YTDLnis Changelogs

YTDLnis (v1.7.8)

Changelog:

Now you can enable incognito on the go and prevent the download from creating a history record of it when it's finished. If incognito mode is on, it will be enabled by default.
Now you can enable sync in observe sources when the app will match every video with what it has downloaded so far. So that if you delete a record from the playlist, the app will do the same.
Now you can select which screens you can show in the bottom navigation. Home and More are essential, so they can't be removed.
Available screens: Home, Downloads, Queue, Terminal, More.
You can also select the label visibility of the bottom navigation.
Prevented the user from spamming pause and resume, making the app confused in such a short period of time.
Re-implemented format importance sorting in the app, resembling the yt-dlp one.
Added feature to keep the screen on while the video plays in the cut player.
Fixed the app not adding a fallback to best audio when downloading audio formats using a format ID.
Made the app limit titles to 180 characters instead of 120.
Hid free space label in command mode if the app can't read the folder.
Fixed the app still using the cache folder when the app has all files access but the folder didn't exist.
Added ability to swap format source from piped to yt-dlp if the item is a YouTube video.
Added a feature to choose if you want to restore the backup or erase everything from the app and start fresh with just the saved data.
Moved some YouTube-focused settings to their own category in the general settings.
Other small things here and there.

Added download path in the history item details sheet
Fixed Download On Schedule feature. Switched back to AlarmManager as it's more accurate than WorkManager

Fixed app crashing when trying to tap adjust download in the errored notification, in case the user removed the download beforehand
Added ability to modify the download item in the queue. But to prevent the app from starting the download prematurely, it is moved to the saved category and after you hit ok it will be requeued. If you cancel the edit card, the item will stay in saved

Fixed app crashing when trying to open a download that has no duration in it. Now it's disabled
Previously the app would change the state of downloads to Paused, whether it is activepaused or queuedpaused. Since the app now simply pauses all downloads, there is no need to do such transformations especially when you could have many items in the queue. Now simply the app cancels the ytdlp instances and the download worker and stores a state whether the downloads are paused or not
Fixed album playlist track not being saved #482
