• Patch release to trigger pub.dev documentation refresh.

May 31, 2026

• Adds credentialless to YoutubePlayerController and YoutubePlayerController.fromVideoId. On web, enables credentialless iframe mode for pages with Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy set.
• Adds videoStateUpdateInterval to YoutubePlayerParams. Controls how often (in milliseconds) the player polls for current time and loaded fraction while playing. Defaults to 100 (10 Hz), preserving existing behaviour.
• Improves fullscreen-on-rotate transitions. The overlay now animates smoothly when the device rotates into and out of landscape.
• Fixes fullscreen button not appearing on Web.
• Fixes videoUrl getter returning a quote-wrapped string on some platforms.
• Fixes playlist and availablePlaybackRates throwing a FormatException when called before a playlist or video is loaded.
• Fixes null crash when getPlaylist returns an empty response.
• Broadens loadVideo to accept all YouTube URL formats: watch, youtu.be, /shorts/, /embed/, and music.youtube.com.

New Features

• Fullscreen navigation is no longer broken. Entering and exiting fullscreen is now smooth and works correctly across all supported platforms. Auto-enters fullscreen on landscape rotation; supports swipe-up/down gesture.
• Adds YoutubePlayerThumbnail widget. Shows the video thumbnail and only creates the WebView when the user taps, making it ideal for lists.
• Adds privacyEnhancedMode to YoutubePlayerParams (default true). Uses youtube-nocookie.com so YouTube won't track visitors unless they play the video.
