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.
MouseEvent coordinates are terminal-absolute, so the bar's seek handler
must subtract its own absolute left edge (renderable ref) instead of
treating the mouse x as bar-local. Clicking was off by the width of the
parent/Up pane (~20%) plus chrome. Also drop the empty played-text node
at position 0, which rendered a phantom space column and shifted the
drawn bar one char when playback started.
- release tarballs now ship podtui.png (assets/App Icon/App Icon.png, 512px)
on every platform; Linux tarballs additionally carry podtui.desktop
(Terminal=true so launchers open the TUI in a terminal)
- AUR PKGBUILD installs both: icon to hicolor 512x512, entry to applications/
- build.ts bundles the icon/desktop into dist before tarballing
Tabs, Discover categories (replacing unused placeholder glyphs), Settings
sections, and the Feed 'Fetch More' row get Nerd Font glyphs (Font Awesome PUA
codepoints). When the terminal font isn't Nerd Font capable the glyphs render
nothing at all — no tofu, no layout gaps — via supportsNerdFonts() (env
allowlist + PODTUI_NERD_FONTS=1/0 override). Documented in README (Configuration
-> Fonts).
- 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
The bottom-bar now-playing segment shows '<podcast> — <episode>' (custom name
when set, feed resolved like advanceEpisode), takes the full remaining status-bar
width, and marquee-scrolls on a 300ms timer when the text overflows instead of
truncating at 40 chars. Static when it fits; no interval runs on fit/narrow bars.
- ProgressBar: full-width played/remaining bar in the player pane, click-to-seek;
waveform no longer handles seeking or the played/future color split (pure visual)
- bars: 2 terminal rows per bar (16 levels) via barChars, partial block in the
top row so the column renders continuously
- fix bars maxing at audio start: disable cava autosens (silence gain-ramp),
pre-warm the malloc'd FFT window with zeros, skip partial FFT windows
- createBarScaler peak follower + power curve replaces cava autosens for
level-to-height mapping (src/utils/bar-mapping.ts, unit-tested)
Whitelist editor (Preferences > Auto Download Whitelist):
- input focus driven by nav.inputFocused() (SearchPage pattern) so Esc
deterministically defocuses and j/k/Space/Enter browse the suggestions
- suggestions react to mouse: click focuses the row and toggles membership
- no accent bg / no marker on any suggestion while the input is focused
- s re-enters typing mode; suggestion rows scroll into view
Search page: recent-searches rows get no bg and no marker while the query
input is focused (previously the focused row fell into the inactive branch
and rendered the border color as a background).
My Shows: w toggles the focused show in/out of the auto-download whitelist
at the show list (depth 0), with a whitelist marker on the row and a hint in
the preview pane (scope: whitelist).
Loading indicators: the braille spinner now carries a contextual label
(Refreshing…, Fetching…, Loading more…, Discovering…, Searching…) and is
shown in every loading state that previously rendered nothing — Discover
results, Search results fallback, and the empty Feed list.
Feed pagination: a focusable "[Fetch More]" row at the bottom of the flat
feed list advances every feed's loaded window by 50 episodes via the new
loadMoreAllFeeds/hasMoreAcrossAll store API. Behavior is a setting
(Fetch More: manual|auto, default manual) persisted in config.json; auto
fetches when focus reaches the bottom row. The button row is excluded
from episode focus so no episode is double-highlighted while it is active.
Set autoloadBunfig: false in build.ts so the compiled runtime ignores any
bunfig.toml in the launching directory, preventing startup failures from a
CWD preload the standalone cannot resolve. Update release.yml, Makefile,
bunfig.toml, CONTRIBUTING.md, and README.md to match.
- Current pane gets muted left/right borders only (no full box, no accent
ring); border colors are passed only when a border is requested, since
opentui flips borderless boxes to bordered when borderColor is supplied.
- Remove the Up / <current tab> / Detail titles above the panes; the current
pane's title now renders once, top-left in the parent column's header slot.
