VPX 0.0.9

Added

• Add a square Cover mode with hover playback, volume, favourites and an expand action; add title-side favourites in the expanded float.
• Add a desktop-only floating mini player with artwork, video view, playback and volume controls, pin-on-top, and restoration of the full window.
• Add contextual tooltips for playback, library, settings, bookmarks, viewing profiles, keyboard and visualizer controls, with current actions for toggles.
• Adjust volume in 5% steps by hovering volume controls and using the mouse wheel or VR thumbstick; right-click to toggle mute, including the mini player.
• Add three 3D music worlds, Valley of Sources, Sound Cathedral and Deep Current, with a steady ground and horizon, sounds placed where they sit in the mix, and support in desktop mode.
• Analyse local music tracks in the background for beats, bars, sections, build-ups and drops so music scenes anticipate drops and land on the beat, with results cached for instant replay.
• Limit music scene flashes to at most three per second.

Fixed

• Route mini music player and visualizer-picker tooltip text directly to the custom renderer so Godot cannot create native tooltip windows for those controls.
• Match the music mini player's visualizer-list button to its open state, restore consistent starred-filter backgrounds and icons, close the picker on collapse, and keep track-title tooltips current.

VPX 0.0.8

Added

• Add a dice toggle beside the immersive visualizer favourite filter; previous and next shuffle the full list or filtered favourites without repeats, with dice icons and shared history across desktop and VR.
• Add Play count sorting with most-played videos and audio first, plus an Unplayed filter that combines with search, media filters and favourites and persists per Library tab.
• Restore desktop window size, position, monitor, maximized and fullscreen state after restart, fitting saved bounds to available screens.
• Restore open Library tabs, active tab, folders, filters, view modes and scroll positions after restart.
• Add browser-style Library tabs with independent folders, filters, view modes and scroll positions, plus new-tab, close-tab and tab-switching shortcuts.

Fixed

• Hide playback speed controls for live sources and keep streams at normal speed, including after playing a file at another speed.
• Show the release version throughout the app and remove obsolete build numbering from packaging.

VPX 0.0.7

Fixed

• Open SFTP media through the desktop share backend instead of passing links to FFmpeg builds without SFTP support.

VPX 0.0.6

Fixed

• Include Ogg streams advertised as FLAC or Opus in their codec filters and quality badges instead of relying only on the directory's container label.

Changed

• Batch visualizer spectral-history copies, reduce channel-history and stereo-analysis work, and skip remote playback-status polling without connected clients, with byte-equivalence, TCP and performance tests.
• Reduce settled panel updates, repeated screen shader writes, spectrum smoothing work, playback cleanup allocations and empty library-search processing, with performance and regression tests.

Added

• Add one-click Off, Subtle, Balanced and Vivid visualizer mixes directly to the desktop and VR mini player while music plays over images or panoramas.
• Restore immersive sound visualizer overlays over videos, images and panoramas, with saved visual opacity, backdrop dimming, atmosphere controls and Subtle, Balanced and Vivid mixes.

Changed

• Skip settled spectrum smoothing and unchanged texture uploads, reduce audio-capture and oscilloscope work, and speed up panorama face parsing, with reference-equivalence and performance checks.
• Reduce music-player refresh work and visualizer analysis cost by caching unchanged picker and favourite state, reusing audio timing, and avoiding redundant directional calculations.
• Batch oscilloscope shading and cache visualizer colour gradients while preserving waveform appearance, resizing and palette updates.
• Reduce library grid idle work, cache date and size sort keys, and group panorama visibility decisions per cube set, with repeatable performance and regression checks.
• Collapse the mini player by clicking its album-art area, with an audio-icon fallback when artwork is missing, replacing the dedicated collapse button.

Fixed

• Smooth 360° visualizer joins by closing waveform and spectral ribbon endpoints, matching loop colours and making sky patterns continuous across longitude seams.
• Fade the mini player as one composited panel so idle buttons, icons and labels retain consistent contrast.
• Remove the thick inset around collapsed album art and clip artwork to rounded corners in both music-player sizes.
• Make Next and Previous cycle through memorised online sources, preserving navigation order while opened-link history updates.
• Restore button clicks and the normal pointer after pasting through a text field's right-click menu, and after dismissing that menu.

Changed

• Reduce idle music-player opacity to 30% while retaining full opacity on hover and during interaction.
• Consolidate the compact music visualizer toggle under immersive visualizer Controls, freeing header space in desktop and VR music players.
• Collapse visualizer settings behind a compact Controls toggle, giving scene previews the full gallery height by default.
• Apply measured response profiles automatically for immersive music presets while retaining global intensity, sensitivity and motion controls.

Fixed

• Normalize live-radio timestamps and buffer network audio to prevent silence after broadcast timestamp jumps and avoid skipping audio after stalls.
• Stop inactive VR controllers from stealing desktop pointer hover and clicks on the link-entry Done button.

VPX 0.0.3

Added

• Star music visualizer presets and remember favorites and the compact global Starred only button beside Disable Visualisation, including filtered forward, backward and automatic scene changes.
• Announce published GitHub releases in Discord through a release-triggered workflow, including release changelogs and download links.

• Use direct Spectrum and Oscilloscope buttons for compact music display selection so both styles can be selected inside the VR panel.
• Keep the music visual selector open after choosing a scene so users can finish selecting before closing it.
• Remove the duplicate Music scene entry from VR shortcut help when the active shortcut already cycles music scenes.
• Size the expanded navigation sidebar to fit its labels at larger text sizes, preventing Search settings from clipping.

VPX 0.0.2

• Rename bookmarks and reuse previous names across media, with desktop and VR text entry.
• Scene thumbnails and a visual music scene picker in desktop and VR music controls and settings.

Changed

• Move studio visualisation guides into wrapped dropdown hover information boxes and remove permanent labels from the visual scenes.
