Summary

AI summary

Seek and volume keyboard controls were removed, requiring users to update Python to at least version 3.10.

Full changelog

Bug fixes

Improved --sync — now recommended with -s

The sync engine has been rewritten. It now recovers automatically when the system slows down instead of over-skipping frames, and handles pause/resume correctly without drifting.

# Recommended usage with audio
hoopoe -s --sync https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxx

Fixed audio on live streams [#1]

Audio now starts correctly for HLS/DASH live URLs. This closes the issue that has been tracked since v0.1.0.

Fixed startup screen

No more leftover lines visible before the first frame renders.

New features

Alternate screen buffer

hoopoe now uses the terminal alternate screen buffer (\033[?1049h / \033[?1049l). Your terminal history is fully preserved on exit and there are no scroll artifacts during playback.
