Archiplayer v0.5.1

Fixed

• WebView's disk cache grew without bound across runs; it is now purged on startup and
  capped, so long-running use no longer eats disk space.
• Episode and playlist ordering now follows the air date the backend sorts by, instead of
  drifting out of sync with what the archive actually returns.
• Connection trouble now reads as a short message ("No connection.") instead of the raw
  network error, and shows as a quiet toast rather than a banner stuck in the page flow.

Archiplayer v0.5.0

Added

• The profile page is rebuilt around what you have actually listened to. A band of listening
  totals sits on top, with a calendar of listening intensity (one cell per day, a row per
  year)
• Shows, episodes, songs and downloads are now four tabs of one list, each searchable,
  sortable and countable. A show you both favourited and listened to is one row carrying
  both facts rather than the same show in two places.
• Favourite songs are playable. The queue holds either a whole episode or a single song
  inside one, so a list of favourite songs plays end to end, jumping to each song's position
  in its own archive file.
• Any row can be shared or favourited in place, without opening it first.

Fixed

• Dave Emory episodes from 2019 onward, and every episode of Interpretations, now play and
  download. WFMU keeps those archives on other servers, and Archiplayer used to refuse any
  address outside WFMU's own archive, so those episodes failed with "could not resolve an
  audio URL for this episode".
• An episode whose archive player page is missing now falls back to the older listen link
  before giving up, and an episode that still cannot be resolved says why: which page was
  dead, or which server the audio moved to.
• Both back controls now step backwards on the first press while a queue of songs is
  playing, instead of restarting the current song. They only rewind at the head of the
  queue, where there is nothing behind to step to. Whole-episode playback keeps its restart
  behaviour, since a mis-press there costs an hour.
• The four transport buttons now grey out exactly when there is nowhere to go, rather than
  guessing from whether a playlist happens to be loaded.
• The now-playing line names a queued song from the first frame instead of waiting for its
  playlist to arrive.

Archiplayer v0.4.5

Added

• Long show and song titles that do not fit the player scroll past at a steady reading speed
  instead of being cut off.

Fixed

• Episodes that once played and later stopped loading now recover on their own. WFMU retires
  its 128k mp3s after a few weeks and falls back to a permanent archive file, so a remembered
  address goes dead; playback and downloads now look the address up again and resume where
  they left off.
• System-wide shortcuts no longer capture Ctrl+Alt/AltGr character input on international
  keyboard layouts. Legacy Ctrl+Alt defaults migrate to Ctrl+Shift+F6 through F11, and the
  shortcut picker says which chords cannot be taken system-wide and why.
• Precision seeking now follows how wide the seek bar actually is, so it stays available in
  window shapes where the old viewport breakpoint switched it off.
• Switching away from a live stream fades it out instead of cutting, and pressing play on the
  source already loaded stays an immediate pause/resume rather than a delayed reload.
• The episode list no longer drifts after a window resize: the corrective scroll settles in
  the same frame rather than animating.

Archiplayer v0.4.1

Fixed

• Archived WFMU shows now stop at their scheduled broadcast boundary instead of continuing into
  the next show, while allowing a 30-second grace period for closing jingles.
• Audition playback now fades in and out over 1.5 seconds at its boundaries for smoother starts
  and finishes.

Archiplayer v0.4.0

Added

• Keyboard shortcuts, in the app and system-wide, set under Profile, Keyboard shortcuts.
  Defaults are Space play/pause, J/K seek, ,/. previous/next, M mute, F favourite,
  S share, R random show; the system-wide tier repeats seek, mute, favourite, share and
  random on Ctrl+Alt+. A binding records the physical key, so it is the same key on every
  layout, and one switch turns the system-wide tier off. Transport is left to the OS media keys
  through mediaSession, which a global grab would otherwise starve.
• Loupe scrubbing. Press the seek bar to jump to that point; drag and a magnifier opens,
  gearing travel down to a quarter of a bar pixel so the seek resolution matches what the lens
  is showing.
• A floating back control. Once the inline "All shows" link scrolls out of view on a show or
  live page, a pill takes over, positioned so its text lands exactly where the link's text was.
• Scroll-to-top cue. The nav brand becomes a scroll-to-top control on the same scroll travel
  that hands the back link over to its pill, so the two read as one change of state.

Fixed

• Playlist parsing no longer leaks page chrome into the library. Script and style bodies are
  stripped before tags, so their JS and CSS cannot survive as words in a title or a track field;
  HTML entities decode & last so correctly escaped text is not double-decoded; and a
  plausibility gate drops rows that are document fragments rather than tracks. An episode whose
  every row fails the gate now ends up with no playlist instead of a garbage one. Regression
  fixture added for the playlist that surfaced this.
• The folded volume popover in mini mode no longer disappears the moment the pointer leaves it.
• Play controls now report the player's state rather than the action a click performs, and do so
  identically in the transport, episode rows, track rows and live. Their labels stay
  action-worded, which is what assistive technology should announce.

Changed

• Windows is the only distributed platform. The macOS leg is paused alongside Linux. Both
  still build from source, and CI keeps building macOS on every pull request.
• Release notes now come from this file. CI reads the section matching the tag, and the local
  release gate refuses a tag that has no section.
• The content security policy narrowed from *.amazonaws.com to s3.amazonaws.com.
• Release tooling forwards native command flags correctly.

Archiplayer v0.3.1

Archiplayer v0.3.1 for Windows and macOS.

Linux builds are coming soon while packaging and compatibility are revalidated.

These community builds are currently unsigned. Read the installation notes on the project site before opening them.

Archiplayer v0.3.0

Early build for Windows. macOS and Linux in progress (#1).

Highlights

• Honest User-Agent: the app now identifies itself to WFMU as Archiplayer/0.3.0 (+https://github.com/peqod/Archiplayer) instead of impersonating Chrome. One request/sec, cached, no crawling.
• In-app Support WFMU button in the top nav on every screen.
• Verify your download: SHA256SUMS.txt published below; compare before running.
• Website + README honesty pass; macOS 15 install flow.

Verify

sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS.txt

or on Windows: Get-FileHash Archiplayer_0.3.0_x64-setup.exe -Algorithm SHA256.

Unsigned build: Windows SmartScreen will warn (More info -> Run anyway).
