Changelog

Changes to drift. Loosely follows Keep a Changelog.

Unreleased

Added

• MPRIS on linux. media keys, playerctl and waybar can now see and control drift (play/pause/next/prev/seek/stop), with title, artist, album and cover art. Shows up as org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.drift. If theres no dbus session it just doesnt start, nothing breaks.
• :album <query> to search albums, :playlist <query> to search youtube music playlists. Results show up in a picker, enter loads the tracks. (:playlists is still your own playlists tab.) Big playlists stop at ~300 tracks.
• gb / :album / G then b opens the album of the selected song. It finds it by album + artist name so it can guess wrong sometimes, and the song needs album info to begin with.
• gs / :similar / :radio loads ~50 songs similar to the selected one and starts playing them, like youtube music radio.
• Synced lyrics from LRCLIB. L toggles the side panel, F for fullscreen. Current line gets a progress fill, lines around it fade.
• Plain lyrics fallback when theres no synced version, scroll with j/k.

Changed

• Album tracks now get the artist/album/length filled in when youtube leaves them out.
• Tracks from a playlist get their album too, so gb works on them.
• New dependency on linux: souvlaki (zbus backend, pure rust, no system libs). Cargo.lock needs a regen, just run cargo build once. --locked builds, the flake and the AUR package need the new lock.
• Tab bar is pills now, inactive tabs have dimmed counts.
• Tab bar only reserves space for the spinner while busy, fits narrow terminals better.

Fixed

• Playing from a playlist no longer replaces the queue. Playlists play as their own list, queue only has what you add, queued songs go first and then the playlist continues.
• Shuffle and repeat-all work for playlists and results now. repeat-all used to loop the queue instead of the list you were actualy playing.
• P / :playall doesnt wipe the queue anymore.
