Dream Displays

Highlights

- Synced playback now survives the Atlantic: no more endless skipping on slow or far-away connections - Fixed "Unrecoverable stream failure" for Google Drive - Minor codebase improvements

Client

Improvements

- Better transatlantic synchronization: - A synced display learns how long a jump takes on your connection and aims far enough ahead to land on time - If jumps still keep landing behind, it waits longer between them and accepts a few seconds of delay instead of skipping again and again - Seeking in long Google Drive videos is about 3x faster

Fixes

- Fixed synced videos skipping forward over and over (and sometimes never starting) when the video host is far away, e.g. American services for players in Europe - Fixed "Unrecoverable stream failure" for Google Drive ([#261](https://github.com/arnodoelinger/dreamdisplays/issues/261))

Server

Improvements

- Everyone starts together: a new video on a Synced or Broadcast display waits 5 seconds so every viewer can buffer first, then starts for all at once - Less network traffic for big audiences: synced displays send a keep-alive every 5 seconds instead of every 2 (pause, seek and video changes are still sent instantly) - Minor codebase improvements

Highlights

- Experimental addons: you can build your own Fabric / NeoForge mod or Paper addon - A much simpler experimental developer API

Client

Features

- Experimental addons: - Mark a class with @Addon and register it with DreamDisplays.register(...) - Works on the client, the server, or both - Everything an addon subscribes to is cleaned up automatically when it is disabled

Improvements

- Much simpler developer API: - One entry point, DreamDisplays, instead of a set of service keys - A display is now a live object: display.volume = 0.5f, display.play(), display.seek(30_000) - Act on many displays at once: DreamDisplays.displays.near(x, y, z, 32.0).pause() - Subscriptions are grouped in a session and closed together; per-display ones end when the display is removed - Commands return a clear result, and a removed display never crashes your code - onReady { } lets your code wait until Dream Displays has loaded - API for moving displays: DreamDisplays.placements tells Dream Displays where a display really is, and it is drawn, heard, clicked and culled there - API for addon data on displays (display.customData) and public display position math - The API is published as a separate artifact with sources, and now contains only what integrations can use

Fixes

- API methods no longer have unreadable names in some cases

Server

Features

- Server API for Paper, Fabric and NeoForge - Support experimental addons

Highlights

- Much better performance with many displays at once - YouTube videos start and seek up to 5x faster - Youer server crash fix

Client

Improvements

- YouTube videos start up to 5x faster: the picture no longer freezes on its first frame while the sound loads - Seeking in YouTube videos resumes up to 5x faster - Videos from every source start a bit faster: sound and picture now load at the same time - Displays you are not looking at are no longer drawn or uploaded to the GPU - Far and small displays now play at a lower resolution automaiccally - Up to 9x less memory per far display, plus a shared memory limit for all displays - Up to 30% less CPU for software video decoding when several displays play at once - 4–10x fewer raycasts for 3D sound, and none at all for muted displays - On 26.2 and newer, displays no longer create new GPU buffers every frame

Fixes

- Fixed displays with Auto quality staying at a lower resolution after you walked away and came back - Fixed the sound of some YouTube videos failing with a 403 error, which made the whole video reload

Improvements
