YumaPlayer v1.2.0-RC.1

A massive milestone update representing over a month of intensive development and a complete architectural overhaul. This release introduces a dedicated low-level audio DSP engine, the YDS 2.1 design system with a draggable Telegram-spec navigation island, native Spotify browsing, Canvas loops, robust proxy networking, and deep performance optimizations.

✨ Major Highlights

🎛️ Audio Engine & Smart Automix (`:core:audio-dsp`)

Dual-Deck Continuous Crossfade: True gapless playback using two independent, synchronized audio deck controllers with atomic role swapping. Zero silence between tracks.
DJ Transition Intelligence: Automated outro/intro cue detection, energy cliff analysis, BPM matching, and complementary bass-swap filters (0.45–0.55 window).
Audiophile Codec Pipeline: Dedicated 24-bit packed PCM processing, Kopus-first Opus decoding with MediaCodec fallback, and native FLAC length resolution.
Stall Guard & Recovery: Intelligent fallback to hard cuts during network drops, background stream revival upon reconnection, and strict source-scoped cache identities.
N+1 Prefetching: Seamless background caching of upcoming tracks into the local download cache.

🏝️ YDS 2.1 & Gesture Physics

Draggable Navigation Island: Compact, draggable floating dock inspired by Telegram specifications, featuring dynamic corner morphing, scroll-hide sync, and local haptic feedback.
Unified Player Sheet V2: Re-engineered gesture physics with GPU-accelerated backdrop blur (Haze), isolated drag layers, and independent artwork scaling.
Canvas Backdrop Engine: Hardware-accelerated background video loops supporting up to 4K resolution, backed by an isolated cache to prevent ghosting during track changes.
Spoiler Veil: Interactive Telegram-grade particle engine to obscure tokens and sensitive settings.
Particle Splash Screen: Customizable startup burst physics with shape selectors and offline state management.

🟢 Native Spotify Catalog

Native Album Screen: Browse Spotify albums and custom playlists directly inside Yuma without external app dependencies.
Two-Tier Search & Deduplication: Multi-stage scoring algorithm with cross-script deduplication and semaphore-throttled YouTube matching.
Locale-Aware Metadata: Automatic synchronization with the device's locale and language headers.

🛡️ Network, Stability & SponsorBlock

SponsorBlock Integration: Configurable in-app segment skipping (fillers, reminders, music hooks).
SOCKS5 Proxy Support: Native proxy routing with JVM Authenticator support.
Stream Decryption v3: Updated signature deobfuscation and PoToken generation routines to handle strict YouTube stream delivery.
Memory Leak Elimination: Integrated LeakCanary 2.14, resolved theme lifecycle leaks, stopped background palette extract loops, and bounded karaoke memory allocations.

🛠️ Detailed Changes

Playback & Queue

Auto-scroll to currently playing track inside the queue layer.
Reordered queue operations to use immutable item UIDs instead of volatile layout indices.
Bounded memory allocations for karaoke lyrics models to eliminate Out-Of-Memory crashes.
Extracted Discord RPC and playback history tracking into isolated specialists.

Integrations & Settings

SponsorBlock Controls: In-app settings to auto-skip or notify for sponsor segments, music hooks, fillers, and subscription reminders on YouTube Music tracks.
Random Background on Startup: Optional dynamic styling that rolls a random home background palette upon launching the app.
Enhanced Privacy & Security: Sensitive tokens and proxy credentials can now be concealed with the interactive Spoiler Veil.

UI & Screens

Home Screen: Adaptive card dimensions, alternating contextual greeting header, and isolated category chip sections with zero layout jump.
Canvas Player Progress: Replaced Material 3 slider with a custom Canvas-based PlayerProgressSlider with transition markers.
Modular Screen Architecture: Decomposed MainActivity down to 145 lines; refactored Artist, Album, Playlist, and Search screens into strict contracts and components under 250 lines.
About Screen: Integrated real-time team, respecters, and translator credits directly from repository data.

Localization

Added full support for Slovak and Georgian.
Comprehensive translation updates across dozens of languages via Hosted Weblate: Indonesian, Spanish, Japanese, German, Hindi, Italian, Turkish, Portuguese (Brazil), Ukrainian, Russian, Arabic, French, Dutch, and more.

⚠️ Known Limitations for RC.1

18+ Search Videos: Playback of age-restricted video streams originating directly from raw search queries is temporarily restricted due to client authentication checks; official artist audio tracks and albums remain unaffected.
Automix Background Analysis: Initial local track analysis runs silently in the background on the first playback pass before transition markers are stored in the database.
