- 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.
- Reduced Icecast burst-size from 64KB to 8KB to minimize buffer accumulation
- Fixed spectrum analyzer to only create MediaElementSource once
- Added resetSpectrumAnalyzer() function to allow reconnection
- Prevent now-playing info updates when stream is paused across all players:
* Player page
* Front page
* Pop-out player
* Frame player
* Admin page
- After pause >10s, reconnect stream and reinitialize spectrum analyzer
- Preserves spectrum analyzer functionality after pause/unpause
- Eliminates stuttering and buffer accumulation issues
- Implement Web Audio API-based spectrum analyzer with green gradient bars
- Add spectrum analyzer to front page and persistent player content frames
- Support cross-frame audio element access for frameset mode
- Add CORS headers to Icecast configuration for Web Audio API
- Serve Parenscript-generated JavaScript dynamically via API endpoint
- Canvas visualization appears below page title, above navigation
Changed from static file generation to Radiance API endpoint.
Parenscript now generates JavaScript in-memory at runtime when
the /api/asteroid/spectrum-analyzer.js endpoint is requested.
This is the correct approach for Parenscript integration with Radiance.
Implements real-time audio visualization for the main page:
- Added Parenscript dependency to asteroid.asd
- Created spectrum-analyzer.lisp with Parenscript code
- Added canvas element to front-page.ctml above nav buttons
- Auto-generates JavaScript at compile time
- Green gradient bars matching Asteroid aesthetic
- Uses Web Audio API for FFT analysis
This is the first Parenscript component in Asteroid Radio,
demonstrating the approach for future JavaScript conversions.
- Add favicon.ico, favicon-16x16.png, and favicon-32x32.png
- Add asteroid.png graphic to header on both front-page.ctml and front-page-content.ctml
- Update header styling to display asteroid graphics flanking the station name
- Display last 3 played tracks on front page
- Auto-updates every 30 seconds
- Shows track title, artist, and time ago
- Links to MusicBrainz search for each track
- Thread-safe in-memory storage
- Works in both normal and frameset modes
- Hacker-themed green styling
Implements feature request from fade to show recently played tracks
with linkage to track info at music database.
- Add user password change functionality in profile page
- Add admin password reset functionality in admin dashboard
- Fix listener count to show total from Icecast root tag
- Replace concatenate with format
- Add with-error-handling to API endpoints
- Make Icecast port binding configurable via ICECAST_BIND env var
- Add comprehensive docstrings to public functions
Note: Password reset has known issue with LambdaLite db:update
not updating password-hash field. Issue reported as an issue.
Removed the display of default admin username and password from the
login page template. This information should not be publicly visible
as it poses a security risk in production environments.
Administrators should use secure credential management practices
and change default passwords during initial setup.

and this is kind of a throw-back 8bit computer style font. The colours
are still kind of aggressively unpleasant (to me), but I'm hesitant to
change due to fear of comitting visual violence to people with normal
colour vision. :)
