MAJOR NEW FEATURES
- YouTube Stream Converter has been deprecated, so Tartube no longer supports
it. Instead, Tartube now offers livestream downloads using streamlink
(
https://streamlink.github.io/) or with the video's .m3u manifest
- Livestream detection now works on Odysee and Twitch, as well as on YouTube.
Detection should work on other websites, if you set the RSS feed for the
channel and playlist manually (see the README for details)
- In the toolbar at the bottom of the Videos tab, you can now filter out
downloaded videos, or undownloaded videos. These settings are ignored when
a text search/filter is applied; in that situation, the buttons are now
greyed out for clarity (Git #402)
MINOR NEW FEATURES
- When videos are being checked/downloaded, you can now see the amount of free
disk space in the bottom-left corner of the Videos tab
- Added the youtube-dl download options '--no-overwrites', settable from the
edit window (Git #398)
- Videos with enormous names, but without any space characters, created a
tooltip that was longer than the Tartube window itself. Updated line-
wrapping code generally, so that it will wrap on underline (underscore)
characters, as well as on whitespace
- Column headers in the Errors/Warnings tab are now resizeable (Git #403)
- There is now a setting to remove a video from Tartube's database after a
certain number of days, complementing the existing setting to delete the
video entirely from the user's filesystem. See Edit > System preferences...
> Files > Videos. The minimum value is now 0, so users can remove a
downloaded video from the database as soon as it has been downloaded, if
they want to (Git #404)
- In the download options window, Files > File names tab, the 'autonumber'
component has been replaced with 'video_autonumber' and
'playlist_autonumber' components, on the advice of the yt-dlp developers
(Git #406)
MAJOR FIXES
- JSON timeouts were causing havoc when checking a video with lots of comments.
Tartube now provides two timeout settings: one for checking videos with
comments, and one for checking videos without comments. To set them, click
Edit > System preferences... > Operations > Downloads. Also fixed an
error that failed to store comments in the database, under certain
circumstances. Also added a new setting, so that comments can be stored in
the database when checking videos, or when downloading videos (see Edit >
System preferences... > Operations > Comments) (Git #398)
- Fixed problems with the Drag and Drop tab, causing python errors on startup
(Git #399)
- On running out of disk space, load/save was disabled, so the user could not
free up space before saving the Tartube database. This no longer happens,
but after such an error, no scheduled downloads are started (this is
confirmed by a message in the Errors/Warnings tab). Updated the text in the
preferences window for clarity, and to show free space in GB rather than MB
(Git #400)
- Fixed failure to extract a video's URL and duration on certain channels, on
MS Windows (Git #373)
- Fix inability to load database from an (unspecified) earlier version of
Tartube. The error can also be fixed in the existing database integrity
check (Git #405)
MINOR FIXES
- On MS Windows, the download option '--windows-filenames' is automatically
added, but in the edit window, the same option is not selected. Fixed, so
that the option is no longer automatically added, but added only when
selected (Git #373)
- The download option '--trim-filenames' uses a file length that refers to the
absolute path, including the directory. Tartube will now ignore the setting
if the length is less than the absolute path of the directory itself, to
prevents files being downloaded into the wrong place. Added a warning about
the option's unexpected behaviour in the window
- The installer for MS Windows now starts Tartube with an environment variable,
that prevents Gtk from hiding scrollbars (Git #401)
- In the toolbar at the bottom of the Videos tab, the buttons to toggle
drawing frames and icons were set the wrong way around. Fixed
- The YouTube 'This live event will begin in 11 minutes' was not recognised as
a livestream notification (in some circumstances). Fixed
- On startup, in the Classic Mode tab, the 'Convert to this format' and
'Download in this format' buttons were not set or (de)sensitised correctly.
Fixed
- In the download options window, Files > File names tab, the various 'Add'
buttons added components to the end of the file extension, rather than the
end of the filename. Fixed
- Videos/channels/playlists/folders can no longer be deleted from the popup
menus, when preferences or edit windows are open. This should prevent
windows belonging to deleted items being visible
- Fixed display problems when moving a channel/playlist/folder to the top
level, or dragging one onto another
- All keyboard shortcuts have been checked and updated
