The separate comments group (pill mode, author avatars) is gone: comments
are a row in the pages/sections list whose editor holds both options.
Inline-sections hosts list comments as a locked pill row at the bottom;
a foldable iPhone in the corner layout lists real pages, including
comments and queue in the side column.
tvOS has no other route to Settings, so unchecking it in Sidebar settings
locked users out. Treat Settings as a required sidebar item on tvOS; an
already-stored hidden value is ignored because required items bypass the
visibility map.
With nothing to import, the playlists and subscriptions import screens
had no focusable content; only the container's toolbar Done, which is
not a dependable focus target on tvOS.
The toolbar Cancel is iOS/macOS only, so while scanning with no shares
found yet (and when discovery is unavailable) the tvOS sheet had nothing
the remote could focus.
A successful load with no contributors, and the first frame before the
load started, rendered an empty form with nothing focusable, stranding
the tvOS remote.
The toolbar Done is iOS/macOS only, so after the last legacy account or
source was imported or removed the tvOS screen had nothing focusable and
the remote was stuck.
With no accounts the screen showed only a ContentUnavailableView, so the
focus engine had nothing to land on and the remote could not reach the
sidebar again; the app had to be force-quit. Sources is also where an
account is signed in.
Below Previously Played in the queue page settings; off by default, so
the queue page lists history and up next without the playing video.
With it off the page opens scrolled to Up Next.
The section carried its own hinge observer but rendered nothing until a
hinge was reported, so the observer never attached and the section never
appeared. Observe the hinge on the always-present form instead.
iPad and iPhone Duo users can pick Tab Bar instead of Automatic to opt
out of the sidebar layout. Switching rebuilds the navigation Settings
lives in, so the change asks for confirmation and lands on Home first.
PlayerService's toast manager was never set, so stream refresh, missing
download and skip-to-next toasts were silently dropped. Wire it up in
AppEnvironment.
InstancesManager's per-instance status was never written since the v2
rewrite; account statuses already cover rejected and missing credentials
in the sources list, so remove it along with its unreachable row branch.
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.
yattee://play|play-next|queue|download|bookmark|subscribe|unsubscribe?url={link}
and yattee://player/play|pause|toggle|next|previous|close|seek|rate run through
one LinkActionPerformer that reports a LinkActionResult, ready for
x-callback-url. An unencoded url= keeps its own query; only the action's own
parameters end it.
Actions that change saved state ask first through a confirmation sheet
presented by the top-most sheet host, unless the new 'Run Link Actions
Without Asking' setting is on. Download skips the question when the quality
picker will show anyway. Player commands leave sheets and the player alone.
Both were DEBUG-only Developer settings entries used while building
the accounts revamp and are no longer needed. The simulator's
account-sync suspension barrier in AccountSyncCoordinator existed only
to keep invented scopes away from the real zone, so it goes with it.
Error details were declared in the video info view and the expanded
player, and Open Link three times: at the app root for deep links and
for the File menu command, and on Home. All of them are now AppSheets;
the deep link and menu requests go through the global request, so a
deep link that arrives while the player is expanded no longer opens the
sheet behind it.
The four sign-in modals that were a full-screen cover on tvOS and a
sheet elsewhere, each written out twice, use a platformSheet helper.
The sidebar layout was gated on iPad idiom. It now appears wherever there
is room for it: regular width and regular height, or an iPad with
regular width (a short Stage Manager window keeps it). That covers the
Duo inner screen in both orientations, while large iPhones in landscape
and the Duo outer screen keep the tab bar. The subscriptions feed's
channel sidebar follows the same rule, and Sidebar settings are offered
on devices with a hinge.
SwiftUI's sidebarAdaptable TabView never shows a sidebar on iPhone
idiom, so the iOS sidebar layout now uses the NavigationSplitView with a
list sidebar that macOS already used, on iPad as well. The sidebar
layout shows the floating mini player instead of the tab bar accessory.
AVSampleBufferAudioRenderer is the system media path, so it gets Spatial
Audio / Spatialize Stereo and head tracking, which audiounit and coreaudio
output never do. iOS now uses avfoundation,audiounit like tvOS, and all
macOS versions use avfoundation,coreaudio (previously only macOS 27+).
Drop the preset-driven page list on tvOS (related, chapters, queue pages
and the Player Panels settings screen) and restore the segmented
Info/Comments picker, removing the now-unused strings.
