YTSage v4.2.0 🎉

This release brings significant improvements and fixes to YTSage, focusing on enhanced stability, error handling, format selection, and addressing macOS compatibility.

Here's a breakdown of the changes:

Bug Fixes 🐛

  • ✅ Fixed: FFmpeg Detection on macOS (#10) - Improved FFmpeg check, specifically addressing issues where FFmpeg wasn't being correctly detected on macOS. Thanks to the reporter of issue #10!
  • ✅ Fixed: Incorrect Output Format (MP4 vs WebM) - Resolved an issue where the output was consistently MP4 instead of the selected WebM format.
  • ✅ Fixed: Thumbnail Layout in Fullscreen Mode - Corrected the thumbnail layout when viewing in fullscreen mode for a better visual experience.
  • 🛡️ Improved: Download Thread Stability - Enhanced download thread stability with better exception handling to prevent crashes and ensure more reliable downloads.

Enhancements ✨

  • 💬 Added: "Video Already Downloaded" Pop-up - Implemented a pop-up message to inform users when they attempt to download a video that has already been downloaded. This prevents accidental duplicate downloads and improves user workflow.
  • 🔄 Changed: Default Merge Format to MP4 - The default merge format for downloads is now MP4 instead of MKV, offering wider compatibility and potentially better playback across devices.
  • 📦 Updated: yt-dlp Update Method - The yt-dlp update method is now via PYPI
  • ➕ Added: Format Selection Checkbox - Introduced a checkbox to allow users to easily select their desired format directly within the format table, streamlining the selection process.
  • ➕ Added: Quality Column in Format Table - A new "Quality" column has been added to the format table. This column clarifies the quality differences between various available formats, making format selection more informed.
  • ➕ Added: Notes Column in Format Table - A "Notes" column is now present in the format table. This column provides helpful notes and context for each format, guiding users to choose the best option for their needs.
  • 🔲 Replaced: Merge Subtitle Button with Checkbox - The "Merge Subtitle" functionality is now controlled by a checkbox instead of a button, providing a more intuitive and consistent user interface.
  • 🛠️ Improved: Robust FFmpeg Checks - Further strengthened FFmpeg checks to ensure it is correctly detected and functioning across different operating systems.
  • 🧹 Improved: Resource Cleanup on App Close - Implemented proper cleanup of resources when the application is closed, contributing to better system stability and preventing potential resource leaks.
  • 🚀 Added: Auto-Install FFmpeg - YTSage now attempts to automatically install FFmpeg if it is not found on the system, simplifying the setup process for new users.

Stability & Error Handling 🚦

  • 🚨 Improved: Comprehensive Error Handling - Implemented comprehensive error handling in the main entry point of the application. This significantly enhances the application's robustness by gracefully managing unexpected errors and providing more informative feedback.

Code Refactoring 📂

  • 📂 Refactored: Split ytsage_gui.py into Multiple Modules - The large ytsage_gui.py file has been split into smaller, more manageable modules: ytsage_gui_dialogs.py, ytsage_gui_format_table.py, ytsage_gui_main.py, and ytsage_gui_video_info.py. This improves code organization, maintainability, and makes future development easier.

Removed 🗑️

  • ➖ Removed: FormatID Column - The "FormatID" column has been removed from the format table. This column was deemed less relevant for most users and its removal simplifies the table and improves readability.

Thank you for using YTSage! ❤️
