const audioWs = new WebSocket("ws://localhost:5051/");
audioWs.onmessage = ({ data }) => {
    volumeFill.style.height = `${data}%`;
    updateVolumeIcon(data);
};

// Get media information in real-time
const mediaWs = new WebSocket("ws://localhost:3728/ws/media");
mediaWs.onmessage = (event) => {
    const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
    if (!data.error) {
        setMediaInfo(data.artist, data.title, data.position, data.duration);
    }
};

⚠️ Troubleshooting

🔧 Common Issues and Solutions

1. WebSocket Connection Errors

# Check if services are running
netstat -an | findstr :2837
netstat -an | findstr :3728
netstat -an | findstr :5050
netstat -an | findstr :5051
netstat -an | findstr :5052

2. API Not Responding

• Check that Deck API is active on port 2837
• Check Windows Firewall settings
• Check if antivirus software is blocking the API

3. No Media Information Coming

• Check that a media player is open and running
• Verify that Deck Media API is running on port 3728
• Check that Windows Media Controls are active

4. Slider Not Working

• Check error messages in JavaScript console
• Verify that mouse event listeners are loaded

🐛 Debug Commands

// Paste into console to check connection status
console.log('Audio WS:', audioWs.readyState);
console.log('Brightness WS:', brightnessWs.readyState);  
console.log('Media WS:', mediaWs.readyState);
console.log('Background WS:', backgroundImageWs.readyState);
// readyState: 0=CONNECTING, 1=OPEN, 2=CLOSING, 3=CLOSED

📊 Performance
