What's new
- ✨ Highlights
- Stable build: after Android clears MeeTube in the background, the player comes back right where you left off instead of a blank video or 0:00, and the mini player and picture-in-picture behave on return. • Timer: hold the logo for a small frosted Timer (15, 25, 45, 60 min, or hold it to type any length). When it runs out MeeTube asks "Are ya winning, son?" and sends you back to focus, or gives you 5 more min. • Battery Saver: with the phone's Battery Saver on, MeeTube offers once to turn off animations and frosted glass, and Settings > Battery Saver has a switch to turn them off any time. • Your stats: holding the logo also shows today's time in MeeTube, watch time, videos and the last 7 days as bars, kept only on your phone.
- ⌛ New
- Download a part of a video: pick start and end frames on a trim slider, and MP4 parts fetch only their own bytes. • A layout for every page: pick the video layout for Home, Subscriptions, playlists, channels, search and Up next, with Customization split into five pages. • Save other people's playlists to You (and your account's library when signed in), with Saved playlists and Pinned channels on glass cards under History. • 240p and 144p join the default quality choices for Wi-Fi, mobile data and Shorts, for limited data plans. • About ends with a MeeTube TV card that leans with your phone, with Install on my TV and a link to its repo. • Home's chip segments are jelly: they swell under your finger, stretch toward a new pick and wobble back. Hold and drag the lens, and the row glides along at either end.
- 📣 Changed
- Up next rows match the other lists: a three-line title, two lines of details and the overflow button. • Chapters upright open in the panel under the video, like the transcript, and the video still takes taps. • Menus follow a finger dragged down and close or spring back on release.
- ⚙️ Fixed
- Pull to refresh on Gaming, News, Music and the other Home topics now brings new videos. • News no longer shows the same Shorts row twice. • The segment pill no longer jumps on refresh or flickers when you switch back and forth. • The drag lens stays whole at either end of the segments. • The No connection pill fits its text in fullscreen, and Watch later no longer adds videos twice.
