And here's a quick overview video showing it in action. I'm looking forward to trying it on an actual device tomorrow, I really feel like Apple Vision Pro is going to make such an amazing YouTube experience 🥳

Also, there will no doubt be some bugs, out of a combination of a mad rush plus only having simulator access (until tomorrow morning), but let me know your feedback and I'll be on it!

@christianselig Can you tweak the video playback window so the corner radius is smaller (like what AVPlayerViewController does on visionOS)? That way less content from the edge is cropped 🙏

@khaost not seeing any way to do this, do you have to drop into UIKit…?

@finnvoorhees @khaost yeah, UIViewController has preferredContainerBackgroundStyle which can be set to .hidden

@christianselig I have no interest in buying a gen 1 Vision Pro, but am very pleased in what you’ve come up with here. Lots of people have said their ideas need a lot of tweaking when seen in hardware, looking forward to seeing how Juno evolves 😄

@christianselig have you tried playing “360°” videos?

@christianselig Will you be able to detect 360° videos and play them immersively?

@JetForMe @christianselig That would be insane

@christianselig Love all your work! My first thought after reading about the new app was what will happen if Youtube restricts the API or starts charging money for it’s use? Are you setting yourself up for the same problems down the road? Why not create an app for Peertube (preferably open source)?

@christianselig Nice! One more thing to maybe look into: YouTube supports 3D videos and there are channels that upload 3D content that works great in other headsets. Would be nice if your player could show them in 3D if it doesn’t already!

@christianselig currently YouTube doesn’t really take advantage of the device . There isn’t even a dedicated app. You can use the browser and still watch in 4k and all.
