foxyzandClaude Opus 5.5 5bc252bf02 Player: sharp video and subtitles at screen size; dev tools: danmaku preview, subtitle lift with a stand-in chat line
- "Sharp video and subtitles" (Settings → Player and the player settings
  card, on by default): the video output renders at the view's physical
  size (debounced, GPU rendering only), so libass, mpv's scaler and the
  shaders work at screen resolution; re-sent after media_kit's own reset
  on new video params, redrawn while paused.
- Dev builds only (Settings → About → Developer): a danmaku preview
  (DanmakuLayer: free lanes in an upper band, density cap with a queue,
  equal crossing time, outlined text, avatars, own-line frame) over the
  real player or a stand-in picture, with samples, a random stream, live
  toasts, every knob and mock subtitles; and "Lift subtitles above the
  chat line and controls": Enter opens a stand-in chat line, bottom
  subtitles move up via mpv sub-pos while it or the control bar is up.
- tool/make_sub_test.sh: a test video with a top \an8 sign, bottom
  dialogue and an SRT track.

Changelog

What changed in each Starsync version, newest first, in plain words. The app shows a version's section when it offers the update and once after it (What's new); the release page shows it too. How entries are added and cut into a release: docs/DEVELOPMENT.md.

Unreleased

Links you put up are downloaded once for everyone, plus What's new and fixes for Windows, the relay and chat.

Added

  • What's new: the update band shows what changed, and after an update the app shows the full list once (also in Settings → About)
  • Sharper subtitles and picture: the video and its subtitles are drawn at your screen's resolution instead of the video's (Settings → Player → Sharp video and subtitles, on by default)

Changed

  • A link you put up is downloaded once: you and everyone else watch the same stream, so nobody drifts ahead or stalls alone, and sites like Bilibili are far less likely to block it

Fixed

  • Joining while something plays on Windows: the video opens again by itself when it was too early
  • Relay: players no longer get stuck after a slow or stalled source
  • Relay: X (Twitter) clips play through the relay
  • Relay: gentler retries, so Bilibili stops blocking the server
  • Relay: a source that refuses the old link (412) gets a fresh address and keeps playing
  • Chat pop-ups stay away while the chat panel is open (the sound still plays)

1.3.2

Fixes Windows closing by itself about 3 seconds after every start.

Fixed

  • Windows: the app no longer closes by itself about 3 seconds after starting (1.3.0 and 1.3.1)

1.3.1

Joining another server no longer opens an empty player, a cleaner mini player and a softer Minimal progress line.

Changed

  • A cleaner mini player: just the picture, play and a plain progress bar
  • Minimal controls: the progress line shown while the controls hide is softer and easier on the eyes

Fixed

  • Joining another server no longer opens an empty player

1.3.0

The app is now called Starsync and was rebuilt inside for stability: a shared countdown to what plays next, honest watched marks, faster relay seeks and many fixes. Everyone must update to keep watching together.

Added

  • A shared countdown to what plays next, and anyone can cancel it
  • The next episode of your local files continues by itself ("Continues with")
  • System notifications while the window is in the background
  • Your own server is always running: Invite your friends straight in
  • See the server's version and everyone's app version
  • The library matches your shows with AniList
  • A new sound engine and new sounds

Changed

  • The app is now called Starsync (your settings and data come along)
  • "Watched" counts only the time you actually watched (Jellyfin too)
  • Joining no longer pauses everyone
  • A dropped connection comes back as the same member, not a new one
  • A server restart no longer loses what was playing
  • Faster seeks over the relay

Fixed

  • The app no longer freezes on exit
  • Shaders on Windows
  • X11: video renders properly again (also with software rendering)
  • Black video when joining mid-play on X11
  • Many stability fixes from the rebuild
