Clipper Changes

• Fix failing to generate clips when titleSuffix has single quotes or unicode (e.g. CJK) chars and video stabilization is enabled.
  • This fix uses a new temp folder in the yt_clipper folder with intermediate files needed for the two-pass nature of video stabilization.
  • The temp folder may be used for other intermediate files in the future if similar workarounds are required for issues with ffmpeg.

yt_clipper v5.7.0 [2022.02.10]

Clipper Changes

• Add --format-sort/-S option for specifying the sorting used to determine the best audio and video formats to download.
  • The sorting is specified as a comma-separated list of sort fields that describe audio/video formats.
  • This option is ignored by youtube_dl but is supported by yt_dlp.
  • See https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp#sorting-formats for details and descriptions on available sort fields.
  • The default value of --format-sort/-S is set to use a sort closer to the behavior of youtube_dl.
    • The sort is similar to the default of yt_dlp but favors higher filesize and bitrate over specific codecs.
• Update yt_dlp dependency from 2021.12.27 to 2022.02.04.

yt_clipper v5.6.0 [2022.01.23]

  • This utility script should only be necessary with some hevc input videos.
