Replace PulseAudio monitor capture with direct file streaming.
Qt6's FFmpeg/PipeWire-native audio backend ignores PULSE_SINK so
the monitor captured silence. StreamingWorker now receives the
playing file path via a command queue and pipes it through ffmpeg
-re (real-time rate) directly to the server as audio_chunk events.
- Add switch_file() / stop_file() to StreamingWorker
- Replace ffmpeg pulse capture loop with file-based cmd loop
- DeckWidget.play() calls switch_file(path, position_ms)
- DeckWidget.pause()/stop() calls stop_file()
- Add now_playing socket relay in server.py
- listener.js handles now_playing event to show track title
- Add deck_glow emission from Qt deck play/pause/stop
- Added toast notification system for visible feedback
- Implemented settings persistence via localStorage
- Added auto-crossfade logic (smooth 5s transition)
- Removed ~100 lines of dead SERVER_SIDE_AUDIO code
- Fixed seekTo speed bug by capturing current playbackRate
- Debounced drawWaveform with requestAnimationFrame
- Added 'SETTINGS' header and close button to settings panel
- Wired loadFromServer errors to toast notifications
- Stacked control buttons vertically to clear crossfader
- server.py: Increase ping_timeout 10->60, ping_interval 5->25 to prevent
frequent socket disconnects during audio streaming
- server.py: Guard dj_start() against reconnect loops - only clear pre-roll
and emit broadcast_started on a fresh broadcast, not on DJ reconnects
- listener.js: Add polling fallback to transports (websocket-only caused
silent failure on upgrade error), set reconnectionAttempts to Infinity
- script.js: Same transport fallback fix for DJ panel socket
- techdj_qt.py: Add _broadcast_started flag to StreamingWorker.on_connect
so streaming_started signal only fires once; reconnects resume silently.
Reset flag in stop_streaming() for clean next session.
- script.js: Remove ~500 lines of dead listener mode code (initListenerMode, enableListenerAudio, setListenerVolume, startListenerVUMeter, getMp3FallbackUrl, listener variables). Listener page now uses listener.js exclusively.
- script.js: Remove ?listen=true detection from DOMContentLoaded that could activate broken listener UI on DJ panel.
- script.js: Clean up initSocket() to remove dead listener mode detection logic.
- index.html: Remove dead #listener-mode div (now served by listener.html).
- server.py: Move 'abort' import to top-level Flask import instead of per-request import.
- techdj_qt.py: Fix StreamingWorker to create fresh socketio.Client on each streaming session, preventing stale socket state on reconnect.
- techdj_qt.py: Fix time.sleep(0.2) blocking GUI thread in stop_streaming() by removing it and using try/except for clean disconnect.
- Add config.example.json with all options: host, dj_port, listener_port,
dj_panel_password, secret_key, music_folder, stream_bitrate, max_upload_mb,
cors_origins, debug (copy to config.json to use)
- server.py: drive host/ports/secrets/CORS/upload limit from config.json;
fix serve_static to use allowlist only; move re import to top-level;
fix inconsistent indentation in login/logout/before_request handlers
- script.js: fix undefined decks.crossfader in updateUIFromMixerStatus;
declare mediaRecorder as a proper let variable
- techdj_qt.py: replace blocking time.sleep poll in YTDownloadWorker with
non-blocking QTimer; fix fragile or-chained lambda in recording reset
- Removed all emojis from UI (replaced with text labels)
- Converted all American English to British English (initialise, optimise, visualiser)
- Fixed mobile queue section visibility in portrait/landscape modes
- Added proper CSS rules for show-queue-A and show-queue-B classes
- Repositioned floating action buttons to prevent overlap with mobile tabs
- Added responsive button sizing for mobile (50px) and small screens (45px)
- Stacked buttons vertically on screens ≤480px
- Disabled all body::before border effects that were blocking UI
- Fixed crossfader width: 70% in portrait, 100% in landscape
- Removed unnecessary .md files (COMPARISON.md, PYQT5_FEATURES.md, QUICKSTART.md, README_PYQT5.md)
- Updated README.md with British English and removed emojis
- Server-side: Added remote URL support in ffmpeg transcoder
- UI: Added relay controls in streaming panel with URL input
- Client: Added start/stop relay functions with socket communication
- Listener: Shows remote relay status in stream indicator
