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.
Videos carry isShort from Yattee Server and Piped, and Invidious feed
entries are taken as Shorts when they arrive with no length and aren't
live or upcoming: the feed comes from RSS, which lists Shorts, while
lengths come from the Videos tab, which doesn't. Subscriptions, search
and instance browse hide videos known to be Shorts when the toggle is
on; videos whose source can't tell are always shown.
The window-level dismiss pan recognizes before SwiftUI's slider
DragGesture sets isAdjustingPlayerSliders, so dragging volume or
brightness often dismissed the player instead. Side sliders now publish
their frames and the pan refuses to begin from touches inside them.
mpv's volume/mute properties are software volume applied before samples
reach the AO, and AVSampleBufferAudioRenderer queues ~2s ahead, so slider
and mute changes were heard only after the queue drained. With the
avfoundation AO active, drive ao-volume/ao-mute (renderer volume, instant)
and keep software volume neutral; other AOs keep software volume. Re-apply
on every audio reconfig since a new renderer starts at full volume.
The mini player's SwiftUI global frame already ignores the scale transform
on the main window's content, so mapping it out of that scale again landed
the morph about 8% too large, left and high of the preview, which then
jumped into place when the real mini player took over.
Related and queue rows in the player use the default menu context, so the
pushed screen landed underneath the still-expanded player. Collapse on
player state instead of the .player context. Recommendations without an
authorId no longer offer Go to Channel, which opened an empty channel.
Where the trailing safe-area column is wide enough for avatars (the iPhone
Duo inner screen's vertical status bar), the channel filter becomes a
vertical rail stacked from the bottom of the column instead of a strip over
the feed. The space below the status items and Dynamic Island comes from
iOS 27.1 occlusion reserved regions, which follow the island while the safe
area stays put. The placement is computed in the same pass as the geometry
so the collapsing large title can't drag the rail along for a frame.
Large keeps bigger avatars in the narrow column by giving up padding first.
The mini player reported its frame inside the main window's scaled-down
content, so the morph aimed short of where it ends up once the scale
animates back. The scaled content also had a smaller bottom safe area
(UIKit derives it from the transformed frame) that only came back on the
next layout, lifting the mini player 2pt after the morph landed. Map the
target out of the scale, account for the safe area it gets back, and
re-lay the main window out as the morph starts.
Wide videos showed letterbox bars in the tiny iOS mini player preview right
after the dismiss morph, which lands the video filling the preview. The
container that takes the shared player view now sets mpv's keepaspect, so
the mini player fills its frame and every other surface keeps the aspect
ratio.
Releasing the dismiss drag now shrinks the player window onto its video and
flies it into the mini player's preview instead of sliding it off screen and
showing the mini player afterwards. The mini player stays mounted under the
expanded player and reports its preview frame, and the window is masked down
to the video while its root view is transformed onto that frame (with the
safe area the transform drops added back, so the content doesn't jump).
The handoff of the shared MPV view is made seamless: a freshly made player
container waits for its first layout before taking a view that is on screen
elsewhere, sizes and redraws it there, and the window hides in that same
frame. Resizing the render view draws the current frame into the recreated
framebuffer right away instead of leaving it blank until the next tick.
Falls back to the slide when no preview target is available (rotated
session, video preview hidden, different window size).
With the panel shown, the panel now takes the whole lower half with its
top edge on the hinge, and the video stays centered in the upper half
where it sits with the panel hidden, so toggling the panel never moves it.
On a half-open foldable the side column takes exactly the trailing half,
so the split lands on the hinge. Fully open, the column can now be
resized up to half the width. A re-presented player seeds the hinge
state from the last report so it doesn't animate into the split.
Unfolding an iPhone Duo kept the old scroll offset, leaving the selected
card misaligned. Re-snap to the current card on width change, and clear
the requested position once it settles so the lazy stack doesn't pull
the next swipe back halfway between cards.
