- Format table: a missing acodec was treated as "has audio", skipping
the +bestaudio merge and producing silent videos for extractors that
omit the field.
- Progress bar: separate video/audio stream downloads each reported
0-100%, making the bar jump backwards; per-phase scaling now maps the
two streams onto 0-50/50-100.
- Custom commands: parse with shlex (quoted arguments with spaces were
shredded by str.split), keep POSIX mode off on Windows so backslash
paths survive, hide the console window like every other call site,
close the stdout pipe, and support cancellation of a running command.
- Settings dialog: _("settings", "error_saving", ...) passed two
positional args to the i18n helper, raising TypeError inside the
except handler instead of showing the intended error dialog.
- ffmpeg on Windows: Path(os.getenv("LOCALAPPDATA")) crashed with
TypeError when the variable is unset; fall back to the standard
AppData/Local location.
- Version cache: cached path (str) was compared against a Path, so the
cache never hit and every version query spawned a subprocess.

Highlight AC3/EAC3 surround-sound formats in the GUI format table and include channel/bitrate details where available. Also relax the audio-only filter so formats without filesize can still be shown.
After populating the format table, read default_video_quality from ConfigManager and attempt to auto-select a matching video format (by resolution/height). If a matching video format is found it is checked and handle_checkbox_click is invoked to trigger selection side-effects; if not, the first (highest-quality) format is selected as a fallback. Existing visibility filtering via filter_formats is still applied afterward.
Format table: when in playlist mode and the format has a video codec, prefix the quality and (when available) resolution with "≤ " to indicate an upper-bound. Resolution is only prefixed if it's not "N/A".
Main UI: replace the old checkbox-list lookup with scanning the format_table rows to find the checked checkbox widget, pick the correct resolution column depending on playlist mode, strip any leading "≤ " and use that as the selected resolution. This fixes resolution selection for playlist entries and ensures the displayed "≤" semantics are handled when extracting values.
Previously the code assumed the height was always the second value in the "WxH" resolution string. This change splits the resolution into parts, verifies there are two components, and uses the smaller dimension (min) as the height to correctly classify vertical videos. Also avoids potential index errors when the resolution string is malformed.
Introduce a "generic_mode" option to allow validating/downloading from non-YouTube sites and wire it through the UI, config, and validation logic. Key changes:
- Add generic_mode default to ConfigManager and persist setting from DownloadSettingsDialog (checkbox + help text).
- Extend validate_video_url to accept a generic_mode flag and allow any http/https URL with a domain when enabled; pass this flag from Analysis and Download flows.
- Update YTSageApp to load/save generic_mode, update URL placeholder and settings tooltip behavior, and refresh tooltip when settings change.
- Improve robustness in FormatTableMixin: handle None/incorrect types for format_note, abr, resolution, ext, and codec values to avoid type errors and ensure consistent display.
- Add localization entries for generic mode, placeholder, and related help text across multiple language files and update the in-app default localization strings.
These changes enable broader site support via yt-dlp while hardening UI format handling and keeping user settings persistent.
Add a safe blurred-overlay flow for modal dialogs by implementing run_dialog_with_blur and _apply_blur_to_pixmap on YTSageApp. The new flow captures a window screenshot, generates a blurred/dimmed pixmap via a QGraphicsScene + QGraphicsBlurEffect, shows it in an overlay QLabel with a fade-in, runs the dialog, and then removes the overlay.
Replace many direct dialog.exec() calls with run_dialog_with_blur(...) across the main GUI (download settings, about, history, playlist selection, custom options, cookie login, ffmpeg check, time range, setup success dialogs, etc.). Also add imports required for pixmap/graphics handling.
Make animate_widget_fade_in usage safer by checking for the method before calling it and falling back to setVisible(True) for format table and thumbnails to avoid QPainter/graphics-effect conflicts. Small comment/cleanup in fade-in/out methods.
Make the format table invisible while it's populated and filtered to avoid visual artifacts, then animate its appearance with animate_widget_fade_in after initial filtering. This ensures a smoother UI when the table is first built.
Moved all files from src/gui/ to ytsage/gui/ and updated import statements to use relative imports within the new package structure. This improves modularity and prepares the codebase for distribution as a proper Python package.
