What's Changed

  • Add Audio Pipeline popup and improve online artist search- #204 (#375)

    Details

    User description

    What changed

    • Shift the footer's like / add / download action cluster slightly left to give the controls more room.
    • Add an Audio Pipeline button between Add to playlist and the streamed-track download action.
    • Add a structured Audio Pipeline popup covering Source, Decoder, Resampler, DSP, and Output Device. It reports available track metadata, source/add-on, EQ and transition state, AudioContext/native output details, and an estimate of queued native PCM. It does not claim bit-perfect playback or guess output format / hardware buffer size where the app cannot observe them.
    • Render YouTube Music channel results as circular artist avatars with names, matching the app's artist layout.
    • Open an artist channel's online artist page when clicked, while keeping the channel download action accessible on hover. Playlist results remain downloadable rectangular cards.

    Validation

    • Inspected the diff and verified the branch is based directly on the current upstream main.
    • Runtime UI/playback tests and a local production build were not run in this environment.

    CodeAnt-AI Description

    Show audio pipeline details and open artists from online search

    What Changed

    • Open an Audio Pipeline view from the player footer to see playback source, processing, and available output details. Information the app cannot observe is marked as unavailable instead of guessed.
    • Online artist results appear as circular profiles that open artist pages; downloading artists remains available, and playlists keep their downloadable cards.

    Impact

    ✅ Playback source and output details visible
    ✅ Artist pages open directly from online search
    ✅ Online artist downloads remain available

    Summary by CodeRabbit

    • New Features
      • Added an Audio Pipeline view showing track processing details, output information, and relevant warnings.
      • Search results now distinguish artist channels from playlists. Artist cards link to artist pages, and both types of results support downloads.
      • Added an Audio Pipeline button to the player when a track is playing.
    • Accessibility
      • Added accessible labels to the player’s like and playlist controls.

  • Show online artist search results as circular profiles (#376)

    Details

    User description

    What changed

    • Extend the circular portrait + name layout from YouTube Music artist channels to artist results in add-on Artist tabs as well.
    • Clicking an add-on artist opens the online Artist page directly instead of expanding into rectangular album cards. Album and playlist tabs keep their current card layout and open behavior.
    • Carry the selected add-on's provider ID and artist ID into navigation, then resolve that exact artist first on the Artist page so a same-name YouTube or other-provider result cannot replace the clicked artist.
    • Scope the artist-page cache by provider + source artist ID for these direct artist links.

    Validation

    • Diff contains only AddonCollections.jsx, OnlineArtist.jsx, and onlineBrowse.js; based on the current main.
    • Build/runtime testing was not possible in this environment.

    CodeAnt-AI Description

    Show add-on artists as profiles and open the selected artist

    What Changed

    • Add-on artist results appear as circular profiles and open their artist page directly.
    • Artist pages load the selected result from its original source, so a same-name artist from another source does not replace it.
    • Album and playlist results keep their existing layouts and open behavior.

    Impact

    ✅ Direct access to add-on artist pages
    ✅ Correct pages for same-name artists
    ✅ Artist results easier to scan

  • Align player footer actions with sidebar edge (#377)

    Details

    User description

    Summary

    • Anchor the player-bar action row so the heart begins at the right edge of the expanded left navigation sidebar (224px from the window's left edge).
    • Reserve a fixed 99px action row so the heart, plus, Audio Pipeline, and optional Download button keep the same starting position across streamed and local tracks.
    • Narrow the track metadata slot to fit before the action row; keep the overall 370px left player-bar column unchanged so the center playback controls remain centered.

    Verification

    • Compared the branch against main: only src/components/PlayerBar.jsx changes.
    • No local build or visual runtime test was run.

    CodeAnt-AI Description

    Keep player actions aligned at the sidebar edge

    What Changed

    • Like and other track actions stay in a fixed position beside the track details instead of shifting with available space.
    • Track details use a fixed width so changing tracks does not move the action row.

    Impact

    ✅ Player actions stay aligned with the sidebar edge
    ✅ Consistent action placement across tracks
