- New mediahive/volume_control.py module controls master volume on
Windows (IAudioEndpointVolume via ctypes), macOS (osascript), and
Linux/PipeWire (wpctl).
- UI slider x in [0, 1.5] maps to linear amp via:
amp = 0.02*x if x < 0.1
amp = (exp(6*x)-1)/402.42879349 otherwise
- PipeWire supports >100% amplification natively (up to x=1.5).
- Windows and macOS clamp at x=1.0 (100%) since their system mixers
do not support amplification above unity.
- Gamepad D-pad up/down now controls system volume in 0.01 steps.
- JsApi exposes set_volume(), get_volume(), and volume_max() for the
frontend to query platform limits and control volume directly.
- No external dependencies: uses ctypes on Windows, subprocess on
Linux/macOS. No PulseAudio fallback.
- Add ruff ignore rules for ctypes COM boilerplate patterns.
Backend:
- Add mediahive/players.py with cross-platform player detection:
- Windows: MPC-BE, MPC-HC, VLC, PotPlayer, mpv (registry + known paths)
- macOS: IINA, VLC (/Applications bundle scanning)
- Linux: VLC, SMPlayer (PATH via which)
- Add GET /api/players endpoint returning detected players
- Extend POST /api/roots/{id}/play to accept player_id and player_custom_cmd
- Make MPC-BE web UI port configurable via ?port= query param
Frontend:
- Add player selection to settings (localStorage, per-client)
- Two-column layout: player list (9.5em) + contextual options panel
- Contextual options: Custom Command input, MPC Web UI Port input
- Empty MPC port disables all Web UI polling/connection attempts
- MPC-BE polling only runs when MPC family player is selected and port is set
- useMediaWebSocket: shallowRef mediaIndex/tasks/loading/error/connected
to eliminate Proxy overhead on the entire library data structure.
- useMediaWebSocket: replace per-task setTimeout leak with single 3s
sweep interval for completed task cleanup.
- App.vue: remove {deep:true} watcher on mediaIndex; shallow ref change
is sufficient to trigger search worker sync.
- useGamepadNavigation: rAF only when gamepads are connected; idle
fallback to 500ms setTimeout to stop permanent 60fps CPU drain.
- useKeyboardNavigation: deduplicate synced scroll rAF requests to
prevent overlapping animation frames.
- MediaDetail/SeriesFullView/CollageHero: pause, clear src, and load()
video elements on unmount and before ref replacement to release
decoder/memory resources.
- MediaDetail/SeriesFullView: clear all volume fade intervals on
unmount to stop interval timer leaks.
