The transparent interaction overlay (click=play/pause, wheel=volume, keeps
keyboard focus off the cross-origin iframe) also blocked YouTube's own settings
menu, which expands down over the video past the overlay: items below the first
few were unclickable, and 'More options' made it worse.
Now the overlay yields to native controls. Clicking a native control (gear/seek/
CC) moves focus into the player iframe — the only cross-origin signal available —
which we detect (window blur + getIframe() focus check) to drop the overlay's
pointer-events, so the whole menu is navigable at any height. A discreet badge
signals native mode; moving the pointer off the video (or the window regaining
focus) re-arms the click/scroll/keyboard shortcuts.
Quality: the IFrame API's setPlaybackQuality/suggestedQuality are hard no-ops now,
so the real lever is the rendered player size — bump the modal max-w-4xl -> 6xl so
YouTube's ABR targets a higher resolution — plus a best-effort 'vq=hd1080' URL hint.

Two saved-to-account playback settings on the player's prev/next bar (any queued
player — feed or playlist): Auto-advance (Off/Next/Prev/Random — what plays when a
video ends) and Loop (Off / One = repeat the current video / All = wrap the list
at its ends; a single-item list repeats). Stored in users.preferences
(playerAutoAdvance/playerLoop), read from the cached me + written via savePrefs so
they apply everywhere and survive reloads.
The feed's player queue is now the live filtered feed with the watch-state filter
NOT applied — marking the current video watched keeps it in the sequence (no
reindex/reload mid-play), while a hidden video still drops out. Removes the old
frozen-queue workaround and the boolean autoAdvance prop. i18n en/hu/de.
Adds player-modal shortcuts and keeps keyboard focus on the modal (not the
cross-origin player iframe) on open and on player-ready, so they work until you
click into YouTube's native controls:
- F: toggle fullscreen (the player stage element, so the volume flash stays
visible; a :fullscreen CSS rule drops the 16:9 letterbox). Esc in fullscreen
exits fullscreen only, without also closing the modal.
- Space: play/pause (ignored while a button/input is focused).
- Scroll wheel over the video: volume up/down with an auto-fading volume-bar
overlay. A transparent interaction layer over the iframe catches the wheel
(the cross-origin iframe otherwise swallows it) and maps click to play/pause;
it leaves the bottom strip uncovered so YouTube's native control bar (seek /
settings / captions / fullscreen) stays usable, and is hidden on an embed
error so the 'Open on YouTube' CTA stays clickable.

The in-app IFrame player showed YouTube's bare 'Video unavailable' screen
with no way out when a video couldn't be embedded (auto-generated Topic
art-tracks disable embedding -> error 101/150; removed/private -> 100).
Catch the IFrame onError and overlay a clear message + 'Open on YouTube'
button, with a tailored note for embedding-disabled videos.
PlayerModal now accepts an optional queue + startIndex. The active item drives the
player; it recreates per item (reusing the single-video resume / auto-watch / progress
logic), auto-advances to the next item when one ends, and shows Previous / Next controls
with an N / M indicator. The Playlists page passes the playlist as the queue from Play all
or a clicked row. Trilingual previous/next strings.
Feed, VideoCard, Sidebar, PlayerModal, Channels, Stats, SettingsPanel,
OnboardingWizard, NotificationCenter, Toaster, ErrorBoundary and the relativeTime
helper are now fully translated in Hungarian, English and German, each with its own
locale area file (auto-loaded). Key parity verified across all three languages.
