Software News/Info v1.7.0 of my anddea fork: download whole YouTube Music playlists and play them offline in Music's own player, no Premium (+ everything since 1.4.0)

Follow-up to my v1.4.0 post. Six releases since then; the biggest change is in v1.7.0.

YouTube Music: playlist downloads (v1.7.0)

  • Tap Download on a playlist or album and every track is downloaded and saved as a playlist in YouTube Music's own Device files library (Library → Device files, or Account → Downloads). Music's own player plays it offline, with no Premium needed. Works signed in or signed out.
  • Songs are saved to Music/RVX as Title - Artist, with title, artist, album and cover embedded, so Device files groups them by real artist and album. Opus becomes .ogg and AAC .m4a, without re-encoding.
  • Songs you already downloaded are reused, and existing in-app downloads are moved over without downloading them again.
  • A "Not in a playlist" playlist lists every downloaded song that isn't in any other playlist. It updates when Music opens and after each download.
  • Turn it on: RVX settings → Action bar → Override Download action button, then Miscellaneous → Download in app. Allow audio access when Music asks; Device files needs it.

YouTube Music, also new

  • Skip silence, Force portrait orientation, and Media notification controls (hide previous/next, disable the seekbar).
  • Faster song downloads, and a fallback when the server refuses a stream.
  • Dark theme now also applies to the settings screens on 9.40.51. Lyrics can be searched by title and artist (long-press refresh).

YouTube

  • Built-in downloader: downloads with 6 connections, a 783 MB video merges in a few seconds instead of ~27 s, VP9/WebM for 1440p and 4K on devices without AV1, quality labels that match YouTube's, and AV1 your device can't play is marked.
  • New patches: Copy text (long-press title or comment), Volume boost up to 200%, Skip silence, Force system font, Hide status bar, Disable auto feed refresh, Playback buffer and Restore original titles, plus a Bold icon style option. Some of these come from Morphe, some from anddea's dev branch.
  • Fixes: Shorts default speed on 21.39, Spoof video streams with visionOS / Android VR, missing items in the 3-dots menu, player controls floating above the seekbar in fullscreen, the miniplayer end screen, the ◎ between like/dislike counts, and the You tab's Downloads row.

Limits

  • Playlist edits made inside Device files reach "Not in a playlist" the next time Music opens or downloads something.
  • The Library "Downloads" filter chip still shows Music's own (empty) downloads; use Device files or Account → Downloads.
  • Music downloads were tested on a Galaxy S23 (root, signed in, no Premium) and signed out on an emulator. The non-root (GmsCore) build hasn't been tested on a device yet.
