Jetplay

IntelliJ Platform plugin providing native audio/video playback in JetBrains IDEs using JCEF (embedded Chromium).

Tech Stack

shared/, frontend/, client/, backend/ — Plugin Model V2 content modules, each under <module>/src/main/kotlin/dev/twango/jetplay/. shared (loads everywhere): shared types, RPC contract, i18n bundle. frontend (loads on the Remote Dev host and client): file type + editor provider + JCEF player + loopback media server; JCEF is guarded off on the host. client (JetBrains Client only, binds the platform's intellij.platform.frontend.split module): rdclient.fileEditorModelHandler that renders the player client-side in split mode. backend (host): ffmpeg + RPC byte/transcode access.
src/main/resources/META-INF/plugin.xml — root plugin descriptor (content-module wiring only)
frontend/src/main/resources/dev.twango.jetplay.frontend.xml — frontend module descriptor; single source of truth for supported extensions. The frontend module loads on both host and client, so its fileType/fileEditorProvider register on the host (for detection/selection) while the JCEF player renders on the client.
gradle.properties — plugin metadata and version config

Follow IntelliJ Platform plugin conventions and API patterns
Use FileEditorProvider / FileEditor for registering custom editors
Keep the plugin lightweight — no unnecessary services or actions
Supported extensions are defined in the frontend module descriptor (dev.twango.jetplay.frontend.xml), not hardcoded in Kotlin

./gradlew build        # compile + test + verify
