✨ Features
-
Reset All Settings: button has been added to Download Settings. One click restores every YTSage setting back to its default value with a confirmation prompt so you don't reset by accident
-
Download History Toggle: You can now choose whether YTSage keeps a record of your past downloads. Head to Download Settings → General → Download History to enable or disable history tracking. When disabled, no download entries are saved
( #152, Thanks to (@AlphaDeFcOn4))
🔧 Improvements
-
Faster FFmpeg Downloads: FFmpeg component downloads now use parallel byte-range requests (up to 16 simultaneous connections)
-
Windows Installer (Clean Upgrades): Upgrading between versions on Windows now properly removes stale executables (YTSage.exe, ffmpeg.exe, ffprobe.exe, old FFmpeg bundles) so leftover files no longer cause conflicts
🐛 Bug Fixes
- handle unavailable videos when fetching playlist formats: Previously, if a playlist contained videos that were unavailable (e.g., deleted or private), YTSage would fail to fetch the formats for the entire playlist. This has been fixed so that unavailable videos are skipped, and available videos are processed normally (#92, Thanks to (@oflodac))
📖 Documentation & README
- Interactive demo video added to the README and all 16 translated READMEs
- Installation section restructured to put the easiest method (pre-built app download) front and center, with Python/PyPI and source-code instructions clearly separated for advanced users
- Apple Silicon note added for macOS users, clarifying that installers are built natively for M1/M2/M3/M4 and Intel Macs should use the pip method
- FFmpeg auto-setup tip highlighted for Windows pip installs.
- Sponsor section updated, now includes Buy Me a Coffee and direct bank transfer / SWIFT options alongside GitHub Sponsors
- "Back to Top" navigation links added throughout the README for easier browsing
- Usage instructions refreshed across all translations to reflect the latest UI labels and the new multi-audio workflow
