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
The Settings (quality/audio/subtitles) and Queue panels now slide in
from the right and occupy the right half of the screen, matching the
info/comments details panel introduced in 92cc8b79f. Video stays
visible on the left so the user retains visual context while browsing.
Both panels supply their own ultraThinMaterial backdrop and use a
custom title bar (replacing NavigationStack's auto-title on tvOS) so
the title styling and symmetric padding match across panels and
across pushed destination screens. The Menu button now pops the
quality panel's pushed Video/Audio/Subtitles detail screens before
dismissing the panel itself.
Removes the background Button from the focus tree while either panel
is open so D-pad left/right inside a row no longer escapes focus
into the player and triggers a seek. Initial focus is steered into
the first row programmatically since tvOS doesn't auto-focus inline
overlays the way it does for fullScreenCover.
Doubles the queue thumbnail size on tvOS (160x90) for readability at
the half-screen panel width.
Match the info/comments and queue panels by replacing the black dim and
inner rounded card with a full-screen ultraThinMaterial backdrop and a
transparent list background on tvOS.
Replace the tvOS bottom action bar with Settings / Info / Comments /
Next / Close. Settings reuses QualitySelectorView (video, audio,
subtitles, speed); Comments opens TVDetailsPanel directly on the
comments tab; Close stops playback and dismisses.
Debug button is hidden by default and can be re-enabled via a new
tvOS-only Advanced Settings > Developer toggle.
Present the settings sheet as a fullScreenCover with a centered
material card, fix the "Normal" hyphenation, and restyle row selection
throughout the quality selector on tvOS: per-row rounded backgrounds
with focus tint + stroke, vertical spacing instead of dividers, and a
focusable speed-rate menu.
