1.7.9.1
What's Changed
Newpipe Extractor
Since Piped is currently broken and unusable, i implemented the NEWPIPE EXTRACTOR to replace it. This includes:
- video queries
- playlist queries
- trending
- searching
- youtube channel queries
- formats
The speed is as fast as piped and seems to be working.
Now you can select between piped, newpipe or strictly rely on yt-dlp
Home screen filtering
This is a feature request that is long overdue. When implementing newpipe extractor i also coded in proper youtube channel parsing. Now items have their respective channel playlist name. So the app will show you filter chips if you have multiple playlist available.
So you can filter between videos, shorts, livestreams and choose to just download those by long pressing etc etc.
In case newpipe fails and it defaults to yt-dlp, proper channel playlist parsing is not yet possible.
You can track the issue i have created here:
yt-dlp/yt-dlp#10827
Other fixes
- Fixed app selecting all playlist items even though user selected a few, if the user is parsing an instagram post. (they all had the same url)
- Fixed app not changing container label in the multiple download card when switching download type
- Fixed app not being able to return to home after clicking the download notification
- Added ability for the app to parse multiple urls at the same time. For now it will do 10 items at max
- Added ability to show "Continue Anyway" in the error dialog so it will keep showing the download card in case you want to save it for later or schedule it
- Added general subtitle variant codes with .*
- Fixed app not applying the subtitle language label in the subtitle configuration dialog
- Fixed app not showing the total format size when being in audio download type in the multiple downlod card
- Fixed app not navigating to the download queue fragment to adjust the errored download? Couldnt reprod but reworked logic lmk
- Fixed app still using original title for metadata even though the user changed it in the textfield
- Slight fixes for artist parsing for ytm videos
- Improved and simplified uploader parsing when quick downloading
- Ignored the recode command when using avi container, because it doesnt support it
- Prevented app selecting bad formats 233 and 234 when quick downloading
- Fixed app not showing best quality and worst quality labels depending on the user language
- Fixed app crashing when selecting formats of an instagram post with the same url
- Added approx filesize in yt-dlp formats, somehow the app was not adding it lol
- Added ability to remember text wrapping in download logs and terminal
- if quick download enabled, added ability to show the download card while sharing the txt file on any download type
- hide download size when enabling cutting because the size is unknown
Note
Some people are asking for the ability to not use cache while downloading in usb storage. This is an android limitation. Even though you might have all files access, android still doesnt consider usb storage as main storage and cant directly write to it. So i have to use caching and then transfer the file.
If anyone is knowledgeable to pull this off, dm me on telegram and we can make it happen. :)
Also for people cutting really long videos and its slow. Its a yt-dlp / ffmpeg issue of how they handle that, so it can't be helped. I guess its best to just download it fully and cut it somewhere else.
I could've released this sooner but i have been busy :/

1.7.8
What's New
Please make a backup of the app data in the settings before this update in case something goes wrong with the database upgrade
Incognito right in the download card
Now you can enable incognito on the go and prevent the download from creating a history record of it when its finished. If incognito mode is on, it will be enabled by default
Observe Sources Sync
Now you can enable sync in observe sources when the app will match every video with what it has downloaded so far. So that if you delete a record from the playlist, the app will do the same
Customizable Home Screen for Mobile
Now you can select which screens you can show in the bottom navigation. Home and More are essential so they cant be removed.
Available screens: Home, Downloads, Queue, Terminal, More
You can also select the label visibility of the bottom navigation
Active and Queued Combined
Instead of swiping to see the queued items, now they are in the same screen when queued are right below the active items
- Prevented the user from spamming pause and resume making the app confused in such a short period of time
- Re-implemented format importance sorting in the app, resembling the yt-dlp one
- Added feature to keep screen on while the video plays in the cut player
- Fixed app not adding a fallback to bestaudio when downloading audio formats using a format id

1.7.7
Shortest changelog ever
-
Fixed multiple download card issues. Processing them in the background was not a good idea for most users as it was confusing and users thought it wasnt doing anything. It led to duplicate downloads
Usually playlist downloads dont really have 4000 items in them so background. If you have one, just enable quick download and consider the whole playlist as a single item. :) -
Some users had issues with the display over apps perm. Since that perm ended up not doing anything to the revanced issue, i removed it
-
Fixed the app crashing when you put an index bigger than the number of items in the select playlist items sheet
Had to push this out since multiple download card was almost broken

- Fixed Download On Schedule feature. Switched back to AlarmManager as its more accurate than WorkManager

- Fixed app crashing when trying to tap adjust download in the errored notification, in case the user removed the download beforehand

- Fixed app crashing when trying to open a download that has no duration in it. Now its disabled
- Previously the app would change the state of downloads to Paused, whether it is activepaused or queuedpaused.

