Worked on the music-assistant/server repository to deliver a DASH Manifest Route Serving feature aimed at improving playback reliability for Tidal streaming. The solution involved implementing HTTP-based dynamic registration of manifest routes, allowing for more robust handling of DASH manifests during playback. By serving manifests as HTTP routes, the developer addressed playback stuttering issues, particularly during seeks and transitions, resulting in smoother user experiences. The work required focused integration and code changes, with careful attention to performance and reliability. Leveraging Python for backend and API development, as well as expertise in streaming protocols, the developer contributed a targeted and technically sound feature.
