Subscribing or unsubscribing, locally or via iCloud, only posted a
notification, so the cached feed stayed valid and Yattee Server never
received the new channel list until the cache expired. Invalidate the
feed cache on every subscription add and removal, and skip the disk
write when it is already stale.
watchEntriesMap() built its dictionary with uniqueKeysWithValues, but the
same video ID can be recorded under more than one source scope, which
trapped on the duplicate key (3 crash logs from build 270, all in
SearchView.loadWatchEntries). Keep the most recent entry instead.
The subscription metadata map in Manage Channels had the same shape (a
channel subscribed under several account scopes), as did the server
history hydration map; both now tolerate duplicates.
Delete declarations that Periphery reports unused on every platform that
compiles them (iOS, macOS, tvOS), including nine views used only by their
own previews. Platform-gated code still used on another platform, device-
only MPV render paths, migration models, CloudKit record names, App
Intents metadata and unused parameters are kept.
Route YouTube search results links to search and nocookie embeds to the
video, match YouTube hosts exactly, and report YouTube pages without a
video as unsupported instead of sending them to yt-dlp. A watch link
inside a playlist shows both the video and the playlist when loaded, and
plays the video with the playlist queued around it. URL scheme play,
queue and bookmark actions accept playlist links.
On tvOS SwiftData keeps the store in the app group's Library/Caches,
which the system may purge. The CKSyncEngine tokens live in UserDefaults
and survive, so the next launch opened an empty store and fetched only
records changed since the old tokens; subscriptions and bookmarks that
had not changed since never came back.
DataManager now records whether the store file existed when the
container opened, and the sync engine clears its persisted state once
per launch when it did not, so the first sync after a loss is a full
fetch. Also log the store path and a persistent-store failure that
previously fell back to in-memory storage silently.
Extracted media-source video IDs are full file paths, so closing a
long-named WebDAV video built a watch record name longer than 255
characters and CKRecord.ID threw a fatal CKException.
Scoped record names now fall back to a SHA-256 digest of the ID when
the verbatim form would exceed the limit. The sync engine's local
lookups for materializing pending saves and applying remote deletions
recognise the digest form and match it against all entities of that
type instead of the indexed ID lookup. Short IDs keep their existing
names, so records already in iCloud are unaffected.
MAC6: a snapshot mutation carries its video count back to the list cache.
MAC8: playlist rows and cards are Buttons with the context menu attached,
so macOS accessibility can reach Edit and Delete.
MAC10: a published date stamped with the request's own time is dropped at
both API sentinels, and formattedPublishedDate refuses zero-interval output.
MAC11: a failed history hydration shows Details unavailable with a Try
Again action instead of keeping the raw video ID forever; an empty 200
body is a legible failure.
The previous fix rebuilt the quality chain when converting persisted
models back to videos, but many consumers discarded it again by
rendering bestThumbnail (usually a maxresdefault.jpg that 404s for
older videos) as a single URL with no fallback.
Extract the retry logic from VideoThumbnailView into FallbackLazyImage
and use it at every in-app site that can iterate: player thumbnails
(mini bar, expanded sheet loaders, autoplay previews, tvOS audio-mode
artwork - previously a silent black screen), video info card and tvOS
header, and the tvOS playlist cover.
Sites that fetch or send exactly one URL are rewritten to the
always-available hqdefault variant via Thumbnail.reliableURL (exposed
as Video.reliableThumbnailURL): Now Playing artwork, Top Shelf
snapshots, remote control state, the frozen transition thumbnail,
blurred info background, navigation covers, and playlist covers
derived from a video's first thumbnail in Invidious/Yattee Server
responses.
Also invert RecentPlaylist's upgrade helper, which rewrote covers *to*
maxresdefault, walk the quality chain when caching download thumbnails
for offline artwork instead of giving up after one 404, and expand the
remaining single-thumbnail Piped conversions into full chains.
Persistence models (local playlists, watch history, bookmarks,
downloads) store only the best advertised thumbnail URL - usually
maxresdefault.jpg, which doesn't exist for many older videos and 404s.
Live API results survive this because views fall back through the full
quality chain, but toVideo() rebuilt videos with that single dead URL,
leaving placeholder covers.
Reconstruct the quality fallback chain from the stored YouTube-style
URL at read time (Thumbnail.fallbackChain), and rewrite playlist list
covers to the always-available hqdefault variant
(Thumbnail.reliableURL), since those views render a single URL without
fallback. Also expand the fabricated maxres URL in PipedAPI into a
full chain.
With "Partially Watched Videos" set to Ask, opening a live stream showed
the resume sheet with a playback timestamp. A live position is relative
to the live edge, not a fixed timeline, so it is meaningless as a
playhead.
