🌿 Junimo Jams — v5.2.0 Changelog

Latest Release & Improvements

🎶 Universal YouTube Music Support

• Browser & Desktop Support
  • Out-of-the-box support for browser-based YouTube Music (including Chrome, Safari, Edge, Brave, Arc, Firefox, Helium, and more).
  • Native desktop app integration.
• Real-Time Tracking
  • Built using custom native hooks: Windows EnumWindows, macOS AppleScript, and Linux MPRIS2.
  • Song transitions are detected instantly without becoming stuck in browser window title caches.

🎵 Massive Player Expansion

• New Built-in Players
  • Added plug-and-play support for TIDAL, Deezer, Cider, Plexamp, foobar2000, MusicBee, AIMP, Winamp, MediaMonkey, VLC, Strawberry, and Rhythmbox.
• Custom Process Monitoring
  • Easily track any unlisted media player by adding its process name directly to the ExtraPlayers setting in your config.json.

🗺️ Smart Map Hiding

• HUD Auto-Hiding
  • The HUD now automatically hides itself whenever you open the world map (M key) or any non-inventory menu.
  • Fully compatible with World Atlas and other UI-overlay mods.

✨ Advanced Album Art Engine

• Jaccard Token Similarity
  • Browser playing states (like raw YouTube Music window titles) are parsed and queried against the iTunes API.
  • Results are scored using a smart Jaccard word-token matching algorithm to resolve exact artist names and download high-quality 600x600px cover art.
• Smart Local Caching
  • Downloaded covers and resolved titles are cached inside the cache/ folder (as .png and .txt files) for instant loading during replay with zero network overhead.

🎨 Visual & Polish Upgrades

• Transitions — Added a cozy, smooth fade-in animation for album art and text when a new track starts.
• Drop-Shadows — Subtle drop shadows applied to text labels to guarantee readability on bright custom themes.
• Button Hover Glow — Playback controls respond with an interactive, glowing visual feedback.

🔠 Unicode normalisation (Character Fixer)

• Font Normalization
  • Converts special Turkish (ı, ş, ğ, ç, ö, ü), Cyrillic, and international characters.
  • Fixes empty square glyphs ("box character") by mapping them to legible font counterparts.

🐛 Bug Fixes & Under-the-Hood Improvements

• Performance: Prevented duplicate playback status queries to reduce resource usage and optimize performance.
• Stability: Resolved feature disparities across platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux).
