Release 2.11

AUDIOBIT RELEASE 2.11

Highlights:

• Added Spotify and Discord remote command support (playback, seek, volume, mute/deafen, and state queries).
• Added query payload responses via cmd_result.data for richer remote UX.
• Added Spotify service support for seek and Spotify Connect volume control.
• Added installer live metadata integration (release version, stars, rating) with fallback handling.

Bugfixes:

• Fixed remote query commands returning empty success by including response data payloads.
• Fixed remote reconnect behavior where disabled auto-reconnect could leave session loops stalled.
• Fixed Google Sheets timestamp consistency using IST-formatted timestamps with timezone fallback.
• Fixed Spotify seek parsing for ms/percent input variants with safe clamping and clearer error mapping.

2.10

created a new log-review system
Adds a new Discord side widget with quick mute and deafen controls, live voice activity feedback, and a dedicated Settings toggle so Discord controls sit alongside the existing Spotify companion panel.
Discord authorization is now persisted more reliably, and saved Discord sessions reconnect automatically after restart instead of dropping back to a disconnected state every time the app launches again.
Adds Google Sheets log export support from the desktop app so the last 5 minutes of AudioBit logs can be pushed into a spreadsheet for easier troubleshooting and device-by-device diagnostics.
The Google Sheets integration now includes a companion Apps Script flow that can confirm the destination tab, create missing sheets on demand, and keep a compact log column layout for quicker review.
Updater-friendly setup, portable package, and Velopack release assets remain included for smoother installs and updates.
Refines the Spotify widget with a flatter pitch-black look, sharper play/pause button, a compact song progress bar, and cleaner show or hide behavior from Settings.
Spotify playback handling is more reliable across pauses, remote-device playback, reconnects, and device switches, so album art and the widget visualiser stay alive more consistently.
The Spotify visualiser has been retuned with smoother independent motion, a slightly stronger presence, and a softer fallback animation when music is playing on another device.
Per-app routing looks cleaner: collapsed speaker and microphone selectors now hide the System default - prefix while the full device name still appears in the dropdown list.
Updater-friendly setup, portable package, and Velopack release assets remain included for smoother installs and updates.

AudioBit 2.7

+- Restyles the Spotify widget with a flatter pitch-black shell, cleaner monochrome controls, a slimmer song progress bar, and a more Spotify-like look in both collapsed and expanded views.
+- Spotify playback handling is more resilient around refresh hiccups, temporary Spotify outages, and short device handoffs, so track details and controls stay alive more consistently instead of dropping out immediately.
+- The Spotify visualiser now behaves more naturally when music is playing on another device, keeping smoother motion and a softer fallback animation even when AudioBit cannot capture a strong local Spotify peak.
+- The side widget is less twitchy to use: hovering between the tab and the expanded panel is handled more cleanly, so it does not collapse as aggressively while you move onto the controls.
