These guides and homepage screenshots were checked against the WinUI preview on September 22, 2026. The preview is still in development.
| Version | What it is | Which guide to follow |
|---|---|---|
| WinUI preview | Native Windows interface, Rust playback host, shared Web views for immersive playback and Lyric Capsule | The main focus of these guides |
| Tauri desktop app | Earlier Vue/Tauri desktop version | Features may be similar, but controls and settings differ |
| Web player | The player at /app | Uses browser file and site storage |
| OFPlayer Hub | Planned independent or desktop-connected music service | Check each Hub feature’s current status |
The WinUI images on the homepage are previews, not an announcement that an installer is available. Check the download page for the actual package, requirements, and release notes. Do not treat a Tauri installer as a WinUI update.
Implemented preview paths
The WinUI code includes local import, folder scanning, libraries and playlists, search and format filters, album and artist browsing, playback queues and modes, output-device selection, system media controls, lyrics and immersive playback, a floating Lyric Capsule, WebDAV/Subsonic/FTP source setup, LAN phone pairing and handoff, onboarding, listening statistics, storage analysis, and diagnostics.
These paths are implemented, but every device, codec, and server combination has not been validated in a clean release environment.
Still being completed
| Area | Current limit |
|---|---|
| Updates | An update check exists; download, verification, installation, and restart are not yet a complete flow |
| Languages | Some WinUI text remains in Chinese |
| Themes | The native appearance is separate from the old web themes; some effects remain in progress |
| Large remote libraries | Track loading has a cap rather than unlimited cursor pagination |
| Lyrics | Native and shared Web views do not yet have identical effects |
| Installer | Clean-machine installation, upgrades, dependencies, and data retention need separate validation |
WinUI, Tauri, and the web player use different data locations. If a library seems missing after switching versions, inspect the data path before resetting anything. Do not let two clients write to the same database. Developers can read Build and run locally.
