[plugin.audio.difm] v1.0.1

[edouardduliege]

Maintenance update for the DI.FM community add-on.

Changes include:

• improved stream-server fallback handling
• Linux kernel-managed playback-state locking with flock
• atomic and private session-cache writes
• immediate stream startup without blocking on optional metadata
• simplified playback state and removal of unused code paths
• explicit missing-channel validation
• improved debug logging for metadata API failures and stream mismatches
• metadata polling interval increased from 10 to 15 seconds
• minor localisation and publication-documentation cleanup

This remains an unofficial community add-on and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or supported by DI.FM or AudioAddict.

Confidence Score: 3/5

[Medium risk] Maintenance release with playback state handling and session security improvements.

The PR is not ready to merge until legacy lock directories are handled and playback retains a recovery path when probes fail.

Findings

1.  Legacy lock blocks state writes ▶
2.  Failed probes prevent playback ▶
3.   Stream URLs enter debug logs ▶
4.  Sequential probes delay playback ▶

Summary

This maintenance update replaces directory-based playback-state locking, makes session writes atomic, probes streams with streamed GET requests, and moves initial track metadata entirely to the background service. The changes address the stated stale-lock and startup-delay goals, but the lock-file migration and loss of stream fallback need attention.

• Adds private, atomic session-cache writes and explicit missing-channel validation.
• Changes stream probing, playback-state locking, metadata startup, and polling cadence.
• Restricts the declared platform to Linux and updates localisation and publication documentation.
