🎬 Youwee v0.17.0

A modern, beautiful YouTube downloader built with Tauri.

✨ What's New

Command-line interface - Added a local youwee CLI with install controls, structured download requests, and options for quality, audio mode, queue-only, playlist handling, subtitles, download sections, live-from-start, and skip-live behavior
Skip live streams - Added a download setting to skip currently live videos from the YouTube and Universal interfaces
AI summary search - Added SQLite FTS5-powered Library search across titles, URLs, file paths, and saved AI summaries, with search scope controls for all content, details only, or AI summaries only
YouTube keyword search - Added a dedicated YouTube keyword search view with filter controls for upload date, duration, sort order, and video features, letting selected results be added directly to the download queue
Queue status tabs - Added compact status tabs to the YouTube and Universal queues for filtering videos by download state
Plugin SDK YouTube search bridge - Exposed app-managed YouTube keyword search to JavaScript plugins through ctx.youwee.youtube.searchVideos(...) with typed filters and continuation support

AI generation timeout - Expanded the AI Generation Timeout options up to 60 minutes and now applies the selected timeout to AI provider HTTP requests for long-video summaries
Application database filename - Renamed the internal SQLite database from logs.db to youwee.db with automatic migration from the legacy file while keeping the old file as a backup

Bilibili HTTP 412 - Added browser-like headers to Bilibili yt-dlp requests to prevent HTTP Error 412
