+- Share on an episode offers Share link, Share from where you are, and Copy link, with a link to the episode's page on ipx-play that anyone can play; an episode of a private feed offers its own address in the same menu, which says why there is no page for it and warns when the address carries your own access to the feed.

- In the iOS app, Settings has a This device section for the app's server and player token, with a button that makes a token and hands it to the app (#445).
- In the iOS app, the page registers the phone with ipx for its icon's count, and signing out removes it (#433).
- In the iOS app, the player bar shows what CarPlay plays, so it can be paused on the phone after leaving the car, including when the app was opened by the car (#420, #442).
