What's Changed

Implemented pagination in the History screen to help with large lists
Added delete all for each page in the download queue screen
Added accessing Terminal from the shortcuts menu of the app
Made the download notifications grouped together
Fixed app crashing when pressing the log of a download but the log has been deleted
Fixed app crashing when queueing long list of items in the download queue
Added ability to mass re-download items from the history screen
Made the app remember the last used scheduled time so it can suggest you that time for the next download
#618, made all preferences with a description show their values
Fixed bug that prevented app from loading all urls from text file
Added ability to stop an observed source but not delete it

Custom yt-dlp source

Now you can create your own yt-dlp source the app can update to. The app is running yt-dlp --update-to user/repo@latest where user/repo is provided by you through the app. The default 3 sources are still there ofc.

Advanced Settings

Added a new category for more advanced users and moved the extractor argument settings there.

Added ability to make command templates usable while fetching data in the home screen. They will be appended to the data fetching command as an extra command in the end. Enable the toggle in the advanced settings to be able to configure your templates for it
When PO Token is set, the app now adds the web extractor argument for youtube. I forgor... (If you want to set more PO tokens for other player clients i guess set them in the other extractor argument text preference, and also modify the player client. The separate PO Token preference applies it only for the web player client)

Write Info Json

Added ability to write info json when downloading so when you resume and restart downloads, it will not download the webpage and player clients all over again. It will help prevent you making unnecessary calls to the server. On advanced settings you can turn this off if you want. I coded it be available for the next 5 hours. Considering formats tend to expire on some extractors, i dont want the download to be unusable. This is a rare use case, one of them being you starting a download, it saves the info json and you cancel it and you remember to start it again, maybe tomorrow lol. Formats most likely expired, download item is useless. So in that case it will redownload the the webpage and player clients again, and it will save a new info file aswell no problem.

More Home recommendation options

Now you can select to have more youtube feeds in the home screen from yt-dlp

watch later playlist
recommendations
liked videos
watch history

Since the option has been overhauled to put every home recommendation option in a single list-view preference, the preference has been reset so u have to change it again if you had changed it.

Please Read

This version has the updated python version 3.11. Due to yt-dlp's deprecation of python 3.8, this update had to be made, but at the same time support for Android 6 will be dropped. Android 6 users can still keep using the previous version until yt-dlp stops working in the future.

Added Socket Timeout in Download Settings

1.7.9.1

Sep 1, 2024

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: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/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

Jul 1, 2024

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
Made the app limiting titles to 180 characters instead of 120
Hid free space label in command mode if the app cant read the folder
Fixed app still using the cache folder when the app has all files access but the folder didn't exist
Added ability to swap format source from piped to yt-dlp if the item is a youtube video
Added a feature to choose if you want to restore the backup or erase everything from the app and start fresh with just the saved data
Moved some youtube-focused settings to their own category in the general settings
Other small things here and there

1.7.7

Jun 11, 2024

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

Jun 9, 2024

What's New

Made finished notification icon color to red
Added download path in the history item details sheet
Fixed Download On Schedule feature. Switched back to AlarmManager as its more accurate than WorkManager
Removed move to top and to bottom in the scheduled tab. Code cleanup
Fixed a huge issue when you press cancel to the quick download item before the data isn't fully fetched, it would go back to being queued after the data fetching is finally done
moved force keyframes at cuts in the general category in processing settings
showed the number when you select all items in the context menu bar
fixed app going always to the search bar when you return to home if you launched the search shortcut from the app menu
Fixed app not hiding update formats button after updating formats
Fixed app not passing ba/b in format logic when using generic best audio format
Fixed meta track parse metadata
Fixed app not cancelling downloads in some cases
Fixed huge issue when using multiple download card and it wouldnt keep user defined changes
Fixed app not removing download notification when cancelling download
Fixed some errors in arabic interface when selecting playlist items
Limited characters in cut interface textboxes to just numbers colons and periods
When user had a defined preferred format id and the user selects a generic 'best' format the app just accounted that format id and didnt consider the preferred video resolution as a fallback
Fixed when trying to schedule a video download and setting it to download as audio as well, the audio is put in queued and not in scheduled
Fixed app crashing when trying to tap adjust download in the errored notification, in case the user removed the download beforehand
Added ability to modify the download item in the queue. But to prevent the app from starting the download prematurely, it is moved to the saved category and after you hit ok it will be requeued. If you cancel the edit card, the item will stay in saved
Fixed app reseting user defined changes in the download card like the download path when it finally updates data
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. Since the app now simply pauses all downloads, there is no need to do such transformations especially when you could have many items in the queue. Now simply the app cancels the ytdlp instances and the download worker and stores a state whether the downloads are paused or not
Fixed album playlist track not being saved #482
Fixed retries and fragment retries settings not applying
Fixed container in RTL not showing correctly in video tab in the download card
Fixed bad spacing in RTL for search engines
Fixed app crashing when you multiple select cancelled downloads for redownload
Removed the ability of the app to rename extractors in the history tab. Now they are raw from yt-dlp
Changelog was too slow and buggy, so now its on a recyclerview ultra fast

