Mist Live
Changelog

Hello there!

Hello there, ichigoleite here, and this is the Mist Live changelog for September 5th, 2026!

This covers some of the updates we’ve done to the the service, including some requested changes to the video player!

Blog

  • The blog has been slightly redesigned to look a bit more stylish.
  • Images now take up 100% of the width of the blog.
  • You can now embed the blog.
  • The blog should properly be resized on resolutions under 1280px.

Channels

  • Updates to the channels codebase.
  • Add Blog Embed to the sources element.

Explore

  • Currently Playing (for the channel rows) should now update every 2 minutes.
  • Descriptions should now have accurate font weight - before, everything was in bold.

Home

  • Ads should now automatically scroll.

Layout

  • If your screen size is under 480px, the header will use a shortened version of the mobile header.

Portal

  • The portal video player should now be fixed.

Streaming Server/MistServer

  • CMAF should be somewhat fixed. The reason we haven’t actually used it is because it’s slow and unreliable at the moment - and it is out of our hands, as this is currently an issue with MistServer itself.
  • It is now more apparent that the filter button is in fact, the filter button. (Changed from a filter icon to text that just says “Filter”.)
  • The filter button should match the search button a bit more better.

Video Player

  • The video player now has a throbber (strange word, eh?)/loading icon. This uses Misty, our mascot! This was added because it would confusing if the video was somehow paused, your computer was frozen, or if the video was just loading.
  • Currently Playing now updates every minute.
  • If supported by the channel, you can now select subtitles!
  • The player should prevent your device from sleeping via the Wake Lock API.
  • Fullscreen icon should toggle correctly - before it would be stuck on the “currently fullscreen” state after you exit fullscreen mode.
  • mpegts.js (what we use to read stream data) should now be processed by Astro.js, allowing for it to be optimized for size.
  • The “Click to unmute” screen has been removed since sometimes you probably DON’T want to unmute the video player when loading it.
  • Borders will not reapply when exiting fullscreen on the embedded player.
  • Updates to the video player codebase.
