Jonathan Sykes d15d9021b7 Add cache cap, playlist export/import, yt-dlp build flag 
Cache cap: dropdown setting (no limit / 1/2/5/10 GB) stored in
settings.cacheCap (actual eviction handled by native side).
Export: downloads playlists as JSON via Blob. Import: file reader
merges new playlists by id. yt-dlp: feature gate 'embed-ytdlp'
(default on), skip with --no-default-features for faster debug builds.

Files:
- frontend/app.js: exportPlaylists/importPlaylists, cache cap select
- src-tauri/Cargo.toml: [features] embed-ytdlp
- src-tauri/src/main.rs: #[cfg(feature = embed-ytdlp)] guards

YT Player — Improvement Backlog

The /loop works through this top-to-bottom, one item per iteration. Tick an item ([x]) only after it builds, verifies, and is committed + pushed. Add new ideas to the bottom as they come up.

Build & verify protocol (every iteration)

  1. Edit the canonical source in WSL (~/development/personal/ytplayer).
  2. Sync changed files individually into C:\ytbuild\ytplayer — never Copy-Item -Recurse onto an existing dir (it nests as frontend\frontend).
  3. npx tauri build in C:\ytbuild\ytplayer.
  4. Launch with --remote-debugging-port=922x and verify via CDP/screenshot (retry the launch a few times — Smart App Control is intermittent).
  5. Only if it builds and verifies: refresh releases/, commit (no AI attribution), git push origin main, then tick the item here.

UX / polish

  • Empty-state designs for empty playlists and empty history (match the new hero).
  • Loading skeletons for search results instead of a bare "Searching…".
  • Keyboard-shortcut help overlay (press ?), listing space / arrows / f / m.
  • Download/preload progress indicator on cards (percent or a bar, not just a pulse).
  • Remember and restore the last playback position per video.
  • Toast queue (stack multiple toasts instead of replacing).

Features

  • Drag-to-reorder videos within a playlist.
  • "Up next" queue panel showing the autoplay queue.
  • Persistent mini now-playing bar when browsing other views.
  • Cache size cap in Settings (auto-evict oldest past a limit).
  • Export / import playlists as JSON.
  • More / trending quick-search chips on the hero, rotated.

Robustness

  • Sanitize video_id in cache_download (reject path separators).
  • Gate the embedded yt-dlp behind a build flag so debug builds compile faster.
  • Surface yt-dlp extraction failures with a retry button.