Fixed sub format conversion not applying when embedding subtitles
added scheduled as a backup category in teh settings
added ability to show cookie details
fixed app crash in some cases when u copied multiple url and tapped the FAB in home screen
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
fixed app crashing when trying to toast in the end (#469)
added alternate urls for instagram,facebook,and reddit as supported sites
fixed app not escaping double quotes in filenames
fixed container text alignment for arabic interface
rearranged video quality order in descending order in the settings

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

Apr 14, 2024

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
Showed stylized codec name for generic audio formats
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

1.7.2

Feb 4, 2024

What's New

Increased the height of the history card a slight bit
Fixed app not using the -S format sorter in normal GUI downloads
Added the multiple download card as an option to disable the swipe gestures
Added a recyclerview to the search results because they were buggy before and would not show sometimes
Added a new history item card design in cases if you quick-downloaded a playlist or if you made multiple cuts of a file. Instead of being separate, they are bundled and you can share them all at once and if you want to open the file a new dialog will show telling you to choose which one. If any of them is deleted, they are greyed out
Fixed the shortcuts behaviour by allowing duplicate shortcuts to be added to textbox and to not check

Format Filtering

App can now let you filter between 4 categories. All, self explanatory. Suggested, a combination of multiple preferences you have set in the app like your preferred codec, container and format id, quality and resolution. Smallest, it will select for each format the smallest size. Generic, the generic formats you see on the app while an item hasn't updated to real formats yet, in case you want to use those for some reason.

...

Added clipboard button right in the home screen for quick access to the url you copied instead of going to the searchview. That item is also available there aswell.
Added an animation of it shrinking when it pops up
Added ability to show the URL in a history item if the download produced no title for it
Same idea with the download notification if you hit download too fast and the data fetching process hadn't finished yet.
Added zoom-in zoom-out slider for logs and terminal screens. It can remember your zoom choice for both
Added more options of data fetching for titles and authors, like track, alt_title to avoid the default youtube naming scheme when available. Useful for audio downloads
Since some people are confused. In the download card each tab item is independent and they each create a distinct download item and when you press download the app picks from the tab you are currently. If you want to select the audio format in the video tab you can just open the format list and scroll to the bottom for the audio formats. You can select multiple if you want and then press ok. But since some people thought that selecting the audio in audio tab would apply to the video tab, i added the ability to synchronise that format automatically in case people dont know about this lol
Added the snackbar notification when there are no current command templates when trying to edit an existing download item
Fixed that snackbar to fill the full text
Fixed app crashing when trying to change the directory of multiple items in the multiple download card
Fixed cases where the app downloaded a playlist but items had mismatching titles. This was due to playlist index being different from piped API to yt-dlp. Added filtering by ID instead which is fool-proof

Introducing Observe Sources

A long awaited feature that was planned for a long time, but always pushed back by other features. You can now set a playlist to be observed by the app over and over based on a time period. The download configuration is the exact same as if you would do a normal download. You can select types of audio video and command etc etc. You can set it to run every day, every week, every month. or every 2 days and so on. You can set the time the app should try to check for new entries to download. You can set the time the app will start this observation process, in case you dont want it to start now. You can set the case where the app should stop running it. Like after 10 runs, or after it reaches a certain date. The item can store which url's it had registered and passed over to the download process, so it can skip them on the next run. But you can set it to check the app's internal download history in case those files are still present. If not, the app will try to re-download them again. You can make as much as you want :), but since its running on Alarm Manager its waking up the phone to run the task so be wary of battery usage if you have way too many of them.

