The corner layout now always renders the info page as a portrait-style
panel below the video (collapsible description, drag to hide/expand),
while the side column holds tabs for the remaining pages. Key pieces:
- Below-video panel reuses PortraitDetailsPanel (no comments pill,
square corners, chapters/related stay in the side column tabs)
- Drag down hides the panel with the video recentering in lockstep;
swipe up on the video reveals it following the finger
- Fullscreen button toggles the panels in corner layout (controls hide
first so their resize never plays visibly); status bar and home
indicator hide only while the panels are hidden
- Panel visibility and column width are seeded at init from a warmed
PlayerControlsLayout cache, so the first frame resolves corner mode
without flashing the default layout or animating the panels in
- Dismiss pan is blocked inside the below-video panel frame
(cornerBelowPanelFrame in NavigationCoordinator)
- Resize grabber slimmed to match the panel drag handle look
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.
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.
Phase 1 of the player panels redesign:
- New PanelSettings model (pages, regions, layout mode, default
visibility) stored as an optional field on PlayerControlsLayout with
an effectivePanelSettings accessor; lenient Codable so future page
types and settings payloads never corrupt saved presets.
- New Views/Player/Panels content engine: PlayerPanelContentView
renders a page bar plus the selected page (info, comments, related,
chapters, queue, tracks), with runtime hiding of empty pages.
- PortraitDetailsPanel and FloatingDetailsPanel now host the shared
content instead of their duplicated info bodies; drag machinery,
pills, and fades are untouched.
- Comments list extracted into CommentsListContent shared by the
overlay and the comments page; comments pill routes to the comments
page (expanding the portrait panel) when the page is enabled, and
falls back to the overlay when it is not.
- Tracks page embeds QualitySelectorView via a new isEmbedded mode.
- Deleted the unused video info bodies in ExpandedPlayerSheet+VideoInfo
and the dead PlayerInfoTab model.
Phase 0 of the panels redesign, extraction only, no behavior changes:
- Unify comments loading on PlayerState: loadComments/loadMoreComments
become the single loader, used by both the player sheet preload and
the comments overlay (which previously had its own duplicate copy).
- Extract PanelResizeGrabber from FloatingDetailsPanel into the new
Views/Player/Panels/ directory.
- Extract the shared queue list from QueueManagementSheet into
QueueListView plus QueuePlaybackActions, reused by the tvOS panel.
- Remove the no-op wideLayoutPanelAlignment accessor from the settings
view model; the player reads the panel side from SettingsManager, so
the preset field was dead. The Codable field stays so old presets
decode.
Persistent per-platform mode that plays only the audio track to save
bandwidth and speed up loads. When enabled, stream selection picks the
best audio-only stream (preferred language, codec, bitrate) and never
fetches the video URL; toggling mid-video reloads at the current
position using the quality-switch path (live vid=no toggling is avoided
due to A/V desync).
- Toggle row in the player quality/settings sheet on iOS, macOS and
tvOS, next to lock controls
- New audioMode control button type (red when active) for player
controls and mini player layouts
- Picking a video quality explicitly turns the mode off; audio track
picks keep it on and now work while audio-only is playing
- Stream URL refresh preserves audio-only playback instead of
resurrecting video
- Queue preloads and history entries resolved before a toggle are
discarded so selection re-runs with the current mode
- tvOS player shows the video thumbnail instead of a black screen
during audio-only playback
- PiP button hidden for audio-only streams
Playback menu seek items now follow the durations from the active player
controls preset instead of hardcoded 10s/30s labels. AppEnvironment caches
the active preset's center settings (refreshed on preset change
notifications) so menu commands can read them synchronously.
Add secondary seek durations (default 30s) to CenterSectionSettings,
configurable on macOS in Seek Durations settings, used by Shift+arrows in
the player and Cmd+Shift+arrows in the Playback menu.
Also let Cmd-based key equivalents pass through the player keyboard
monitor so menu shortcuts (e.g. Cmd+Option+arrow previous/next video)
work while the player window has focus, and unify macOS built-in preset
primary seek at 10s to match iOS/tvOS (built-in presets version 8).
Rename the macOS "Control Bar Buttons" settings entry to "Control Bar"
and add an Auto/Light/Dark glass background picker on that page. The
choice is stored per-preset as GlobalLayoutSettings.controlBarTheme and
forces the bar's glass color scheme via glassBackground(colorScheme:).
Render the macOS control bar button row and top bar from the active
preset's sections via a new MacOSControlsSectionRenderer, replacing the
hardcoded QuickTime-style rows in MacOSControlBar. Add a keepOnTop
button type and macOS-specific button availability lists, and adapt the
player controls settings editors (preset editor, section editor, button
configuration) for macOS.
Also apply the preset font style to the control bar time labels, and
update the built-in macOS Default preset order (queue before transport,
fullscreen at the end), bumping builtInPresetsVersion to 7.
