OpenTubeX 0.36.1

What's new in 0.36.1

More improvements

• Keep quick settings together by category and smoothly drag to reorder quick settings, navigation items, and fullscreen actions. (#1963)
• Desktop sync and subscription refreshes run heavy processing in the background to keep the interface more responsive. (#1964)
• Switches now show a checkmark when on and a dash when off, making their state easier to recognize. (#1966)
• External media pages now match YouTube's metadata and ratings layout, including relative publication age, thumb icons, and the likes/dislikes ratio bar. (#1967)
• Loading desktop tabs keep their icons visible and show a glowing bottom-edge sweep with subtly muted text; subscription tabs retain their normal appearance while refreshing. Appearance settings can restore the classic loading dot. (#1971)
• Playing desktop tabs keep their icons and avatars, with a small corner play badge showing playback. (#1974)
• The Shorts volume slider now matches the regular player's thin track, accent-colored fill, and white thumb. (#1976)
• Hover over the seek bar to see a video’s most replayed moments, or hide the popularity graph in Distraction Free settings. (#1992, #1994)
• Navigation and tab controls now use Material 3 styling with clearer active highlights, consistent mobile labels, and shared crossfade animations. (#2025)

• Videos open sooner with the built-in player by fetching watch metadata while preparing the player script and playback token. (#2040)
• Choose which data to include in a backup ZIP, and fix backup exports failing to open the save dialog. (#2036)
• Tab bars now follow the app's shared scrollbar settings, with slimmer thumbs that expand on hover. (#2046)

• The Music Mode headphone badge now cuts out the profile avatar, matching playing-tab badges. (#2047)
• The mobile More menu now uses a Material 3 bottom sheet. Drag handles let you pull More and context menus down to dismiss them, and tapping outside slides them off the screen. (#2039)

• Repair selected playlists or all playlists to restore missing video details after importing YouTube Takeout. (#2056)
• The Entire App untranslated-text option now also restores original channel names in search results. (#2067)
• Browse watch history by date range and channel, with filters that work alongside text search. (#1654, #2085)
• Restore pending watch queue videos in their saved order after restarting OpenTubeX. (#1651, #2082) …
