Release Notes
  • Added support for downloading videos via yt-dlp (#37)

  • Keyboard shortcuts can now be customized
  • Experimental fix that allows rewinding live streams/premieres (#163)

  • Options for showing indicators of newly fetched content and a separate new feed
  • Improved comments appearance and now they render nested reply threads
  • Updated autoplay to show the next video with the countdown on the player

  • Premieres are now displayed as premiere instead of just showing the live indicator otx-premiere-metadata

  • Restore the replay icon when the video ended
  • Tabs with channels that don't have a preview yet now fall back to the avatar
  • Show when comments are edited