The iPhone Duo tabletop layout mirrors every presented frame into the
lower half, blurred and fading out, like a screen standing on a glossy
table. The render view blits a quarter-resolution copy of the display
framebuffer into a ring of IOSurface-backed buffers (no Y flip, so the
surface is already mirrored) and hands it to a CALayer hosted by
MPVReflectionView; the simulator's software renderer feeds the same
layer a flipped CGImage. Off during PiP, for audio-only streams, and
via the new Playback → Foldable → "Reflection Below Video" setting.
The interior display refuses programmatic rotation
(UISceneErrorDomain 101: "The current windowing mode does not allow for
programmatic changes to interface orientation"), so the rotate/fullscreen
button did nothing there and the failure was swallowed.
- OrientationManager tracks `canRotateProgrammatically` (from the hinge
state, cleared when a geometry request is refused) and is @Observable.
- The fullscreen button takes the iPad path when rotation is unavailable:
details toggle in portrait, floating panel toggle in landscape, icon
follows the panel state; orientation lock is hidden. The refused request
itself falls back to the details toggle. Accelerometer-driven rotation
requests are gated the same way.
- Corner layout gate is size-only on iOS (≥900×600 including safe areas,
so the status bar toggling with the layout can't oscillate it); the
layout-mode setting is exposed on foldables via a hinge presence check.
- Corner layout on iPhone always hides the status bar (the interior's
landscape bar is a ~57pt column) and pads by the live top inset only,
instead of the transient 82pt inset seen while unfolding.
- The player hosting controller nudges its safe area after size
transitions so fold/unfold doesn't leave SwiftUI with stale insets.
The toolbar layout on macOS now lists Play, Download, Share, Add to Playlist
and Bookmark as separate toolbar items, with a spacer setting Play apart from
the secondary actions. The primary action picker stays iOS-only, where the
pinned action plus the ⋯ menu layout is kept, and macOS gets its own settings
footer text.
The macOS items are written out explicitly rather than with ForEach: a ForEach
inside the toolbar builder is evaluated once and never re-renders on state
changes, which left the bookmark and download icons stale.
The corner layout's below-video host is the portrait info panel, not a
page host: it can render only Info, plus Comments as the panel's pill on
iOS. The page editor still offered "Below Video" for every page, so
assigning Related there was accepted, stored, listed as such, and then
silently rendered in the side column.
- The Layout section gains a "Below Video" picker in corner mode:
Nothing / Info / Info and Comments (macOS offers the first two). It
writes the info/comments regions; the per-page Location section and
its strings are gone.
- PanelSettings.normalizedPages clamps regions to what the host can
render (only info/comments below, comments only together with info),
so older presets self-correct. effectiveRegion(for:) resolves the
platform-specific placement and is used by both the pages list labels
and CornerPlayerLayout, replacing its own region checks.
- The layout schematic drops the below-video block for "Nothing"; the
corner-mode footer explains the constraint.
- Tests cover the picker round-trip and the clamping.
On iPad both orientations show the video next to a panel, the corner
layout hosts the portrait panel in landscape, and Split View windows make
"portrait" mean "narrow", so the portrait/landscape visibility split never
matched what the user saw. PillVisibility now treats any mode except Never
as visible on iPad, and the pill editor shows a Show pill toggle there
(writes Both/Never, reads synced orientation modes as on). iPhone keeps
the four-way picker.
ExpandedPlayerSheet's bottomPillsOverlay was unreferenced; the floating
panel renders its own pill row.
Pages list
- Info is pinned first and always enabled in every layout: normalized
pages force it to the front and enabled (older presets self-correct),
disabling it is a no-op, and any move that would displace it snaps
back. The iOS/macOS list renders it outside the reorderable ForEach
(no drag handle, nothing drops above it) and the editors hide its
enabled toggle; tvOS also hides its move buttons. The "at least one
page must stay enabled" guard and its strings are gone since Info
always counts.
- iPhone never renders queue or comments as pages, so its Sections list
hides them (PanelSettings.hiddenSettingsPageTypes). Reordering goes
through moveVisiblePages, which keeps hidden entries in their stored
slots. Comments get their own group on the Details Panel screen
(pill mode + avatars) and the overlay hosts pass the avatars flag.
Default visibility
- "When Player Opens" is now configured per orientation
(portraitDefaultVisibility / landscapeDefaultVisibility). The legacy
single value is still decoded and seeds both until set individually;
presets that never set it default to portrait Visible, landscape
Hidden. macOS shows one picker (no portrait layout).
- "Remember Last" no longer leaks across orientations: separate
remembered flags, written by the portrait toggles and by the wide and
corner layouts respectively, with the old shared flag read once as a
fallback. The corner layout seeded from the portrait resolution
before; it now uses landscape.
