Version 1.31.2 – A bug fix and two changes

20 days ago

This release fixes a bug that became apparent in macOS 12 Monterey. I took the opportunity to make two more changes.

  • For some reason, updating yt-dlp on macOS Monterey, and perhaps other macOS versions, causes a crash. Yet, it does not cause a crash on macOS Tahoe. A small change has fixed the crash on Monterey and not affected Tahoe.

  • A MacYTDL user, Michel, has provided more translations into Spanish for text that I missed.

  • Previously when the user asked for a nightly version of yt-dlp to be updated, because yt-dlp nightly releases usually were released nightly, the update was done without further intervention. However, nightly releases are now often not released for some days or even weeks. Thus, MacYTDL was installing yt-dlp on top of an up to date copy which was annoying for users.

    That has been corrected. If a newer nightly version is available the function will now ask the user whether to update. Otherwise, it will advise that the installed copy is up to date. This change has been applied in Utilities and when the yt-dlp version is checked on startup.

I'm gradually getting on top of applying a background image to the DMG file. One of these days I'll also find a way to get the MacYTDL logo to stick on the DMG file users download. I can set the custom icon but it's ignored by macOS after I use Disk Utility to convert the DMG file to read only. Odd.
