Capabilities

  • Downloads: libcurl thread-per-download engine with resume support, progress callbacks, pause/cancel.
  • Audio playback: GStreamer playbin pipeline with EOS/error/state-change handling.
  • Notification actions: Event channel for prev/next/play/pause/stop actions.
  • Persistence: SQLite 3-table schema (downloads, audio_track, config) with auto-resume.
  • Notifications: libnotify download complete/failed alerts.
