MinTubeDark: a Floating / Minimized Youtube Player

MinTubeDark

Minimized/Floating Youtube Player for Android (sdk 23+)

This is a personal fork of Mintube.

The original Author/Developer's code and website are found here;

• Website: http://imshyam.github.io/mintube
• Github: https://github.com/imshyam/mintube

Reason behind forking:

1. Dropping legacy code (< sdk23) and an attempt to modernize code

2. fix all of the bugs that annoy me and implement needed fatures; implement auto-rotate (and fixing webview refreshing on auto-rotate), implement immersive mode (sticky) on fullscreen player, redo parts of the UI and change all of the colours (remove legacy code), add higher video quality modes, fix as many of the reported issues generated by Lint (as I can, with my limited Java Knowledge. lol), remove wide screen mode (it's semi-broken in landscape mode anyway), fix rendering issue (aka: drawing white bg in the player), restrict local file system access, enforce https, etc, etc...

3. to Learn more about Java, Android Studio, Lint, etc - by using a smaller app/project; where the codebase isn't gianormous or incredibly hard or difficult to understand.

4. Development of Mintube has been slow with almost zero commits this year.

5. for fun ;)

mintubedark's Issues

Revert / Remove all of the service close code

Currently, I just hide the service close code and do a partial removal in serviceplayer.java, as well as tinkering with the service head code to make sure the player / service head stays on screen (at the bottom)...

Eventually I would like to revert and remove all of the service close code, as I'm not using it. It's provides a bad experience in landscape mode and closing from the Notification try IS the standard way to close MintubeDark.

Playback Shouldn't halt on switching to fullscreen

self explanatory.

work in progress / researching [standard solution didn't work]

from 2 weeks. I checked on several devices, can you please check and fix it. I will be very thankful to you.

Fixes to Drop down menu

• When searching, the menu doesn't truncate when fewer searches are found and it looks ugly incorrect.

• the background also should always be black, never inheriting the dark theme background

When the Player loads a video, The main webview window shouldn't reload to the default youtube page

• I have no idea on how to fix this, But I do find it annoying.

It would be better, if it loaded the previous page or retained the original content on player launch.
I'm not sure how this code works and I've already had a few failed attempts at fixing it...

must read documentation and better understand What Mintube is doing here.

Remove legacy and unused code.

• unused entry points, assets, etc...

They all must go at some point ;)
