FAFI v1.5.1

YouTube playback works again, and seeking in streams finally behaves like YouTube.

YouTube: bot check defeated

YouTube started demanding "Sign in to confirm you're not a bot" from busy IPs — every
resolve and download failed, whatever the player client. FAFI now hands yt-dlp the
cookies of your own browser (Firefox preferred — including the Microsoft-Store
install — otherwise your system default browser). No setup needed; if the cookie store
is unreadable, FAFI automatically retries without cookies, so nothing gets worse.
Override with FAFI_YTDLP_BROWSER=<browser> or disable with FAFI_YTDLP_BROWSER=0.

Seeking in streams, YouTube-style

  • Jumping past the downloaded part of a smooth-mode session no longer freezes the
    image for minutes: the session switches to live streaming at the target position
    (range requests reach any offset in moments). Further seeks stay instant.
  • If the video has to wait for data after a seek, the audio now freezes with the
    image     and both resume together, exactly in sync — no more sound running ahead of a
    frozen frame, no A/V gap afterwards.
  • Streams no longer remember resume positions (local files still do): re-entering
    a URL used to resume-seek into a fresh download with no data there yet — black
    screen, silent audio. Streams now always start clean at 0.

Small comforts

  • The URL field (U) pre-fills with the last entered URL — Enter replays it,
    typing or Ctrl+V replaces it.
  • Stale auto-fetched subtitles from a previous video can no longer appear on the
    wrong video.
