VRKA 4.0.0 — Build 016

Lightweight, resilient desktop media downloader for Windows 10/11 x64.

VRKA 4.0.0 (Build 016) is the first major release of the next-generation desktop media engine, featuring a complete native Qt 6 QML interface, strict-FIFO persistent task scheduling, and an automated passive Browser Fallback subsystem.


Highlights & Key Features

  • Native Qt 6 QML Desktop Interface: Hardware-accelerated Qt Quick UI delivering fluid animations, responsive layouts, high-DPI scaling, and native Windows styling.
  • UPLINK Telemetry Console: Real-time sidebar telemetry tracking queue state (Queued, Active, Archived, Done).
  • Compact Theme Toggle: Integrated Day / Night mode toggle with an animated sliding indicator and instant semantic palette switching.
  • Selectable Multi-Line Activity Log: Real-time download diagnostics supporting full text selection (Ctrl+A) and clipboard copying (Ctrl+C).
  • Passive Browser Fallback Subsystem: Seamless fallback using isolated WebView2 with uBlock Origin Lite content protection to capture HLS master playlists, DASH manifests, and direct MP4 streams.
  • Durable Task Scheduler: Persistent FIFO single-worker execution engine backed by atomic state recovery in tasks.json.
  • Managed Media Processing Runtime: Automatically provisions and cryptographically verifies required media processing components (yt-dlp and pinned FFmpeg 9.0.1) in %LOCALAPPDATA%\VRKA\runtime—no manual tool installation or PATH configuration required.
  • Precise Audio Transcoding: High-fidelity audio extraction for MP3 (320, 256, 192, 128 kbps), WAV (uncompressed PCM), and FLAC formats.
