JamulusPlus by AndyMcProducer · Pull Request #3689 · jamulussoftware/jamulus

AndyMcProducer · 2026-05-14T15:01:49Z

Short description of changes

Adds JamulusPlus, a JUCE/VST-based Jamulus fork/variant with an alternate plugin-style UI and extended client-side features. This includes a separate resizable settings window, chat stability fixes, clickable chat links, VDO.Ninja room launch from the connected server name, upload bandwidth display, jitter handling fixes, and optional local auto-translation for incoming chat.

CHANGELOG: SKIP

Context: Fixes an issue?

Context: This Pull Request proposes an experimental Jamulus-based variant aimed at plugin-oriented workflows and expanded UI/chat functionality. It does not directly fix a single upstream issue and is better understood as a feature branch proposal for discussion and review.

Does this change need documentation? What needs to be documented and how?

Yes. If this approach is accepted, the following would need documentation:

what JamulusPlus is and how it differs from the standard Jamulus client
how to build it, including JUCE/VST-related dependencies and the JUCE submodule
how the separate settings window works
how chat auto-translation works and that translations are local-only
how VDO.Ninja room launch works from the connected server name/address
any platform or plugin-host limitations

This would likely require both developer/build documentation and user-facing documentation on the website if the feature is accepted upstream.

Status of this Pull Request

Working implementation

What is missing until this pull request can be merged?

maintainer feedback on whether upstream wants to include and maintain a parallel JamulusPlus variant
architectural review of dependency, maintenance, and packaging impact
broader testing across supported platforms and plugin hosts
CI/build validation for all affected targets
documentation
possible breakup into smaller focused PRs if only parts of this work are suitable for upstreaming

wants to include and maintain a parallel JamulusPlus variant

not me at least. But we can obviously benefit a lot from using some changes from it

ann0see · 2026-05-14T19:23:15Z

Adding exe files is a definite nogo on git.

Should I put em as zip's then?

K ann0see I've done that, off out now so have to check when they build when I'm back.

Ah I got ya now, i thought you meant on the relase but maybe that's sneaked on, ill do a further cleanup of it to make sure none of that is there.

No. I think they are downloaded as dependencies in the current version of Jamulus. Adding any kind of binaries is a smell in git for various reasons including security - e.g checkout the XZ vulnerability.

ann0see

Thank you. I'd focus on seeing changes to the current code and work from there on.

Remember this is all your work/s. Most has been pulled and QT stuff converted and I added some extras but I do plan on using AI to attribute things properly it have pulled over or converted.
Reason I wanted to add it as a branch then it's their for all to be able to poke at and change etc between yourselves.
I haven't done a proper test but atm I'm getting to a server 26ms though this one and 33 on current Jamulus.
I've added the jitter etc but doesn't seem to do much on low ping servers as it's low anyway.
Not sure if this is a biproduct of Juce compared to QT.
But mainly if ya pull it in and ya can rip , stuff or change it up to how ya want.
I added a customisable theme system in it too, should be a template folder with skin.cfg with how to's in there.

but anyway I'm not looking to step on toes of even join the main project, just thought this would help you all out
and allow for better tweaks with out being stuck to QT.

It's up to you guys though, the source will always be their to pull form it if ya want, all's cool.
Andy.

ann0see · 2026-05-15T14:29:17Z

Yes. That's all fine but the current state is unfortunately not reviewable as it looks like a totally separate codebase.

AndyMcProducer · 2026-05-15T15:26:58Z

Ok, yeah maybe it leaked on from my local, ill check for any more and link instead.

The whole project sounds interesting and I'd like to see screen shots. This detail is big if true so I'm just amplifying it:

I'm getting to a server 26ms though this one and 33 on current Jamulus.

AndyMcProducer · 2026-05-15T15:50:58Z

I'm on another machien now so ill test it again on here.

Same device and buffer and audio setting. https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ee4db510-c502-4e62-970f-9d0735e4c928 https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f3a98222-8c53-474a-95ae-7488097989c1 Screen shots, didn't let me just add as images added normal html image tags but they never worked.

Thanks for pointing this out, it had not ignored stuff it was meant to. Sorting it now though so it's all sorted. Plus nsis isn't used now inno installer it. So will be a lot cleaner soon. Thank you dude for pointing that out. xx
