What's New in v3.0.0

Native Audio Streaming

  • Direct PCM audio via AudioTrack (Sendspin protocol) — replaces ExoPlayer pipe architecture
  • Zero-copy writes from WebSocket to hardware — minimal latency
  • Instant play/pause response (AudioTrack flush on pause)
  • Reliable background playback with WakeLock

Redesigned UI

  • Fully native Jetpack Compose with Material 3 theming
  • Custom typography (Poppins headings, Inter body)
  • Shared composables for consistent look across all screens
  • Smooth slide animations between screens

Multi-Player Support

  • View and control any player on your MA server
  • Player selector with real-time state updates
  • Metadata clears properly when switching to idle players

Notification & Lock Screen

  • MusicService independently manages metadata (works when app is closed)
  • Play/pause/next/prev controls on notification and lock screen
  • Album artwork, track title, artist, and seek bar
  • External playback triggers (e.g., from Home Assistant) show metadata correctly

Library & Queue

  • Browse artists, albums, tracks, playlists, and radio stations
  • Paginated library browsing
  • Queue management (view, reorder, delete items)
  • Search across your entire music library

Other Improvements

  • Event-driven WebSocket updates (no polling)
  • Exponential backoff reconnection for both API and Sendspin connections
  • ForwardingPlayer intercepts MediaSession commands and routes to MA API
