Dream Displays

Highlights

• UI improvements like gradient fill, shimmer effects, and more place for suggestions
• Enhanced media player stability and performance; now seeks are smoother and faster
• Enhanced native logging and error handling
• Fix Fabric 1.21.1 display rendering
• Fixed some minor issues and edge cases

Client

Features

• Added gradient fill and shimmer effects for thumbnails and loading states

Improvements

• Pausing now keeps the decoder warm on every pipeline, so resume is instant instead of restarting the stream
• Seeking no longer tears the whole session down before reconnecting: the picture holds its last frame while the target position warms up in the background, then jumps — including the loop wrap-around in synced / broadcast modes
• The first decoded frame is now shown immediately on start and seek instead of waiting for the playback cushion to fill
• Stream startup got faster: FFmpeg no longer probes the container with its default 5 MB / 5 s window
• Stall recovery now reconnects in the background while the picture holds its last frame instead of blanking
• Reduced render overhead on 26.x versions
• Removed unreachable frame-resize handling from the video reader loop
• Updated the in-process YouTube resolver NewPipeExtractor
• Enhanced LAV decoder with cached packets
• Enhanced natives logging and error handling
• Enhanced thumbnail's quality

Fixes

• Fixed Fabric 1.21.1 display rendering
• Fixed two different videos sharing the same thumbnail when their IDs differed only by letter case
• Fixed a failed thumbnail registration being able to crash the game
• Fixed a rare race during quality switches that could destroy the live display textures and leave the screen rendering through dead handles
• Fixed display teardown leaving already-freed textures reachable, which could lead to rendering through dead handles
• Fixed player initialization callbacks getting lost when registered right as initialization finished
• Fixed the reappearance audio bridge potentially starting mid-sample, which could produce noise
• Fixed several retrying displays being able to block every other display's initialization
• Fixed leaked yt-dlp subprocesses when the fast in-process resolver crashed mid-race

Server

Fixes

• Fixed displays with long URLs on MySQL
• Fixed display deletion logic and enhanced Multiverse-like projects compatibility
• Fixed legacy sync packets being able to store an arbitrarily large video duration on the server