...

added pop-up animations for all lists on the app
added ability to copy cookie content for a single cookie instead of just all of em
added a chip filter on the history fragment to hide the deleted records
added force ipv4 feature
added bitrate format information for formats long press details card
made the quick scroll handle rounder
fixed app still trying to fetch data even though the user cancelled it
added the ability to show the multiple download card in cancelled/errored/saved downloads when trying to redownload them. If the card is disabled in settings it will act like previous, instant downlaod
added ability to copy urls for each download tab items
added a chip option in the video tab to download automatic subtitles. its also an app setting
fixed a strange bug when the app would consider some video formats as audio formats
ellipsised the audio format id in the format section in the download card in case it was stupidly long, (facebook...)
fixed the app checking for duplicate downloads if you are trying to query multiple downloads, it will show a bottom sheet of all duplicate items
added ability to use the download archive of yt-dlp instead of using the app's method of duplicate checking. archive checks only the video id but the app checks the whole command config. up to you
Other small bug fixes

The history item has been updated in this version so old backups will not work. Please make a backup of your stuff in the settings before updating. In case this update fails, notify people in telegram and revert back to the past version and use your backup and also give us the backup to reproduce the error if it happens. Happy Downloading :)

Intent integration with the app

You can use intents or apps like tasker or macrodroid to run commands to the app to run a download without user interaction Accepted variables:

TYPE -> it can be: audio,video,command
BACKGROUND -> whether the app downloads on its own and wont show the download card if you have it on
COMMAND -> if your preferred type is audio/video or you set the TYPE variable as so, this will be appended to your Extra Commands string. If the type is command, the whole command will be used for the download

The intent that needs to be created is of android.intent.action.SEND and the intent text should be the url that you need to download.

1.6.8

Oct 29, 2023

What's New

Notable Change

Made app always show the quick download card and asynchoronously load data while you are in it. Quick Download now if its on, it wont load data at all inside the card. This is useful in case people dont want to wait for redundant data when they end up quickly downloading anyway. You can cancel the update process by tapping the card title. If you have automatic format updating enabled, the formats will also be updated while you are in the card with shimmer effects. After data loads it will automatically fill in the data and in case you have edited out the title or author it will suggest you to update the fields on the side instead of replacing them. In case if the data was a playlist all along the card will dismiss and show you the playlist selector. Happy downloading :)

1.6.6

Sep 5, 2023

What's New

added saved downloads in the settings backup
made icon bigger in downloading notification
fixed notification cancel and pausing not working
fixed app respecting preferred home screen for downloads and more
removed 000001 in the end of the file if the user has made only one cut
removed log id from downloads if the user deleted the log
fixed app crashing when it was listing logs with large texts
fixed case: if the user had multiple preferred audio formats the app would choose the last one and not the first
added ability to combine preferred audio formats by writing like 140+251,250. If the download item finds both first audio formats it will merge them together, otherwise get one of them that is available
fixed app file transfer not working. (had to revert to hidden cache folder as downloads folder wasnt good for some phones)
fixed app saving as mkv even though mp4 is set as container
added shortcuts button to the commands tab so you can drop shortcuts to the current command.
added syntax highlighting in commands tab textbox
fixed tiktok videos not saving properly
fixed open file intent
added hindi language
added croatian language
added norwegian language
added tamil language
added telugu language
added thai language
added readme in azerbajani
added security.md
added ability to show preferred audio / video format ids as a generic format in the format list if the item has no formats available
fixed multi select dialog in the settings not having the same material color as the rest of the system
fixed navbar being black and not the same color as main activity in the settings activity
added license to the app info
added security to the app info
fixed app not converting subtitle formats
fixed app retaining terminal state when going to landscape
made log text stretch horizontally like terminal
more small stuff

Added ability to combine all possible combinations of preferred video formats, audio formats, codex and container.

