Youwee v0.17.2
A modern, beautiful YouTube downloader built with Tauri.
What's New
Changed
- Interface font and icons - Bundled the app font and icons so the interface stays consistent without relying on external CDN resources
- Plugin details layout - Changed imported plugin details in Settings to use tabs for Information, Requested Permissions, and Runtime & Compatibility
- Channel Load More - Changed Channel browse and followed-channel detail pages to use the floating Load More button style from YouTube keyword search
Fixed
- Music player visibility - Fixed the collapsed music player leaving an invisible overlay that could block buttons and restart playback when users clicked controls underneath
- Channel completion state - Fixed followed channel videos losing their completed state after reopening the app by persisting manual channel completions and restoring status from exact video IDs and existing history files
- Duplicate channel follows - Return the existing followed channel record when following the same URL again so video sync does not target a non-existent channel id
