Worked on the jellyfin/jellyfin-desktop repository to enhance cross-platform desktop media playback, focusing on stability and release readiness. Delivered features such as improved Wayland compatibility on Linux by conditionally disabling GPU acceleration, refined server connection handling with timeouts and in-memory HTTP caching, and expanded CI/CD workflows for broader platform support. Addressed security by enabling certificate bundle autodetection and fixing SSL verification on Linux. Used C++, QML, and CMake to implement these changes, emphasizing robust configuration management and build automation. Demonstrated risk-aware change management by reverting problematic GPU acceleration fixes to maintain stability for Wayland users while documenting rationale for future improvements.

Mar 1, 2025March 2025 monthly summary for jellyfin/jellyfin-desktop focused on stability, cross-platform polish, and release readiness. Key features delivered include Wayland compatibility improvements (Linux) by introducing a conditional flag to disable GPU acceleration when drivers are problematic, reducing black screens and improving Wayland stability for users. Also enhanced connection reliability and webview performance by adding a server connection timeout and an in-memory HTTP cache, plus a Windows timeout polyfill fix to ensure reliable loads. Major CI/build workflow enhancements expanded platform support, stabilized release pipelines, and improved artifact handling across Ubuntu tags, dmg creation retries, and legacy Windows builds. A major product release, Jellyfin Media Player 1.12.0, shipped with fixes for GPU acceleration behavior, subtitle readability improvements, and improved server connection handling, including changelog generation. Security and packaging improvements tightened certificate handling and verification by enabling autodetectCertBundle by default on Debian and addressing Linux SSL certificate verification issues. Also updated update checks to fetch latest version information (avoiding stale data) and maintained Windows stability through a controlled mpv version rollback when needed.
