Highlights

  • UI improvements like gradient fill, shimmer effects, and more place for suggestions
  • Enhanced media player stability and performance; now seeks are smoother and faster
  • Enhanced native logging and error handling
  • Fix Fabric 1.21.1 display rendering
  • Fixed some minor issues and edge cases

Client

Features

  • Added gradient fill and shimmer effects for thumbnails and loading states

Improvements

  • Pausing now keeps the decoder warm on every pipeline, so resume is instant instead of restarting the stream
  • Seeking no longer tears the whole session down before reconnecting: the picture holds its last frame while the target position warms up in the background, then jumps — including the loop wrap-around in synced / broadcast modes
  • The first decoded frame is now shown immediately on start and seek instead of waiting for the playback cushion to fill
  • Stream startup got faster: FFmpeg no longer probes the container with its default 5 MB / 5 s window
  • Stall recovery now reconnects in the background while the picture holds its last frame instead of blanking
  • Reduced render overhead on 26.x versions
  • Removed unreachable frame-resize handling from the video reader loop
  • Updated the in-process YouTube resolver NewPipeExtractor
  • Enhanced LAV decoder with cached packets
  • Enhanced natives logging and error handling
  • Enhanced thumbnail's quality

Fixes

  • Fixed Fabric 1.21.1 display rendering
  • Fixed two different videos sharing the same thumbnail when their IDs differed only by letter case
  • Fixed a failed thumbnail registration being able to crash the game
  • Fixed a rare race during quality switches that could destroy the live display textures and leave the screen rendering
    through dead handles
  • Fixed display teardown leaving already-freed textures reachable, which could lead to rendering through dead handles
  • Fixed player initialization callbacks getting lost when registered right as initialization finished
  • Fixed the reappearance audio bridge potentially starting mid-sample, which could produce noise
  • Fixed several retrying displays being able to block every other display's initialization
  • Fixed leaked yt-dlp subprocesses when the fast in-process resolver crashed mid-race

Server

Fixes

  • Fixed displays with long URLs on MySQL
  • Fixed display deletion logic and enhanced Multiverse-like projects compatibility
  • Fixed legacy sync packets being able to store an arbitrarily large video duration on the server
