Hide the toggle on macOS, where apps are never suspended and playback
always continues regardless of the setting. Pause playback on iOS when
backgrounding with the setting disabled — the audio background mode
previously kept mpv playing, making the off state a no-op.
Move the continue-playing policy into PlayerService and make the
backend's background render pause unconditional (PiP-gated only):
it is a GPU optimization that should not depend on the setting.
Also ungate the player sheet visibility handlers, which manage
foreground mini player rendering unrelated to background playback.
The read-only defaults list grouped tvOS with iOS as ao=audiounit, but
MPVClient actually sets ao=avfoundation,audiounit on tvOS (avfoundation
first because audiounit can't open 32-channel HDMI Atmos routes).
Display-only fix; no playback behavior change.
On macOS 27 beta, mpv's coreaudio AO fails to initialize (channel layout
set rejected with paramErr -50). The existing ao=coreaudio,avfoundation
fallback restored audio, but exposed an mpv bug: init() registers a HAL
hotplug listener (AudioObjectAddPropertyListener on the system object,
with the raw ao pointer as user data) before the step that fails, and
the coreaudio_error path never unregisters it. mpv then frees the ao
and falls back to avfoundation, leaving a dangling listener per
playback start. The next audio device change (AirPods connect,
sleep/wake device republish) invokes the listener with the freed
pointer and crashes with a use-after-free SIGSEGV on the
HALC_ProxyNotification Call Listener Queue (observed in build 262;
faulting address was reused "texture_" shader string memory).
Gate the AO order by OS version: on macOS 27+ use
avfoundation,coreaudio so the failing coreaudio init never runs; older
macOS keeps the native coreaudio first with avfoundation as fallback.
Update the read-only defaults mirror in MPV options settings to match.
The NavigationStack-level background wasn't enough: macOS draws its own
translucent material behind pushed navigation pages, and Form/List
containers draw a translucent scroll background on top of anything
placed behind them, so several pages kept the wallpaper-tinted look.
Bake the opaque background into SettingsFormContainer (covers all pages
built on it, pushed or not) and add opaqueSettingsFormBackground(),
which hides the container's scroll background before applying the
opaque one, to every macOS-reachable Form/List settings page: player
controls and its sub-editors, sidebar settings, edit source, legacy
data import, subscription/playlist import, customize home and its
shortcut style page, and the log viewer. Contributors, translators and
the remote control device page get the plain opaque background.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_0154KH8RAVAvm6iVanhmoW8o
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 Filter/Export/Clear buttons appeared twice on macOS: inline next
to the search bar and again inside the ellipsis toolbar menu. Show
them once as plain toolbar buttons on macOS; keep the menu on iOS/tvOS.
macOS 27 beta's AUHAL rejects mpv's channel-layout property with paramErr
(-50), so the coreaudio AO fails to initialize and playback is silent.
Change the macOS ao option from "coreaudio" to "coreaudio,avfoundation"
so mpv self-heals: older macOS keeps using coreaudio unchanged, while the
beta drops to avfoundation (AVSampleBufferAudioRenderer) instead of playing
no sound.
Replace the log-content-with-copy sheet with an NSSavePanel that writes
the exported logs to a .txt file, matching the subscriptions and preset
export flows. ShareSheet presentation is now iOS-only; tvOS export is
unchanged.
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).
Match the global Search view by pinning the searchable field and
trailing buttons to the right edge on macOS 26 via a flexible
ToolbarSpacer at .primaryAction. Applied to History, Bookmarks,
Manage Channels, Downloads, Instance Browse, and PeerTube Explore.
In History, the clear-history item moves from .automatic to
.primaryAction so it groups with the other trailing controls.
Buttons in the section, mini player, and pill editors can now be
removed via long-press/right-click context menu instead of only
swipe-to-delete. This also gives macOS a delete affordance in the
section editor, which previously had none.
Plain-Form sheets rendered as columns-style content floating inside
oversized fixed frames on macOS. Anchor these panels to their toolbar
buttons as popovers instead, sized to content; iOS/tvOS keep sheets.
- Search and PeerTube explore filters apply live (Cancel never
reverted anything anyway) and dismiss on outside click
- Subscriptions/Manage Channels "Subscriptions Data" opens as a sheet
from the popover's onDisappear via a pending flag, since presenting
while the popover dismisses gets swallowed
- Media browser view options drop navigation chrome on macOS
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.
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
Sheet dismiss buttons rendered as an iOS-style circular glass "X" on
macOS 26, which looks foreign on the desktop. Add a shared
sheetCloseToolbarItem helper that renders a native text "Close" button
on macOS while keeping the compact icon-only xmark on iOS/tvOS, and
replace the ~14 duplicated inline close buttons across sheets with it.
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.
The Test Connection buttons only probed API/server reachability, which
was misleading: a green result said nothing about whether videos would
actually play. Remove both the remote-server and WebDAV bandwidth test
buttons and all code exclusive to them (testBandwidth, BandwidthTestResult,
and orphaned localization keys). Add-time connectivity validation for
SMB/WebDAV sources is retained.
Legacy v1 instances without an account had no import path after the
switch to explicit account review. Surface them in a separate "Sources"
section of the legacy import view where they can be added with a single
tap (no sign-in) or removed, mirroring the accounts flow. Instances tied
to an account stay in the Accounts section and are not duplicated.
Detection now gates the entry points and first-launch prompt on any
legacy data (accounts or sources), not accounts alone.
