MeeTube 3.2.3 Mirage

Pick your spinner and icon, Shorts autoscroll, a mini player that rides the bottom bar

📅 2026-10-31 · closes #85, #114, #117, #118, #120, #121, #122, #123, #124, #125, #127, #129, #130, #132 and #134

✨ New

• Pick your loading spinner. Customization has Neon ring, Frosted glass, Cookie, Frosted cookie and a liquid glass set: Liquid ring, Glass orb, Liquid blob and Glass orbit. One choice changes every spinner in the app, the pull to refresh circle included (#114).
• More app icons. Eight icons named by look: Classic, Black Heart, Fantasy, Glass Heart, OG Glass, OG Play, OG Neon and Fiery Blaze. Each is its shape alone on a clear background, on the home screen, in Settings and on the splash.
• A launch animation. A play symbol grows in and melts into frosted glass over Home, the same for every icon, in under a second.
• Shorts autoscroll. When a short ends, play it again or move on to the next one, which slides up as a swipe does. Auto-scroll is also in a short's menu (#134).
• Save, share and import your settings. Settings > Backup saves them to a file or shares them with a friend. Only settings travel, never accounts, linked devices, history, caches or passwords, and an import keeps this phone's passwords.
• Hide the red watched line on thumbnails with a switch in Customization (#132).
• A hint on a held tab. Holding a bottom bar tab shows a glass pill: "Tabs customization" with tab names on, or the tab's name and "Change" with them off. A tap opens Settings > Tabs (#130).
• Tap the open tab to refresh. With its feed at the top, tapping the tab you are on refreshes it like a pull. A scrolled feed still glides to the top.
• Upload date on the watch page. Channel, subscribers, views and when it went up ("3 days ago"), on one line.
• More qualities on more phones. The quality sheet also lists the rungs your phone's decoder reports beyond it, such as 2160p60, as YouTube does. If one really can't play, the video drops back to 1080p (#85).

🛠️ Changed

• The player lock is glass. The lock button and the locked state sit on the player's glass like its other buttons. Locked reads "Locked · tap to unlock" with a shut padlock, and both drag anywhere over the video and keep their spot (#124, #127).
• The mini player rides the bottom bar. On Home, Search and channel pages a card at a bottom corner slides down with a small bounce when a scroll hides the bar, and back up with it. Swiping the player down lands straight on it (#125).
• The refresh sound is off by default. Switch it on in Customization (#120).
• A bouncier bottom bar drag. A drag starts anywhere on the bar, the bar bounces out under your finger, the tab under the lens pops and the tab glow follows the finger.
• A linear brightness swipe in fullscreen: half way up is half the brightness (#129).
• Controls after a play from outside. A play from headphones, the lock screen or the notification brings up the controls (#121).
• A quality pick is for one video. A pick in the player's quality sheet holds for that video; the next one opens at your Settings quality, and Auto in the sheet goes back to it.
• A softer Shorts edge fade. Half as wide, eased at both ends, and on a zoomed or moved short it stays on the video's real edges (#117).
• The pull to refresh disc is see-through glass.
• The diagnostic log lists the last three reasons the app closed.

🐛 Fixed

• The bottom bar in landscape sits centred at a comfortable width instead of across the whole screen, on Search and channel pages too (#118).
• Picking 1080p no longer plays 240p on videos played from HLS (#58).
• Hide Up next hides the whole section, with no label, placeholder rows or chips (#122).
• The Up next card in fullscreen sizes to its content instead of spanning the screen (#123).
• Home after a minimize no longer stays in two columns in portrait after the phone was turned, and the Shorts tab keeps its two columns when it turns.
• The first launch after an install shows no splash icon instead of the wrong one.
