A launcher tile (role: "launcher", design D4) shipped no art on purpose:
a launcher's own icon is square, every client cover-crops a 2:3 poster,
and the crop turns a mark into a strip. So the tiles were the launcher's
name on a flat accent face — legible, and the blandest thing in the grid.
Entries now carry an optional `icon`: the NAME of a brand mark, never
image bytes and never a URL. `[a-z][a-z0-9-]{0,31}`, shape-validated by
the host on every lane (a client interpolates the value into a resource
name or an asset lookup, so the guard belongs upstream of all of them,
and each client re-checks rather than trusting the peer).
A token rather than art because the alternative is closed by
construction, and deliberately: the art proxy serves what the bytes ARE
(sniff_image_type) and SVG is not on that list — it is script-capable
XML and the console renders library art in a browser. Widening that
sniff would trade a rendering nicety for a stored-XSS surface. Naming
the mark keeps the refusal intact, keeps the glyph vector at whatever
size a tile happens to be, lets it take the tile's ink, and adds nothing
to a reconcile payload that is already body-limited. The cost is that a
third-party plugin cannot ship a mark no client bundles; its tile falls
back to the launcher's name, exactly as before, and the fix is a PR
adding the master.
assets/launcher-icons/ holds seven monochrome masters with per-mark
provenance and licensing (Simple Icons CC0: lutris, heroic, epic, gog;
Font Awesome CC BY: steam, xbox; Playnite's own logo, MIT). steam is
generated FROM assets/os-icons/steam.svg so the SteamOS host badge and
the Steam launcher tile can never drift.
scripts/gen-launcher-icons.sh bakes the three derivatives that cannot
consume a master (GTK symbolic SVG, Windows PNG, Apple template PDF)
and — unlike gen-os-icons.sh, which prints path data for a human to
paste — GENERATES the three inline registries (web console, Android
ImageVector, pf-console-ui Skia). Three clients x seven paths of up to
3 kB is a transcription error waiting to happen, and a mangled character
is a silently wrong logo rather than a build failure. The generated Rust
goes through rustfmt, since `cargo fmt --all --check` is a CI gate and a
generated file that fails it would fail every regeneration.
All six renderers draw the mark CONTAINED, never cover-cropped: the
masters' viewports are not square (steam 496x512, playnite 1024x1024)
and filling a 2:3 frame would reproduce the strip this exists to avoid.
Every one keeps its old fallback for a token it has no art for.
Epic, GOG and Xbox marks ship dormant. Those plugins' launcher switches
are off by default and emit nothing, because the host has no verified
launcher_ui activation for them yet — shipping the art now keeps turning
one on the one-line plugin change those plugins promise, instead of also
needing a release of all six clients.
api/openapi.json and the SDK are regenerated (the spec's version field
was stale at 0.25.0 and now reads 0.26.0, which is the crate's actual
version — an unrelated line that regeneration necessarily corrects).
Verified: host cargo check, clippy -D warnings across pf-client-core /
pf-console-ui / punktfunk-client-session / punktfunk-client-linux, plain
build, pf-console-ui tests (77, including a new one asserting all seven
masters parse under Skia and one asserting the letterbox stays inside
its box), pf-client-core tests (188), cargo fmt --all --check, Apple
swift build, Android compileDebugKotlin, web tsc + vite build,
plugin-kit tsc, biome. The Windows client is NOT compile-verified — it
cannot be built from a Mac (scripts/xcheck.sh covers only the capture
stack by design) and CI does not build it either; its tile change needs
a real box before it ships.
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.