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.
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.
Load All in Open Link opens an Opened Links page that resolves each link
into a video, playlist or channel row like search results, in input
order. Video rows keep the usual context menu and swipe actions, and the
page can play, queue, bookmark or download all resolved videos.
Open Link gets a Load action that resolves one link and shows its video
details page, playlist or channel screen instead of only playing or
downloading it. Play and Download stay as shortcuts for video links.
Timed links start at their timestamp from the details page, the Show
Details link action opens the details page, and a short extraction cache
avoids re-extracting the same link for details and playback.
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.
A tvOS sheet fills most of the screen, far too much for a two-button
question. The shared sheet host now presents link action confirmations
as an alert there, answering cancel when it goes away without a choice.
A toast shown while a shared sheet was up, such as a failed link action
over Open Link, appeared behind the sheet. Sheets from .appSheetHost now
carry their own toast overlay, and only the top-most overlay of a scope
shows its toasts.
Piped's /channel/{id} rejects handles, so channel pages, tabs and
subscribe links for youtube.com/@name failed. Resolve the handle
through /c/@handle once per instance and use the channel ID.
In regular width the channel sidebar took half of a narrow content
column, such as the iPhone Duo inner screen or iPad portrait with the
app sidebar open, leaving the feed unreadable. Gate the sidebar on the
column having room for its minimum width plus a 320pt feed; below that
the floating channel strip takes over, as on iPhone.
The tvOS player covers the root view with a fullScreenCover and had no
sheet host, so global sheet requests made while it was up (link action
confirmations) were never presented and the action waited forever.
Invidious' channel endpoints take only UC… IDs and return 500 for a
youtube.com/@handle, so channels opened from handle links (and the
subscribe link action) failed with "Could not get channel info". Resolve
the handle through /api/v1/resolveurl first, cached per instance.
Play Video, Add Video to Queue, Download Video, Bookmark Video, Subscribe
to / Unsubscribe from Channel, Control Player, Seek, Set Playback Speed,
Get Now Playing, Open Section and Search Videos. Each runs the same
LinkAction as the matching yattee:// link through LinkActionPerformer,
without the confirmation sheet (the person built the shortcut). Failures
surface their message in Shortcuts.
App Shortcuts: control player, now playing, open section, search.
yattee://x-callback-url/{verb}?… runs the same action as yattee://{verb}?…
and then opens x-success with the result's values appended, x-error with
errorCode/errorMessage, or x-cancel when a confirmation is declined (x-error
with errorCode=cancelled when no x-cancel is given). Unknown verbs report
unsupportedAction. Callbacks to file:, javascript: and data: URLs are ignored.
Adds yattee://player/state, which reports what is playing (title, videoID,
channel, playing, position, duration, rate) without changing anything.
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.
SettingsView owns its navigation stack, so pushing it onto a section's
stack rendered nothing. Select the Settings section where the layout has
one, otherwise present Home's settings sheet; open the Settings window on
macOS.
- Route legacy yattee://watch?v=, yattee://youtube.com/..., yattee://https://...
links like their web equivalents (only natively handled destinations)
- Unwrap yattee://open?url= inside route() so every caller keeps the inner
URL's own query items
- Never route file:// URLs as direct media
- Support source/instance on yattee://playlist and PeerTube /w/p/ and
/video-playlists/ URLs
- Leave open sheets alone and show a toast for links that go nowhere
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.
Tapping a new-videos notification while Home's Settings sheet was up
switched to the Subscriptions feed underneath the sheet, so the app
came back still showing Settings. The existing dismissSettings() hook
was never called.
NavigationCoordinator.dismissPresentations() bumps a generation that
the main window's root sheet host and screen sheets (Home's Settings,
Remote Devices, Customize Home; Subscriptions' view options and data)
observe via .dismissesOnExternalNavigation(_:). The notification,
deep links and Handoff call it; in-app navigation and layout swaps do
not. The expanded player keeps its own sheets.
