TheBadFella/Pinchflat-NGX 2026.8.17

Release 2026.8.17 - yt-dlp Settings, Failed Downloads, and Version Status

on GitHub

This release covers changes after 2026.8.14 and focuses on Settings controls for yt-dlp, failed-download recovery, sidebar version status, and a cleaner Docker Compose layout.

Highlights

Settings & yt-dlp

• Add a Settings editor for extra yt-dlp base config options (the same flags you would put in a yt-dlp config file).
• Add Settings search so notifications, extractor, cookies, and yt-dlp options are easier to find.
• Expose yt-dlp download, index, and metadata worker limits in Settings. Compose YT_DLP_*_WORKER_CONCURRENCY env vars still override the UI when set.

Downloads & Retries

• Add a Failed tab on Home with retry-all and per-item retry from history and source tables.
• Keep cookies on forced retries even when livestream prechecks are skipped.

Interface & Diagnostics

• Add a sidebar status card for PinchYT (Latest, or the installed version with an update warning) and the configured yt-dlp policy (Stable, Nightly, Frozen, Until stable, or a pinned version).
• Keep Diagnostics integrity tools usable on small screens.

Docker & Operations

• Move Compose files into docker/ and add a root compose.yaml include so docker compose up still works from the repo root.
• Continue installing FFmpeg from yt-dlp/FFmpeg-Builds latest (master builds, currently FFmpeg 9.x). That feed does not publish a separate n9.0 tarball yet.

Maintenance & Dependencies

• Update Phoenix LiveDashboard from 0.8.7 to 0.9.0.
• Update Alpine.js from 3.15.12 to 3.16.1.
• Update Prettier from 3.9.5 to 3.9.6.
• Update GitHub Actions actions/checkout from 7.0.0 to 7.0.1.
• Update GitHub Actions docker/login-action from 4.4.0 to 4.6.0.
