+# Internal Streamer Replacement Design
+
+## Summary
+Replace the external `@dank074/discord-video-stream` dependency with an internal streaming module that uses `discord.js-selfbot-v13` private APIs to deliver the same screen share behavior (video + audio) with identical UI/API surface.
+
+## Goals
+- Maintain feature parity for screen share (video + audio, 720p @ 30fps, bitrate 2500/4000, H264, audio on).
+- Keep existing UI and API contracts unchanged (`/api/media/queue` with `mode: "screen"`).
+- Remove `@dank074/discord-video-stream` from dependencies and delete `vendor/Discord-video-stream`.
+- Ensure clean lifecycle handling (start/stop, cleanup, error reporting).
+
+## Non-Goals
+- Rewriting WebRTC/RTP stack from scratch.
+- Changing media queue behavior or UI layout.
+- Adding new screen share modes or settings.
+
+## Architecture Overview
+Introduce a new internal module under `src/streaming/` that encapsulates:
+- Voice/session management using private `discord.js-selfbot-v13` APIs.
+- FFmpeg preparation for H264 + Opus (AnnexB video + Opus audio).
+- Stream playback into the internal dispatcher.
+
+`screenShareController` will depend on this module instead of `@dank074/discord-video-stream`.
+
+## Components
+
+### 1) Streaming Session Module (`src/streaming/`)
+Proposed exports:
+- `createStreamSession(client)`
+  - Joins or reuses voice connection for video streaming.
+  - Exposes a `session` object with `startVideo()`, `stopVideo()`, and `sendStream(stream)` hooks.
+- `prepareFfmpegStream(source, opts)`
+  - Spawns ffmpeg with the same parameters used today.
+  - Returns `{ command, output }` (output is a Readable stream).
+- `playPreparedStream(output, session)`
+  - Pipes the prepared stream into the internal dispatcher.
+  - Returns a promise that resolves when playback completes.
+
+### 2) Screen Share Controller (`src/media/screenShareController.ts`)
+- Replace Streamer/prepareStream/playStream with internal module usage.
+- Keep the public API identical (`start(source)` returning `ScreenSharePlayback`).
+
+### 3) Web Server Wiring (`src/webserver.ts`)
+- Remove `Streamer` instantiation and dependencies.
+- Pass only `getVoiceStatus` and new streaming module dependencies into `createScreenShareController`.
+
+## Data Flow
+1. User queues screen share via `/api/media/queue` with `mode: "screen"`.
+2. `MediaController` calls `screenShareController.start(source)`.
+3. `screenShareController` resolves URL, calls `prepareFfmpegStream`.
+4. `createStreamSession` ensures voice connection and dispatcher ready.
+5. `playPreparedStream` sends output to Discord.
+6. On completion or stop, cleanup runs and state updates propagate.
+
+## Error Handling
+- Voice not connected: throw `VOICE_NOT_CONNECTED`.
+- FFmpeg spawn/exit failure: throw `SCREEN_STREAM_FAILED`.
+- Dispatcher error: stop stream, cleanup, log error, set state idle.
+
+## Lifecycle Rules
+- `start()` always stops any active stream first.
+- `stop()` kills ffmpeg, stops dispatcher, and resets internal state.
+- Completion resolves `done` promise and triggers cleanup.
+
+## Testing Strategy
+- Unit tests for `screenShareController`:
+  - Calls to `prepareFfmpegStream` and `playPreparedStream` on `start()`.
+  - Ensures `stop()` kills ffmpeg and ends session.
+- Unit tests for `streaming` module:
+  - Session initialization and cleanup logic with mocked private APIs.
+
+## Migration Steps
+1. Implement `src/streaming/` module.
+2. Update `screenShareController` to use internal module.
+3. Remove `@dank074/discord-video-stream` imports and wiring.
+4. Delete `vendor/Discord-video-stream` directory.
+5. Update `package.json` dependencies.
+6. Update tests.
+
+## Risks
+- Private `discord.js-selfbot-v13` APIs may change.
+- Harder debugging if internal dispatcher behavior differs.
+
+## Rollback Plan
+- Revert to previous commit that restores `@dank074/discord-video-stream` and the vendor directory.
