Melodix v1.0.13 — Feel Every Note

Playback Robustness

🛡️ Improved

• Default stream client modernized: ANDROID_VR updated 1.37 → 1.61.48
  (current network stack) — stale client versions are a common cause of
  "Video unavailable" and 403 playback errors
• New fallback client: ANDROID_NO_SDK — sends no auth headers, reaching
  streams that other clients can't; joins the automatic fallback chain
• iOS clients refreshed: 19.29.1 → 21.03.1 (iOS 18.2 profile),
  iPadOS 19.22.3 → 21.03.3
• Web clients refreshed to the February 2026 platform builds
  (WEB, WEB_REMIX, WEB_CREATOR, TVHTML5 and variants)
• ANDROID_CREATOR updated 23.47.101 → 25.03.101
• Embedded TV client no longer requires login — the age-restriction
  bypass path is now available while signed out

📦 Internal

• Stream user-agent resolution is now version-aware for ANDROID clients
• Version bumped to 1.0.13 (versionCode 14)

Melodix v1.0.12 — Feel Every Note

Music Alarm

✨ New

• Music alarm — Settings → Player & Audio → Alarm:
  • Create multiple alarms, each with its own time, playlist, and
    "play a random song first" option
  • Precise timing via exact alarms (fires on time even in doze), with an
    automatic fallback when the permission isn't granted
  • Survives reboot, time/timezone changes, and app updates
  • Repeats daily; an empty or deleted playlist disables only the affected
    alarm instead of failing every morning
  • System guidance rows appear when needed (Allow exact alarms /
    Battery optimization shortcuts)

📦 Internal

• New playback/alarm package (scheduler, reboot-safe store, receivers)
• Manifest: SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM permission + alarm receivers
• Version bumped to 1.0.12 (versionCode 13)

Melodix v1.0.11 — Feel Every Note

Lyrics provider controls

✨ New

• Settings → Content → Lyrics: new toggles for Paxsenix (on by default)
  and LyricsPlus (off by default — switch it on to try its multi-source
  synced lyrics; backend availability varies).
• Complete provider control: all six switchable lyrics sources (SimpMusic,
  BetterLyrics, LrcLib, KuGou, Paxsenix, LyricsPlus) can now be
  enabled/disabled individually.

🐛 Fixed

• The provider reorder dialog now lists Paxsenix and LyricsPlus — they were
  missing from its default order since v1.0.9 (the runtime lyrics chain was
  unaffected; this aligns the UI with it).

📦 Internal

• Version bumped to 1.0.11 (versionCode 12).
• Researched but not shipped: Musixmatch — its public desktop API no longer
  issues working guest tokens (verified live), so any client porting it today
  ships a provider that can only fail. Skipped until upstream changes.

Melodix v1.0.10 — Feel Every Note

Graceful handling of unavailable songs

🐛 Fixed

• No more scary "Unexpected PlaybackException: Video unavailable / Code: 2000 /
  Source error" dialog. When YouTube reports a song as unplayable (removed, made
  private, or region-restricted), Melodix now recognizes that exact situation and
  shows a clean "Song unavailable" card with a human-readable explanation.

✨ New

• Auto-skip for dead tracks — a song YouTube refuses to serve is skipped
  automatically with a toast naming it, so your queue keeps playing instead of
  stopping. (Retrying was pointless: all 17 stream clients were already attempted
  before the error is shown.)
• Runaway protection stays in place: repeated consecutive failures pause playback
  rather than burning through the whole queue.

📦 Changed / Internal

• The error-skip counter now resets once a track plays successfully — occasional
  dead songs no longer accumulate across a listening session.
• The playback-error classifier recognizes YouTube's playability reasons
  ("Video unavailable", "not available in your country", "Private video",
  "has been removed", "no longer available"). Bot-detection and login-recovery
  flows are unchanged and still take priority.
• Version bumped to 1.0.10 (versionCode 11).

Note: the root cause is YouTube-side — the video itself cannot be streamed by any
client. This release is about handling that gracefully.

Melodix v1.0.9 — Feel Every Note

✨ New

• Paxsenix lyrics provider — new paxsenix module pulling Apple Music–sourced
  lyrics, including word-by-word synced TTML (v1/v2 vocal agents + background
  lines), rendered natively by the app's TTML engine. Enabled by default.
• LyricsPlus provider — multi-endpoint synced-lyrics (LRC) source with automatic
  failover between backends. Wired into the chain but off by default this release
  (upstream backends are rate-limited); a settings toggle is planned for a future release.
• Lyrics provider chain grows to 8 sources:
  SimpMusic → BetterLyrics → LrcLib → KuGou → YouTube Subtitles → YouTube → Paxsenix → LyricsPlus.
• Settings → Content: Paxsenix and LyricsPlus are now selectable as the
  preferred lyrics provider and appear in the reorderable provider list.

📦 Changed / Internal

• Lyrics database upgraded to v30 — lyrics rows now persist the source provider,
  translated text, translation language, and translation mode.
  Migration is automatic; no data loss, no action needed.
• Paxsenix TTML is validated and passed through raw to the app's native TTML
  renderer (same pipeline as BetterLyrics), preserving full word-level timing.
• New module integrated with no app-size impact (reuses engines already bundled;
  app-wide desugaring stays disabled).
• Version bumped to 1.0.9 (versionCode 10).

Melodix v1.0.8 — Feel Every Note

✨ New

• 🎚️ Parametric Equalizer — player long-press menu → Equalizer:
  APO profile import, AutoEQ & custom profiles, enable/disable, system-EQ shortcut
• 🎛️ EQ is injected into the audio pipeline, so it applies to all playback

🐞 Fixed

• Update dialogs never offer downgrades anymore — the "update available"
  popup (home + account popup + notification) now appears only when a
  strictly newer release exists (fixes false prompts after direct
  version jumps like 1.0.5 → 1.0.7)
• Development category removed from Settings → Updates
  (no update-channel switcher, no recent-commits list)
