enricobuehler 551012bb43 feat(clients): HDR Steps 2-3 — apply mastering metadata + display capability-gate
Continues docs/hdr-pipeline-plan.md. Steps 0/1 + Step 2 (Windows/Android) already
landed in 3526517; this is Step 2 (Apple) + Step 3 (all clients). Client-only — no
core/host/ABI change (the 0xCE/next_hdr_meta/color_info surfaces shipped in Step 0).

Step 2 — clients APPLY the host's HDR metadata (each remaps from the wire form: ST.2086
G,B,R order, mastering luminance in 0.0001 cd/m2):
- Apple: connect via punktfunk_connect_ex5 (resurrects the previously-dead HDR pipeline);
  nextHdrMeta/colorInfo wrappers + HdrMeta SEI-blob builders; the pump drains nextHdrMeta
  -> VideoDecoder.setHdrMeta -> CVBufferSetAttachment of MasteringDisplayColorVolume (24B
  BE) + ContentLightLevelInfo (4B BE) on each HDR pixel buffer (correct for the
  itur_2100_PQ layer; CAEDRMetadata avoided as ambiguous there).

Step 3 — capability-gate: advertise HDR caps ONLY when the display can present it, so an
SDR display gets a proper BT.709 stream instead of PQ it would mis-tone-map; an HDR
display self-tone-maps from the Step-1/2 mastering metadata.
- Windows: present::display_supports_hdr() (DXGI any IDXGIOutput6 colour space == G2084),
  ANDed with the user HDR setting in session.rs; logs the SDR drop.
- Apple: NSScreen.maximumExtendedDynamicRangeColorComponentValue>1 (macOS) /
  UIScreen.main.potentialEDRHeadroom>1 (iOS) in SessionModel.
- Android: Settings.displaySupportsHdr (Display.getHdrCapabilities HDR10/HDR10+) passed
  through a new hdr_enabled jboolean on nativeConnect; session.rs gates the caps.

Validation: Android native (incl. the jboolean gate) builds + clippy clean via cargo-ndk;
fmt clean. Windows (MSVC), Apple (Swift) and the Kotlin side are CI/on-glass validated —
not compilable on the Linux dev box. Deferred to the RTX box: mid-session Reconfigure
SDR-downgrade on monitor move, and confirming the host emits SDR for an SDR client off an
HDR desktop.

punktfunk Android client

Native Android client for punktfunk/1, targeting phone + TV (Compose, D-pad + touch).

Architecture — Rust-heavy (like the Linux client, not thin-native like Apple)

Kotlin cannot 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.

Side Owns
Rust (clients/android/nativelibpunktfunk_android.so) the JNI seam, NativeClient (QUIC control + UDP data plane), AnnexB→AMediaCodec decode, Opus+Oboe audio, VK keymap, latency math, trust/pairing
Kotlin (clients/android) Compose UI (host grid / settings / stream), SurfaceView lifecycle, input capture, NsdManager discovery, Keystore identity, permissions

The single seam is io.unom.punktfunk.kit.NativeBridgeJava_io_unom_punktfunk_kit_NativeBridge_*.

Prerequisites

  • Android SDK + NDK r30 (30.0.14904198), platforms;android-37.0, build-tools;37.0.0, cmake;3.22.1 (sdkmanager "cmake;3.22.1" — the cmake crate builds libopus with it)
  • JDK 21 for Gradle/AGP (AGP 9.2 runs on JDK 1721, not a newer default JDK like 25)
  • Rust + rustup target add aarch64-linux-android x86_64-linux-android + cargo install cargo-ndk

Toolchain pinned: AGP 9.2.0 · Gradle 9.4.1 · Kotlin 2.3.21 · Compose BOM 2026.05.01 · compileSdk 37 · targetSdk 36 · minSdk 31 · ABIs arm64-v8a + x86_64.

Build & run

Android Studio: open clients/android — it uses its bundled JBR 21 automatically. The cargoNdk* task builds the .so as part of the normal build.

CLI (point Gradle at a JDK 21 if your machine default is newer, e.g. JDK 25):

# Adoptium/Temurin 21 (installed by the Android Studio setup, or `brew install temurin@21`):
export JAVA_HOME="$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 21)"
cd clients/android
./gradlew :app:assembleDebug      # cargo-ndk cross-compiles libpunktfunk_android.so first
./gradlew :app:installDebug       # onto a running emulator/device

# Emulators (created during 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 from the list, pair, and stream.

Status

A working native client (phone + Android TV), at parity with the Linux and Apple apps for the core streaming experience:

  • VideoAMediaCodec hardware HEVC decode → SurfaceView, including HDR10 (Main10 / BT.2020 PQ), with low-latency decode tuning and a live stats HUD.
  • Audio — Opus + Oboe playback with a jitter ring, plus mic uplink to the host.
  • Input — game controllers (buttons + axes) with rumble and HID feedback; D-pad / game-controller focus navigation for the couch (TV + phone).
  • Discovery & trustNsdManager mDNS host list, SPAKE2 PIN pairing and TOFU, with a Keystore-wrapped client identity and a known-host store.
  • UI — Compose host list / settings / stream screens, Material You theming.
  • Shipping — built for arm64-v8a + x86_64; published to Google Play (Internal Testing).

crates/punktfunk-core uses the ring rcgen backend so the client .so is aws-lc-free.
