Snag v1.1.0 — AI Summarize

What's new (v1.1.0) — AI Summarize

A new Summarize tab turns any YouTube video, playlist, or channel into a clean Markdown article written by the AI endpoint you configure.

• Summarize page: 3-step pipeline — fetch transcript → review → AI article, with copy and download.
• Transcripts: single video, playlist, or whole channel. Collections are combined into one document; videos with no captions (or that time out / fail) are skipped so one bad video never blocks the rest.
• Parallel fetching: collection transcripts now fetch in parallel (4 workers) — large channels are much faster.
• AI settings: endpoint, model, API key, temperature, timestamps, and an editable system prompt — stored in the app's SQLite database, editable in Settings. No hardcoded endpoint or key.
• One-time setup: a skippable AI setup prompt on first launch (configurable later in Settings).
• Changelog: new in-app Changelog tab and docs page, version by version.
• Quick setup guide: collapsible setup card on the home page (Docker, Compose, source, systemd, PM2, Mac/Windows).
• Docker fix: the image now includes the yt_summarize/ pipeline scripts (previously missing, which broke Summarize in Docker).

Requirements

yt-dlp and ffmpeg on PATH (unchanged), plus youtube-transcript-api (now in requirements.txt). For Summarize you must configure an OpenAI-compatible endpoint in Settings.

Upgrade (Docker)

docker pull ghcr.io/drbiobit/snag:latest
docker rm -f snag
docker run -d --name snag -p 8000:8000 -v ./downloads:/data -v ./config:/config ghcr.io/drbiobit/snag:latest

Your downloads and account are untouched. AI settings are optional — the app is fully usable without them.

Source

A clean source tarball (snag-1.1.0.tar.gz) is attached. To run from source:

tar xzf snag-1.1.0.tar.gz && cd snag-1.1.0
pip install -r requirements.txt
python snag.py    # -> http://localhost:6909

Snag v1.0.2

What's new (v1.0.2)

• SQLite auth: credentials and session secret now stored in a single snag.db database instead of users.json + secret files. No more visibility or permission issues in the downloads folder.
• Download history: every download is logged to the database. New History page shows past downloads with status, file, size, and timestamp. Buttons to clear history or reset credentials.
• Docker: Alpine 3.20 base image (~312 MB). Auth data lives on the /config volume (SNAG_CONFIG_DIR), downloads on /data (DOWNLOAD_DIR).
• Fix: file tracking now correctly captures the final merged/converted file (was showing intermediate format streams).
• Docs: updated for SQLite, Alpine, and the new config directory.

Upgrade

docker pull ghcr.io/drbiobit/snag:latest
docker rm -f snag
docker run -d --name snag -p 8000:8000 -v ./downloads:/data -v ./config:/config ghcr.io/drbiobit/snag:latest

Your downloads volume is untouched. You will need to create a new account on first login (old users.json is no longer read).

Snag v1.0.1

What's new (v1.0.1)

• Fix (Docker): auth data (users.json, secret) now persists on the /data volume. Previously DATA_DIR defaulted to ./data inside the container while DOWNLOAD_DIR defaulted to /data (the mounted volume). On every container restart the /app layer reset, wiping the user store and making the app re-prompt for account setup — which made it look like downloads weren't saving to the configured directory. Downloads were actually being written to the volume correctly; the user just couldn't reach the downloads page because they kept hitting the setup screen.

  Fixed by setting DATA_DIR=/data in the Dockerfile and docker/docker-compose.yml so auth data lives on the same mounted volume as downloads.

• README: documented the fix and the upgrade procedure (pull latest, recreate container, volume is untouched).

Upgrade

docker pull ghcr.io/drbiobit/snag:latest
docker rm -f snag
docker run -d --name snag -p 8000:8000 -v ./downloads:/data ghcr.io/drbiobit/snag:latest

Your volume is untouched, so downloads persist. If you were hit by the old bug, your account may need to be re-created once — downloads in the volume are unaffected.
