Release Info

Version: 0.9

Release date: February 16, 2023

Important

1. Changed format of YTDL_OPTS in app_worker/ytdl_opts/default.py from dict to list for proper parsing on yt_dlp side:

   # Old format
   YTDL_OPTS = {
       'outtmpl': '%(title).200B.%(ext)s',
       'format': 'bestvideo[ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/mp4',
       'noplaylist': True,
       'playlist_items': '1:1',
       'writethumbnail': True,
       'concurrent_fragment_downloads': 5,
   }
   
   # New format
   YTDL_OPTS = [
       '--output',
       '%(title).200B.%(ext)s',
       '--format',
       'bestvideo[ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/mp4',
       '--no-playlist',
       '--playlist-items',
       '1:1',
       '--write-thumbnail',
       '--convert-thumbnails',
       'jpg',
       '--concurrent-fragments',
       '5',
       '--verbose',
   ]
   

   This means only yt-dlp CLI options can be added (yt-dlp --help to list all of them).
