Narrator’s Jukebox 4.2.1 is now available

This update is focused on a few important fixes reported by users playing on hosted Foundry worlds.

• First, music files uploaded through hosting services like The Forge should now play correctly again. Some users could start a track, see the player reacting, but hear no sound. The file was technically playing, but the browser was blocking the audio because of how the hosted file was being handled. That path has been adjusted, so uploaded music should now behave normally.

• I also made YouTube playback more reliable on hosted worlds. A few users reported that YouTube tracks looked like they were playing, with the bars moving, but no sound came through. Narrator’s Jukebox now handles embedded YouTube players more carefully, makes sure they are not left muted by the browser, and gives clearer feedback if the host or browser blocks autoplay.

• There is also a quality of life change for volume control. Music volume and ambience master volume are now local listening controls. This means the GM changing their own volume will no longer force the same volume on every player. The GM still controls the ambience mix itself, like making Rain quieter than Thunder, but each player can decide how loud they want to hear that mix on their own setup.

Thank you to everyone who reported these issues and helped test the fixes. These reports make the module better for every table. ❤️
