FastPlay 0.3.0 adds the first daily-use product basics: recent files and resume playback position. It also fixes important seek/scrub reliability issues and completes a major internal cleanup of the playback coordinator.

Highlights

  • Added Recent Files overlay with Ctrl+Shift+O
  • Added resume playback position across CLI, dialog, drag/drop, and recent-file opens
  • Fixed A/V desync after backward seeks
  • Fixed resumed-file scrubbing mapping that could make playback stop near EOF
  • Added a local benchmark harness for open, seek, pause/resume, drops, underruns, and hardware fallback metrics
  • Refactored the large playback coordinator into focused tested helpers

New Features

Recent Files

  • Press Ctrl+Shift+O to open the Recent Files overlay
  • Use Up / Down to select a file
  • Press Enter to reopen
  • Press Delete to remove an entry
  • Recent files are capped at 20 and deduplicated

Resume Playback Position

FastPlay now remembers the last playback position for opened files and resumes when appropriate.

Resume applies to:

  • CLI path open
  • File dialog open
  • Drag/drop open
  • Recent Files overlay open

FastPlay avoids resuming near the end of a video.

Fixes and Improvements

Seeking and Scrubbing

  • Fixed backward-seek A/V desync caused by stale pre-seek audio batch timestamps
  • Fixed resumed-file seek/scrub mapping where resume-origin offset could push seeks past EOF
  • Improved repeated seek/scrub reliability
  • Preserved A/V sync after backward seeks

Architecture and Maintainability

  • Enforced cargo fmt --check in CI
  • Added technical debt and roadmap documentation
  • Extracted focused modules for:
    • viewport state
    • clip-range state
    • overlay management
    • audio coordination
    • video frame queue
    • input dispatch
    • decode-thread handle lifecycle

Benchmarking

  • Added local benchmark harness under bench/
  • Captures p50/p95 latency for open, seek, pause/resume
  • Captures frame drops, audio underruns, and hardware fallback counts
  • Benchmark output supports JSON and CSV

Validation

  • cargo fmt --check
  • cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings
  • cargo test --all-targets
  • git diff --check
  • Manual playback smoke:
    • open
    • play/pause/resume
    • seek forward/backward
    • repeated scrub
    • recent-file reopen
    • resume playback
    • close while playing/paused
    • A/V sync after backward seek

Upgrade Notes

  • Existing installs should upgrade in place through the MSI major-upgrade path
  • Recent/resume data is stored under %APPDATA%\FastPlay
  • No account, network, or cloud storage is required
