Songify v1.8.11

Features

• Spotify error notifications - Windows toast notifications for Spotify API errors, rate limits, and OAuth issues, with throttling to avoid spam.
• Spotify persistent error banner - Ongoing Spotify issues (especially rate limits and quota cooldowns) are shown in a banner on the main window that survives restarts, with retry timing and dismiss support.
• Spotify and Pear status indicators - Connection state for Spotify and Pear (YouTube Music) is shown on the main window; Pear can be disconnected via the indicator while keeping Pear selected.
• Wrong-player request handling - Song requests targeting the wrong player are rejected; optional channel point refund via new Wrong player requested refund condition (localized).
• Disabled command bot response - Customizable chat response when a known Songify command is registered but disabled; supports {cmd} and other existing placeholders.
• Pear (YouTube Music) sync overhaul - Real-time sync refactored for more reliable WebSocket/HTTP handling, queue correlation, and stale request cleanup.
• WebSocket: song request enable/disable - Documented sr_enable / sr_open and sr_disable / sr_close actions with optional scope (command, reward, or both).

Improvements

• Twitch command feedback - Chat and logs now distinguish unknown commands from registered-but-disabled commands.
• Bits song requests - Improved intake classification, player routing, and diagnostic logging.
• Queue request data - Canonical request metadata is preserved across fallback paths and queue delete/skip actions; incoming playerType values are matched case-insensitively.
• YouTube player type - Normalized to canonical YouTube across the request flow.
• Spotify OAuth - Clearer port 4002 startup diagnostics, PKCE login watchdog, and improved callback page (separate success/error states).
• Windows Playback cover art - Thumbnail signature tracking, retries on track change, and extra fetch/render diagnostics.
• Localization - New strings for wrong-player refunds and disabled-command responses in all supported languages.

Fixes

• Queue Window - Fixed crashes when using unsupported players; Pear queue delete/skip actions work correctly.
• Spotify - Liked Songs - Fixed a Twitch handler crash when the playlist is set to Liked Songs; saves now use a direct HTTP workaround.
• Windows Playback cover art - Fixed UI thread blocking during cover image retries and guarded WinRT stream size conversions for thumbnails.
• Pear - Fixed metadata, paused now-playing state, search null handling, and cold-sync preview refresh when the song id is unchanged.
• Song requests - Fixed request cleanup incorrectly removing pending requests for repeated video IDs; paused Spotify track state is reconciled more reliably.
