Nativune 0.1.27

Nativune is an unofficial, native Windows desktop app for YouTube Music. It shows the official YouTube Music website in its own window and adds native controls such as a Compact mini player, tray and taskbar buttons. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Google or YouTube, and it does not download media or use a private playback API. It blocks ads only if you turn that on yourself (off by default).

Unsigned build. The installer is not yet Authenticode-signed, so Windows may show Unknown Publisher or a Microsoft Defender SmartScreen warning. Download only from this page and check the SHA-256 before running it.

What's new

This release prepares Nativune for package managers (winget and Chocolatey). The packages themselves are not published yet.

  • Quiet uninstall. Setup now registers a quiet uninstall command, so tools like winget can remove Nativune without a dialog. Uninstalling now fails with a clear error if Nativune is still running, instead of reporting success.
  • --silent --install-prerequisites. Scripted installs can now let Setup download and install missing prerequisites (for example the Windows App Runtime) from their official Microsoft sources without asking. Plain --silent still never installs prerequisites.

Heads-up: this update is a full download

Setup changed (version 1.0.2), so updating from 0.1.26 downloads the full installer. Later releases can be quick updates again.

Install

  1. Download Nativune-Setup.exe and SHA256SUMS.txt from this release.
  2. In PowerShell run Get-FileHash .\Nativune-Setup.exe -Algorithm SHA256 and compare it with SHA256SUMS.txt. Expected: 2c4ddc5a9ca6a456cef87e1892df81e3c8a1b2feab97932d497de3889e19794e.
  3. Run Setup. It checks for the Microsoft .NET 10 Runtime, Windows App SDK, VC++ runtime and WebView2, and asks before installing any that are missing. Default location: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Nativune. Upgrades keep your profile and settings.

If you already have Nativune 0.1.10 or later, the update button in the toolbar offers this version.

Build and known limits

Built by CI run 36234350684 from commit 5ea0def; the files here are that run's output, checked again after download. Windows x64 only. Setup version 1.0.2.

Before release, these passed:

  • the app self-check and native-fixture;
  • the installer checks, including the new switch rules;
  • the release build's check that test-only and benchmark code is removed;
  • winget validate on manifests rendered from the release, and a choco pack of the Chocolatey package in CI.

Not yet checked: a real winget install or choco install, and the real prerequisite download under --install-prerequisites.