Live views are still recorded in history, but carry no resume position:
- WatchEntry gains a persisted isLive flag plus recordLiveWatch(), which
stores no position and clears state a drifting HLS duration may have
left behind. progress is always 0 and toVideo() propagates the flag so
history rows render the LIVE badge.
- from(video:) clamps duration, keeping Piped's -1 live sentinel out of
storage.
- DataManager routes live saves through recordLiveWatch() and clears the
flag on the non-live path (before updateProgress, so the auto-finish
check is not suppressed by the hard-0 live progress), letting an entry
heal once the stream becomes a VOD.
- PlayerService skips completion saves, always starts at the live edge,
and drops any startTime passed for a live video.
- The resume prompt, the "Continue at" button label, thumbnail progress
bars, "X remaining", Continue Watching and tvOS Top Shelf all exclude
live entries.
- CloudKit syncs isLive with the rest of the watch state: the conflict
resolver carries it with watchedSeconds/isFinished and the sync engine
applies it when merging into an existing entry. It is read leniently,
so the schema version stays at 2 and older clients keep parsing these
records.
When an Invidious/Piped account is active, several views read the local
SwiftData subscription store instead of the account, so counts
contradicted each other (Home tile said 10 while the Channels list
showed the server's 2):
- Home Channels tile now uses the provider's count via new
SubscriptionService.cachedSubscriptionCount (fetched once in the
background when the server cache isn't populated yet)
- Export footer and export content use the active account's list;
export runs async with a spinner and surfaces fetch errors as a toast
- CSV/OPML import routes through SubscriptionService.importSubscriptions,
subscribing on the server for server accounts instead of silently
writing to the invisible local store
- ChannelView subscribe-state is corrected via the provider after the
optimistic local-store read; unused *Sync write helpers removed
- Server-account subscribe/unsubscribe/import now post
subscriptionsDidChange so other views refresh
- New "Delete Local Subscription Data" section in Subscriptions
settings (visible with a server account) clears the local store and
queues CloudKit deletions so iCloud doesn't restore it
CloudKit record names carry a source scope suffix so the same channel
or video ID can exist under different sources, but the apply path
matched local entities by bare ID: incoming records could merge into an
entity from a different scope, and a remote deletion of one scope
deleted every local entity with that ID and cascaded scoped deletions
for all other scopes back to CloudKit.
- Match local entities on the full mapper-derived record name when
merging incoming records, materializing records for upload, and
applying remote deletions.
- Remote deletions now remove only the matching entity and no longer
queue CloudKit deletions (no echo, no cross-scope cascade).
- Insert dedupe for CloudKit-applied records is scope-aware, so a
same-ID record from a different source inserts instead of being
silently dropped. Remotely added bookmarks also update the
fast-lookup cache immediately.
- When conflict resolution during a fetch keeps newer local data, the
merge result is queued for upload; previously the server (and other
devices) kept the stale version unless the entity was edited again.
Strict timestamp comparisons prevent re-upload ping-pong between
devices.
Rewrites /vi/ID/{default|mq|hq|sd}default.jpg to maxresdefault.jpg when
saving/updating a recent playlist, so the card shows a sharper image
than the low-res search-result thumbnail.
Surfaces Continue Watching, Recent Feed, and Recent Bookmarks in the
Apple TV Home top shelf when Yattee is focused. Tapping a tile opens
the video via the existing yattee://video/{id} deep link.
- New YatteeTopShelf app extension target (tvOS only). LD_ENTRY_POINT is
overridden to _NSExtensionMain; the tv-app-extension product type
defaults to _TVExtensionMain which is for the pre-tvOS-13 legacy API
and crashes modern TVTopShelfContentProvider subclasses at launch.
- Main app writes per-section JSON snapshots (capped at 10 items each)
to a shared App Group UserDefaults suite after bookmark, watch-history,
and feed-cache changes, plus an initial write on launch.
- Enabled-sections list is mirrored to the same App Group so the
extension can respect the user's selection without touching SwiftData.
- Settings → Top Shelf (tvOS only) lets the user toggle sections.
- Deep link playback shows a loading toast while video details are
fetched, and an error toast if no source is configured.
Post watchHistoryDidChange notification when a new watch entry is inserted
during local playback progress updates (but not on every progress tick).
Reload Home data when switching back to the Home tab and when the Customize
Home sheet is dismissed.
Pending deletes were lost across app restarts because
recoverPersistedPendingChanges() never reconstructed CKRecord.ID
objects from persisted record names. Additionally, incoming iCloud
records for deleted playlists were blindly applied, and orphaned
playlist items in CloudKit would recreate placeholder playlists.
- Rebuild pendingDeletes array from UserDefaults on recovery
- Guard applyRemoteRecord against records pending local deletion
- Skip deferred items whose parent playlist is pending deletion
- Queue all playlist item deletions when deleting a playlist
- Clean up placeholder playlists for pending-delete playlists
