- scrollWidth/scrollHeight returns the whole 1920x1080 canvas for widgets whose body/background
spans it, so the crop kept massive transparent margins and the content floated in the Fill box.
- ContentBoundsScript now unions every visible element's getBoundingClientRect, excluding elements
that span >=98% of the viewport (bodies, full-canvas background layers); full-bleed widgets fall
back to the full rect. Crop taken AT the rect's top-left (l,t) — content pins to bitmap (0,0).
- Web Image explicitly Margin=0 + Left/Top alignment so the frame and widget coincide at the origin.
- Canvas-size render untouched.
- ContentBoundsScript back to scrollWidth/scrollHeight extents, kept as a real JS object
(the JSON.stringify double-encode bug that silently disabled the crop stays fixed).
- Crop again from (0,0), no X/Y offset. The union-of-elements approach (582d1f4) created an
all-sides gap by including invisible full-canvas wrappers; revert to the proven code.
- QueryContentBoundsAsync now returns a real JS object (not JSON.stringify — ExecuteScriptAsync
double-encodes strings, which silently killed the old crop) and measures the union of every
visible body element's getBoundingClientRect: the widget's actual rect, top-left offset included.
- CaptureFrame crops AT that offset (x,y) instead of from (0,0), so the widget anchors at origin
and the box is flush on right/bottom. Fill maps the frame flush under the box.
Bundle exception (2026-08-27): this lands prior-session work plus today's
transparency fix as one commit per creator instruction.
WebView2Manager (new): off-screen WebView2 control parked at -5000/-5000 in
the window's visual tree, captures via CapturePreviewAsync every 100 ms into
a BGRA8 VideoFrame. Source Width/Height sync to the control via
PropertyChanged. JS transparent-background injection runs on every
NavigationStarting/NavigationCompleted so the page's own CSS does not paint
white over the capture.
Transparency fix: DefaultBackgroundColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent
set on the WPF control before EnsureCoreWebView2Async. The WPF SDK doc says
the value is forwarded to the controller on init; the IDL (ICoreWebView2-
Controller2) confirms alpha=0 makes the capture alpha-preserving. The
prior-session 'CoreWebView2.BackgroundColor' path was the wrong property
name and has been replaced.
LayoutStore: WebUri column added (idempotent ALTER TABLE) and round-tripped
on save/load (schema v11).
MainViewModel: WebView2Manager constructed on Loaded; loaded web sources
re-registered; Source.WebUri PropertyChanged forwards to manager.
MainWindow: off-screen host Canvas added to visual tree.
Tests: 3 scale-sync + WebView2_DefaultBackgroundColor_Is_Transparent +
LayoutStorePersistenceTests.WebSource_WebUri_Persists. 234/236 pass
(2 pre-existing failures unchanged).
Scale bug (DPI/physical-pixel mismatch) still open.
- Source.ShowDesktop bool persisted in DB (schema migration + LayoutStore)
- ClearBackdropCaptureAsync clears CaptureKey + VideoImageSource for static fallback
- Top bar: red/green/pulsing status light, avatar via BitmapImage, Log In button
- ShowStartStream now requires IsConnected
- RunMockChatPreviewAsync: simple async loop, ChatPreviewEnabled property on Source
- EnsureDefaultBackdrop called on every scene switch, seeds all 5 scenes
- SeedEndingBackdrop replaces existing, SeedChatBackdrop added
- SceneCatalog: Chat scene display name corrected (layer = 'YouTube Chat')
- Left panel spacing consistency, context menu reordered
- Border animation rendering via code-behind Storyboard approach
- 3 new backdrop assets (ending-backdrop.jpg, chat-backdrop.jpg, live-backdrop.jpg)
- Build 0 warnings, 178 tests passing
- Elements panel config UI for ChatBox source (font size slider,
font/member/super-chat/background color inputs, max messages slider,
timestamp/badge toggles)
- Schema migration: 8 new ChatBox columns on Source table (ChatFontSize,
ChatFontColor, ChatBackgroundColor, ChatMaxMessages, ChatShowTimestamps,
ChatShowBadges, ChatMemberColor, ChatSuperChatColor)
