🚀 What's New in Version 1.4.0 (Global Languages & Ultra-Low Latency Live Experience)

Welcome to BlinkStream v1.4.0! This major update brings full internationalization across 8 languages, real-time Twitch badges and custom colors in your own chat messages, an ultra-low latency playback pipeline paired to live chat, and a revamped performance statistics overlay.


🌍 Full Multi-Language Support (8 Languages)

  • 100% Comprehensive Localization: Complete, high-quality translations across the entire application for:
    • 🇪🇸 Spanish (es)
    • 🇬🇧 English (en)
    • 🇫🇷 French (fr)
    • 🇩🇪 German (de)

💬 Real-Time Twitch Badges & Chat Customization

  • IRC USERSTATE Integration: When sending messages in chat, your real badges (Subscriber, Moderator, VIP, Broadcaster, Prime, Turbo, Founder, etc.) and your custom Twitch username color are rendered immediately in optimistic UI.

⚡ Ultra-Low Latency Live Pipeline (LL-HLS)

  • Rust Backend Streamlink Flags: Streamlink now requests --twitch-low-latency and --hls-live-edge 1 directly from Twitch edges.
  • Aggressive HLS Live Edge Sync:
    • Starts instantly at the absolute live edge (startPosition: -1 on first buffer).
    • Smooth 1.2x auto-catchup when network hiccups occur to keep you synchronized with real-time chat.
    • Interactive ● LIVE badge in the player controls to resync to the live edge with 1 click.

📊 Real-Time Stream Performance Overlay

  • Press Ctrl+D or use Settings to open the updated stats card with dedicated metrics:
    • ⏱️ Live Latency: Exact delay to the broadcaster in seconds.
    • 🎞️ RAM Buffer Ahead: Pre-buffered video in memory to prevent stuttering.
    • ⚡ Bitrate, 📐 Resolution/FPS, and 📉 Dropped Frame counter.
