Optimized the timeout after stream reconnection to make the pause/unpause
experience more responsive. The 200ms delay is sufficient for the browser
to clear buffers and start the fresh stream while minimizing perceived lag.
- 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
- Add frameset mode with persistent audio player in bottom frame
- Add localStorage preference system for user choice
- Update all page navigation to work in both regular and frameset modes
- Add enable/disable buttons for frameset mode
- Fix redirect loops and template parameter issues
- Add pop-out player window (400x300px) with auto-reconnect on stream errors
- Add queue reordering with up/down buttons in admin panel
- Add 'Load Queue from M3U' functionality
- Remove Play/Stream buttons from track management
- Fix Liquidsoap audio quality issues:
- Remove ReplayGain and compression to prevent pulsing
- Change reload_mode to 'seconds' to prevent playlist exhaustion
- Reduce crossfade to 3 seconds
- Add audio buffering settings for stability
- Add auto-reconnect logic for both front page and pop-out players
- Update API paths from /asteroid/api/ to /api/asteroid/ in users.js and profile.js
- Add RADIANCE API wrapper handling for icecast-status responses
- Improve error handling in player.js loadTracks function
- All frontend code now properly handles define-api response format
- Converted 15 API endpoints from define-page to define-api
- Added JSON API format configuration for proper JSON responses
- Updated all frontend JavaScript files to use new API URLs
- Maintained define-page for HTML pages and static file serving
- Added comprehensive documentation of changes
Benefits:
- Framework compliance with Radiance best practices
- Automatic routing at /api/asteroid/<name>
- Clean lambda-list parameter handling
- Built-in browser/API dual usage support
- Proper HTTP status codes for errors
All API endpoints tested and working correctly.
