🚀 What's New in Version 1.3.7 (Critical Playback & HLS Engine Hotfix)

A high-priority Hotfix release resolving critical video stream playback issues, HLS.js engine stability, and Content Security Policy compatibility across Windows, macOS, and Linux!

🔧 v1.3.7 Hotfix & Engine Fixes

  • Hls.js LoadStats Structure Fix (Black Screen Resolution): Resolved an unhandled internal exception (TypeError: Cannot set properties of undefined (setting 'start')) in Hls.js's manifest parser. The custom TauriPlaylistLoader now properly mutates and passes the official this.stats (LoadStats) instance with all loading, parsing, and bwEstimate attributes, allowing segment downloads to schedule and play seamlessly.
  • Enhanced Content Security Policy (CSP): Upgraded connect-src, media-src, and img-src directives to support https: transport, enabling seamless loading from Twitch's dynamic multi-level CDN subdomains (e.g., *.hls.ttvnw.net, *.cloudfront.hls.ttvnw.net, and *.akamaized.net).
  • Autoplay Resilience & Muted Fallback: Implemented automatic muted playback fallback if host OS or browser policies restrict unmuted autoplay, ensuring immediate stream startup without stalling.
  • Native MSE Decoder Optimization: Removed extraneous crossOrigin attributes on the video element that could cause Chromium/WebView2 decoder checks to fail on local MediaSource blobs.
  • Home Carousel & MultiStream Grid Fix: Synchronized the robust playlist proxy and HLS handling across VideoPlayer.jsx, StreamPreview.jsx, and GridCell.jsx.

🌧️ Real-Time Emote Rain & Dynamic Combo Meters

  • Live Emote Floating FX: Emotes from Twitch, 7TV, BTTV, and FFZ bubble up across your video player in real-time. Engineered with strict RAM cap protections (max 20 active particles) to ensure 0% FPS drop or latency while gaming.
  • Neon Combo Breakers: Automated high-frequency burst detection in chat triggers vibrant neon-charged alerts on screen: HYPERS COMBO, SUPER COMBO, and GODLIKE COMBO.
  • Amber Mention Highlights: Instantaneous millisecond detection of your username in chat, lighting up your personal mentions with an elegant golden glow.

🔔 Smart Chat Tabs & Multi-Stream Command Grid

  • Intelligent Chat Navigation Bar: Seamlessly filter and switch between All Messages, @Mentions (featuring a live unread badge counter), and ⭐ Featured Events with a single click.
  • Multi-Stream Grid: Monitor up to 4 simultaneous live broadcasts with independent audio mixer controls—the ultimate layout for esports tournaments and speedrun restreaming.

🛡️ Verified Stability & Automated Update System

  • 100% Passing Test Suite: Fully verified against our automated test harness (all frontend, release manifest, and security tests passing).
  • OTA Auto-Updater Ready: Configured with secure cryptographic signature verification via updater.json for background over-the-air updates.
