v1.0.8
DBase Video & Music Downloader 1.0.8
Reliability
- Auto-retry for flaky providers: transient TikTok extractor errors ("Unable to extract universal data for rehydration" and similar anti-bot glitches) are retried automatically up to 3 times, for both downloads and URL analysis. The final failure message now explains what happened instead of quoting raw yt-dlp output.
- Failed downloads stay in the Queue with a Retry button instead of disappearing into History; dismissing one files it under History. History gains a Retry all button that honors the active search/provider filters.
- Duplicate protection: the same URL and output format cannot wait in the queue twice, repeated failures replace the older history entry, Retry all collapses duplicated entries, and stored history is de-duplicated on startup.
Managing finished downloads
- Finished items show the real saved file name instead of an opaque
content://URI, plus a thumbnail preview on History cards (Android). - Rename saved files from the History item menu - the extension is preserved and illegal characters are cleaned up.
- MP3 tag editor (title / artist / album / comment) built on a dependency-free ID3v2.3 writer; embedded cover art and other frames survive edits.
- Opening a file that was deleted or moved now reports it clearly.
Tuning and flow
- Download Tuning settings map to yt-dlp: retries, fragment retries,
--sleep-requests,--sleep-interval/--max-sleep-interval, plus an app-side pause between queue items to avoid rate-limiting on long queues. - Shared links land on Home and analyze automatically, exactly like a typed link - format options appear with no extra taps.
- Clipboard link detection (optional, on by default): when the app comes to the foreground it offers to grab a link you copied. The clipboard is only readable while the app is on screen.
