Replaced direct usage of load_config and save_config with ConfigManager in ytsage_utils.py and ytsage_dialogs_update.py. Removed legacy config functions from ytsage_utils.py to centralize configuration management and improve maintainability.
Replaces the use of Python's threading with a dedicated QThread-based AnalysisThread for URL analysis, ensuring all UI updates are performed via Qt signals for thread safety. Adds cancellation support for analysis, improves error handling, and updates the main window's close event to properly terminate the analysis thread if running. This refactor enhances stability and responsiveness of the GUI during analysis operations.
Removed pyglet dependency and migrated notification sound playback to use PySide6.QtMultimedia's QMediaPlayer and QAudioOutput. Updated workflow and requirements files to remove pyglet and ensure PySide6.QtMultimedia is included in build steps.
Moved all analysis-related methods from YTSageApp in ytsage_gui_main.py to a new AnalysisMixin in ytsage_gui_analysis.py. This improves code organization and separation of concerns by isolating analysis logic from the main application class.
Moved all inline widget style definitions in ytsage_gui_main.py to named constants in the StyleSheet class in ytsage_stylesheet.py. This centralizes and simplifies style management, improves maintainability, and ensures consistent theming across the application.
Moved the main application stylesheet to a new src/gui/ytsage_stylesheet.py module and applied it via StyleSheet.MAIN. Deferred blocking startup checks (FFmpeg, yt-dlp, Deno, updates) until after the UI is shown to improve responsiveness. Improved subtitle file deletion logic and added destination filename capture in downloader. Added custom style for auto-update checkbox in updater dialog.
Replaces manual threading for FFmpeg and Deno version checks with dedicated QThread subclasses (FFmpegCheckThread and DenoCheckThread). This improves integration with the Qt event loop, enables use of signals and slots for UI updates, and enhances error handling.
Refactored the update checking logic into a QThread subclass to prevent blocking the UI during network requests. The update check now runs asynchronously, and the dialog is shown via a signal when an update is available.
Expanded the clickable area for the menu button in HistoryDelegate to 60x50px and adjusted text width accordingly. This improves usability and addresses issues with the left side of the button not responding to clicks.
Replaces the history dialog's widget-per-entry approach with a virtualized QListView using a custom model and delegate for improved performance. Switches the HistoryManager backend from JSON file storage to SQLite, including automatic migration of legacy data. Adds support for efficient search, thumbnail caching, and context menu actions in the new UI.
Adjusted padding, margin, and spacing for a more compact layout. Standardized the thumbnail size to 240x135 (16:9 ratio) and reduced the menu button size for better visual balance.
Refactors the history loading process to emit entries as soon as they are loaded, allowing the UI to display immediately. Thumbnail downloads are now handled in the background, with widgets updated via a new signal when thumbnails are cached. This prevents UI freezes and improves responsiveness by showing placeholders until thumbnails are available.
Refactored thumbnail downloading to use a QThread for asynchronous operation, preventing UI blocking. Added ThumbnailDownloadThread class and updated VideoInfoMixin to handle threaded download and error reporting.
Inserted a debug log statement to output the full yt-dlp command before execution. This will help diagnose issues related to command construction and subprocess invocation.
Switches to using yt-dlp's --flat-playlist and --dump-single-json for faster initial playlist info extraction. Now fetches minimal info for all videos quickly, then retrieves full details for the first video only to populate format information, improving performance and reducing unnecessary data processing.
Introduces a filter input to the PlaylistSelectionDialog for searching videos by title and displays video durations next to each entry. Updates English translations to support the new filter placeholder and analysis status message.
Introduces a HistoryLoaderThread to load history entries and pre-fetch thumbnails in the background, preventing UI freezes. Adds a loading spinner and disables the 'Clear All' button while loading, improving user experience during history retrieval.
Refactored AboutDialog to avoid backslashes in f-string expressions by assigning HTML links to variables before formatting. This resolves a SyntaxError encountered when running YTSage with Python 3.11.
Introduces 'update in progress' messages to all supported languages and updates the GUI to prevent analysis or downloads while yt-dlp is updating. Adds flags to track update and analysis states, ensuring user actions are blocked with appropriate warnings during updates.
Improved the appearance and spacing of the URL input, paste, and analyze buttons in the main GUI, including updated padding, border, and color styles. Adjusted font sizes and colors for video info labels for a more consistent and polished look.
Added logic to disable the analyze button until a non-empty URL is entered. Updated button styling for the disabled state and ensured consistent enabling/disabling of the analyze button based on input and control state.
Update logic in updater dialog and main app to fetch latest version info from PyPI instead of GitHub API, avoiding rate limiting issues. Changelog is now fetched from GitHub only as a fallback, improving reliability of update checks.
