Project Heartbeat 0.2.0 is here, with new fixes and some interesting new features. NEW FEATURES

Video playback

Project Heartbeat now supports using videos as backgrounds for your songs, with this come a new plethora of options to make life easier and adjust it to your likings, and some video download improvements make this easy to manage. The new options allow you to disable video entirely, only for PPD songs, disable the visualizer when a video is playing or even set the resolution and FPS of the video downloads. Currently only h264/av1 is supported.

Video download changes

The very smart people looking at the game's internals might have realized that Project Heartbeat downloads videos together with songs, this was originally due to the simplistic way in how the video download worked. Among some of the changes, the download code will now check if the files exist and ask you to download them if they aren't, this means that if you disable video downloading, download a song (which will only download audio) you can then enable video again and it will ask you to download the video. Same goes for missing video/audio files. All this means that you will have to download your videos again (but you won't have to enter the URL again for PPD songs).

Work in progress features

One of the things I am currently working on is Steam workshop integration, this should be interesting to see.
