Added default Live settings in
[includes/db.php](/Users/tyemeclifford/Documents/GH/mediaplayer/includes/db.php)
using https://stream.place/embed/tyclifford.com.
Added Admin → Settings → Live Section controls in
[admin/settings.php](/Users/tyemeclifford/Documents/GH/mediaplayer/admin/settings.php):
enable/disable, live title, and embed URL/iframe input.
Added a homepage Videos / Live toggle in
[index.php](/Users/tyemeclifford/Documents/GH/mediaplayer/index.php).
Videos remains the default view, so the homepage behaves normally until
Live is selected.
Imgur:
Added Imgur URL normalization, embed support, oEmbed/thumbnail hooks,
and external view count scraping support in
[includes/db.php](/Users/tyemeclifford/Documents/GH/mediaplayer/includes/db.php).
Supports imgur.com, albums/galleries, and direct i.imgur.com
photos/GIFs/videos by routing them through Imgur embeds.
Imgur external views now flow into external_view_count, so per-item and
overall site totals include readable Imgur provider counts.
Updated the add-video hint and README docs.
Added view_count database migration/defaults and shared helpers in
[includes/db.php](/Users/tyemeclifford/Documents/GH/mediaplayer/includes/db.php).
Public player and embed.php now increment views.
Homepage and catalogue can display per-video views, total views, and
public stats based on admin settings.
Added Admin → Settings toggles for public view/stat display.
Added Admin → Upkeeping action to restore external view counts from
readable provider pages, with YouTube scraping support first.
Added manual per-video view-count editing in
[admin/edit.php](/Users/tyemeclifford/Documents/GH/mediaplayer/admin/edit.php)
for older local uploads or corrections.
Updated
[README.md](/Users/tyemeclifford/Documents/GH/mediaplayer/README.md)
with the new behavior.
What changed:
Added pretty URL helpers/default setting in
[includes/db.php](/Users/tyemeclifford/Documents/GH/mediaplayer/includes/db.php).
Added root rewrite rules in
[.htaccess](/Users/tyemeclifford/Documents/GH/mediaplayer/.htaccess):/v/<slug>
/all
/search/<query>
Added Admin → Settings “Public URL Style” toggle in
[admin/settings.php](/Users/tyemeclifford/Documents/GH/mediaplayer/admin/settings.php),
defaulting to pretty URLs.
Updated public/player/catalogue/embed/admin preview links to use the
configured URL style.
Added redirects from legacy ?v= and ?q= URLs to pretty routes when
rewriting is enabled.
Documented deployment and fallback behavior in
[README.md](/Users/tyemeclifford/Documents/GH/mediaplayer/README.md).
Added [admin/youtube_import.php (line
1)](/Users/tyemeclifford/Documents/GH/mediaplayer/admin/youtube_import.php:1),
which:
Accepts a channel URL, @handle, or UC... channel ID.
Scrapes the channel /videos page.
Extracts videos from ytInitialData.
Shows a preview with checkboxes.
Imports selected videos into videos and video_sources.
Stores each video as a canonical YouTube watch URL with mime_type =
text/html, so the existing YouTube embed playback path handles it
correctly.
Downloads scraped thumbnails into media/thumbs/ when possible.
Skips duplicates by matching existing remote YouTube URLs.
Also wired it into the admin navigation in [admin/index.php (line
172)](/Users/tyemeclifford/Documents/GH/mediaplayer/admin/index.php:172),
[admin/add.php (line

[admin/edit.php (line
267)](/Users/tyemeclifford/Documents/GH/mediaplayer/admin/edit.php:267),
and [admin/settings.php (line
109)](/Users/tyemeclifford/Documents/GH/mediaplayer/admin/settings.php:109).
Updated [README.md (line
81)](/Users/tyemeclifford/Documents/GH/mediaplayer/README.md:81) with
usage notes.
Changed:
[includes/db.php (line
43)](/Users/tyemeclifford/Documents/GH/mediaplayer/includes/db.php:43)

existing SQLite databases.

resolve playback URLs based on where the source lives.
[catalogue.php (line
79)](/Users/tyemeclifford/Documents/GH/mediaplayer/catalogue.php:79) now
has public search for published videos only.
[README.md (line
