The full-screen player

Clicking a card opens it.

  • A locally downloaded video plays immediately with full controls, autostarted and looping.
  • A YouTube card always plays through YouTube's official player, and a Vimeo card does too when there is no local file.
  • Image carousels page with ‹ ›, with ←/→, and a 3 / 8 counter.
  • No file on this machine → "Video not downloaded on this machine" and a Download now button that jumps this card to the front of the background queue.
  • Nothing playable → a plain-language reason and Open original ↗, which opens the post in your system browser.
  • Metadata below: title, @author (linked to the original), the track line, and the full post caption. The caption exists only here, never on the card.
  • Being converted"Converting this file so it can play here. It stays on the board — this takes a minute for a big clip."
  • An audio card opens to plain audio controls, started, with no picture.
  • Actions: ⇄ Move, ⟳ Re-sync, ⬇ Video, ♪ Music, ⬇ Image, ⧉ Copy, × Delete — the three download buttons on the same terms as on the card (section 3), so a YouTube card shows none of them and a silent clip shows no ♪ Music.
  • Esc closes; so does clicking the backdrop.
