Downloader: add detection for "Auto-generated" subtitle selection and only append --write-auto-subs when an auto-generated subtitle is explicitly chosen (prevents always enabling the flag when any subtitles are requested). GUI: update subtitle label to display the number of selected subtitles when >0, falling back to the zero-selected message otherwise. Small UX and behavior fixes in DownloadThread and AnalysisMixin.
When building the output template for single-file downloads, remove any playlist-specific preamble (e.g. '%(playlist_index)s - ') from filename_part. Adds a regex-based substitution to clean up leftover playlist_index placeholders so single downloads don't get playlist-style prefixes in their filenames.
When downloading playlists, avoid reusing a specific format_id from the first item (which can fail for subsequent videos). For audio-only playlists, use yt-dlp's bestaudio fallback; for video playlists, respect a provided resolution by extracting the height and applying -S res:<height>, otherwise fall back to bestvideo+bestaudio/best. Invalid resolution strings are caught and logged, and revert to the dynamic best-quality fallback.
Add video id to the default output filename template across the downloader and settings UI. The template was changed from "%(title)s_%(resolution)s.%(ext)s" to "%(title)s_%(resolution)s_[%(id)s].%(ext)s" in ytsage_downloader.py and ytsage_dialogs_settings.py (including placeholder and reset behavior). This helps avoid filename collisions and makes downloaded files easier to identify.
Add a concurrent_fragments parameter to DownloadThread (default 1) and store it as an instance attribute. When building the yt-dlp command, include a -N <concurrent_fragments> option and log the concurrent connections. Also emit finished_signal upon cancellation and on error paths to ensure the UI is notified of thread completion. Minor comment/logging clarifications added around command construction.
Introduce an "audio_normalization" option across the app and implement normalization for audio-only downloads. Updates include: add config default (ConfigManager), new language strings, settings UI checkbox + help text and logic to auto-enable force-audio-format when normalization is enabled, and persist the setting. Pass the setting from main app to DownloadThread, and in the downloader force re-encoding to mp3 when necessary and append --postprocessor-args ExtractAudio:-af loudnorm=... to apply EBU R128 normalization. This ensures normalization works reliably (avoids ffmpeg stream-copy errors) and keeps the behavior scoped to ExtractAudio postprocessor.
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.
Introduce a new filename_format setting and UI to control yt-dlp output templates. ConfigManager now includes a default filename_format (%(title)s_%(resolution)s.%(ext)s). The DownloadSettingsDialog exposes a text input and help text for the format and saves the value to ConfigManager. DownloadThread now accepts a filename_format argument and uses it when building output templates for single videos and playlists. YTSageApp reads the config and passes the filename format into the download thread. Added corresponding English language strings.
Introduce check_ytdlp_deno_integration() in ytsage_yt_dlp.py to detect Deno integration by running `yt-dlp --verbose` and scanning debug output for JS runtimes containing "deno" (with timeout and logging/fallback).
Add SystemInfoThread (QThread) in ytsage_dialogs_base.py to collect yt-dlp, ffmpeg and deno presence, versions, paths, cache timestamps and integration status in the background, emitting the gathered info via info_ready. AboutDialog now starts the thread in update_system_info() and populates the UI asynchronously via _populate_system_info(), showing a small "+ yt-dlp" integration indicator next to the Deno status when detected. Refactors usage of version/cache lookups to use the thread-provided info dictionary.
Add streaming progress support to Deno upgrades and hook it into the GUI. upgrade_deno() now accepts an optional progress_callback and uses subprocess.Popen to read stdout line-by-line (line-buffered, utf-8, errors replaced), collecting output and invoking the callback as lines arrive. Added DenoUpdateThread (QThread) with finished/progress/error signals and replaced the previous background thread usage in the updater UI with this QThread. GUI slots strip ANSI escapes, truncate long messages, and update status text; buttons are re-enabled on finish/error. Improved logging and error handling for upgrade failures.
Initialize an error buffer and collect yt-dlp "ERROR:" output lines during direct command runs. When the process exits non‑zero, emit a more informative error using the last two captured error lines (falling back to the generic return-code message if none were captured). Also ensure the buffer is present before appending and keep the existing delay/cleanup flow.
Renamed 'src/core' to 'ytsage/core' and updated all internal imports to use relative paths. This improves package structure and ensures correct module resolution after the directory move.
