Add
- Discord rich presence ("Listening to", cover, progress, Listen Along
button). enable via [discord] client_id in config.toml : retries quietly
if Discord isn't running. new dep: discord-rich-presence.
- :save! / :w! to overwrite a playlist. Plain :save now refuses to
clobber an existing name.
Change
- Download audio with yt-dlp into the cache dir and play the local file
(mpv --ytdl=no) instead of streaming. Keep the last 40 files and
prefetch the next queued track.
- show the the actual yt-dlp/mpv error on playback failure instead of the
generic "update yt-dlp" hint; allow wider status messages (70 - 120 char).
- Split artists from YouTube's linked artist runs and yt-dlp's 'artists'
list (new Track::artists) rather than guessing from the display string.
Fallback splitter keeps names like "Tyler, The Creator" whole and
matches separators case-insensitively. (shit)
- Restyle selection (accent bold text + bar) and tab bar (underlined
active tab instead of pills)
- Share one ureq agent across yt Music requests
Fix
- Multiple drift instances: only the first (flock on session.lock) owns
the session, and playlist saves merge with what other instances wrote.
- Collection picker no longer steals keys while typing.
- "Play next" now shifts `played` indices so shuffle history stays right.
- Leaving the queue for a playlist/result list marks the queue as done.
- Replace unwrap() in lyrics sorting with total_cmp (NaN-safe).
- added feature to search for similar songs using YouTube API
; can go to similar songs by pressing (gs)
- added mpris support (added support for playerctl)
; this means you can show the current playing song on waybar, shells, etc
- added playlist search
- added go to album
- fetch lyrics from lrclib in the background, only while visible
- L toggles side panel, F opens fullscreen, :lyrics as a command
- highlight current line with a progress fill, fade surrounding lines
- fall back to scrollable plain lyrics when no synced version exists
- Windows support: drift now runs natively on Windows, using named pipes instead of Unix sockets.
- Song context menu: press G on any song for quick actions like play, queue, add to playlist, and song info
- Redesined command menu: the : prompt has a new, cleaner design
- Visualizer: a live audio visualizer now sits in the bottomleft corner
- Keybind hints: the most useful shortcuts are showen next to the volume control
- Added [artist] in config
- Automatically lists new songs when scrolled on :search
- You can view most popular songs on artist profile
- By adding this to your config:
[artist]
popular_first = true