Section options (iOS inline-sections hosts)
- Chapters and Related editors gain "Expanded by Default" (on by
default). The Info editor gains a Description group with "Expanded by
Default" (off) and a "Collapsed Lines" stepper (1–10, default 3).
Applied when the panel appears and on each video change.
- Expanding a collapsed section scrolls its header to the top of the
panel: PanelPageScrollView can hand its scroll proxy to page content
and each inline section is wrapped in one anchored container.
- The portrait panel's bottom fade sized its touch blocker from a stale
"expanded comments pill" answer that ignored collapse on scroll, so a
collapsed section header (the last item) sat under it and could not
be tapped. The predicate now tracks the pill's actual collapse state.
iPhone landscape now uses the floating panel only, always on the right;
the pin and side-toggle buttons on the grabber are gone and the pinned
setting resolves to false on phone.
iPad and macOS default to the pinned side-by-side layout, keep the pin
button to switch to floating, and pick the panel side in the preset's
panel settings instead of an on-screen arrow. The pinned state persists
as a layout preference: closing the player or the hidden default
visibility no longer resets it.
Removes PanelAlignmentButton, the global floatingDetailsPanelSide setting
and its key, FloatingPanelSide.opposite, and the legacy
wideLayoutPanelAlignment preset field.
iPhone has no page switcher: the portrait panel already rendered one info
page with chapters and related videos as collapsible inline sections. The
landscape floating panel now renders the same panel (no page bar, comments
stay on the pill/overlay), and the settings screen calls the list
"Sections" there, with the page bar labels toggle hidden.
The inline sections were hardcoded to chapters then related and ignored
the configured order, enablement, and thumbnail toggles. The info page now
receives the enabled section pages from PanelSettings.inlineSections(in:)
and renders them in list order with their own settings.
The quality selector sheet already covers quality, audio, subtitles and
rate, so the embedded tracks page duplicated it. Drop the page type, its
per-page settings, the editor toggles, and the visibleSections plumbing
in QualitySelectorView.
The pill mode now lives on CommentsPageSettings and is edited in the
comments page editor instead of a standalone settings section. The
legacy value on PlayerPillSettings is kept for decoding old presets
and migrated by effectivePanelSettings. Comments are loaded when
either the comments page is enabled or the pill is not disabled.
Phase 5 of the player panels redesign:
- Per-page element toggles now rendered and editable for every page:
comments (author avatars), related (thumbnails), chapters (thumbnails),
queue (previously played section), tracks (video/audio/subtitles/speed
sections)
- Page bar labels toggle (icons-only bar shows the selected page's name)
- Layout mode schematic diagram in the details panel settings
- NEW badge machinery for future page types (versionAdded on PanelPageType)
- Typed per-page settings accessors on PanelPageConfiguration and VM update
helpers for each page kind
- Unit tests for per-page settings round-trip and accessor fallbacks
The standalone quality selector sheet is unaffected: section gating defaults
to everything visible and only the embedded tracks page passes preset
settings through.
TVDetailsPanel now renders the active tvOS preset's panel pages (info,
comments, related, chapters, queue; tracks stays with the quality panel)
with runtime hiding of empty pages, a segmented picker for up to four
pages and a focusable capsule row above that, and Info element toggles
honored. Comments unify on the PlayerState loader; the tvOS queue list
is extracted from QueueManagementSheet into TVQueueListView and reused
as the queue page. New related/chapters focus-based pages: selecting a
related video plays it and dismisses the panel, chapters seek and keep
the panel open.
New minimal Settings > Player Panels screen edits the active tvOS
preset via the existing service: duplicate-to-edit, page toggles with
last-page guard, Move Up/Down reordering, and Info element toggles.
Preset-selected two-region layout: video in the top-left, a resizable
side column, and an optional region below the video. Pages are assigned
to regions per preset (Location picker in the page editor); the layout
falls back to the stacked widescreen layout below 900pt width, so Split
View and narrow windows degrade automatically.
- CornerPlayerLayout hosts the shared playerAreaForWidescreen builder,
so the MPV hosting path is identical to the stacked layout
- Layout resolver in ExpandedPlayerSheet picks corner per layout pass;
NavigationCoordinator.isCornerLayoutActive feeds the macOS window
manager, which drops the aspect-ratio lock and auto-fit while corner
is active (and restores them on exit, incl. fullscreen replay and
window re-mounts)
- Side column width persisted via new cornerPanelColumnWidth setting
(280-560pt, video column kept >= 480pt)
- Settings: layout mode picker (iPad/macOS) with automatic-fallback
footer, per-page region picker when corner is on, region shown in
the pages list
Phase 2 of the player panels redesign:
- New "Details Panel" screen in Player Controls settings: page
reorder/enable list with per-page editor (info element toggles),
and a default panel visibility picker (hidden/visible/remember).
