Merge origin/main into worktree-native-decode-m0
main moved 93 commits while this branch ran. Two conflicts, both where main's new
work sat next to M10's excision:

packaging/flatpak/io.unom.Punktfunk.yml — main added the vendored gamescope WSI
layer (the only route to HDR on a Deck) and, before it, a vulkan-headers module.
Took both: this branch predates them and deletes neither. But the headers module's
stated consumer was pf-ffvk's bindgen over FFmpeg's hwcontext_vulkan.h, and M10
deleted pf-ffvk — so it now reads as dead weight to the next person. It is not:
the WSI layer IS a Vulkan layer, compiles against those headers, and builds after
it, so module order is the dependency. Rewrote the rationale to say so, including
why dropping it would be expensive to discover — flatpak.yml has no pull_request:
trigger, so a manifest break reaches main invisibly and a tag then ships no Linux
flatpak. Also recorded that the native decoder needs nothing from there: pf-vkdecode
reaches Vulkan through ash, which is pure Rust bindings, no bindgen, no C headers.

crates/pf-console-ui/src/screens/settings.rs — main restructured the gamepad
settings into TABS, which removed the per-row section headers; this branch had left
Some("Video") untouched from the merge base and added the pre-M10 decoder migration
next to it. Git could not tell those apart. Took main's structure (no header, its
deliberate change) with this branch's migration layered on: a stored `vulkan`,
`vaapi` or `d3d11va` names no preset in the tabbed list and would render as "—",
then silently rewrite the user's preference on the next save.

Gates on the merged tree, Linux container: fmt clean; cargo check --workspace
--all-targets clean; clippy --workspace --all-targets -D warnings clean; tests
green across pf-vkdecode (187), pf-client-core (163), pf-console-ui (58) and
punktfunk-host (447 of 448 — the one failure is the pre-existing
gamestream::stream::tests::sender_delivers_batches, a UDP-loopback EINTR under
qemu that fails identically on a pristine HEAD).

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 AMediaCodec HEVC → 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.

Side Owns
Rust (native/libpunktfunk_android.so) the JNI seam, NativeClient (QUIC control + UDP data plane), AnnexB → AMediaCodec decode (incl. HDR10), Opus + AAudio audio + mic, controller feedback, latency math, trust/pairing, mdns-sd discovery
Kotlin (app/, kit/) Compose UI, SurfaceView lifecycle, input capture, the Wi-Fi MulticastLock + permission UX, Keystore identity

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

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 1721, 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.
