What's Changed

🚀 Release Notes: Slatron v1.1.0 - The "Ghost in the Machine" Update

This release brings Slatron to life with autonomous AI hosts, real-time visual monitoring, and a significantly matured scripting engine for advanced automation.

📜 Scripting Engine 2.0

The Rhai scripting engine has received major upgrades, making Slatron more programmable than ever.

• Script Tester: The in-browser script editor now includes a fully functional Test Runner. You can execute scripts with mock arguments and see the output immediately without saving or affecting live playback.
• Content Loader Scripts: You can now write scripts to programmatically find and import content.
  Usecase: Write a script to fetch the latest videos from a YouTube channel or RSS feed.
  Bulk Import: Return a JSON list of items to import them all at once into the Content Library.
• Enhanced API: Improved stability and available functions for transform (metadata modification) and on_load (playback hooks) scripts.

🎙️ AI DJs & Orpheus

We've introduced a first-class AI DJ system capable of hosting your station.

• Orpheus (Local LLM): Support for running fully offline, zero-cost AI DJs using local LLMs (via LM Studio) and the orpheus-3b-0.1-ft model.
• Gemini TTS: Integrated Google's Gemini TTS for high-quality cloud-based voice synthesis.
• Context Injector Scripts: Use Rhai scripts to dynamically inject real-time data (weather, news, server stats) into the DJ's system prompt before they speak.

🎧 Audio & Playback Enhancements

• Audio Ducking: The node now automatically "ducks" (lowers) the volume of music/background content when the DJ starts speaking and restores it smoothly afterwards.
• Reliability Fixes: Resolved a race condition ensuring continuous playback during DJ generation.

📺 Live Monitoring

• Real-time Screenshots: Nodes capture and transmit a screenshot of their playback window every 60 seconds.
• Live Dashboard: The "TVs" grid now displays these live screenshots for at-a-glance monitoring.

🛠️ CI/CD & Platform Support

• Native ML Support: Builds now include the ml-support feature flag by default.
• Cross-Platform Fixes: Resolved cross-compilation issues for Linux ARM64 (Raspberry Pi) and ensured support for macOS Apple Silicon (aarch64-apple-darwin).