The manual account-import flow made the old silent instance-import
pipeline unreachable. Drop the orphaned parsing, reachability checks,
batch import, result/error types, and the old import row view, plus the
httpClient dependency they were the only consumer of. Also remove the
LegacyAccount.password field, which was parsed but never read.
Pre-macOS 26 doesn't reliably surface a detail-pane NavigationStack's
toolbar confirmation items in the window title bar, leaving the
"Add Source" actions invisible. Gate the toolbar placement behind
macOS 26+ and fall back to an inline form/header button on older
macOS across the add-source views and the sources list.
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.
Wrap pushed view in TVSidebarDetailContainer, list custom options
first so focus engages on a row, mark default options focusable so the
list scrolls. Replace toolbar-based Add/Edit sheets with padded VStacks
and inline confirm buttons. Cache customMPVOptions in @Observable
backing storage so writes refresh the list immediately.
Surfaces the existing iOS/macOS Background Playback setting in the tvOS
Playback settings, defaulting to off so audio stops when the user leaves
the app via the TV button. Pauses playback on .background/.inactive when
the toggle is off, regardless of audio route — the user's setting wins
over AirPlay/HomePod handoff. Also auto-shows the tvOS player controls
when returning to foreground so the paused state is immediately visible
and actionable.
tvOS's sidebarAdaptable TabView leaves the previously-pushed detail view
visible after the user picks another sidebar item, until they manually
press Menu. Broadcast a notification on tab change so any pushed
TVSidebarDetailContainer dismisses itself, and reset each tab's
NavigationPath. Also drop a redundant inner NavigationStack in the tvOS
SettingsView so subpages register on the tab's outer stack.
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.
Settings → Notifications → Manage Channels: wrap the tvOS NavigationLink
destination in TVSidebarDetailContainer(showsDismissButton: true) so the
no-subscriptions, error, and loading states all have a focusable Done.
Channels sidebar tab: lift the tvOS search field + View Options button
out of the loaded-channels branch and render it above every state. The
empty state previously had zero focusable elements, leaving the right
pane blank when swiping in from the sidebar.
TVSidebarDetailContainer now exposes a showsDismissButton flag instead of
always attaching a Done toolbar item. The button is only enabled where a
view can end up with no focusable element on its own — Device
Capabilities (informational rows) and the Import Playlists/Subscriptions
flows.
Wrap Contributors, Translators, Acknowledgements, and Device Capabilities
destinations in TVSidebarDetailContainer for the consistent sidebar look,
and make the Translators/Acknowledgements rows focusable on tvOS by
wrapping them in Buttons so the Menu remote button can pop the stack.
When all playlists/subscriptions were imported, every row collapsed to a
non-focusable checkmark and the Add All toolbar item disappeared, leaving
the view with no focusable element. The Menu button then closed the app
instead of popping the navigation stack.
Wrap the import destinations in TVSidebarDetailContainer for visual
consistency and add a Done toolbar item (cancellationAction) that is
always present on tvOS, reachable from any list row via swipe-up.
The .sheet rendering on tvOS produced a tiny floating modal where the
"Sign In" title wrapped onto two lines and form fields overflowed. Use
.fullScreenCover on tvOS and wrap the login form in
TVSidebarDetailContainer so the title/icon sit in the standard 400pt
left sidebar. iOS and macOS keep the existing sheet presentation.
Piped's session token reuses the Authorization header, so a fronting basic
auth proxy can't coexist with logged-in Piped use — the two would clobber
each other's credentials on every authenticated request.
Add a supportsHTTPBasicAuthProxy capability on Instance/InstanceType (false
for Piped, true for everything else) and route it through:
- AddRemoteServerView refuses Piped if detection only succeeded behind basic
auth, surfacing a localized "not supported" error instead of a silently
broken instance, and hides the optional credentials section for Piped.
- EditSourceView hides the basic auth fields for Piped instances and clears
any legacy stored credentials on save, in case a Piped source was added
with credentials before this change.
Drop the standalone iOS section for Integrations and inline its row into
the main list right above Advanced Settings. Swap the tvOS sidebar order
so Integrations appears before Advanced as well. macOS was already
correctly ordered via SettingsSection enum declaration.
Also swap the icon to puzzlepiece.extension, which better conveys that
this section houses third-party service hookups (SponsorBlock, Return
YouTube Dislike, DeArrow, short-link resolution) rather than being
YouTube-specific.
Hide the Resolve Short Links toggle on tvOS — there's no way to tap
inline description links or reach a system browser there — and tighten
the openInSystemBrowser platform guards so the iOS-only UIApplication
path isn't compiled on tvOS.
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.
New Release-DeveloperID configuration gates Sparkle behind a SPARKLE
compile flag so the App Store Release build stays Sparkle-free. Adds
SPUStandardUpdaterController wrapper, Check for Updates menu command,
Advanced Settings section with beta channel toggle, and a Ruby script
plus GitHub Actions job that signs each release and publishes the
appcast to gh-pages for consumption by Sparkle and Homebrew cask.
Drop the redundant inner NavigationStack on non-tvOS (the outer detail
pane already provides one) and apply .listStyle(.inset) on macOS. Kept
as List to preserve drag-to-reorder for the main navigation section.
Convert detail and filter sheets to shared helpers, add inline Filter /
Export / Clear buttons next to the search bar (toolbar items weren't
surfacing in the settings detail pane), inline the Reset Filters button
at the bottom of the filter sheet, use a 'Close' text button, and trim
the macOS Share Sheet to just the scrollable log with a Copy button.
