Hey all!
It hasn't been too long since the last update but we've grown like crazy.
In just the last month alone, we hit over 1000 additional downloads and had some big servers join the network (like Imagine Fun and a few festivals).

With this enormous load, we had to upscale our server infrastructure which is now ludicrously expensive and big for a small hobby project but it's required to keep the service running for free. If you love the project please consider donating at http://donate.craftmend.com/ or leaving a positive review (here on the spigot page)

This update fixes a few issues that were caused by the upscaling of our backend, fixing issues with media that refused to play, packet loss or the plugin being unable to connect to the backend at all (known in the community as the Assigning stuck bug) and a few minor bugs and hints towards new users who don't understand bungeecord. (some users also reported issues with manually started sounds, those are also fixed)

I also polished some things up making speakers smoother, connecting faster (loading settings and playing the start sound) and updating regions & speakers instantly when teleporting.

I'm currently working on another large update (6.2) with some big feature requests and enhancements and keeping the project running.

If you wish to keep up-to-date with development and planned maintenance, join the Discord or follow me on twitter since I often share progress updates and announcements there.

Thank you for choosing OpenAudioMc!
Happy listening.