The notification also collapses the expanded player so the feed it
opens is visible.
In the split-view sidebar layout (macOS, and now iPad and the iPhone
Duo), the detail NavigationStack that a selection change replaces
writes an empty path through its binding on the way out, so going to
another section and back always landed on the section's root. macOS
already behaved this way before the router.
Only the selected section's stack is on screen and can pop, so path
writes for any other section are ignored.
The swipe-action share sheet, the expanded player's safe area and the
Dynamic Island side check took connectedScenes.first, which ignores
which scene is active (on the iPhone Duo it can be the other panel's)
and presented the share sheet from the main window, behind an expanded
player.
UIApplication.foregroundWindowScene/foregroundWindow resolve the
foreground-active scene (else foreground-inactive, else any) and its
key window, the order the widescreen layout already used. The share
sheet now presents from the key window, which is the player's while it
is up. The tvOS display mode manager uses the same lookup.
The download deep link kept the video, streams and captions in separate
states next to a presented flag, and the sheet was declared only at the
app root, so it opened behind an expanded player. It is now a global
request for the download options AppSheet.
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.
Each video row carried its own sheets: tappableVideo added the queue
action and resume sheets, the context menu and swipe actions added
add-to-playlist and download options, so a row could declare up to six
sheets, owned by a row that a list may recycle.
Rows now present those through the nearest sheet host, as does the
video info view's resume prompt. The queue action sheet for a tapped
description link becomes a global request instead of being declared
at both the app root and the expanded player.
Sheets take the color scheme where their host sits, so the floating
details panel's dark override no longer reaches them and the
presentationColorScheme workaround is gone.
The add-to-playlist, download options and queue sheets were declared in
every view that could open them: the root view (twice, mirrored from
coordinator flags), the expanded player, its portrait and floating
panels, the player controls and the video info view.
AppSheet lists the shared sheets, and .appSheetHost() declares them
once. The app root and the expanded player each host them, and every
presented sheet hosts the next level. Views present through the
presentAppSheet environment action, which reaches the nearest host;
code without a view (and the expanded player itself, whose host sits
in its own body) uses PresentationRouter.request, taken by the
top-most host: the player while it is up, the root otherwise.
The mini player's queue and playlist sheets now go through the host,
replacing the isMiniPlayer*SheetPresented flags.
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.
The tab bar and sidebar layouts each kept their own navigation paths and
selection, so swapping between them (resizing an iPad Stage Manager
window across the size-class breakpoint) lost every pushed screen and
re-applied the startup tab.
NavigationRouter now holds the selected section, a typed stack per
section keyed by SidebarItem.id, the search text and the sidebar
manager. Both layouts select with SidebarItem and render the router's
state; navigate(to:) pushes onto it directly instead of going through
an observed pendingNavigation, so a request made before a layout
appears is not lost, and a destination pushed before startup keeps its
section. When a layout can't show the selection (a sidebar channel in
the tab bar, a section hidden by customization) it lands on the section
that can host it with that screen pushed first.
This also fixes keyboard section commands in the tab bar layout and the
coordinator's stale tab on iPad. AppTab, pendingNavigation,
selectedSidebarItem and the unused SheetDestination/path API are gone,
and the iOS 18 and 26.1 root views are merged into AdaptiveTabView.
The root view mirrors the coordinator's mini-player queue and playlist
sheet flags into local state on change only, so a flag set before the
view first appeared was never shown. Read the initial value too.
Also remove the iOS Settings sheet driven by the .showSettings
notification, which nothing posts.
Downloads lived in Documents/Downloads and were included in device
backups. Mark the directory as excluded on every launch, and run a
one-time migration flagging files downloaded by earlier versions.
Download records stay in UserDefaults and are restored with a backup
while the files are not, so active downloads now reset finished phases
whose files are missing instead of completing with a dangling file.
