CRITICAL FIXES

🎥 Video Playback FIXED

  • "Plays microsecond then stops" — Root cause: AudioHelper.requestFocus() triggered _onShouldPause callback which immediately paused the video. Added _requestingFocus guard to suppress self-triggered interruptions.
  • "Null check operator used on a null value" — Fixed unsafe ! operators throughout player.
  • Gesture tap conflict — Parent GestureDetector intercepted play button taps. Controls overlay now absorbs taps independently.
  • Piped API fallback — When YouTube direct URLs fail (signatureCipher), the app now falls back to 4 public Piped API instances that return direct working stream URLs.

📱 Shorts Inline Playback

  • Shorts now play video inline like YouTube Shorts
  • Vertical PageView with VideoPlayerController
  • Tap to play/pause with visual indicator
  • Progress bar, subscribe, like, share, comments all functional

Infrastructure

  • New PipedService with 4 fallback instances
  • Piped fallback at 2 points in playback chain
  • 0 analyze issues, 38/38 tests pass
