cargo tree -p punktfunk-client-session finds no ffmpeg. The host still does, which is the whole point: pf-encode keeps libavcodec unconditionally and no host workflow, packaging script or licence file was touched. Deleted: crates/pf-ffvk, video_vulkan.rs, video_vaapi.rs, video_libav.rs, the libavcodec half of video_d3d11.rs, the av_log machinery, ffmpeg::codec::Id as the decoder's vocabulary (the quic CODEC_* wire constants now serve, which is why the evidence table was keyed on them), DecodedImage::VkFrame and ::Dmabuf, the presenter's AVVkFrame lane, and the ffmpeg-fallback feature with everything behind it. DrmFrameGuard collapses from an enum to a newtype, which removes an unsafe impl Send. Roughly 25,000 lines. Then the CI, packaging, licensing and docs work the plan's §6 lists: the Windows workflows lose FFMPEG_DIR, PF_FFVK_VULKAN_INCLUDE and their PATH prepend; the MSIX loses its DLL wildcard; the client .deb stops emitting libav sonames on its own because depends come from dpkg-shlibdeps; arch, flatpak and nix drop the dependency; and the README's "FFmpeg 7 or 8" contract narrows to the host. Three defects reached users' machines in the first cut, and none was in the deletion itself. All three desktop Settings UIs offer vulkan, vaapi and d3d11va as stored decoder values, so those strings sit in shipped settings files today. Refusing them by name — which is the correct rule for a stale pin — would have bricked every upgraded client whose owner ever touched that dropdown. They now migrate onto the native rung for the same hardware family, at decoder construction AND at each dialog's lookup, because a legacy value that matches no preset displays as "Automatic" and silently rewrites the user's preference on the next save. M9's evidence filter was deleted on the argument that with no libavcodec twin below, barring an unproven rung removes hardware decode rather than moving down one rung. That is true on Windows and false on Linux for Intel and every unknown vendor id, where prefer_vulkan_first is false and the order is native-vaapi → native-vk: a rung that has decoded nothing anywhere sitting above one that is 250/250 on three drivers. Every Intel Linux desktop would have moved from libavcodec VAAPI, shipping for years, onto pf-vaadec by default — and a rung that constructs and then produces wrong pixels leaves only by the error-streak demotion, which this codebase already documents as not tripping on the B580's strobing. The filter is restored as a narrow, pure, testable rule: an unproven rung yields to a proven one, and to nothing else. Windows deliberately passes no rung below, because that vendor family is the one with a measured wrong-pixel report against Vulkan decode, and trading no evidence for evidence of corruption is the wrong direction. And the notices still said FFmpeg was bundled. The root file is what both desktop clients include_str! and what the MSIX ships, three lines under the new card saying no FFmpeg is bundled; Apple's Acknowledgements said it too, on iOS, tvOS and macOS. The generator now emits four per-client files scoped by transitive closure — 0 FFmpeg mentions in each, verified — while the root file keeps it for the host. That also ends the standing false attribution of ffmpeg-next, GTK4, windows-rs and the NVENC SDK to an iPhone. Windows has no reachable box, so it was compiled instead: a cross clippy at -D warnings on x86_64 and aarch64-pc-windows-msvc with the C toolchain stubbed so build scripts run without linking. That gate immediately caught an include_str! path one directory too deep, which nothing else could have. Gates: container clippy -D warnings, 160 tests, workspace check, both Windows targets clean, client ffmpeg count 0 and host 2. The four decode crates are untouched, so the hardware rungs' 250/250 stands. ⚠ Owed and unrun: no GPU has executed any of this milestone. M8's on-glass software check, M7's D3D11 and VAAPI AV1 hardware legs, and M9's field bake all still want hardware, and the bake window and criteria remain the user's.
punktfunk — Android client (phone & TV)
The native Android app for streaming a punktfunk host to your phone, tablet, or Android TV. A Compose app that finds hosts on your network, pairs with a PIN, and streams at the display's own resolution — with hardware HEVC decode, HDR10, and controller support, built for both touch and the couch (D-pad / gamepad focus navigation).
Features
- Hardware decode — NDK
AMediaCodecHEVC →SurfaceView, including HDR10 (Main10 / BT.2020 PQ), with low-latency tuning and a live stats HUD. - Audio both ways — Opus + AAudio playback with a jitter ring, plus mic uplink to the host.
- Controller support — buttons + axes with rumble and HID feedback (lightbar / adaptive triggers); D-pad / gamepad focus navigation for TV and phone.
- Find hosts automatically — native mDNS discovery; first connect does a one-time SPAKE2 PIN pairing (or TOFU on trusted LANs), then reconnects on a Keystore-wrapped, pinned identity.
- Compose UI — Connect / Settings / Stream screens with Material You theming.
Built for arm64-v8a + armeabi-v7a + x86_64 — the 32-bit armeabi-v7a slice is what keeps the
app installable on the many 32-bit Google TV / Android TV streamers (Walmart onn. 4K, Chromecast with
Google TV, budget Amlogic boxes) that otherwise reject a 64-bit-only build as "not compatible".

How it's built — Rust-heavy
Kotlin can't import the cbindgen C header the way Swift can, so a native bridge is unavoidable. We
write it in Rust and link punktfunk-core directly — so the Android client reuses the Linux
client's orchestration (audio jitter ring, VK keymap inverse, latency/skew math, capture state
machine, trust logic) instead of re-porting it into Kotlin.

Build & run
Prerequisites: Android SDK + NDK r30 (30.0.14904198), platforms;android-37.0,
build-tools;37.0.0, cmake;3.22.1 (builds libopus); JDK 21 (AGP 9.2 runs on JDK 17–21, not
a newer default); Rust with rustup target add aarch64-linux-android armv7-linux-androideabi x86_64-linux-android and
cargo install cargo-ndk. Toolchain is pinned (AGP 9.2 · Gradle 9.4.1 · Kotlin 2.3.21 · Compose BOM
2026.05.01 · compileSdk 37 · minSdk 28).
Android Studio: open clients/android — it uses its bundled JBR 21, and the cargoNdk* task
builds the .so as part of the normal build.
CLI (point Gradle at JDK 21 if your machine default is newer):
export JAVA_HOME="$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 21)" # or your Temurin 21 path
cd clients/android
./gradlew :app:assembleDebug # cargo-ndk cross-compiles libpunktfunk_android.so first
./gradlew :app:installDebug # onto a running emulator/device
# emulators from env setup: emulator -avd pf_phone | emulator -avd pf_tv
The debug APK lands in app/build/outputs/apk/debug/. Launch it, pick a host, pair, and stream.