Refactored cookie settings initialization and application to use ConfigManager for persistence. Cookie source, browser, profile, file path, and active status are now saved and loaded from config, ensuring consistent behavior across sessions. Cookies remain inactive on app launch until explicitly applied by the user.
Added new localized status messages for thumbnail saving in all supported languages. Refactored the thumbnail saving logic in ytsage_gui_video_info.py to use cached images from analysis instead of extracting via yt-dlp subprocess, improving reliability and performance.
Audio format settings (force and preferred) are now updated from the preferences dialog. Tooltip update logic is extended to reflect changes in audio format settings.
Introduces settings and UI for forcing audio format conversion on audio-only downloads, including support for selecting preferred audio formats. Updates language files for all supported languages, adds config options, and passes new settings through the downloader and main app logic.
Updated the format table column configuration to use a 'stretch' flag for each column, allowing some columns to stretch while others remain fixed. This improves layout flexibility and ensures important columns have consistent sizing.
Introduces a Deno version checker and updater section to the updater tab, with localized strings in all supported languages. Adds backend functions for fetching the latest Deno version, comparing versions, and upgrading Deno, along with corresponding GUI logic for checking and updating Deno from the interface.
Introduces functions to detect Deno version directly and with caching in ytsage_deno.py and ytsage_utils.py. Updates the About dialog to display Deno status, version, and path if available. Also extends version cache refresh logic to include Deno.
Introduces Deno binary management, setup dialog, and download/verification logic. Updates localization files for Deno setup messages in all supported languages. Integrates Deno setup checks into main.py and GUI initialization, and adds Deno constants for platform-specific downloads.
Replaces the FFmpeg updater logic with a version checker across all supported languages and removes the updater module. The Windows installation logic in ytsage_ffmpeg.py is rewritten to use essentials build extraction and path configuration directly, removing dependency on the updater module. Dialogs and UI strings are updated to reflect the new version checking workflow and provide installation guide links.
Introduces UI elements and logic for selecting between stable and nightly yt-dlp release channels in the updater tab, with support for switching channels and displaying status. Updates all language files with new strings for channel selection and status messages, and adds a default 'ytdlp_channel' config key.
Refactored auto-update settings for yt-dlp from DownloadSettingsDialog to the UpdaterTabWidget in the Custom Options dialog. Updated logic to use ConfigManager for settings management and ensured settings are saved when the dialog is accepted. This improves separation of concerns and centralizes update-related options.
Introduces a new FFmpeg updater module for checking and updating FFmpeg to the latest essentials build, with progress reporting and version comparison. Updates language files with new translation keys for the updater in multiple languages. Refactors Windows FFmpeg installation to use the new updater logic. Adds UpdaterTabWidget to the GUI dialogs for integration of the updater into the application's interface.
Deleted the ytsage_style.py file and removed related imports, as well as unused compatibility exception classes and the sanitize_filename function. The downloader now always uses the direct CLI command, removing the Python API fallback.
Introduces logic to enable or disable UI controls based on whether video analysis is complete, with appropriate tooltips for disabled states. Updates all language files to include new tooltip strings. Ensures controls like subtitle selection, SponsorBlock, and merge subtitles are only enabled after analysis, improving user guidance and preventing invalid actions.
Introduces new settings for forcing output format when merging videos, allowing users to select a preferred format (mp4, webm, mkv). Updates all language files with relevant translations, adds UI controls in the settings dialog, persists settings via ConfigManager, and passes options through the download workflow to yt-dlp.
Eliminated the line that enabled or disabled the update_ytdlp_btn in the YTSageApp class. This may be due to a change in UI requirements or the removal of the update button functionality.
Replaces manual update check logic in DownloadSettingsDialog with a dedicated YTDLPUpdateDialog for progress tracking. Removes the 'Update yt-dlp' button and related logic from the main window. Updates translation strings in all supported languages to reflect the new update dialog flow and button labeling.
Introduces a download history dialog with thumbnail previews, redownload, and remove options. Updates all language files to support history-related UI strings. Adds HistoryManager utility and integrates history dialog into the main GUI. Enhances downloader to better track final downloaded files and merged outputs.
Replaces hardcoded version strings with the APP_VERSION constant in both the main window and About dialog. This ensures version consistency across the application and simplifies future version updates.
Refactored format selection logic to explicitly handle audio-only and progressive formats using new flags. Updated GUI to pass format metadata, ensuring correct yt-dlp command construction and more reliable downloads for different format types.
Replaces status label updates with QMessageBox warnings for invalid video URLs in the main UI. Adds 'error_title' translation key to all supported languages for consistent error dialog titles.
