker on a slow failover — the connectivity check
  re-confirms its timing window, not just the failure count, before switching to
  offline mode.
• Keyboard navigation in Search no longer makes the next mouse-wheel scroll
  jump back. Programmatic scrolls now reset the smooth-scroll state.

Security

• The credential file is owner-only from the very first launch. The config
  file — which holds the encrypted token plus your username and server address —
  was briefly created world-readable on a fresh Linux install and only tightened
  to 0600 on the next launch; it is now tightened the moment it is first
  written. (No effect on Windows, which stores credentials in the OS credential
  manager.)

Performance

• Large libraries build their A–Z index faster — a per-row sort-field lookup
  that is constant across a load is now computed once instead of per item.

jellytoast v0.1.1

This release is the working Linux .deb — the v0.1.0 package failed to
launch on modern Ubuntu — plus a cast-discovery fix and frosted/chrome support
for GNOME and other non-KDE desktops.

Fixed

• Linux .deb launches on modern Ubuntu (24.04 / 26.04). The bundle no
  longer ships libmpv's host-provided dependency closure, which on newer distros
  shadowed the system libraries and aborted startup with GLIBCXX_3.4.32 /
  MOUNT_2_40 errors (the app opened a "missing libmpv" dialog and quit with no
  audio). It now resolves those libraries from the distro's own libmpv. (#148)
• Linux .deb starts on X11 / XWayland sessions. Added libxcb-cursor0 to
  the package dependencies — Qt 6.5+ needs it to load the xcb platform plugin,
  and its absence aborted launch on X11 (Wayland was unaffected). (#149)
• Cast / AirPlay 2 discovery no longer deadlocks on Python 3.14. Cold imports
  of the optional discovery backends are serialized, sidestepping CPython 3.14's
  new import-deadlock detector. (#151)

Added

• Frosted glass + frameless chrome on GNOME and other non-KDE Wayland
  desktops. Where the compositor offers no app-controllable blur, the body now
  renders a faux frosted-glass texture instead of a flat panel (#152), and the
  window uses a frameless custom chrome (#153). KDE keeps its existing
  KWin-rule blur + decoration path unchanged.

jellytoast v0.1.0

⚠️ This is the old v0.1.0 release. Its Linux .deb was removed (it failed to launch on Ubuntu 24.04 / 26.04). Get the latest release (v0.1.1+) — it ships a fixed, validated .deb. (Or pipx install jellytoast.)

First tagged release — a native, frosted-glass music player for Jellyfin and
Subsonic / Navidrome. Windows (installer / portable zip), an sdist + wheel, and
pipx install jellytoast on Linux.

Highlights

• Two backends — Jellyfin and Subsonic / Navidrome, with full feature parity.
• Bit-perfect playback through libmpv, with gapless track changes.
• Cast anywhere — Chromecast, AirPlay 2, DLNA, Sonos, and a Snapcast control
  surface, plus a built-in proxy for receivers the app can't reach directly.
• Real offline mode — explicit downloads to an on-disk library, playable
  with no server.
• Floating mini player — compact and album-art views, with optional keep-above.
• Frosted-glass UI — live compositor blur on KDE Wayland and Windows
  (Acrylic), with a near-opaque fallback where blur isn't available.
• Desktop-native — MPRIS / SMTC media keys, tray, notifications,
  start-at-login, and sleep-inhibit during playback.
• And more — ListenBrainz scrobbling, smart shuffle, smart playlists, a
  sleep timer with fade, an FFT visualizer, and Jellyfin tag editing.

The unsigned Windows build trips SmartScreen on first run (More info → Run
anyway). PyPI is live (pipx install jellytoast); winget is submitted
(pending review); AUR is in progress (paused until registrations reopen);
Flathub is not planned.

v0.1.0 test build (cross-machine install testing)

Throwaway test build for cross-machine install verification (Arch laptop + Windows 11). Not a public release — safe to delete after testing (gh release delete v0.1.0-test --cleanup-tag).

Artifacts

• jellytoast-0.1.0-py3-none-any.whl — the pip/pipx-installable wheel (the same one the eventual AUR/Flatpak packages install)
• jellytoast-0.1.0.tar.gz — sdist
• SHA256SUMS — checksums (verify with sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS)

Install (both platforms)

pipx install jellytoast-0.1.0-py3-none-any.whl

• Arch: also sudo pacman -S mpv (provides libmpv.so).
• Windows 11: also drop a 64-bit libmpv-2.dll somewhere on PATH.