- Load/save: Source SELECT and INSERT now include all ChatBox fields
- IsElementsPanelEmpty excludes ChatBox so hint doesn't cover config
- ChatBoxRenderer.cs created: WPF FormattedText + RenderTargetBitmap
renderer for on-stream chat overlay
- Slider bindings set to TwoWay for live propagation
- YouTubeStreamService: added GetBroadcastLiveChatIdAsync to fetch liveChatId from broadcast contentDetails
- YouTubeChatService.Poll(): parse snippet.type to handle textMessageEvent, superChatEvent, newSponsorEvent
- MainViewModel: wire _youtubeChat.Start(liveChatId) in PrepareAndStartLiveAsync after broadcast creation
- MainViewModel: wire _youtubeChat.Stop() in StopStream before encoder stop
- MainViewModel: wire _youtubeChat.Dispose() in Shutdown
- MainWindow.xaml: updated chat DataTemplate with member badge (⭐), Super Chat highlight (💰 + gold border), timestamps (HH:mm)
- MainWindow.xaml.cs: auto-scroll ChatListBox on new messages via CollectionChanged
- Chat lifecycle is non-fatal: failures log and the stream continues without on-panel chat
Issue 3: Desktop meter now decays 2.5x faster than it rises
(DecaySmoothing=0.5 vs Smoothing=0.2). When rms drops below current
level the higher alpha pulls the bar down quickly; when audio returns
it rises smoothly. 207 tests pass, 0 warnings.
1. Error text shows in red inside the desktop audio meter bar (scrollable)
when TRAX load or playback fails — user gets feedback, not just a
silent red dot.
2. LoadTrax no longer nulls _music on error — the track path is retained
so the user sees what failed and can retry.
3. OnTraxPlaybackEnded now receives the NAudio exception and surfaces it.
4. TRAX dot is green (playing) or gray (idle/no track) — no more yellow
or red states.
207 tests, 0 warnings.
- Elements scrollbar no longer deselects element on click (check ScrollViewer, not StackPanel)
- Web source: URI + check/revert buttons merged into single DockPanel row, consistent order (✓ rightmost)
- Countdown timer moved from Elements panel to inline in source list row, range clamped to 1-30 min
- Volume slider click-to-position restored: e.Handled prevents IncreaseLarge from overriding position, Thumb drag still works
- Desktop audio meter: asymmetric smoothing (attack 0.2, decay 0.08) for faster response to silence
- 207 tests passing, 0 warnings
- TRAX: LocalGain now applies 0.2× factor so music is quieter relative to desktop audio slider
- TRAX tooltip: switched to ToolTipService with Placement=Top to fix z-order in Viewbox overlay
- Mic meter: MeterLevel multiplied by 1.2× before clamping for ~20% higher visual readout
- Volume sliders: click anywhere on track to jump thumb to that position before dragging
- Backdrop: Image Visibility now binds to BackdropVisible; compositor checks IsVisible before blit
- Renamed 'Backdrop' to 'Game Capture' in EnsureBackdrop + test assertions
IFfmpegLocator seam that resolves ffmpeg.exe (PATH -> cache -> pinned download),
plus the licensing compliance that makes a paid GA product defensible.
NOTE FOR USERS: this change shows NO difference in the app's behavior except a
new top-bar "About" button (opens THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt). It is scaffolding
for the encoder/streaming work.
- Services/Encoder/: IFfmpegLocator + FfmpegLocator. Pin is BtbN lgpl-shared
autobuild-2026-08-09-13-03 (NOT gyan.dev/GPL or static: LGPLv2.1 §6 static
relink material avoided by dynamic linking); extracts ffmpeg.exe + libav*.dll
via a staging dir so a crash never leaves a partial cache
- THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt: LGPL/BSD/MIT notices + source offer, copied to the
build output, surfaced by the About button; v1 gate = bundle full license
texts (TASK 4 requirement 9)
- ai.md "Licensing - do not violate" guardrails (never GPL/nonfree/static/latest-
tag, never link FFmpeg in, never drop notices); TASKS.md + Services/index.md
updated
- Tests: FfmpegLocatorTests - hermetic decision-ladder integration test + shared-
build DLL extraction + edge cases; docs updated (78 tests passing, 0 warnings)
