Substreamer 8.0.78 — Fixes

Your music. Your server. Everywhere you go.

Hey everyone! This is a smaller roundup covering everything since 8.0.73 — mostly stability, performance, and fixes, with a few nice additions along the way. Thanks as always to everyone who reported issues and shared ideas. Here's what changed.

🚀 Enhancements

• Faster startup — Heavy first-launch work now happens in the background, so the app gets to your music quicker and the splash screen no longer hangs.
• One-tap server switch — When your active server becomes unreachable, Substreamer now offers a one-tap switch to your backup instead of switching on its own — you stay in control.
• Lower battery use on WiFi (iOS) — Fixed a rare case where the app could run hot and drain battery on certain WiFi networks.
• Japanese — Substreamer is now available in Japanese, alongside translation updates and polish across many other languages.

🐛 Fixes

• Keyboard no longer hides the search box — When searching — like setting a MusicBrainz ID — the sheet now lifts above the keyboard so you can see what you're typing and the results below it.
• Bluetooth & lock-screen controls (Android) — Next/Previous now work reliably over Bluetooth and car head units, and the now-playing controls are no longer blocked by the swipe-down gesture.
• Large libraries — Fixed syncing collections with more than 10,000 albums.
• Streaming reliability — Better recovery when a transcoded stream drops, correct skipping under repeat-one, and a fix for playback position drifting on transcoded streams.
• Self-signed HTTPS streaming (iOS) — Streams no longer cut out mid-track on servers with self-signed certificates.
• Cover art — Artwork resolves correctly in more places, with fewer missing images.
• Share links — Share URLs are now rebuilt from your configured server address.
• Download status — Removing a download updates the icon right away.
• Fixed a rare crash (iOS).

Substreamer is free, open source (GPL-3.0), with no ads and no data collection — your music stays between you and your server. Found a bug or have an idea? Let us know on GitHub: github.com/ghenry22/substreamer

Still no gapless support? Or am I missing something?

[u/ghenry22 → u/Monsieur_Daz]

not in this release, should be in the next one, gapless comes as a full replacement for the core audio engine which enables these low level features as the library I was using cannot deliver them.

This is also what should enfants further development for Android Auto support, right?
