Aion YouTube Advanced: Hub & Suite

Aion YouTube Advanced v1.0.0: integrated visual, audio, playback, layout, privacy and Studio controls.

Aion YouTube Advanced: Hub & Suite is a comprehensive toolkit designed to customize, enhance, and control the YouTube experience from a single hub. It brings visual layers, professional audio processing, playback and quality controls, SponsorBlock tools, themes, player customization, privacy controls, data inspection, automation, custom modules, custom effects, and advanced workflow tools together in one extension. Its internal capability inventory covers more than 100 major capabilities across visual, audio, video, visibility, sponsor, privacy, appearance, data, and platform layers. Quick controls are available from the popup, while detailed settings are managed through Aion Studio. Settings are persistent, modules can be enabled or disabled independently, global system state is separated from tab-scoped state, and the active state can continue when the video changes within the same YouTube tab. VISUAL MEDIA, BACKGROUND, AND PLACEMENT • Use local images, animated GIFs, and videos. • Import PNG, JPEG, WebP, and GIF files. • Use MP4, WebM, and Ogg video sources as visual layers. • Manage built-in media, uploads, and favorites as separate sources. • Favorites system and media library. • Create slideshows from built-in media, uploads, favorites, or mixed sources. • Slideshow transitions and automatic rotation. • Media placement editor with position, width, height, scale, and opacity controls. • Brightness, contrast, saturation, and tint controls. • Save media and placement settings inside profiles. DYNAMIC AMBIENT AND AURA SYSTEM Aion can sample colors from the active video and build a dynamic background around YouTube, or operate with manually selected colors. • Dominant and dual-palette generation from video. • Manual color mode and favorite-color management. • Strength, blur, saturation, brightness, spread, smoothing, and transition controls. • Optional linking between video colors and the tint layer. • Dark-scene and bright-scene protection thresholds. • Letterbox exclusion. • Pause ambient processing when the video is paused or the tab is hidden. • Quality, Balanced, and Efficient performance behavior. • Beat-based animation with speed, depth, and audio sensitivity. • Bass, mid, and treble response. • Four-direction aura controls around the player. • Separate aura, blur, spread, and motion parameters for recommended-video cards. • Independent source reflection, effect reflection, and tint reflection controls. 30 BUILT-IN ATMOSPHERE EFFECTS The built-in Effects Engine includes Snow, Rain, Smoke, Bubbles, Bokeh, Fireflies, Film Grain, Dust, Light Leaks, Embers, Stars, Mist, Drizzle, Leaves, Ash, Aurora, Light Rays, Meteor Shower, Petals, Confetti, Prismatic Light, Water Caustics, Constellation, Neon Grid, Chromatic Orbs, Silk Waves, Electric Arcs, Frost Crystals, Heat Shimmer, and Fire Ribbons. Effects can expose density, scale, opacity, softness, wind, streak, turbulence, glow, warmth, twinkle, rotation, and effect-specific controls, and can respond to video and audio signals. CUSTOM EFFECTS The Custom Effects platform allows you to create and run your own effect definitions inside Aion. Custom effects can use particles, glow, waves, rays, grain, vignette, gradient, blur-field, trail, ring, grid, sprite, mask, distortion, and other supported render structures. Effect parameters can react to audio.bass, audio.mid, audio.treble, audio.rms, audio.peak, video.motion, video.luminance, video.sceneCut, playback.time, playback.progress, and video palette inputs, enabling dynamic effects that react to the content being played instead of acting as static overlays.

Module ready/active/degraded states, runtime connections, and core architecture contracts can be inspected from Studio’s data layer. GLOBAL PROFILES AND AUTOMATION • Full Suite profiles. • Profiles containing only selected modules. • Create, apply, update, duplicate, rename, and delete profiles. • Change only the selected scope when applying a profile. • Preserve existing settings through rollback behavior if profile application fails. • Video-specific profiles. • Automatic profile assignment by channel or video. BACKUP, RESTORE, AND INTEGRITY A backup/restore system is available for supported Aion data including Suite settings, media/favorite references, placements, global profiles, watch statistics, Custom Modules, and Custom Effects. The backup format and data schema are versioned, and supported storage areas and integrity conditions are checked during import. CUSTOM MODULES The Custom Modules platform allows you to create your own modules for Aion Studio. Native Aion UI components include section, card, group, row, grid, tabs, accordion, switch, checkbox, radio, segmented control, select, input, textarea, number, slider/range, color picker, button, icon button, modal, confirm, badge, status, progress, list, table, empty state, alert, and divider. Modules can use Aion UI, storage, event, and runtime contexts, while a separate validator layer checks module definitions before they are loaded. AION STUDIO AND QUICK CONTROL HUB Aion Studio organizes controls into Theme, Audio, Progress, Skins, Video Tools, Player, Privacy & Access, Sponsor, Visibility Controls, Custom Modules, All Data, Video Data, and System Data families. The popup provides quick access for everyday use. Global system state and tab-scoped controls are kept separate. Per-tab state persists independently, and Aion can continue operating when the YouTube video changes within the same tab. An extension action context-menu entry also provides direct access to Aion Studio. LANGUAGE SUPPORT Aion automatically detects YouTube’s display language and changes its own interface accordingly. No separate Aion language selector is required. The runtime language system is configured to cover all 83 YouTube display-language options, with English fallback when a supported package is unavailable. Aion YouTube Advanced: Hub & Suite brings visual design, audio processing, playback, quality control, sponsor management, privacy, data tools, automation, and extensibility together in one Suite.
