From 6729e98faefaefd345c5b7eda67bef78a75b4e36 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stu Leak Date: Wed, 24 Dec 2025 01:44:08 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Add player robustness improvements and A/V sync logging MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Improvements: 1. Track audio active state with atomic.Bool flag 2. Handle videos without audio track gracefully - If audio fails to start, video plays at natural frame rate - Clear error messages indicate "video-only playback" 3. Better A/V sync logging for debugging - Log when video ahead/behind and actions taken - Log good sync status periodically (every ~6 seconds at 30fps) - More granular logging for different sync states 4. Proper cleanup when audio stream ends or fails How it works: - audioActive flag set to true when audio starts successfully - Set to false when audio fails to start or ends - Video checks audioActive before syncing to audio clock - If no audio: video just paces at natural frame rate (no sync) - If audio active: full A/V sync with adaptive timing Expected improvements: - Video-only files (GIFs, silent videos) play smoothly - Better debugging info for sync quality - Graceful degradation when audio missing 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 --- main.go | 94 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------------------------- 1 file changed, 52 insertions(+), 42 deletions(-) diff --git a/main.go b/main.go index a69fafe..2e5be4d 100644 --- a/main.go +++ b/main.go @@ -9288,52 +9288,57 @@ func (p *playSession) runVideo(offset float64) { return } - // Sync video to audio master clock + // Sync video to audio master clock (if audio is active) videoFrameTime := offset + (float64(p.frameN) / p.fps) p.videoTime = videoFrameTime - // Get audio clock time - var audioClockTime float64 - if audioTimeVal := p.audioTime.Load();
