Version 1.16 adds new options and more bug fixes:

  • New option to limit download speed – download rate specified in MB/sec.
    • Does not work if downloading is delegated to FFmpeg e.g. some HLS downloads
  • New option to download auto-generated subtitles (or “captions”) from YouTube.
    • MacYTDL respects youtube-dl behaviour – if both author and auto-generated subtitles are available, author is downloaded.
  • Australian SBS “OnDemand” show pages are now parsed – provides a list of episodes from which to choose.
  • Implemented Spanish localisation.
    • Main, Utilities and Settings dialogs reformatted to more suit Spanish.
  • New option to set the codec format for audio-only downloads.
    • Audio format options removed from File format chooser as they are not supported by youtube-dl.
  • Container can now be remuxed when audio-only is specified. However, audio codec is automatically changed to be compatible with the container.
  • MacYTDL can now be renamed without crashing e.g. “MacYTDL v1.16”. However, not all functions perform ideally so, it's best not to change the name.
  • Better handling of YouTube playlists.
    • Simulate stage waits till end of simulation before reporting errors.
    • Playlist name shown in response file name, Monitor dialog and Adviser dialog for most downloads.
  • The “Adviser” script, when requested, opens the user’s default text editor instead of TextEdit.
  • Removed duplicated code which checked for install of youtube-dl and FFmpeg.
  • Better handling of warnings and errors in the simulation step.
  • Handles more gently attempts to download from the Australian 7Plus, 10play and 9Now show pages.
  • Monitor dialog more often shows name of download instead of “the-error” or “the-warning”.
  • “avi” and “mkv” removed from File format chooser as they are not supported by youtube-dl.
  • Minor code changes to reduce errors.
  • Utilities dialog should work properly for users who install a custom brewed version of FFmpeg.
  • “IOError: CRC check failed” cases handled more elegantly.
