Changed the FFmpeg download link in the build-windows.yml workflow to use the official gyan.dev source instead of the GitHub release. This ensures the workflow uses the latest and most reliable FFmpeg builds.
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.
Eliminated the check_file_exists method and related logic, as file existence is now handled by yt-dlp itself. This simplifies the DownloadThread class and avoids unnecessary pre-download checks.
Enhanced the logic for finding the final downloaded file by always searching for the most recent video or audio file in the download directory and its subdirectories. This approach handles various post-processing scenarios such as merging, remuxing, and subtitle embedding, ensuring the correct file is identified even if the tracked path is invalid or missing.
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.
Renamed the 'Options' section to 'Advanced Options' and clarified descriptions for several features, improving readability and consistency in the documentation.
Replaces references to 'yt-dlp executable' with 'yt-dlp' in the 'analyzing_extracting_ytdlp' string across all supported language files for consistency and clarity.
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.
Added new translation keys for cookie management features (recommended, file applied, browser applied, cleared messages) to all supported language files for improved internationalization and user feedback.
Improves the cookies tab in CustomOptionsDialog by making browser extraction the recommended default, updating the status indicator to show active cookies, and adding an Apply button to confirm cookie settings. Refactors radio button logic, status updates, and integrates user feedback via QMessageBox.
Deleted logic for handling cookie file and browser cookies selection in the show_custom_options method. This streamlines the dialog to only process proxy options.
Added new translation keys for URL validation and ytdlp error messages in all supported languages. This improves error reporting and user feedback for invalid URLs and common download issues.
Introduces validate_video_url to check YouTube/YouTube Music URLs for supported formats and domains, returning detailed error messages. Adds sanitize_filename to clean filenames by removing unsafe characters for filesystem compatibility.
Refactored all modules to remove dependency on the yt-dlp Python package, switching to subprocess calls to the yt-dlp binary for all extraction and update operations. Update logic now exclusively manages the app's own yt-dlp binary and no longer supports pip-based updates. Simplified format/audio detection and thumbnail extraction to use CLI heuristics and subprocess output. This improves reliability and avoids Python package conflicts.
Deleted pip-related update messages from all language JSON files to simplify and unify the update flow messaging for yt-dlp. This change removes unused or deprecated strings related to pip installation and update status.
Introduces an 'Open Folder' button to the UI, shown after a download completes, allowing users to quickly open the folder containing the downloaded file. Updates all language files to include translations for the new button tooltip.
Enhanced get_asset_path to better handle frozen executables (PyInstaller, cx_Freeze) by checking multiple locations for assets. Updated app data directory logic to always use user data directories for app data, logs, config, and binaries, regardless of whether the app is frozen, ensuring consistent storage location across platforms.
Added new translation keys for update dialog fields (new version available, current/latest version labels, changelog, download update, remind later) in all supported languages. Updated the GUI code to use these localized strings instead of hardcoded English text for improved internationalization.
Replaces hardcoded update and error strings in ytsage_dialogs_update.py with internationalized messages. Adds new translation keys for update success, already latest, network error, general error, pip update errors, and pip update failed in all supported languages.
Added a new languages directory for localization files and updated the file tree to reflect new utility modules for configuration, localization, and logging. Removed the old logging utility reference and improved documentation structure.
Introduced a new section detailing support for 14 languages, including a table of supported languages and codes, and instructions for selecting a language. Encourages contributions for additional translations.
Replaced hardcoded status and fallback messages with localized strings across downloader, update, and main UI modules. Updated language files for all supported languages to include new keys for fallback download status, pip timeout, invalid URL, zero selected, and playlist selection dialog title. This improves internationalization and consistency of user-facing messages.
Introduces new translation keys for post-processing status messages ('merging formats' and 'removing sponsor segments') in all supported languages. Updates code to use these i18n keys in both downloader and GUI, improving localization and consistency of user-facing messages.
Documented the new proxy support feature, allowing users to specify a proxy server for downloads. This helps users understand how to use the proxy option with the application.
Refined the asset inclusion in Linux, macOS, and Windows build workflows to specify subdirectories for branding icons, Icon, and sound assets. This change ensures only the necessary asset folders are packaged, improving build consistency across platforms.
Added the 'languages' directory to the list of files included in the build artifacts for Linux, macOS, and Windows workflows. This ensures language files are packaged with the application across all platforms.
Bump actions/checkout to v5, actions/setup-python to v6, and actions/cache to v4 in build workflows for Linux, macOS, and Windows. This ensures the workflows use the latest features and security updates from GitHub Actions.
