v0.10.0

New Features

Sort by Timecode - Comments are now sorted by timecode by default, making it easier to follow feedback in video order. A toggle lets you switch back to sorting by post date.

Real-Time Folder Refresh - Other users watching the same folder now see newly added videos and folder edits automatically, without needing to refresh the page.

Improvements

• Audio volume setting now persists for the maximum duration instead of expiring after 12 hours
• Added Debian 13 (Trixie) .deb build support

Bug Fixes

• Fixed video playback on Safari (subtitle track and TouchEvent issues, closes #105)
• Fixed thumbnail display on Safari by using JPEG fallback when WEBP is not supported
• Fixed an error when opening very large folders

v0.9.2 (+Deb13 Trixie)

Upgrade instructions for Debian

Before starting the upgraded server, add this line to /etc/clapshot-server.conf:

transcode-decision-script = /usr/share/clapshot-server/scripts/clapshot-transcode-decision

The server will refuse to start otherwise.

New Features

Comment Export - Export comments as EDL (DaVinci Resolve), Premiere Pro XML, CSV, SRT subtitles, and OpenTimelineIO

User-Editable Transcoding Decisions - clapshot-transcode-decision shell script no decides if transcoding is done. Customize it to tell Clapshot which formats need transcoding based on your infrastructure and browser support requirements.

Improvements

• WebM files with AV1, VP8, and VP9 codecs are no longer transcoded by default (modern browsers support these natively)
• Added support for videos on mounted GCP buckets - now handles cross-device operations gracefully (#110)
• Improved WebSocket test stability
