Fixed

  • A preview that Finder had already closed no longer starts again, out of sight and with sound. Finder lays a closed preview out once more (for example in Gallery view), and that layout pass reloaded and restarted the video. The load/start/stop decision now lives in PreviewPlaybackLifecycle: a closed preview stays stopped until it is prepared or shown again.
  • The play button works again after "Playback stopped". stop() unloads the media; pressing play now reloads the last file instead of doing nothing.
  • In the Space window, moving to a file that Quick Look shows with another previewer (for example an AVI) no longer leaves the previous video playing in the background. Quick Look does not tell the extension; Finder does close its column preview of the previous file at that moment, and a closed preview of the playing file now stops it. This works in column view and whenever the Finder preview pane is open.

Changed

  • Lifecycle diagnostics in the unified log: [ql] prepare / autoplay / will-appear / did-disappear / stop, [session] … and [load] / [stop] per player.
  • MediaPreviewPlayer.loadedFileURL exposes the file last passed to loadMedia(from:).

Known Issues

  • Gallery view, and list or icon view without the preview pane: when Finder switches to a file shown by another previewer (.mp4, .mov, .avi), the previous MKVQuickLook preview keeps playing until Finder closes it. Finder sends the extension no signal in these cases.
  • Rare, intermittent freeze inside VLCKit while a player is destroyed: two VLCKit cleanup threads deadlock on VLC's configuration lock. Reproduced 3 times in a load/stop stress program and in 2 renderer smoke-test runs, then 0 times in 10 alternating runs of the 0.1.7 and 0.1.8 player code. The trigger is not known, and it is not known whether 0.1.8 made it more likely.
  • Renderer smoke tests can hang when VLCKit produces no video output, because stopping the player then blocks. Run them with -test-timeouts-enabled YES -default-test-execution-time-allowance 60.
  • All Known Issues of 0.1.8 remain.
