- Detect when browser pauses muted stream (throttling)
- Auto-reconnect after 3 seconds when paused while muted
- Apply to all three players for consistency
- Implement isReconnecting flag to prevent duplicate reconnect attempts
- Add exponential backoff for error retries (3s, 6s, 12s, max 30s)
- Retry indefinitely until stream returns
- Handle error, stalled, and ended events consistently
- Reset state on successful playback
- Apply same logic to frame player, popout player, and front-page player
Change (new -ClassName) to (ps:new (-ClassName)) for proper ParenScript
macro expansion. Fixes Event and FormData constructors.

ParenScript player.lisp fixes (from easilok):
- Replace == with = for JavaScript equality
- Replace inner-html with inner-h-t-m-l
- Replace parseInt with parse-int
- Replace let with let* where needed for sequential bindings
- Replace new "FormData" with new -Form-data
- Fix audio event listener chaining
- Replace Promise chains with setTimeout callbacks
playlist-management.lisp:
- Remove track-ids field (column doesn't exist, using junction table)
- Add Liquidsoap control panel: status display, skip track, reload playlist, restart container
- Add Icecast restart button to System Status section
- Remove redundant Web Player Control section from admin
- Fix music library scan to follow symlinks (truename resolution)
- Fix database timestamp error (let PostgreSQL default handle added-date)
- Update docker-compose mount for stream-queue.m3u
- Clean up playlist path handling
- Add geo IP lookup for listener locations (ip-api.com)
- Add geo stats table with country flags to admin dashboard
- Fix listener stats table alignment with proper centering
- Fix Now Playing display to update without requiring audio playback
- Add caching for geo lookups to reduce API calls
- Add reconnect button (🔄) to frameset player bar
- Recreate audio element on reconnect to fix wedged MediaElementSource
- Properly close and reinitialize AudioContext for spectrum analyzer
- Preserve volume and muted state when reconnecting
- Show status messages for connection issues
- Reduce Now Playing update interval to 5 seconds
- Add front-page.js to player-content.ctml for Now Playing updates
- Create About pages (about.ctml and about-content.ctml)
- Add About link to navigation in both modes
- Dropdown boxes now dynamically update their text and border colors to match selected theme
- Prevents color clashing between UI elements and spectrum analyzer
- Colors update both on theme change and on page load
- Add monotone theme with deep blue to cobalt gradient
- Update canvas border color dynamically to match selected theme
- Set initial border color on page load based on saved preference
Major Changes:
- Convert all JavaScript files to Parenscript for better maintainability
- Move spectrum-analyzer to parenscript/ directory structure
- Add parenscript-utils.lisp for shared utilities
- Convert admin.js, player.js, front-page.js, auth-ui.js to Parenscript
- Convert profile.js, users.js, recently-played.js to Parenscript
Stream Reconnect Fixes (from merged PR):
- Add reset-spectrum-analyzer function to properly clean up Web Audio API
- Implement reconnect logic for pauses longer than 10 seconds
- Detect stale audio in 'playing' event and force stream reconnection
- Prevent 'Now Playing' updates while stream is paused
- Reduce reconnect delay to 200ms for faster response
- Add proper spectrum analyzer reset/reinit during reconnection
UX Improvements:
- Change live indicator from blink to smooth pulse (2s ease-in-out)
- Pulse animation like old PowerBook/MacBook sleep indicator
- Add MUTED indicator to spectrum analyzer when audio is muted
- Spectrum continues to flow even when muted (data still streaming)
- Red 'MUTED' text displayed in top-right corner of canvas
Technical Details:
- Parenscript files generate JavaScript via API endpoints
- All player modes updated: main player, front page, popout, frame player
- Improved audio context handling to only create once per element
- Added comprehensive error handling and logging
- Updated asteroid.asd to include parenscript module structure
Documentation:
- Updated all documentation dates to 2025-12-06
- Added PARENSCRIPT-EXPERIMENT.org documenting the conversion
- Updated PROJECT-HISTORY.org with Phase 9 (Visual Audio Features)
- Added comprehensive project statistics (408 commits, 9,300 LOC)
This conversion improves code maintainability by using Lisp throughout
the stack and makes it easier to share code between frontend and backend.
- Detect pauses longer than 10 seconds across all player modes
- Intercept 'playing' event to stop stale buffered audio
- Force stream reconnect to get live audio after long pause
- Reset and reinitialize spectrum analyzer during reconnect
- Prevent 'Now Playing' updates while stream is paused
- Move spectrum-analyzer.lisp to parenscript/ directory
- Update all documentation dates to 2025-12-06
- Add comprehensive project statistics (408 commits, 9,300 LOC)
- Add Phase 9 (Visual Audio Features) to project history
Fixes issue where resuming playback after a long pause would play
old buffered audio instead of the current live stream. The fix uses
the 'playing' event to detect when stale audio starts and immediately
stops it, then reconnects to get fresh stream data.
All player modes updated: main player, front page, popout, and frame player.
