- Send Now Playing elapsed time once per 5-second bucket; the modulo check
fired for every frame of that second (12 updates/s on average).
- Skip mpv renders while paused unless mpv requests a redraw (seek, new
frame, PiP change, new load) instead of redrawing the same frame at
display rate.
- Read playback time untracked in the progress bar and time labels while
the controls are hidden, so they are not re-rendered on every tick.
- Only clear the current SponsorBlock segment when one is set.
Performance Logging (Developer settings) logs a resource sample every 5s
in the foreground and background: CPU by area and thread, wakeups, GPU,
memory, disk, activity counters as rates (mpv property updates, player
time publishes, renders, saves, network, images, CloudKit events, log
entries, main run-loop wakeups), SwiftUI body evaluations of the player
views, and app/player/battery context. Each foreground/background
transition logs a summary of the period. MetricKit metrics and
diagnostics (CPU exceptions, hangs) are logged whenever logging is on.
Background diagnostics (iOS) log lifecycle, audio session and power
events with an app/player/render snapshot and a heartbeat that detects
suspension gaps and main-thread stalls. Logs are persisted per session
in Caches/Logs and the previous session is included in exports, so logs
survive the app being swiped away.
Every mpv time-pos tick updated PlayerState.currentTime and bufferedTime,
re-rendering the invisible player controls, progress bar and chapter
segments several times per second while the app played in the
background, which drained the battery during long audio-only sessions.
- PlayerState keeps currentTime/bufferedTime current for readers but
stops notifying observers while publishesTimeUpdates is off;
PlayerService turns it off on entering the background and back on
(with one catch-up notification) before returning to the foreground
- MarqueeText pauses its animation timeline outside the active scene
- Replace the 100 ms polling loops in RemoteControlCoordinator and
ToastManager (iOS/tvOS) with observation-driven waits
Main-thread samples during 30 s of background audio-only playback on an
iPhone 12 mini went from 1289 to 248.
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.
Tapping a related video kept the panel scrolled where it was, so the new
title was out of view, and the chapters section kept showing the previous
video's chapters until the new ones resolved.
The scroll config now carries the video identity and the shared page
scroll view scrolls to the top (without animation, resetting the reported
offset) whenever it changes. PlayerState.setCurrentVideo clears chapters
on a video id change, alongside comments and storyboards.
Chapter lists highlighted the active row by reading currentTime in the
view body, re-rendering every row many times per second during
playback. PlayerState now stores a change-guarded activeChapterID
updated when time or chapters change, so views observe only chapter
transitions.
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.
PlaybackRate.displayText/compactDisplayText used String(format: "%.2gx"), whose significant-figure notation dropped meaningful digits (1.25 -> "1.2x") and rounded others (1.75 -> "1.8x"). Replace with a fixed two-decimal format + trailing-zero strip so whole rates have no decimal (2 -> "2x"), halves show one (1.5 -> "1.5x"), and quarter-steps are preserved (1.25 -> "1.25x"). Adds a Swift Testing suite (PlaybackRateTests) proving red->green.
- Move Close to a top-right circular icon; bottom row reorganizes into
left (Settings/Info/Comments), center transport (Previous/PlayPause/Next),
and right (Queue) clusters with equal side frames so transport stays
geometrically centered.
- Introduce a circular icon-only `TVTransportButtonStyle` (primary variant
for Play/Pause) mirroring the new Close button look.
- Always render Previous/Next so Play/Pause position is fixed; dim and
disable when unavailable.
- Share `isTransportDisabled` on `PlayerState` and reuse it on iOS and
tvOS; apply it (plus symbol replace transition) to the tvOS Play/Pause
button.
Extract shared TimeInterval.formattedAsTimestamp replacing 8 identical
formatTime/formattedTime implementations across player views. Remove
unused currentTime parameter from GestureSeekPreviewView. Consolidate
duplicated geometry math in MacOSControlBar into seekPreviewPosition().
- Fix BGTaskScheduler assertion crash on Mac Catalyst by guarding all
iOS background task APIs with isMacCatalystApp check
- Fix iPad popover crash in UIPopoverPresentationController by adding
.presentationCompactAdaptation(.sheet) to all 27 confirmationDialogs
- Fix SwiftData assertion crash when accessing deleted Bookmark model
properties during SwiftUI hit testing in BookmarkRowView
- Fix UICollectionView invalid item count crash on queue swipe-to-delete
by using ID-based removal with withAnimation instead of stale index
- Fix Range crash in storyboard download when storyboardCount is zero
Adds a "Proxy videos" toggle in instance settings that routes video
streams through the instance instead of connecting directly to YouTube
CDN. Includes auto-detection of 403 blocks and live re-application of
proxy settings without requiring app restart or video reload.
