Tauri

Tauri

This is a half-working copy of Museeks ported to Tauri 2.0.

This is highly experimental, many things are broken. Lots of non-idiomatic Rust (and React actually).

yarn
cargo test --manifest-path src-tauri/Cargo.toml
yarn tauri dev

What's left?

Hi. Your questions regarding Lofty have caught my attention ;) This project looks interesting.

Over the years I have a built a sophisticated backend in Rust, but don't have an appropriate frontend yet. Background: I am a backend developer with almost zero UI skills and this was my starter project for learning Rust back in 2018.

For demonstration purposes and for conveniently synchronizing my library I recently added a demo app (native, egui, embedded SQLite) with a very basic query parser for searching. Should work on any platform without external dependencies. Does not touch your precious files! Writing back metadata to files is implemented, but not available in the API layer.

For personal use I maintain a read-only integration for Mixxx with a local, standalone web service that is also part of the (bloated) monorepo. Mixxx is my frontend for searching, selecting, and playing music. The (undisclosed) C++/Qt/JSON integration in Mixxx is cumbersome and brittle, not recommended.

Running this branch unfortunately didn't work. It also requires to disable macOS-specific code on Linux, otherwise even the build fails.

Once you have the basics working I am curious to see if it would be possible to attach my backend components. Disclaimer: I have no experience with Tauri.

Hi

Running this branch unfortunately didn't work. It also requires to disable macOS-specific code on Linux, otherwise even the build fails.

I am mainly developing this port on macOS, and sometimes testing things on Windows on my desktop. I still have to spinup an ubuntu virtual machine and try to see what's failing there.

Or I should try to fix the CI, which should build the app by itself on win+mac+linux.

I'll add point in the todo-list for those.

I only get this far on Linux:

@uklotzde Last year, MediaSession support was disabled by default in webkit2gtk: WebKit/WebKit@9a224f3

This is the issue: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=247527

So, you'll have to build webkit2gtk with the experimental ENABLE_MEDIA_SESSION feature. This is only an issue on Linux.

Yikes. Even if this might be a cumbersome but feasible option during development. It is not an option for any regular user who wants to use the app.

[martpie]

Let me push a commit to enable graceful degradation for these features.

If MPRIS cannot work in Linux, then too bad, but it should not have to hard crash the app.

Latest version of this branch should not crash if mediaSession is not available

Let's merge to a dedicated tauri branch :)
