• Full playback sync (play, pause, seek, speed) over WebSocket
• Clip upload & streaming with chunked HTTP transfer and progress
• Shared random pool — server picks clips from any user's library
• Ready-sync protocol — everyone downloads before playback starts
• Host-only autoplay — no ping-pong desync between users
• Auto-reconnect with exponential backoff (5 attempts)
• Sync-on-join for late joiners
• Live ping/latency display, activity feed, connection status dot
• Host kick functionality
• Debug mode (--debug) with verbose logging
• Self-hosted server with Docker support (FastAPI + WebSocket)

• Code cleanup: removed unused imports, print() → logging"

v3.0: Settings & Customization

v3.0 - Settings & Customization
This update is all about making the player truly yours.

What's new:

You can now customize your keyboard shortcuts. Hit Ctrl+, to open the new Preferences dialog, click on any key binding, and press your preferred key. If there's a conflict, the keys automatically swap - no duplicates, no headaches.

The speed control got a proper upgrade. Instead of just toggling slow-mo, you can now scroll on the speed button to cycle through 0.25x, 0.5x, 0.75x, 1.0x, 1.25x, 1.5x, and 2.0x. Much more useful for analyzing those clutch moments.

Frame-by-frame stepping finally works properly. Press . to go forward and , to go back. The player now reads the actual video FPS (30, 60, 120, whatever) and steps accordingly.

Added a "Show Only Favorites" toggle in the File menu for when you just want to rewatch the good stuff.

If the button bar annoys you, there's now an auto-hide option in Preferences. Controls slide away when you're watching and come back when you move your mouse.

Oh, and you can Alt+drag buttons on the control bar to rearrange them however you like. Your layout saves automatically.

Under the hood:

Fixed some memory leaks and made sure everything cleans up properly when you close the app. FPS detection is now cached so frame stepping doesn't stutter.

v2.2 - Shuffle Queue & Autoplay

Full Changelog: v2.1...v2.2

Random Clip Player v2.1

New Features
Configuration Management: Implemented a persistent settings system. The application now creates a config.json file to store user preferences automatically.

Menu Bar: Added a standard "File" menu with options to "Open Folder..." (Ctrl+O) and "Exit" (Ctrl+Q).
Improvements
Startup Validation: Added logic to check for a valid clips folder on startup. If no folder is configured or found, the application now automatically prompts the user to select one.
Documentation: Added a comprehensive README with installation steps, dependency requirements, and a full table of keyboard shortcuts.
Codebase Polish: Updated internal versioning variables and window titles to reflect the current release. Removed hardcoded path references for full portability.
