🔧 v0.1.5: audio fixes and polish

No big new features this time. This one is all about making playback smoother and more reliable, for both Spotify and local music.

🎧 Audio stream fixes

• Reworked how the audio engine handles song changes and skips, aiming to resolve any choppy audio when you skip songs or switch between Spotify and local music. Song changes no longer make the game start a new song slot with a jingle; the music just carries on and the new title pops up.

🎵 Now Playing popup

The Now Playing popup has been optimized to pop up accurately when songs change.

▶️ Spotify starts playing automatically

Pick Forza Horizon 2 in Spotify and the music starts on its own, even if Spotify was paused. It resumes right where the song was. Want the old behavior? Set play_on_connect = false in config.ini.

🔊 Spotify volume now starts at 100%

It used to start at 70%. You can still change the starting volume with initial_volume in config.ini.

Install / update

Drop D3DCompiler_47.dll and the spotify-radio folder next to Azimuth.exe and replace the old files. If you changed your config.ini, your old settings keep working, but the new defaults (play_on_connect = true and initial_volume = 100) only appear in a fresh file. Delete or rename your config.ini and the mod writes a new one.
