Lumière Play

v0.7.0 - Seeking Together, Light and an Honest Screen

⏱ Seeking Is Shared Now

• ← → step the video by 5 seconds for everyone watching, not just for you
• The clock button pushes your current moment to the whole group — handy when someone started the film without you
• ↻ moves the shared timeline back to the start
• If a source has no known length (live streams and some others), seeking is refused with a clear message instead of a silent jump somewhere
• A small badge tells you where you stand: "In sync" or "Sync +3s"

🪢 No More Rubberbanding

• Falling behind now closes in several short steps instead of one huge jump
• How big a single step may be is your call: sync.max_step_ms in the config, 30 seconds by default
• Long films keep following the shared clock properly — the timeline used to stop tracking after a while

💡 The Projector Lights the Room

• While a video plays, the block gives off light, so a dark hall no longer needs a trail of torches
• Pause, an error or a broken block turns the light back off
• A soft glow around the frame takes the average colour of what is on screen: night scenes spill blue, fire spills orange
• Too much for someone? "glow_tint": false in config/lumiereplay.json hides it for that player only, everyone else keeps the light

🖥 Quality That Doesn't Lie

• The panel now shows the picture you actually get, for example "Source 1280x720" or "Source 640x368"
• YouTube on Linux and macOS still tops out at 360p — that is how the streams arrive through the pipe, not a rendering bug
• On Windows the same link can be muxed to full quality today: network.ytdlp_args lets you pass your own format selection to yt-dlp

⛏️ Blocks Behave Like Blocks

• Breaking a projector with a pickaxe returns the block — before this release it simply vanished
• Correct mining speed and the usual "wrong tool, no drop" behaviour

⚙️ Config That Actually Does Something

• These were saved to the file and ignored. Now they work: audio.volume, audio.max_distance, lazy.pause_distance, screen.bezel_size, network.proxy, network.vlc_args
• New: sync.max_step_ms, screen.glow_tint, network.ytdlp_args

🤝 Compatibility

• 0.7.0 works next to 0.6.x on both sides
• Players on an older version keep everything they had, they just miss the shared timeline
• No world reset, no config rewrite

🐛 Also

• Seeking, the sync badge and the reset button behave the same on a local file and on a stream
• Restarting a stream link re-resolves it instead of reusing a dead address
