What's new in v1.5.7

This release is all about making YouTube playback dependable and keeping you informed even from the screensaver. Stalled, rejected and rate-limited streams now recover (or skip) fast instead of freezing in silence, and on Windows the app no longer needs the Visual C++ Redistributable to run.

Highlights

  • Resilient YouTube playback: rejected stream URLs (HTTP 403) re-resolve and retry automatically, stalled downloads are detected in seconds instead of up to a minute, and a burst of failures stops auto-advance with a clear message instead of racing through the list.
  • Notices in Ambient Mode: YouTube error and recovery messages now also pop up as a brief floating notice in the screensaver, so you find out what happened without switching back to the main view.
  • Seekable YouTube progress bar: click anywhere on the bar (or use the arrow keys) to jump, in both the main view and Ambient Mode. On-demand sources only; live radio stays non-seekable.
  • Streamlined first run: onboarding is now two focused steps with a live theme picker, dropping the old welcome and summary screens.
  • No more VC++ Redistributable on Windows: the C runtime is linked statically, so the binary runs on a clean Windows install out of the box.
