UxPlayEnhanced v1.0.2
UxPlayEnhanced v1.0.2
This release improves ALAC startup playback, Windows resampling quality, and installer shortcut reliability.
Audio playback
- Starts ALAC playback from the first real audio payload instead of accumulating frames until the first NTP sync and burst-draining them into GStreamer.
- Explicitly requires
packetlen > 44, excluding ALAC format-only and malformed short packets. - Resets the stream-local clock mapping when a new audio format starts.
- Uses GStreamer
audioresample quality=10for maximum-quality 44.1 to 48 kHz conversion on Windows.
The resampler was benchmarked separately from the startup fix. Compared with GStreamer's default quality 4, quality 10 added approximately 2.18 ms of filter latency and increased the isolated resampling stage from about 0.11% to 0.22% of one CPU core on the build PC.
Installer
- Creates the shortcut in the Windows all-users Desktop so it remains visible when setup is approved with a different administrator account.
- Verifies that the shortcut exists and targets the installed
UxPlayEnhanced.exebefore reporting success. - Updates uninstall cleanup to remove the all-users Desktop shortcut.
- Clarifies that setup does not delete the extracted release folder; setup files are intentionally not copied into Program Files.
Lossless compatibility
- Documents that UxPlayEnhanced's 16-bit/44.1 kHz receiver profile is standard Lossless, not Hi-Res Lossless.
- Notes the currently reported iOS 27 Developer Beta 3 behavior where AutoMix works with Lossless but not Hi-Res Lossless, while clearly identifying it as undocumented beta behavior that may change.
The package remains audio-only by default, Bonjour-free, portable, and includes xvidcore.dll plus all required runtime dependencies.
