During February 2026, Chickentornado focused on enhancing the stability and performance of audio playback in the xbmc/xbmc repository. Working primarily in C++, they addressed complex issues in the audio engine related to tempo-aware seeking, implementing robust fixes to prevent deadlocks, stalls, and ghost packets during fast-forward and rewind operations. Their debugging and performance optimization efforts targeted the ActiveAE audio engine, refining buffer duration calculations and improving synchronization accuracy. By resetting internal state and refining timeout logic, Chickentornado ensured more reliable audio playback under non-standard tempo conditions. This work demonstrated depth in audio processing and video player development within a large codebase.
