Playbin — Release Notes

v1.3.0 — Architectural Refactor

Monolith split into layered modules

Architecture

• Extracted MPVEngine (engine.py) — owns mpv process lifecycle and Unix IPC socket
• Extracted Resolver (resolver.py) — isolated yt-dlp subprocess and URL parsing
• Introduced Player (player.py) — orchestration layer wiring resolver → engine, owns playback state
• Extracted UI (ui.py) — pure Tkinter view, communicates only through Player interface
• Added main.py as clean entry point: Player → UI → run()

Experimental (not wired up)

• Audio_Processing class + ffmpeg→numpy pipeline in engine.py real-time audio spectrum scaffolding, not connected to UI
