Gives every media player its own details, so a client can show and control any of them, and lets you pick the player and set the default audio devices in the web client. Also reads the clipboard with an event, and keeps Hyprland 0.57 window groups working.

Media

  • Report each player in media.players with the same details as the top-level media: album, artwork, position and duration, volume, shuffle, repeat, track number, playback rate and which controls it supports. Pass its id as player in MEDIA_CONTROL to control it
  • Cache the artwork of up to 8 players, rather than only the last one

Clipboard

  • Read the clipboard's text with the CLIPBOARD_GET_TEXT event, system-bridge clipboard get and the system_bridge_get_clipboard MCP tool. See input

Hyprland

  • Lock and unlock window groups with Hyprland 0.57's group.lock, and keep the old form for 0.56
  • Report the deprecated settings Hyprland's config uses in hyprland.config_notices, and show them on the web client's Desktop page

Web client

  • Pick which player the Media page shows and controls, with Automatic for the one System Bridge picks. The choice is kept in the browser, and the other players get their own cards below. See media
  • Lay out the Audio page like the Media page: the default output and input each get a main card with a picker and a volume slider, with the other devices under them

Home Assistant dashboard

  • Add an Audio page, and the power buttons, ready for the entities coming in Home Assistant 2026.12

Connector

  • Add the per-player media details and CLIPBOARD_GET_TEXT to the Python and TypeScript connectors, and config_notices to their Hyprland data
  • Require System Bridge 5 in the Python connector

Linux

  • Add a system-bridge-full Nix package with most of the optional tools on its PATH. See NixOS

Windows

  • Set up signing for Windows builds through SignPath (Note this is only for test signing right now, you will still get the windows prompt), and add the code signing policy to the docs
  • Remove the NowPlaying folder on uninstall
  • Store the version info under resource ID 1, so Windows shows it on the executable

Moved

  • The clipboard command prefab is gone. Saved commands that use it are dropped when the settings load; read the clipboard with CLIPBOARD_GET_TEXT instead
