There was no icon system at all. Transport buttons called
QStyle.standardIcon(SP_MediaPlay), which returns the platform theme's dark
monochrome glyph -- painted onto the app's saturated red buttons at a fixed
36px with no text, that is the black square. Everything else called an icon
was an emoji baked into en.json, which is tofu wherever the emoji font is
missing. Qt stylesheets cannot recolour a QIcon, so the colour is an argument
to the new helper; that is the whole fix.
The SVGs are drawn here rather than vendored, which keeps a third-party
licence out of the tree, and they live in the module rather than as asset
files, which keeps them out of package-data and safe in a frozen build.
Tooltips were the other half: three widgets in the entire application had one
and nothing set an accessible name. Filling that in at the call sites would
have meant editing well over a hundred of them, most in upstream-owned files.
Instead one application-level event filter handles QEvent.Polish, which Qt
sends to every widget once before it is shown -- so it also reaches dialogs
built by upstream code, and survives the next merge. It maps placeholder
emoji to icons, fills empty tooltips from the button text, and logs icon-only
buttons that still have none so the gaps are findable.
StyleSheet.MAIN styles the window, inputs, buttons and tables and nothing
else, so the main tab bar, combos, sliders, lists, menus, splitters, tooltips
and the horizontal scrollbar fell through to the platform style. EXTRA_QSS
covers them, in a fork-owned module appended at the one application site.
SmoothTabWidget names its frame "tabContent" with the comment "We draw border
on content instead" -- that rule existed only inside two dialogs, and now
exists for the main window too.
Two corrections to rules that were already there: the pressed style changed
the padding, shifting every label two pixels and clipping fixed-width icon
buttons, and checkboxes were fully rounded, which reads as a radio button
rather than an on/off toggle.
Verified by screenshot on the real display: tab bar, buttons, combo carets
and checkboxes all render as intended, and all 35 icons rasterise non-empty.

The segfault: Qt destroys and recreates a widget's QOpenGLContext whenever it
moves to another top-level window, then calls initializeGL() again. libmpv
permits one render context per handle, so the second creation failed with
"There is already a mpv_render_context set" -- and the except branch assigned
self._render_ctx = None, dropping the last Python reference to the first
context, which libmpv was still holding a function pointer into. python-mpv's
MpvRenderContext has no __del__ and free() does not unregister the callback,
so the ctypes trampoline was collected while registered and the next frame
notification jumped into freed memory.
Two invariants fix it. initializeGL() now tears down any existing render
context first, so a second call is an ordinary recreation. Teardown clears
update_cb, calls free() with the GL context current, and only then drops the
reference -- and it is connected to QOpenGLContext.aboutToBeDestroyed, so it
runs before the GL context dies instead of never. The local reference during
teardown is load-bearing: it is what keeps the trampoline alive until free()
returns.
Three things were destroying that context. Fullscreen reparented the panel
into a new top-level window (twice per toggle) and put it back at the end of
the splitter, losing the pane layout; it now fullscreens the main window and
hides the chrome, reparenting nothing. The tab cross-fade and the dialog blur
both grab() the widget tree, which on an OpenGL surface forces a framebuffer
readback and returns black -- the fade is skipped for pages holding the video,
and dialogs dim rather than blur.
Verified on a real Wayland GL context: ten forced context destroy/recreate
cycles re-establish the render context every time, and the full app survives
tab switching, six fullscreen toggles and resizes with no render-context
error and a clean exit. Before this, the same startup dumped core.
Also here because they are one-line consequences of touching _create_mpv: an
explicit per-platform hwdec list ending in software decoding, and the restored
volume actually reaching mpv -- the slider set its value before connecting its
signal, so playback always started at 100.

WatchPage now records every played video in watch_history, saves the
playback position every 5 seconds and on stop/end (completed at >=95%),
and seeks back on replay when player.resume is "auto" - resume kicks in
between 30 seconds and 95% of the duration. The play queue persists
across restarts and reorders/removals write through immediately; the
main window's closeEvent flushes position and queue and releases libmpv.
PlayerPanel gains an automatic stall-retry: YouTube's CDN intermittently
serves stalled streams to non-browser clients (reproduced ~1/3 of
attempts headless with identical code), and a reload re-resolves onto a
healthy node - two retries after 25s of no playback, then a user-facing
error.
ytsage_constants now prepends the managed-binaries dir to PATH so
yt-dlp subprocesses (including mpv's ytdl_hook) can find the managed
Deno runtime - previously nothing exported APP_BIN_DIR, so the deno
integration silently never worked.

New ytsage/gui/ytsage_gui_player.py:
- MpvRenderWidget hosts libmpv through MpvRenderContext in a
QOpenGLWidget - works on native Wayland where wid-embedding cannot -
with all mpv-thread callbacks marshalled to the GUI thread via queued
signals only.
- PlayerPanel adds transport controls: play/pause, seek slider, time
display, quality selector (caps ytdl-format height and reloads in
place), speed, volume (persisted), subtitle toggle, fullscreen
(reparent to top-level window), and Space/F/Escape keys.
- Playback resolves watch URLs through mpv's ytdl_hook pointed at the
app-managed SHA256-verified yt-dlp binary (script-opts
ytdl_hook-ytdl_path), inheriting cookies and proxy settings via
ytdl-raw-options - stream freshness, DASH muxing and nsig handling
stay in yt-dlp's hands.
New ytsage/core/ytsage_mpv.py probes libmpv availability; without it
the Watch UI shows a per-OS install hint and everything else works.
python-mpv added to dependencies (libmpv itself is a system package).
Config gains player.* and feed.* defaults.
Verified on Wayland: real YouTube video streams with position/duration
signals flowing and no thread-safety errors.
