Before this commit, we tweaked the subtitle position by modifying the
VTT file, line by line with a regex because I did not know it was
possible to use CSS for it.
But apparently there are Shadow DOM elements that we can use instead.
This new approach improves:
- Wrapping long lines. Before, the text would go off the edge of the
screen. Now it wraps intelligently.
- The subtitles move up to get out of the way of the controls when
those are visible.
Before this change, .torrent files would only be associated to
WebTorrent Desktop if another torrent client (like Transmission) was
installed on the system.
That's because one of the user's apps needs to define
"UTExportedTypeDeclarations".
On a fresh machine, without Transmission, WebTorrent Desktop now
associates .torrent files correctly.
So it will appear in the "Open With..." menu and the webtorrent
.torrent icon will be used for .torrent files.
Closes#542.
If there's a message returned by the given remote URL, then it will
show up for the user.
Useful in situations where the auto-updater is not working, or if
there's a security issue.
I don't think it matters whether the open comes from onOpen (opening
magnet, .torrent file, dragging file to dock, menu item) or from
dragging to the window.
These should use the same code path. The only relevant information is
the page of the app that we're on.
This change unifies the two methods, and supports dragging .torrent
files or creating a torrent when the player is active, if the dragged
files are not .srt or .vtt. We go back to the list, or to the create
torrent page in these situations, so it's not confusing for the user.
Always close open modals when handling an open.
- Handles more than 2 pages in the history robustly now!
- When self._pending is true, all navigations are ignored.
- No more bug with back() being called twice too quickly.
- Remove "leaky abstraction" methods like clearPending() and pending()
- Add backToFirst() that properly unloads each page as it goes back to
the first one.
- Enhance clearForward() to support removing a specific page from the
forward stack, instead of nuking the whole thing.
What is WebTorrent, LLC?
WebTorrent, LLC is the legal entity that runs the WebTorrent project.
WebTorrent is still, and always will be, non-profit, open source, free
software.
There are no plans to make a profit from WebTorrent.
This means people who add a lot of torrents will always have their latest torrents at the top when they open the app, instead of having to scroll all the way down
