OxyDL v0.5.0 - Scheduler, Video Parser & Media Converter

OxyDL v0.5.0 - Scheduler, Video Parser & Media Converter

🚀 OxyDL v0.5.0 introduces calendar-based download queue scheduling, peak-hours bandwidth limiting, direct native video streaming extraction for YouTube & Vimeo, and an integrated FFmpeg audio/video media converter.

⏰ Automated Queue Calendar Timers

• Background Scheduler Engine: Automated queue lifecycle evaluation running independently in the background.
• Start & Stop Timers: Configurable 24-hour schedules (HH:MM) with active day-of-week toggles (Mon..Sun).
• One-Shot Calendar Dates: Target specific calendar execution dates (YYYY-MM-DD).
• Post-Download Automation: Automatically triggers PauseQueue, SleepComputer (suspend/sleep via Windows API / systemctl), or ShutdownComputer once downloads finish.

⚡ Peak-Hours Bandwidth Limiter (Speed Scheduler)

• Dynamically throttles download speeds during defined peak or business hours (e.g., 09:00 to 18:00).
• Configurable peak speed limits (KB/s) and off-peak speeds (custom or unlimited).
• Supports time windows spanning midnight (e.g., 22:00 to 06:00).
• Dedicated ⏰ Scheduler status button and modal dialog directly in the top toolbar.

🎥 Direct Video Streaming Parser (YouTube & Vimeo)

• Zero-Dependency Native Extraction: Resolves direct CDN playback URLs without python or external CLI wrappers.
• YouTube Parser: Queries YouTube InnerTube Android client API (/youtubei/v1/player) to fetch direct unencrypted progressive formats (720p, 360p) and adaptive streams (1080p, 1440p, 4K, audio-only M4A/WebM) with metadata and thumbnails.
• Vimeo Parser: Queries Vimeo player config API (player.vimeo.com/video/{id}/config) to retrieve direct progressive MP4 CDN URLs (1080p, 720p, 540p, 360p) and adaptive HLS master playlists.
• Stream quality chips directly inside the "Add New Download" dialog for instantaneous one-click quality selection.

🎬 Audio & Video Media Converter (FFmpeg Integration)

• Built-in media transcoding and audio extraction suite accessible via table right-click context menu (🎬 Convert / Extract Audio...) and toolbar.
• Multi-path discovery for local and system ffmpeg binaries.
• Output formats:
  • Audio: MP3 (320 kbps & 192 kbps), AAC (.m4a), FLAC (Lossless), WAV (PCM), and Direct Audio Stream Copy.
  • Video: MP4 (H.264 + AAC), MKV (Fast Remux), and WebM (VP9 + Opus).
• Non-blocking async background conversion with live percentage progress, transcoding speed multiplier, and cancellation.
