New commandline argument
--header(alias-H) which is compatible with cURL. This can be
convenient when using “Copy as cURL” functionality in Chromium DevTools. The syntax for the
argument is slightly different from the existing--add-headercommandline argument. -
On startup, check whether a newer version is available as a GitHub release, unless the
--no-version-checkcommandline option is enabled. -
Improve support for multiperiod manifests. When the contents of the different periods
can be joined into a single output container (because they share the same resolution, frame rate
and aspect ratio), we concatenate them using ffmpeg (with reencoding in case the codecs in the
various periods are different). If they cannot be joined, we save the content in output files
named according to the requested output file (whose name is used for the first period). Names
ressemble "output-p2.mp4" for the second period, and so on. -
New function
concatenate_periodsonDashDownloaderto specify whether the concatenation using
ffmpeg (which is very CPU-intensive due to the reencoding) of multi-period manifests should be
attempted. The default behaviour is to concatenate when the media contents allow it. -
Improved support for certain addressing types on subtitles (AdaptationSet>SegmentList,
Representation>SegmentList, SegmentTemplate+SegmentTimeline addressing modes). -
Significantly improved support for XLink semantics on elements (remote elements). In particular, a
remote XLinked element may resolve to multiple elements (e.g. a Period with href pointing to a
remote MPD fragment may resolve to three final Period elements), and a remote XLinked element may
contain a remote XLinked element (the number of repeated resolutions is limited, to avoid DoS
attacks).
