FAFI v1.5.4

YouTube that keeps playing — the player now owns its session, and long videos no longer freeze mid-play.

Streaming robustness

  • Player-owned YouTube session. FAFI keeps its own local cookie jar
    (%LOCALAPPDATA%\FAFI\cookies.txt): imported once from your signed-in browser, then
    maintained by the player itself — YouTube keeps working with the browser closed (or none
    installed at all). A stale session is re-imported automatically, and a hand-exported
    Netscape cookies.txt dropped at that path works too. The cookies go to YouTube only and
    never leave your machine; opt out with FAFI_YTDLP_BROWSER=0 or by deleting the file.
  • Fix: long videos froze after ~40 seconds. YouTube now hard-rejects (403) plain video
    streams past ~40 MB — v1.5.3 and older stall on longer videos. FAFI detects the pattern
    and switches the source to segmented HLS (up to 1080p60) at the current position;
    exports retry over the same route.