- PlayerControlsSettingsViewModel gains panelSettings bindings with
the usual debounced-save flow; the last enabled page cannot be
disabled.
- Built-in presets bumped to v9 with explicit default panelSettings.
- The preset's default visibility now drives the wide-layout panel
on player open and on entering landscape, replacing the hard
hidden resets; "remember" restores the new detailsPanelLastVisible
setting recorded on user toggles. Applied once per expanded player
session (flag on NavigationCoordinator survives re-mounts).
- WideScreenPlayerLayout picks up external visibility writes so the
async-loaded default reaches the mounted layout.
- Unit tests for PanelSettings Codable compatibility (round-trip,
old JSON, unknown page types/discriminators/enum values); removed
stale PlayerInfoTab tests left from Phase 1.
Layout & Navigation gains a Video Info section on iOS/macOS: the actions
(Play, Download, Share, Add to Playlist, Bookmark) can stay as inline
button rows or move to the navigation bar, where the chosen primary
action is pinned and the rest live in an ellipsis menu. The toolbar
layout with Download pinned is the new default, since the hero thumbnail
already plays the video on tap; a one-time TipKit popover on the
thumbnail points that out. tvOS keeps the existing button layout.
An inactive account keeps its credential and syncs like a rename, but
drops out of every picker and cannot be used until activated again.
Deactivating the selected account switches to the local context as a
published choice, so other devices follow instead of falling back.
tvOS full screen covers are transparent, so each one filled itself with
a hardcoded black — invisible black-on-black text under the light color
scheme (e.g. the View All Comments page). A shared
tvFullScreenCoverBackground() modifier now picks black or light gray
from the color scheme; applied to the comments cover, subscription
destination picker, instance login, edit source, iCloud progress, and
legacy accounts import covers.
When enabled (the default), share links to YouTube videos point to the
active source's web watch page instead of youtube.com. Invidious serves
its frontend at the API URL; Piped uses its configured frontend URL.
Videos the active source can't serve (PeerTube, extracted sources) and
sources without a web frontend keep their original links.
The toggle lives in Settings > Layout & Navigation > Sharing on iOS and
macOS, and is shown only when an enabled source has a web watch page.
ImportSubscriptionsView wrote every imported channel straight into the
local SwiftData store via dataManager.subscribe(to:), regardless of the
selected account context. Imports now go through
SubscriptionService.subscribe(to:in:) aimed at a destination the user
picks — the local store or any logged-in account that supports
subscriptions, minus the source instance's own account, the same roster
the subscribe menus offer.
The already-subscribed marks are asked per destination through a new
SubscriptionService.subscribedChannelIDs(in:) helper (cold server
destinations fetch their list once, generation-fenced like the other
reads) and reload when the destination changes. Individual adds show a
per-row spinner while the server write is in flight, alreadySubscribed
counts as success, and Add All runs serially with an added/failed tally.
Also drop the "Invidious" wording from the import empty state — the
view serves Piped sources too.
Each account was four focusable rows tall on tvOS — Use this account,
Sign in again, Rename and Sign out all spelled out as siblings, a lot
of clicking past on a remote. The row itself is now the one focusable
unit: pressing it raises the same actions as a confirmation dialog,
mirroring the context menu the other platforms already attach.
The main settings list carried both an Accounts row and a switcher row
beside it — two account controls at the top level, one of them opening
the screen the other belonged on. The switcher row moves to the top of
the accounts screen as a Current Account section, where the selection
it names sits directly above the checkmarked row it corresponds to.
The subscriptions-settings row and the macOS sidebar footer keep
theirs: those are contextual surfaces, not the settings list.
MAC2/MAC15: the macOS login form is grouped like its Edit Source parent, so
labels sit inside the sheet and the add-flow step stops clipping; footers
wrap instead of truncating.
MAC12: the account section footer consults account statuses before claiming
the user is logged in.
MAC1: switcher rows are Toggles on macOS so the checkmark really renders,
and the settings row names its context via LabeledContent with a tooltip.
MAC4: accessible names are words, never raw SF Symbol identifiers.
MAC14: new displayStatus(for:) surfaces instanceDisabled on account rows,
badges, and the switcher tooltip without disturbing status(for:) consumers.
MAC16: disambiguated labels guard the username branch and fall back to the
source name only when rows would still collide.
Also carries the new Localizable strings for the whole macOS fix batch.
