Release Notes - StreamTray v3.0.0 🚀

StreamTray v3.0.0 brings a major overhaul to the user experience, backend performance, and deployment flexibility. This release marks the transition from a prototype to a polished, production-ready desktop tool.

🚀 New Features

Custom Stream Naming

  • Friendly Names: You can now assign custom names (e.g., "Front Door", "Garage") to your streams instead of relying solely on the RTSP URL.
  • Database Integrated: Names are persisted in the local SQLite database.
  • UI & API Support: Full support added to the Dashboard and REST API (GET, POST, PUT).

Enhanced Dashboard

  • Modern UI Polish: Added custom dark-themed scrollbars to match the application aesthetic.
  • Custom Modals: Replaced native browser alerts with sleek, non-blocking custom modals for "Delete" confirmations.
  • Improved List View: Table layout fixed to correctly align 4 columns (ID, Name, URL, Actions).
  • Embedded API Docs: The "API Docs" panel now accurately reflects the new scheme and is legally styled.

📦 macOS Packaging

  • Native .app Bundle: Full support for building a standalone StreamTray.app on macOS using PyInstaller.
  • Persistent Storage: Data directory logic updated to correctly use ~/Library/Application Support/StreamTray when running as a packaged app, ensuring data persistence and compliance with macOS standards.

⚡ Performance & Backend

  • Centralized MJPEG Encoding: Refactored the CameraWorker to encode JPEG frames centrally once per captured frame.
  • Optimized Bandwidth: Multiple clients viewing the same stream now share the same encoded bytes, significantly reducing CPU usage and latency.
  • Robustness: Improved error handling and database migration scripts to automatically upgrade the schema.

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Fixed OSError: [Errno 48] port conflicts during restart.
  • Fixed layout misalignment in the stream list table.
  • Fixed missing name input field preventing stream editing in some scenarios.
  • Fixed outdated API documentation text in the frontend.

  • Verbose logging (--debug) and tray notifications

  • Self-contained PyInstaller build (Windows one-file EXE)