- removed excessive file permissions for API 30 and above
Format aspect importance
Now in the settings you can order around which element based on your preferences like codec, container, quality, preferred format id should be prioritised when the app automatically chooses a format for you. The app uses a weigh system to sort formats based on preference.
- fixed app crashing when swipe to delete a scheduled item
- fixed app not modifying time in a scheduled item
- added network constraint for observe sources worker
- added reconfigure button in errored notification
- fixed app not hiding the "Link you copied" after clicking on it

Background processing of items for download
Someone tested to download a 4000 long playlist in the app. First of all it couldnt even load them in the multiple download card. In those extreme cases the usual recommendation was to just turn quick download on, and consider the whole playlist as a single item and download.
But still, if a madman wants the ability to modify the list, now the app can handle it and will show the download card. Since it will take a while until all items all processed and converted into download items, a progress bar is added.
Still you are able to hit download and schedule button early and let the app continue on its own by using the default configurations of the download items. So its fast like quick download but still separates all items into separate downloads.
- fixed app using -a "" on observe sources command type downloads
- added milliseconds when trying to cut a download
- added ability to set the folder location of your download archive path. The file has to be named as download_archive.txt
- added feature to number each chapter when using split by chapters
- slight changes to downloads already exist dialog
- fixed app not considering m.youtube links
- other small fixes

1.7.5
What's New
- Added AVI / FLV / MOV video container options
- Fixed app not showing the current download's command if it was a command type download when coming from multiple download sheet
- Added release year from description as metadata for audio downloads
- Set progress bar as interterminate when it reached 100% so people wont think it froze (its ffmpeg working, and it doesnt have a progress callback)
- Fix app crashing when trying to toggle on Show Terminal in share sheet
- Fix app crashing when going on landscape when you open the format list
- Fixed app not disabling the keep fragments toggle if you toggled the dont download as fragments
- Fixed app not fetching format list when some formats had None as a filesize
- Fixed app only showing the download type icon in the finished notification only when you expanded it. Now its a popping orange
- Showed navigation bar color when opening the download card

- Fixed app crashing when going on landscape when you open the multiple download card
- Fixed app crashing when you tapped the home button twice on foldable mode
- Fixed observe sources spamming and running every second
- Swapped around some icons
- Added new Language BULGARIAN
- Showed the download path in the finished notification
- Fixed calculating the next time observe sources should run
- Added a scheduled section in the download queue so that they dont stay in the same spot with queued items that are expected to run soon. You can see their ETA there for each item
Duplicate checking
For a while the app had its own duplicate checking system when it checked the whole configuration with current history items or active downloads.
Since this system was too precise and even a slight change in options will consider it a new download and not an exact replica and most people were confused why the app allowed them to still download
So i created 3 methods of duplicate checking
- download archive -> uses the .txt file of yt-dlp to check if any url has been downloaded before or not
- url and type -> checks download history and running downloads to check if any item with the same url and type was downloaded
- full config -> the good ol method
- Removed paused button for each active download item. It didnt make sense. If you paused one item, the other items will continue to run anyway so what was the point. Instead i added a floating action button to pause and resume the whole queue
- Removed the cookie toggle throbbing every time you entered the page
- Slight changes to album_arist metadata parsing
- Fixed app downloading music file instead when using M4A music format
- Fixed app showing the grey deleted filter on present items
Reordering download queue items
Now you can toggle the drag and drop mode in the queued tab to reorder your items with ease. Also you can now move multiple items to the top and to the bottom of the queue. or a single item
- removed the plus icon in the piped instance dialog.
- combined the thumbnail cropper and resizer commands in audio downloads
- fixed app not removing audio on some pre-merged formats like in tiktok or instagram
- removed the -f bv[height<=...] and instead moved to -S res:... due to some problems when trying to quick download an item
- fix terminal sometimes not showing the finishing line of output or error
- added colors to app shortcut icons
- other small fixes i forgor
