SmoothTube v1.3.0 focuses on light mode polish, fullscreen player cleanup, fresher video metadata, improved Channel page loading, better upload pagination, and overall watch-page refinement.

Highlights

  • Optimized light mode styling across watch pages, cards, lists, and surrounding surfaces for a cleaner and more consistent look.
  • Fixed the embedded player fullscreen border issue and improved fullscreen sizing/alignment so videos fill the available space more cleanly.
  • Improved player edge and corner presentation in light mode so the video area blends better with lighter surfaces.
  • Refreshed video metadata handling so view counts and published / streamed relative time are based on actual timestamps instead of stale cached text.
  • Improved reopening videos from Continue Watching / history so older entries refresh their metadata when revisited.
  • Fixed upload and livestream relative-time formatting so labels like “4 hours ago” stay accurate.
  • Improved Channel page loading for uploads, including better handling for channels where content was not appearing correctly.
  • Improved older upload pagination / Load more behavior for Channel pages.
  • Added a Channel page refresh action to reload cached channel content and fetch newer uploads more reliably.
  • Matched the Channel page refresh button to the Subscriptions page style, including the inline rotating loading indicator.
  • Added additional watch-page, channel-page, and metadata presentation polish across the updated UI.
  • Added title bar branding and refreshed Windows icon resources as part of broader app presentation improvements.

Notes

Taskbar hover-preview icon behavior still needs additional follow-up on Windows shell handling. The app-side icon resource wiring has been improved, but this part is not considered fully resolved in this release.

Download the release package, extract it, and run the included install script (Add-AppDevPackage.ps1) provided. If Windows blocks the script, run PowerShell as Administrator and use:
