Telemetry deck
Most skins decorate. AURA reports: the live rendition, the real stream bitrate, seconds of buffer ahead, dropped frames and a network estimate — refreshed twice a second from the actual HLS engine, with a scrolling graph.
The stream could not be loaded.

Ambient glow
The halo behind the player is sampled from the playing frame itself, five times a second. The halo takes the scene's own colour, whatever it is: a bright meadow glows green-gold, a shadowed scene settles into its own dark tones. The skin literally wears the scene it is playing.
Chapter cinema
Nine authored chapters segment the seek bar. Hover and you get a live frame preview of where you are about to land, the chapter name, and one-key jumps with [ and ].
Caption studio
Captions are a design surface here: size, colour and background opacity restyle the live cue stream instantly. Big Buck Bunny is a dialogue-free film, so AURA ships honest descriptive (SDH-style) captions for it.
Four contexts, one skin
Cinema for the big screen, Portrait with a real 9:16 crop and a frame-position control, Audio when only the sound matters, and TV with oversized targets and strong focus rings. Same player, four bodies.
Real quality menu
The quality list is not drawn — it is read from the stream: every HLS rendition of Big Buck Bunny, from 184p to 1080p, with its true bitrate. Pick one and the engine locks to it; pick Auto and it adapts.
