Airliner 1.7.1

Airliner 1.7.1

• New Fireplace visualizer: a real, locally bundled log-fire video that loops inside the main window while your radio plays. Muted footage keeps the station audio uninterrupted.
• Playlist station rows now show available genre tags, with gradual stream-URL lookups for missing tags and a persistent local cache.
• Song-information waiting messages now time out after 15 seconds. Artist and title still appear if received later.
• Improved album-art searches for featured-artist credits, including feat., ft., featuring and incomplete brackets, while retaining checks against unrelated recordings.

• Browse free radio playlist collections from Junguler, 72FM and the International Public Radio Directory.
• Search stations across playlist sources and unopened collections from the main search box. Discover combines these matches with the existing radio directory.
• Cached playlist indexes make later searches fast and keep available results accessible when a source is temporarily unavailable.
• Improved artist/title previews on station rows, including playlist streams. Song information learned during playback is shared with matching rows.
• The playing station’s row shows its live song even when optional previews are disabled. Visible-row checks remain throttled; some streams provide song information only during playback.
• Visualizers continue animating while Airliner is in the background and retain their last frame when the window is hidden.

Airliner 1.6.3

Airliner 1.6.3

• Three new visualizers inside the main window: Orbit, Prism and Cipher Rain.
• Orbit brings glowing tilted rings, satellite trails and a luminous center that responds to the music.
• Prism adds layered kaleidoscope petals, shifting colors and a crown of particles.
• Cipher Rain fills the visualizer with original falling geometric glyphs, emerald trails and glowing tips.
• Quiet passages remain visible with richer glow and responsive detail.
• Choose among all five styles using the visualizer picker. Visualizer controls now use neutral white icons.

• Add a native AirPlay output picker to the bottom toolbar, using the existing radio player.
• Show a brief clipboard confirmation and checkmark after successfully copying the current station, or an error if copying fails.

• Show the sleep timer remaining time beside the toolbar moon button and in the mini-player, with countdown information in the menu-bar sleep menu.
• Track local play counts and last-played dates from this update onward. Smart Folders gain minimum play count, not-played-recently rules and Most Played sorting; station rows show counts with last-played tooltips.

• Add the current station to a folder from the bottom bar, or create a new folder with it already saved.
• Load every genre page so the menu continues beyond Acapulco.