- Drop the parentLabel/previewLabel props from PaneRow and all callers.
- Remove the tab/depth indicator from the bottom-left of the status bar.
- Tests measure column widths from the border glyphs and assert the
left/right edges render muted regardless of focus.
Make parent|current|preview fully borderless: no scrollbox borders and no
accent border highlight on the current column. focused still gates
scroll-following but never surfaces a separator. Update tests to measure
column widths from the header-label row and assert no border glyphs render.
The original featured.json had 5 entries pointing at the wrong podcasts
because verification only checked the feed's <title> loosely matched.
Each wrong URL happened to share a slug/name with the intended show:
- All-In Podcast: feeds.transistor.fm/all-in was a Verizon internal
comms show (6 eps from 2020), not the Chamath/Sacks/Friedberg/
Calacanis show. -> allinchamathjason.libsyn.com/rss (405 eps)
- Code Switch: NPR feed ID 510352 was 'I\'ll Be Seeing You'.
-> 510312 (correct Code Switch feed, 637 eps)
- Stuff You Should Know: rss.art19.com/stuff-you-should-know was a
different show by 'Podgo' (7 eps). -> iHeart omnycontent URL
(2855 eps, Josh Clark & Chuck Bryant)
- Philosophize This!: feed.podbean.com/... returned 0 items.
-> philosophizethis.libsyn.com/rss (189 eps, Stephen West)
- Very Bad Wizards: feed.podbean.com/... returned 0 items.
-> feeds.libsyn.com/474285/rss (345 eps, official feed)
Bumps version 1 -> 2 so the discover store re-fetches immediately.
All 5 corrected URLs verified: 200 OK, valid RSS, matching <title>
and <itunes:author>, sensible episode counts, recent pubDates.
tsconfig used jsx:"preserve"+jsxImportSource, which trips a TS 5.9
internal crash ("Expected sourceFile.imports[0] to be the synthesized JSX
runtime import") so tsc could never run clean. Switch to jsx:"react-jsx"
with the package's real jsx-runtime types, and fix the real errors that
surfaced:
- delete dead src/components/Navigation.tsx (imported ./Tab that doesn't
exist; the component has no importers)
- PlaybackControls: fix relative path to @/utils/audio-player
- SourceBadge: drop dead module-level typeColor (bare 'theme')
- command palette: bind to the real 'command' keybind (:) instead of the
never-defined 'command_list' action (palette was unreachable)
- yazi-pane-row test: destroy() must return Promise<void> as typed
Also fold in the package.json lint fix (bun tsc --noEmit) and doc polish.
The embedded runtime reads the CWD bunfig.toml at startup; the repo's
top-level 'preload = ["@opentui/solid/preload"]' made the standalone die
because that module isn't bundled. Removed the ambient preload from
bunfig.toml and moved the solid transform registration to explicit
--preload flags in the start/dev scripts ([test] preload untouched).
Verified: binary boots from repo root, from a clean dir, and dev/start
still work; bun test 54 pass. No new release needed — the binaries were
never config-dependent; this was purely the repo's bunfig trap.
- Vendor cava/cavacore.c + header (MIT, from karlstav/cava) — the FFI build
referenced cava/cavacore.c which was never committed, so every CI runner
failed at scripts/build-cavacore.sh and no release was possible.
- build-cavacore.sh: discover libfftw3.a across Homebrew and Debian/Ubuntu
multiarch paths (FFTW_PREFIX override preserved).
- release.yml: install fftw before building cavacore; run the boot smoke test
from a bunfig-free dir (the embedded runtime reads the CWD bunfig.toml and
this repo's preload entry breaks it — 'preload not found'); use
macos-15-intel for darwin-x64 (macos-latest is arm64).
- Makefile/build.ts: drop the no-op BUN_CONFIG=bunfig.standalone.toml compile
dance (Bun never honored it; compile output is config-independent); delete
bunfig.standalone.toml.
