*AppleTV opens the native app instead of Safari
Most HTML5 video players should work. Compatibility may vary based on DRM restrictions and Safari/macOS versions.
- macOS 14 or later
- Safari 16 or later
I wanted to add Chrome/Firefox support but Safari is the only browser that allows calling PiP without user-interaction - So unless this changes, AutoPiP will be Safari only
As this is my first Swift/Xcode project, I welcome:
- Code reviews and suggestions
- Feature improvements
- Bug reports and fixes
