High-Throughput Stream Caching Architecture
- Local Stream Cache & Proxy Server: Integrated a resilient local HTTP caching proxy (
PlaybackStreamCacheServer.swift,PlaybackStreamCacheManager.swift,PlaybackStreamDiskCache.swift) to pre-buffer media segments onto disk and memory. - Configurable Cache Limits & Policies: Fine-tune maximum stream cache sizes, prefetch margins, and eviction strategies directly in playback settings (
PlaybackCacheSettings.swift), backed by comprehensive unit tests (PlaybackStreamCacheTests.swift).
Direct Jellyfin & SMB Media Library Indexing
- Direct SMB Share Indexing: Faster scanning, metadata extraction, and robust reconnect handling for local SMB file shares (
SMBLibraryIndex.swift). - Jellyfin Library Integration: Enriched metadata resolution, directory structure traversal, and synchronized watch status with remote Jellyfin instances (
JellyfinLibraryIndex.swift).
Intro & Outro Auto-Skip Detection
- IntroDB Integration: Automated skip triggers with high-precision timestamp markers (
IntroDBSkipService.swift) to smoothly skip show intros and recap segments.
Playback Engine & Buffering Stability
- Adaptive Playback Transitions: Hardened stream loading state machines and playback controller lifecycles (
AetherPlaybackController.swift,PlayerView+Lifecycle.swift,PlayerView+Layers.swift). - Buffering Policy Refinements: Streamlined buffering HUD and network fluctuation recovery to ensure unbroken playback.
AltStore, SideStore & Feather Repository Feed
- Multi-Source Sideloading Feed: Updated
apps.jsonwith complete release history, bundle metadata, and fast direct downloads for AltStore, SideStore, and Feather app managers.
Tests & Stability
- 365 automated unit and regression tests passing with 0 failures across stream caching, profile isolation, playback policies, scrobble tracking, and catalog decoding.
Known issues
- Picture in Picture requires a supported Apple TV 4K / tvOS 15+ device.
- Physical Apple TV playback, HDMI/HDR/Dolby Vision, AirPlay receivers, Atmos hardware, and live-TV paths still need real-device validation; the Apple TV Simulator cannot play AV1.
