StreamXR v0.101.7: Explore tabs, playlists, end screens, Follow your head and Add to queue

[FauxxYT]

The biggest update yet: more of YouTube, right inside your headset. 🥽✨

✨ What's new

• 🧭 Explore's new tabs: Live, Gaming, Music, Hype, Courses, Podcasts and Memberships, each with its sections as pills (Gaming's game shelves too, signed in) and "View all" behind each one. Podcasts show with their square covers.
• 📃 See a playlist before playing it: click a playlist card anywhere (Explore, You, Search, Channel, Up Next) to open its page: details, Play all, Shuffle, Save, and its videos as a list.
• 📋 Add to queue: point at a video card and click the queue button on its thumbnail. The queue gets its own tab in Up Next, where you can Clear it or Save it as a new playlist (named on the VR keyboard), to Watch later, or to one of your playlists.
• ℹ️ Info cards: a Cards button on the controls panel lists the video's cards, and each card's teaser pops up at the right moment (click it to watch).
• 🔚 End screens: when a video's end screen starts, Up Next shows its suggested videos, playlists and channels, and Autoplay (now a button on the controls panel) shows what's next with a countdown.
• 🧲 Follow your head: turn it on in Settings → 2D Cinema, and on regular videos the screen and panels glide back in front of you when you turn, with adjustable delay and speed.
• ⭐ Channel memberships: members-only videos say so and show their thumbnail; a channel's Membership tab shows its levels and perks; and on channels you're a member of, you get your level, perks, members-only videos and posts.
• 🎛️ A wider controls panel with room for the new buttons, and Settings tabs that scroll.

🩹 Fixes

• No more seams on 360° cubemap videos.
• The Channel panel's Subscribe button shows the right state.
• Shuffle shuffles the whole playlist.
• Many smaller fixes (full list in the changelog).

🫶 Thanks

• u/boatOV for asking for Follow your head.
