Highlights

  • **YouTube lane.** Search, playlists and channels play through the same shell as everything else, with live/upcoming handling, SponsorBlock and cookie settings, and video watch history counted in your stats.
  • **Playback that recovers.** Persistent mpv sessions, provider fallback with endpoint-health diagnostics, and honest cancellation — a dead source retries the next one instead of looping.
  • **Share links.** `kunai://` round trips, so a title (and timestamp) can be handed to someone else or reopened later.
  • **Offline and downloads.** Downloaded episodes play through the same path as streamed ones, so resume, subtitles and history behave identically.
  • **New surfaces.** Up Next queue, playlists, notifications, release calendar and a details sheet, plus a reworked settings shell.
  • **Native installer.** Self-contained binaries with a versioned layout and channel-aware `kunai upgrade` / `kunai uninstall`.

Before you upgrade

  • YouTube playback needs `yt-dlp` on your `PATH`.
  • Age-restricted YouTube content needs cookies you supply yourself.
  • The provider relay stays user-owned — Kunai ships no shared public relay.
