✨ What's New

🎥 Rebuilt OBS Now Playing Overlay

Aetheris v1.4.5 introduces a major rebuild of the OBS Now Playing
overlay system.

The overlay now runs through its own dedicated lightweight runtime
instead of relying on the main Aetheris interface to render the
Now Playing display.

This separates the OBS overlay from the main application UI and
provides a cleaner foundation for future overlay features.

⚡ Improved Overlay Synchronization

The new overlay uses realtime playback events alongside an
authoritative state synchronization system.

This improves:

  • Track-change responsiveness
  • Skip detection
  • Seek/rewind synchronization
  • Pause and resume behavior
  • Recovery after temporary connection interruptions
  • Browser Source refresh behavior
  • Overall Now Playing reliability

The overlay can also retrieve the current playback state immediately
when it loads instead of waiting for the next playback event.

🔄 Improved Reconnect & Recovery

The standalone overlay now includes improved event-stream reconnect
handling and heartbeat support.

If the realtime connection is interrupted, Aetheris can automatically
recover and synchronize the overlay with the current playback state.

This helps prevent the overlay from becoming delayed, stuck on an old
track, or remaining on "Nothing Playing" while music is active.

💿 Fixed Overlay Animation Restarts

Fixed an issue introduced during the standalone overlay rebuild where
frequent playback-state updates could repeatedly restart visual
animations.

The vinyl animation can now spin continuously, and scrolling track
titles can complete their animation normally.

Playback progress and timing updates no longer unnecessarily rebuild
the entire overlay.

🩹 Expanded Hot-Patch Support

The Aetheris hot-patch system now supports the new standalone OBS
overlay resources.

Future fixes limited to the standalone overlay HTML or JavaScript can
be delivered through Aetheris hot patches without requiring an entire
new installer.

Hot-patch safety rules remain in place so changes involving protected
core application files still require a full Aetheris release.

🛠 Reliability

  • Improved OBS playback-state consistency
  • Improved recovery from stale overlay state
  • Reduced unnecessary overlay rendering
  • Preserved fast playback-state synchronization without repeatedly
    resetting visual elements
  • Improved separation between the main Aetheris UI and OBS overlay
    runtime

📦 Updating

Existing users can install Aetheris v1.4.5 directly over their
current Aetheris installation.

Your existing Aetheris configuration and settings should remain intact.

For this release, install the full v1.4.5 installer. Future compatible
overlay-only fixes can be delivered through the Aetheris hot-patch
system.

🛡 Windows SmartScreen

Aetheris is currently distributed without a commercial code-signing
certificate.

Because of this, Windows SmartScreen may display an
"Unknown publisher" warning when launching the installer.

You can verify your download using the SHA-256 hashes and VirusTotal
reports provided above.
