YTSage v4.0.0
[v4.0.0]
This release brings significant improvements and new features to YTSage, focusing on user experience, enhanced functionality, and better code organization.
π New Features
- SponsorBlock Integration: Enjoy distraction-free viewing! YTSage now integrates SponsorBlock, automatically skipping sponsor segments and other unwanted parts in YouTube videos. This feature can be toggled on/off in the format selection section.
- Anti-Bot Feature: Improved download reliability and success rate with the new anti-bot feature. YTSage now sends requests with browser-like headers and cookies (when necessary), mimicking a real user to bypass bot detection and ensure smoother video analysis and downloading, especially for websites with anti-scraping measures.
- About Section: A new "About" section has been added to the application menu. Find information about YTSage, its version, credits, and links to the project's GitHub repository.
- Enhanced Subtitle Handling with MKV Output:
- Subtitle Merging: Subtitles are now seamlessly merged into the MKV video output format. This simplifies file management and keeps everything in a single container.
- Subtitle Filtering: Easily find the subtitles you need with the new subtitle filter. Quickly narrow down the subtitle language list by typing language codes (e.g.,
en
,es
).
- Resolution in Filename: To prevent confusion and ensure uniqueness, the video resolution is now included in the downloaded filename. This resolves issues where videos with the same title but different resolutions would overwrite each other.
β¨ Improvements
- User Interface Enhancements: The user interface has been refined with various tweaks and improvements for a smoother and more intuitive experience. Expect better visual clarity and usability throughout the application.
- Improved Codebase Organization: The project has been reorganized into a more modular structure for enhanced readability and maintainability. The code is now separated into the following files:
main.py
: Application entry point and main function.ytsage_gui.py
: Contains all the graphical user interface components and logic.ytsage_downloader.py
: Handles the yt-dlp download processes and thread management.ytsage_utils.py
: Houses utility functions and helper methods.
- Enhanced Logging with Debug Mode: Logging has been significantly improved to provide more detailed information during operation. Extra debug messages are now included in the logs, offering deeper insights into the download process and making troubleshooting easier for advanced users and developers. This detailed logging aids in identifying and resolving issues more efficiently.
π Bug Fixes
- Thumbnail Download Fix: Resolved an issue where video thumbnails were not consistently downloading. Thumbnails should now download reliably during video analysis.
- Temporary File Cleanup on Cancel: Implemented proper cleanup of temporary files when a download is canceled. No more lingering
.part
files after stopping a download. - Removal of Unnecessary Files after MKV Conversion: When converting to MKV and merging subtitles, temporary video, and separate subtitle files are now automatically removed after successful conversion, keeping your download directory clean.
