Kodama v1.0.0-alpha.26
Pre-release
Pre-release
Added
- Song sharing — Share any song via link from the track menu or the player's ⋮ menu: a universal link (opens the song in Kodama if installed, otherwise YouTube Music), a direct Kodama deep link (
kodama://), or plain YouTube Music / YouTube links. The universal link opens a small landing page showing the cover, title and artist. - Custom app icons — Personalize the app icon (taskbar, window, tray, macOS Dock) from a set of Default and Pride variants in Settings → Appearance.
- OS media controls — Play / pause / next / previous now work from the Windows media overlay (SMTC), macOS Now Playing and Linux MPRIS, including keyboard media keys.
- Per-transition crossfade — Set a custom crossfade length for a specific song-to-song transition (right-click a song in the queue), on top of the global default.
- Progressive playback — Songs start playing while still loading for a faster start; can be switched back to classic full-download in Settings for weaker devices.
Changed
- Crossfade rebuilt — Crossfade now runs in the audio core (two simultaneous sinks) instead of a separate hidden player, so it is captured by OBS and the visualizer and blends correctly.
- UI polish — Hover effects across buttons, lists and menus are now translucent overlays; the search bar and Speed Dial use a frosted-glass style.
Fixed
- Faster song loading — a single growing buffer instead of repeated reconnects, plus prewarming of upcoming queue tracks.
