## 2026-10-26

- Project created.

2026-10-28 iOS: stemd queue state (STEMMING/QUEUED/FAILED tags, Stem Now state, CarPlay, stemd line in Stem Server settings). Plex sign-in via plex.tv adds every server and all music libraries.
2026-10-28 iOS: media fetch errors (HTTP 500/404) now include the Plex host, port and path.
2026-10-28 iOS: Plex refresh keeps each server's library selection (new servers still get all libraries). Music Servers list moved to its own page under Plex Account.
2026-10-28 iOS: CarPlay Downloads opens onto Playlists/Albums/Artists/Songs, limited to downloaded music.
2026-10-28 iOS: stem playlists refresh their track metadata from Plex on each library load. Playlist covers can be changed from the playlist menu.
2026-10-28 iOS: Downloads 3-dots menu gets View Queue (waiting, downloading, failed, done).
2026-10-28 iOS: Library screen can be reordered (Reorder button). Library Radio and Random Album Radio shuffle the whole library.
2026-10-28 iOS: Random Album Radio plays whole albums in track order, albums in random order across the library, loading the next album as one finishes.
2026-10-28 iOS: Library screen Reorder now covers whole sections (Recent Plays, Recently Added, On This Day, Stations, Browse) and each can be shown or hidden
2026-10-28 iOS: Removed drag reorder from the Tab Bar settings page
2026-10-28 iOS: CarPlay Downloads Playlists, Albums and Artists load from local downloads, work offline
2026-10-28 iOS: Stem playlist metadata refresh matches by key, file, then title/artist with a search fallback, and also runs when the app returns to the foreground
2026-10-29 server: stemd prunes stems whose source song is gone (orphans). PRUNE, PRUNE_CHANGED, PRUNE_MAX env. server/prune.py is a dry-run CLI.
2026-10-31 iOS: version is now 1.0 RC 1 (build 21). Bundle version 1.0, label in StemifyVersionLabel, IPA stemify-1.0-rc1.ipa, tag ios-v1.0-rc1.
2026-10-31 iOS: battery and heat. Waveform redraws 4/s instead of 120, meters and playing bars capped at 30 fps. Engine sleeps until its buffer is half drained (120 ms foreground, 600 ms with no screen), 2 s idle while paused. Decoders wake on a low-water mark and run at userInitiated. stemd polling stops in the background unless CarPlay is connected. Widget reloads settle for 0.6 s.
2026-10-31 web: player redraws the waveform only when the playhead moves a bar (200 ms tick instead of rAF), caches the envelope, and stops polling while the tab is hidden.
2026-11-06 iOS: version is now 1.0 RC 2 (build 22). IPA stemify-1.0-rc2.ipa, tag ios-v1.0-rc2.
2026-11-06 iOS: plain Plex songs play when Remote Access has an upload cap. Streams now ask Plex for a playback decision first and fetch the part with that session, like Plexamp, instead of a bare part URL that Plex rejected with a 500.
2026-11-06 iOS: shuffle buttons (Songs, Library Radio) play server-side random batches of 100 and top up as the queue runs low, instead of loading the whole library and timing out.
2026-11-06 iOS: Random Album Radio works like Plexamp. It shuffles the album list once, keeps about 8 albums queued ahead in that order, plays each album in track order, and tops up when 3 are left. The station survives a restart.
2026-11-06 iOS: Recently Added has See All, a full scrolling list sorted by date added. Tapping a song on the Library page plays from it through the last 500 added songs.
2026-11-06 iOS: stem playlist covers can come from Photos (Change Cover > Choose from Photos). Stored on the phone, 1200 px JPEG.
2026-11-06 iOS: crossfade, Off or 1-12 s in Settings > Listening. Equal-power fade, Sweet Fades skips it between songs of the same album. Seeking during a fade finishes it.
