kryten-webqueue 0.4.4

Netflix/Tubi-style catalog browser and pay-to-play queue management for CyTube

kryten-webqueue

Netflix/Tubi-style catalog browser and pay-to-play queue management for CyTube.

Architecture

Browser → nginx (queue.dropsugar.co) → kryten-webqueue (:2010) → kryten-api-gate (:24444) → NATS services

• HTTP-only — webqueue never touches NATS directly
• SQLite for all local state (catalog, OTPs, queue shadow, playlists, schedules)
• WebSocket for real-time queue updates
• Polling api-gate every 3 seconds for playlist state
