- build.ts: darwin compile now exits 1 when mpv is absent — CI can no
longer ship a PodTui.app without its bundled player (0.4.0 did, killing
Now Playing attribution).
- audio-player.ts: the bundled mpv is probed (--version) at first resolve;
it links against brew's dylibs, and a Homebrew ffmpeg major upgrade can
break it — fall back to PATH mpv so audio survives (icon degrades to
blank instead of playback dying). Probed once per process.
- release.yml: brew install mpv on darwin runners; smoke test now asserts
the tarball's PodTui.app has a launchable mpv signed with the
com.mikefreno.podtui identifier.
mpv owns the macOS Now Playing session (it plays the audio), and an
unbundled binary renders as a blank placeholder for the source-app icon.
macOS has no public API for a third party to claim session ownership
(MPNowPlayingSession is iOS-only; the private MRMediaRemoteSetNowPlayingApplication
was removed from the shared cache), so instead we make the OWNING process
carry our bundle: the darwin tarball now includes PodTui.app with mpv copied
into Contents/MacOS. AudioPlayer resolves the sibling mpv first (falling
back to PATH), LaunchServices attributes the process to com.mikefreno.podtui,
and Control Center shows the PodTui icon + name with podcast cover art.
AppIcon.icns generated from the Xcode icon-composer exports.
- mpv: --force-media-title '<podcast> — <episode>' so macOS Now Playing shows
the podcast name instead of the download-hash filename (mediaTitle PlayOption)
- media registry: artist is now the human podcast title (customName ||
podcast.title), falling back to podcastId
- downloads: write the podcast cover as a <base>.jpg sibling so mpv's
cover-art-auto=exact picks it up for artwork; delete it with the download
