🎧 ResonaDeck 1.5.1

Long-Track Crossfade Fix, Precision Countdown & Playback Reliability

Developer: Valentine
Platform: Steam Deck / Decky Loader
Release: 1.5.1 Stable

ResonaDeck 1.5.1 delivers important improvements to long-duration audio playback and crossfade timing.

This update addresses an issue affecting lengthy recordings, including tracks lasting three hours or longer, while introducing a more precise and readable crossfade countdown.

The goal is simple: make ResonaDeck more reliable without changing the experience users already enjoy.

🔧 Fixed: Long-Track Crossfade Playback

Previously, ResonaDeck could incorrectly interpret the duration of lengthy audio tracks.

For example, a three-hour recording containing 10,800 seconds could be incorrectly interpreted as lasting approximately 10.8 seconds.

The crossfade scheduler also contained a duration limit that could reject recordings longer than two hours.

These problems could contribute to premature track transitions.

Improvements

• Corrected seconds-versus-milliseconds duration handling.
• Removed the previous two-hour crossfade scheduling limit.
• Improved handling of multi-hour recordings.
• Preserved authoritative Plex track durations when the browser reports incomplete media information.
• Added protection against unexpected premature stream endings.
• Improved recovery behavior to prevent unnecessary track skipping.

Three-hour track playback has been verified on physical Steam Deck hardware.

⏱️ New: Precision Crossfade Countdown

Crossfade status now displays hours, minutes, and seconds automatically.

Instead of showing thousands of seconds or omitting the seconds from longer countdowns, ResonaDeck provides a readable timer.

Examples

• 3h 00m 00s
• 2h 59m 08s
• 1h 01m 01s
• 3m 08s
• 8s

The countdown continues updating every second, including during multi-hour recordings.

Updated Displays

• Quick Access crossfade countdown.
• Full Manager crossfade status.
• Playback duration diagnostics.
• Crossfade history and timing information.

The actual crossfade overlap settings remain unchanged, including the existing 3, 5, 8, and 10-second options.

🎵 Existing Features Preserved

ResonaDeck 1.5.1 retains the established features from previous releases:

• Plex and Jellyfin support.
• Music, audiobooks, and podcasts.
• Surprise Me and Keep Playing.
• Automatic music queue replenishment.
• Premium glass-style interface.
• Controller-friendly navigation.
• Native Steam keyboard support.
• Sleep and wake playback recovery.
• Game Theme Music visualizer integration.
• Existing playback and crossfade controls.

No unnecessary interface redesigns or unrelated features were introduced.

✅ Testing & Stability

The update includes automated regression checks covering long-duration calculations, crossfade countdown formatting, playback completion, and premature stream recovery.

The long-track playback correction has also been successfully tested on an actual Steam Deck.

As always, audio streaming performance can vary depending on network conditions, media formats, and server configurations.
