Changelog

0.1.1 - 2026-04-09

Added

  • Bundled VLCKit playback backend embedded directly into the Quick Look preview extension.
  • Shared playback layer for the app and Quick Look extension:
    • MediaPreviewPlayer
    • VLCKitMediaPreviewPlayer
    • PreviewContentView
    • VideoLayout
  • Playback diagnostics via unified logging under:
    • subsystem: com.robertwildling.MKVQuickLook
    • category: Playback
  • Host-app playback lab for renderer and layout verification outside Finder.
  • Renderer smoke tests that verify visible video output for real sample media.
  • Metadata tests that verify Launch Services ownership and extension-supported types.
  • UI regression tests for overlay visibility and playback button availability.

Changed

  • Quick Look playback now starts paused by default in all contexts.
  • Compact Finder column preview is non-live summary mode instead of autoplaying media.
  • Finder routing now relies on exported and owned app UTIs plus document claims, not extension registration alone.
  • The play/pause button was moved into the control row to the left of the seek bar.
  • Volume changes while dragging are immediate.
  • Seek dragging is stable and no longer snaps back to the old value after release.
  • Seek and volume controls now emit timestamped diagnostics for latency analysis.

Fixed

  • Finder now reliably selects MKVQuickLook for the supported owned media UTIs.
  • Reflections.mkv now renders through the custom Quick Look path instead of the stock preview.
  • Large-preview renderer regressions where state changed but no visible video frame appeared.
  • MKV centering issues caused by earlier renderer/layout experiments.
  • Immediate autoplay in Finder column preview.
  • Stuck overlay text such as Preparing video surface... after video output becomes visible.
  • Audio muting regressions introduced during paused-start experiments.
  • Pause button becoming unavailable while VLC remained in opening or buffering.

Notes

  • avi remains best-effort support.
  • The current OGG sample in example-videos resolves to audio on this machine, not Theora video.
  • Pure seek-bar click behavior has been strengthened again in this version and should be revalidated in Finder on the target machine.
