foxyzandClaude Opus 5.5 6b10cae4e6 Protocol 12: Up next (a shared queue) and where the video comes from
Up next: a server-side queue anyone edits by item id (add at end or
next, move, remove, play now, skip); each item says who added it and
how it plays. At the real end the first item swaps in after the end
card's countdown, put up by whoever can (its adder for through-me links
and files, someone with access for Jellyfin, else anyone); items that
can't play are skipped with the reason. The next item's link is
resolved ahead. Greyed "Continues with" episodes below. A chip with the
controls opens it as a popover (leaf_widgets, local path dependency for
now); "Add to queue" next to Put it up everywhere.

Delivery: the server measures the source's rate, the media's bitrate
and each member's read rate; the members card shows a source line
(who passes it on, through what, keeping up or not, source left) and
each member's route and buffer. A slow source is told once per media.
A failed server fetch is announced to everyone.

foxyzandClaude Opus 5.5 fe5d6c3b3f Relay HLS/DASH-only pages as pieces tracks (protocol 11)
A track can be served as pieces: the server writes a VOD playlist whose
entries are its own piece URLs (segments, init maps, AES-128 keys; byte
ranges folded in; yt-dlp's DASH fragments become the same list). A piece
buffer per track fills like the byte buffer. Picks a single file, then a
split byte pair, then pieces. DRM, live, master playlists are refused.

foxyzandClaude Opus 5.5 b038706dff Protocol 11: split-track relay (YouTube video+audio), chunked upstream reads
Relayed media can carry 2-4 byte tracks (video, audio): yt-dlp picks a
split pair when no single-file format exists (h264 first), the source
channel serves each track, the server keeps a buffer per track (budget
split by size, 8 MiB floor) and viewers open an mpv edl:// of the track
URLs. Expired URLs re-resolve once for all tracks. Upstream GETs are cut
into <= http_chunk_size (10 MiB) ranges: YouTube throttles larger ones.
Live streams and DRM are refused; HLS/DASH pieces are a follow-up.

foxyzandClaude Opus 5.5 e7f33b5dc3 Relay: a member's media through the server's buffer (proto 8)
ci / core (push) Successful in 28s
ci / updater-windows (push) Successful in 49s
ci / server (push) Successful in 49s
Viewers who cannot reach the media get it through the server: a file on
any member's computer, a link passed on by a member ("Through me") or
fetched by the server ("Server fetches it", password-protected servers
only), and Jellyfin items for guests without an account, sourced by
whoever put them up with their own sign-in (or a pasted link's key),
which never leaves their machine. Fixes guests on a dedicated server
without a Jellyfin login being blocked.

The source dials /r/.../source (works behind NAT) and answers pulls with
an adaptive in-flight window (2 x rate x min RTT, 256 KiB..8 MiB). The
server keeps a memory-only buffer of 1 MiB slices sized like a viewer's
mpv buffer (pinned head/tail, 64 MiB back, 256 MiB ahead), fills it with
one sequential pull at a time (blocked viewers first, newest request
only), fetches nothing while nobody watches through it, and drops it on
the next swap or stop. Measured with mpv through shaped links
(tool/relay_e2e.dart): 400 Mbit/s seeks ~0.03 s; 40 Mbit/s no stalls,
3 viewers cost the source ~1x the bytes.
