TideReader 0.3.0

Highlights

• Added browser media session playback support alongside existing TIDAL detection
• Added provider-based source selection, cooldown handling, browser debug visibility, and browser settings controls
• Expanded the shared overlay pipeline so browser playback flows through the same OBS, JSON, text, and artwork outputs as TIDAL
• Improved overlay and app fallback behavior for low-quality browser metadata and missing artwork

Overlay and app improvements

• Added a Browser settings tab with browser support toggles, source selection controls, metadata cleanup controls, session filtering, and browser debug visibility
• Added safer low-metadata browser fallback copy such as source-aware labels and metadata-limited states
• Hid empty browser artwork blocks for metadata-limited sessions instead of showing misleading placeholder art
• Added optional playback-provider display support in the overlay path

Included browser support

• Chrome
• Edge
• Firefox
• Best-effort metadata handling for YouTube, YouTube Music, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, and generic browser playback

Notes

• Bandcamp support remains best effort because metadata quality depends on what the browser exposes to Windows media sessions
• This release also raises automated test coverage to the repo quality gates and updates the README for the current release workflow
