Fixed bugs, improved performance, drank way too much coffee.
Everything that used to make this app run smoothly has been either dismissed or mutated in its functionality. Mostly having to do with the Chromecast queue. Used to be that when you added something to the queue it would ask you to confirm or dismiss. This prevented those of us with sensitive touch pads from invoking accidentally queuing up something because the side of your hand touched a thumbnail unintentionally and thereby exiting the running video and immediately running the erroneous video. Used to be that Watch Later was treated differently from other playlists. You could select a video for the queue individually. Now it wants to add the entire Watch Later list to the Chromecast queue. In the last couple of days it started its most egregious behavior. Whenever you add or delete something to/from Watch Later it interrupts the running video and replaces the Chromecast queue with everything in Watch Later. And this isn’t even limited to Watch Later. Add or delete any entry to/from a playlist and the playlist becomes the queue. The ability to select what videos you have queued up has been lost. It feels like sloppy programming while trying to add features without regard to how it affects other functionality. Please return the old functionality.
