Nativune 0.1.29

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

  • Quieter, more frequent update checks. With Check for updates automatically on (the default), Nativune now checks every 3 hours instead of every 24, and once after the PC wakes if a check came due while it slept.
    • When an update is found, only the update button changes: it gets its dot and accent colour, and the Compact button and tray tooltip mention the update. No bar, no dialog, no download.
    • Automatic checks no longer flash "Checking…" on the button, and a failed automatic check no longer clears a known update. The failure is only logged.
    • Clicking Update while a quiet check is running now works: it opens the update dialog if an update is known, or shows that check's result as usual.
    • If you turned automatic checks off, they stay off.

Quick update

Setup is unchanged (version 1.0.2), so updating from 0.1.28 is a quick update: only the changed app files are downloaded.

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: a3e81545dd076676ec1341c5f37bfe15389ec7828eb9ab6a80c9cac85da90d11.
  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 36268492735 from commit de66489; 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 release build's check that test-only and benchmark code is removed;
  • the release script's check of the manifest, ZIP contents, checksums and quick-update data;
  • an end-to-end test that runs the installed app against a local fake update server: the button was marked with no "Checking…" state or bar, and a later failed check kept the mark.

Not tested: a real sleep and wake, and clicking Update while a quiet check is running.
