Description

Users can now download videos in MP4 and MP3 formats. In addition, users can exchange matched videos for more accurate matches, if the match failed the first time.

Details

Output Formats and Downloading

  • An 'Output Format' setting has been added, where users can choose between Auto, MP4, and MP3 downloads.
    • Auto: Download videos with the default container as available on YouTube.
    • MP4: Download the best-quality mp4 video, or if no such media is available, download the best quality video and convert it to mp4.
    • MP3: Download the best-quality mp3 audio, or if no such media is available, download the best quality audio and convert it to mp3.
  • Completed processes will now be displayed until cleared (as opposed to being cleared after 3 seconds).
  • Download processes have been sorted in three categories: 'Downloads', 'Conversions', and 'Completed'.

Queries and Video Exchange

  • Videos have a percent (%) match value, allowing the user to see to what extent the video title matches their initial query. In batch query scenarios, this can be useful in determining which videos should be exchanged for other matches.
  • Videos now have an 'Exchange' option on their context menus. A dialog will pop-up and provide a range of videos matched by the original query. The user can choose one of the videos as the better match, or perform a different query.
  • Videos can now be opened in YouTube, for convenience.

Retracted Features

Pausing downloads is no longer an option. We concluded that such a feature is not necessary; users can download videos and kill them if necessary.

Backwards Compatibility

For users which used previous versions, YouTube Downloader is likely to crash on the first launch. Simpy restart the downloader and everything will be fine.

Furthermore, feel free to delete your %AppData% YouTube Downloader folder, as some of the files there may be deprecated.

Hot Fixes

  • A patch was uploaded fixing a bug where the video downloads folder may not exist, and YouTube Downloader would still try and find it.
  • [28.03.2019] Patched broken version (due to deprecated API key).
