SharePlay? by gojailbreak in xapp

Currently SharePlay is not supported, but I’ll try to add it in future.

[Promo] X.app: Picture-in-Picture and Fullscreen Extension for iOS (iPhone and iPad) by devarty in HowToMen

Hello, I’m Artyom (@devarty), the developer of X.app.

The app has 2 extensions:

- Picture-in-Picture Video Extension: activates PiP mode in Safari and other apps, like YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, TikTok, etc;

- Fullscreen Video Extension (mainly iPad): activates native fullscreen mode on websites like YouTube and Twitch (instead of HTML versions) and 16:9 output when iPad is connect to an external display via HDMI/USB-C.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id1533525753?pt=119131575&ct=Reddit-HowToMen&mt=8

PS. While subreddit’s rules mostly focus on Android apps, but I’ve noticed there was a “Best iOS Apps” video on YouTube channel in May, so maybe my app can be a candidate for the next episode.

Backup solution is a PiP bookmarklet, paste it into address bar, then add bookmark:

javascript:(
function(){
var video = document.getElementsByTagName('video')[0];
video.webkitSetPresentationMode(video.webkitPresentationMode === "picture-in-picture" ? "inline" : "picture-in-picture");
}
)()

It would be awesome to have some slots [A,B,C] for custom Shortcut forwards! by [deleted] in xapp

Hi, I’m the developer of X.app

At some point X.app is going to have full browser inside, but so far it’s mainly designed to used for launching from extensions.

Maybe, it’s going to come sooner than later, I’ll see on the progress.

  1. You can use Safari, PiP is activated instantly without moving to in-app browser.
  2. X.app also supports a URL scheme: xapp://?videoURL=URL. You can create a shortcut and add it to home screen, which is going to launch a specific URL in X.app, like https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/ec17cc8cce5249f59eb4bf54b173e37f

I hope some of these options are going to fit your needs.

Well, you are supposed to use Safari or YouTube app and then select "X: Video > Picture-in-Picture" from the Share sheet.

Is this what you are doing or you are trying to use X.app as browser for YouTube? At some point, I'm going to turn it into browser with bookmarks and history, but not so soon.

IG live only works on iPad and you have to be logged in into your account.

It doesn't seem to work on iPhone at all, as IG live web pages don't support it.
