Hello everyone!

This is release 5.7.0 of FPD.
We now have a unraid template!

Thanks to everyone on our Discord and on GitHub who helped in beta testing, finding bugs, requesting features etc.

As of this release the floatplane download servers are still down, you will need to wait for https://status.floatplane.com/ to show Downloads as being Operational before downloading videos can resume
You can still setup the downloader in the mean time. It's expected this will be restored in the next few days from this release.

Breaking Changes!

With most releases there are no breaking changes, you can just update and continue as usual. This update however contains some key config format changes that will not allow you to use the same settings.json going forward, mainly due to switching to using the new floatplane subscription channel's etc.

To update please backup or rename your settings.json and go through the setup process again.
After doing so its easy to edit your settings.json to be in line with your previous.

Notable Changes

  • 3d6725d & a1a498f: Removed downloadThreads, retries, downloadEdge & channelAliases settings. With Floatplane API changes coming/implemented these settings either have no effect or cause issues if not set to specific values.
  • 3a9d44f: Switched to using new the beta.floatplane.com subscription channels. Non Floatplane channels Talklinked, TechLinked Shorts, The WAN Show & LMG Livestream VOD's have been kept.

New Features/Settings

  • b55ae2d: Added the ability to filter/match videos to channels using runtimeLessThan/runtimeGreaterThan identifier types. This lets you easily use a "skip" channel to avoid downloading say all videos over/under a certain runtime. Thanks @vodkapmp for the suggestion #135
  • a981923: Added some more robust download recovery thanks to #137 from @Jdbaii
  • 1dcded9: Added new seekAndDestroy functionality allowing you to download specific videos by specifying their post ids in settings.json #140 thanks @DasherPack
  • a34b513 & 4de6682: Added extras.promptVideos setting allowing for selection of which videos to download in the console (non headless) #143 thanks @TakenMC

Special thanks to @rpungello & @Rokton for your PR's!
