v2.2.0

Music Disc Maker v2.2.0

• Fixed YouTube playback that could stop working entirely until you restarted the game. Occasionally YouTube would reject the connection Music Disc Maker was using to resolve a link; once that happened, every YouTube link — new and old — kept failing, and the only way back was restarting the game (which also restarts the mod). Failed connections are now swapped out and retried automatically instead of getting stuck, and playback now only uses YouTube backends that can actually stream audio: most of the previous defaults couldn't play anything at all, and one of them would resolve a link successfully and then fail partway into playback, which made the underlying problem easy to miss.
• Playback failures now tell you why. When a disc won't play, the reason stays in chat and in the log instead of flashing past on the action bar: YouTube asking this connection to sign in (bot check), age-restricted or region-locked videos, private or deleted videos, unsupported links, network/DNS trouble, or hitting the concurrent-playback limit. This covers playback from backpacks and from Create contraptions too, which previously failed silently or with no reason given.
• Directional audio toggle, on the Golden Jukebox. Off plays the track at a flat volume anywhere inside the audible range instead of changing with distance and direction, like background music, and still cuts out once you leave the range. On (the default) is the usual positional sound.
• Custom discs are much louder. They were quieter than vanilla records at every setting, and pushing the Golden Jukebox volume slider past 100% didn't help. Playback now has its own gain stage with a soft limiter, so custom discs sit at vanilla level or above out of the box — nothing to configure.
• Fixed discs restarting from the beginning. A disc left in a jukebox after its track had finished would start over from the top for anyone entering the chunk — after dying and teleporting back, relogging, or a chunk reload — and could leave the same track playing twice at once.
• Traveler's Backpack support. Custom discs now play from Traveler's Backpack's jukebox upgrade slot, the same as Sophisticated Backpacks.
• Updated the YouTube resolver to youtube-source 1.18.2.
• Fixed the backpack Stop button doing nothing while a track was still loading, which could leave music playing after you stopped it, or start two tracks at once if you pressed Play twice.
• Fixed playback bookkeeping not being released when a dimension unloads.
• Server and client now need matching mod versions. A 2.1.0 client can no longer connect to a 2.2.0 server (or the reverse) — the mismatch is now rejected outright instead of causing unpredictable behavior, so make sure both sides are updated together.
