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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Adds an option in Appearance settings to use different accent colors
in light and dark mode, with a toggle to keep a single shared color
(the default, preserving existing behavior).
- New synced settings keys: accentColorDark, customAccentColorDark,
useSeparateDarkAccentColor; dark values fall back to the light
selection until explicitly set, so no migration is needed
- resolvedAccentColor returns a dynamic platform color (UIColor trait
provider / NSColor appearance provider) when the toggle is on, so
the root tint and all direct readers adapt to light/dark
automatically without consumer changes
- Accent Color section shows two stacked preset+custom grids with
Light/Dark headers when enabled, extracted into AccentColorGrid;
CustomAccentColorButton now takes bindings so the macOS color panel
edits whichever target was last opened
- New DarkAccentColorTests covering sync contract, default-off state,
fallbacks, and toggle-off resolution
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_0154KH8RAVAvm6iVanhmoW8o
Add a Custom swatch to the appearance settings accent color grid,
backed by a hex value stored in settings (synced via iCloud like the
rest). iOS uses the native ColorPicker wheel; macOS uses a circular
swatch that opens NSColorPanel, since the SwiftUI color well looks out
of place among the circles. All accent consumers now read the resolved
color through SettingsManager.resolvedAccentColor.
The indigo preset is retired from the grid but kept in the enum, so
users who selected it keep their color until they pick another one.

The glass controls capsule can now be dragged anywhere over the video.
Position is stored as a fraction of the container size so it survives
window resizes and aspect-ratio driven sheet resizes, persists across
sessions via SettingsManager, and snaps back magnetically when dropped
near the default bottom-center spot. Travel is clamped so the capsule
stays inside the player and never overlaps the top button row. A
mouseDownCanMoveWindow=false backing view keeps the window's
movable-by-background behavior from swallowing the drag.
Decouple the two concerns that were entangled in a single card-style setting:
- Layout (Compact / Regular) now only controls positioning of the
icon / title / subtitle / counter.
- Color (Soft / Vibrant) is a new independent setting: Soft = tinted
background with palette-colored icon and neutral text; Vibrant =
solid palette fill with white icon/text.
- Palette (Accent first, then Classic/Sunset/Meadow/Berry/Grape/Custom)
now applies to both layouts and both colors, and is always shown.
Adds section headers (Layout / Color / Palette) to the style page and
fixes the Compact preview to show the count subtitle line. Default is
Regular + Soft + Accent.
Replace the three-way macOS Player Mode picker (Separate Window /
Floating Window / Inline) with a single 'Play in a separate window'
toggle in Playback settings, and move the always-on-top choice to a
pin button in the player's top bar (window mode only).
Floating was really a transient window property (NSWindow.level), not
a peer of the window/inline structural choice — so it belongs on a live
control, not in Settings. The pin state persists across sessions.
- Replace MacPlayerMode enum with macPlayerSeparateWindow /
macPlayerFloating bool settings
- Branch runtime presentation and window level off the two bools
- Add pin.fill/pin toggle to MacOSPlayerControlsView top bar
- Update localization; drop obsolete playerMode strings and enum tests
Colorful shortcut cards now color by grid position instead of shortcut
identity, so colors stay in the same slot when shortcuts are reordered.
Adds a Palette option (Classic default, plus Sunset, Meadow, Berry,
Grape) and a Custom palette with a swatch-list editor (ColorPicker + hex
fields) and a switchable comma-separated text field. Color is resolved
per position and wraps by palette length, wired via a new
homeShortcutColorfulColor environment value and a Color(hex:) extension.
Adds a Style picker (Plain / Accent / Colorful) to the Customize Home
sheet, shown when the shortcuts layout is Cards. Defaults to Plain.
- Plain: current look (light accent tint + accent border)
- Accent: solid accent fill, white icon/text
- Colorful: solid fill with a fixed color per shortcut type
The filled styles use a Reminders-style layout (icon top-leading, count
top-trailing, title anchored to the bottom) with a subtle gradient sheen
over the fill color. Cards without a meaningful count (Open Link, Remote,
Subscriptions, instance content, media sources) hide the number; Remote
shows its status dot in the top-right slot instead.
Persisted via SettingsKey.homeShortcutCardStyle, mirroring the existing
homeShortcutLayout accessor.
Drop the dashEnabled toggle and its plumbing. Stream auto-selection now
keeps DASH as a candidate but ranks it strictly below progressive and
HLS formats, so DASH is only chosen when it is the only format available
(including live-stream fallback after HLS). The manual quality selector
hides DASH entirely on iOS/tvOS/macOS. Reconciles BackendSwitcher, which
previously treated HLS/DASH equally, to use the same DASH-last ranking.
Surface audio-delay (±10/±100 ms) and video-sync-mode controls behind an
"A/V Sync" navigation row in Advanced settings rather than inline, keeping the
Advanced page uncluttered. Audio delay applies live to the running MPV
instance; sync mode takes effect on next playback.
Lets the Apple TV switch its HDMI output to match the playing video's
frame rate and dynamic range via AVDisplayManager.preferredDisplayCriteria,
driven from MPV's container-fps and video-params/gamma. Two opt-in toggles
(default off) live under Playback → Display on tvOS; both are no-ops on
other platforms. Anchor an AVKit class symbol so the linker keeps AVKit
linked — Swift only autolinks AVFoundation here, and without AVKit the
UIWindow.avDisplayManager category isn't loaded at runtime.
Lets the auto stream selector pick formats whose codec isn't hardware
decoded on the current device. Defaults off; when on, 4K VP9/AV1 can be
auto-selected on Apple TV models without those decoders. Software-decoded
streams also move into the Recommended section so the selection stays
visible without enabling advanced stream details.
Tapping bit.ly/tinyurl/t.co/etc. in a description or comment previously
opened Safari even when the destination was a playable YouTube URL.
Added an opt-in "Resolve Short Links" toggle under YouTube Enhancements
(off by default) that follows the redirect on tap: if the target is a
YouTube/PeerTube/direct-media URL, open it in-app; otherwise prompt the
user before falling back to yt-dlp extraction or the browser.
Also added a confirmation dialog for non-shortener links that only
matched the loose .externalVideo yt-dlp fallback, so arbitrary web
pages in descriptions no longer silently kick off extraction.
Prompts live on NavigationCoordinator and are dual-hosted by YatteeApp
and ExpandedPlayerSheet so they remain visible whether or not the
expanded player is covering the main view.
When enabled, the Siri remote Menu button stops playback and clears the
queue instead of only collapsing the player, and the explicit top-bar
close (X) button is hidden.
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.
Introduces a "Display sections as" picker in Home settings with List and
Grid modes. Grid renders each section as a horizontal shelf of video
cards, defaulting to Grid on tvOS and List on iOS/macOS. Per-platform
defaults are preserved via a platform-specific settings key.
On tvOS the shelf is a focus section so swiping up/down between rows of
different lengths works without getting stuck at the end of a row.
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.
Extends `SettingsKey.isPlatformSpecific` to cover home, tab bar, and
sidebar layout, plus player details panel and video swipe actions, so
iOS devices sync these with other iOS devices (and tvOS with tvOS,
macOS with macOS) instead of overwriting each other via the shared
iCloud key. Adds a one-shot migration that copies legacy unprefixed
values into the new platform-prefixed slots locally and in iCloud,
preserving protected-key timestamps.