The app will consider all preferred video ids. For each of them it will consider preferred vcodec and extension. At the same time for each of those elements it will consider all preferred audio commands and/or audio merge. If the format is a generic quality like 1080p or 720p it will also consider that in the long format query. Also the app will add all combos of video + audio only. And all combos of all video + best audio. All video ids alone and best as final fallback. If the user chooses a proper format, the app will not be this descriptive. Preferred video id and audio id combos will only apply on a quick download or best quality generic download

Added Download Scheduling

When on the app will only download depending on the time period you have set
If you turn off scheduling, the app will check for leftover downloads waiting and will immediately start them
If you manually set a time to download, it will ignore the scheduling period. This period only applies to normal downloads that have no set download time
The setting is in the downloading section

Added ability to not use internal storage caching if you have all files access

This is useful if you are downloading livestreams and u dont have to move files from cache in the settings anymore
If u are having write permission errors, turn caching back on so the app will use transferring instead

1.6.1

May 1, 2023

Introducing Quick Download Mode

If on you can skip the data-fetching process and immediately jump to the download card.
If the download card is turned off, the download will immediately start downloading.
If you are trying to query multiple items in the searchview, it will fetch data and not use quick download features
If you have the download card option on, you can request to update the item and the cards will show up in the home screen like usual. In case you are using the card in the share menu context, it will dismiss itself and reshow itself with data filled out
If you are quick downloading a playlist, it will download everything in a single download item, so you can't cancel select items in it. The history card for this kind of download will just hold in it the largest file in the collection, similar in cases where you download multiple cuts of the same item. The share button in the finished download notification will take the same file as the history item. [Multiple file support for a single download item might get supported later on, but no promises for now]

Other Features

Implemented Theme Picker
Implemented Custom Theme Accents
Implemented High Contrast Mode
Added Swipe Gestures for History cards [right to redownload, left to delete]
Added Download Finished Notification [You can open and share from it]
Added Errored Download Notification [You can launch its logs from it, if the feature is on]
Fixed Youtube Music playlists not showing all items in the homescreen

Oct 21, 2022

PLEASE READ

Due to high app usage, my personal youtube api key was throttled. I removed the built-in api key for default yt-dlp requests. They are slower but usable to everyone. You can add your own youtube api key in the setttings for faster responses. Refer to the readme for steps on how to get your own key.

NEW FEATURES

made clicked audio/video buttons cancellable so you dont have to cancel everything
made progress bar as thick as the card and somewhat transparent, looks nicer
made the download progress not cut off and be seamless when transitioning from intermediate to solid colors
renamed history tab to downloads
downloaded items if they are not in the filesystem, they are greyed out
added sorting and filtering chips on top of the downloads tab. You can filter between each website, file type and sort from oldest or newest
made checking for updates as a toggle in the main settings page.
downloading items now show in the downloads tab too and you can cancel them there aswell.
added incognito mode. If on, downloaded stuff wont be added to history / downloads tab
added a cancel button in the notification itself. It will cancel everything and clear the queue
added bottom cards when you click audio / video buttons to configure some settings before downloading. You can change title and artist name, change format, and quality if you are choosing video. If you have selected mutliple items or are downloading everything present, you can't edit title and artist because you are dealing with multiple items.
added a button to open the downloaded file. If the file is greyed out (file is not present) the button won't be there
added ability to import a txt file. Create a simple txt file contaning any link that yt-dlp supports. You can also use youtube playlist links or simple queries. The app will read each line and update the screen. When finished, download all floating action button will appear. To use this feature just share the txt file to this app

FIXES

fixed downloaded items other than youtube not having proper download links
fixed app crashing when pressing download all button
fixed not getting all playlist items from generic ytdl request
