  • Successive Monitor dialogs are now positioned on the screen so that they do not completely obscure each other.
    “Download complete” message now shows correctly for playlists.
  • Should no longer crash downloading a playlist when an item is not available.
  • The check for existing downloads should be more accurate.
  • The MacYTDL Service, Send-URL-To-MacYTDL, now only shows in web browsers.
  • The MacYTDL Service now works in Microsoft Edge.
  • Monitor dialog text is smaller to enable more to be shown on screen at same time.
  • iView single episode show downloads no longer have duplicated names (was due to series and episode name being the same).
  • The “--restrict-filenames” parameter removed from all calls to youtube-dl. Was causing problems with special characters that were needed in file names etc.
  • Monitor “Stop” function now removes partially downloaded files from playlists.
  • Monitor “Stop” function now removes partially downloaded files which have names ending in “-2”.
  • A new function added asks user what to do if download video already exists. Choices are for existing file to be deleted and a new copy downloaded; new download to have a different name; or to cancel the download.
  • The “--prefer-ffmpeg” parameter removed from all calls to youtube-dl. Was unnecessary as it’s the default and MacYTDL currently provides no alternative.
  • The “Check for MacYTDL update” function now downloads the latest version successfully.
  • MacYTDL will no longer display a notice when the download file name contains the word “warning”.
  • A new function added to check that user’s preferred file format is available for download. If not, user can ask to: download the best format available; download best format and remux to preferred format; or cancel the download.
  • The Batch file is cleared if videos were downloaded and no errors reported.
  • MacYTDL warns if any errors were reported with a download whether or not the download completed successfully.
  • The file extension of a “description” file saved for a video is changed from “.description” to “.txt” when download folder path name has spaces.
