Highlights

  • Explore opens any site. Type an address or follow any link, and sign in to other sites there; downloads from those sites use that sign-in when they need it. Plain text in the address bar searches with the Search engine you pick in Settings.
  • Smaller download, FFmpeg installed once. Arroxy downloads FFmpeg on first launch and keeps it across updates. If that fails, it uses your own FFmpeg, or Set it up manually installs one with Homebrew or WinGet.
  • Honest about rate limits. Arroxy says when a site is rate-limiting you and waits before asking again. Try now skips the wait.
  • A clearer single-video download. Continue on the Format screen leads to Review, which now holds subtitles, SponsorBlock, extras, the folder and the file name. Download is still there if you don't need Review.
  • Update your profile from any download. When you change something, Format and Review show what differs from your profile, with buttons to update it, save it as a new profile, or undo.
  • Switching profile keeps your edits. Arroxy asks whether to keep your changes or reset to the new profile.
  • Video, no audio. The Format screen offers Video + audio, Video, no audio, Audio only and Subtitles only, like the profile editor.
  • Every codec at every resolution. Each resolution lists AV1, VP9 and H.264 side by side, so you can pick H.264 even when your profile prefers AV1.
  • Profiles can prefer VP9 or H.264. A new Video codec setting in the profile editor's Advanced section takes either first, without giving up resolution or HDR.
  • Stream tags. The Format screen marks AI-upscaled, AI-dubbed, enhanced-bitrate, 360°, damaged and watermarked streams.
  • Profiles skip AI-upscaled streams. A setting in the profile editor's Advanced section allows them.
  • Arrange the Downloads table. Drag a header to move or resize its column, or use the keyboard. Reset columns in the columns menu puts them back.
  • Put your profiles in order. Drag profiles on the Profiles tab, or move them with the keyboard. Every profile picker follows your order.
  • Free memory while away. A new Explore setting (off by default) closes the Explore page when you leave it and restores it when you come back.
  • Zoom in Explore. The zoom button in Explore's toolbar makes pages larger or smaller, and Arroxy remembers your zoom.

Fixes

  • Converting to MP3, M4A, Opus or WAV uses the audio language you chose, and starts from a stream already in that format when there is one. Arroxy says when the audio is copied as it is rather than re-encoded.
  • Converting a Dolby surround track to Opus no longer fails.
  • Audio only downloads give an audio file on sites whose streams all carry video, such as Twitch clips and Dailymotion, instead of the whole video.
  • Switching from Audio only back to video picks what your profile would, not the largest stream.
  • Sizes show for sites that don't report them, such as Instagram and Facebook, and each resolution is listed once. Facebook's HD and SD files are listed separately.
  • Streams without a resolution are listed as "Unknown resolution".
  • Vimeo's audio streams are listed once each, by quality, instead of as identical copies.
  • The "This video only goes up to…" notice no longer shows for ultra-wide videos that meet your profile's resolution.
  • A playlist row assigned to a profile you later hid shows that profile, which is the one it downloads with.
  • Format chip hints show the video bitrate and open as soon as you hover.
  • A slow format lookup can be cancelled.
  • A site whose stream list is gone no longer triggers a second lookup.
  • YouTube downloads use YouTube's download token again.
  • Part of video downloads show real progress, speed and time left.
  • The progress bar keeps moving while the audio of a video downloads, instead of sitting near 100%.
  • Downloads that use FFmpeg no longer show a stray "Merging…" label.
  • Subtitles embedded into MKV get the right language tag for every ISO 639-1 language.
  • A download saved as another file type, such as MKV, now gets its subtitles embedded, and its row in Downloads points at the saved file.
  • A playlist title ending in an emoji or accented letter no longer leaves a broken character in its folder name.
  • Vimeo OTT titles show accents, dashes and quotes correctly.
  • A copied link replaces the URL field, with Undo, instead of asking first. One copied while Arroxy is busy fills in once you're back on the Download tab.
  • youtube-nocookie.com links are treated as YouTube links.
  • Help for exporting a cookies.txt file shows only when you use one.
  • First-time setup no longer gives up on slow connections, and Try again resumes instead of starting over.
  • The hotkey recorder accepts Shift and Option combinations, arrows, punctuation and the numpad.
  • The Download menu and the Downloads column picker work with the keyboard.
  • In a small window, the footer's links shrink to icons so the language and theme settings stay visible.
  • On a wide window, the download steps are centred and the Explore browser fills the window. A scrolling table keeps its header in view.
  • A busy download queue no longer slows the app down.
  • Logs and feedback diagnostics no longer include signed stream URLs or YouTube tokens.
  • The Vimeo OTT title lookup can no longer reach addresses on your local network.
  • Updating with Homebrew works again on Homebrew 6 and later. The update banner's command, and Run & Restart, now name Arroxy's cask in full (brew upgrade --cask antonio-orionus/arroxy/arroxy), so Homebrew no longer refuses it as coming from an untrusted tap.

Good to know

  • Explore's ad blocker now starts off, since it broke too many sites. Turn it on from the shield in Explore's toolbar.
  • The daily heartbeat now also says roughly how long ago Arroxy was installed, still with no ID. You can turn it off in Settings.
  • Arroxy is now licensed under the GNU GPL v3 or later. 0.6.2 and earlier releases stay under MIT, and the yt-dlp-bridge and ytdlp-errors packages stay MIT.
