Option to hide the left sidebar and other issues

Open Sacolevas opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

Hello,

I just re-discovered minitube. It was about three years ago that I attempted using it on Linux, but it was heavy on resources and extremely buggy, so I stopped using it until just a few days ago that I was looking again for alternatives for a youtube viewer.

Now, it is lighter on resources and so far not buggy, and I would like to use continously, but I have some issues and one question.

Issue 1: Is there a way to hide the left sidebar (you can drag and reduce its width but only up to certain point)? Preferibly also with a keyboard shotcut? You might say that this is the same than fullscreen or compact mode, but it is not, because I like to keep seeing the menu bar and the controls. Actually compact mode is not very useful right now, because it is basically the same as fullscreen move)

Issue 2: If you are using mpv, it is possible to still use more of the mpv keyboard shortcuts like changing volume or advance/seek the video, not just pause and play? Fullscreen and Compact mode without controls are not useful because of that.

Issue 3: It is possible for an user to disable automatic play after a video ends? I hate the automatic play in youtube (unless it is a playlist I have created) and here even if I choose the "manually start playing", once a video ends, it starts with the next in the queue (which usually is a video you dont want to play). In other words, that the user can choose the option "Stop after this video" permanent. Right now, if I want to avoid automatic play, I have to manually repeat the choice "Stop after this video" every time a video starts because even if you chose it one time, this doesn't keep the setting for the next videos.

Issue 4: When I take a snapshot, an status bar appears indicating where the snapshot was saved, but this status bar doesn't dissapear unless I close the application and I have no choice to hide it. There should be an option to hide the status bar or that these notifications dissapear after a few seconds.

Thanks for your attention and best wishes,

Sacolevas
