Version 1.20 – New features and more bug fixes

UPDATE – 23/3/22

Version 1.20 had a major bug making it impossible to use with YT-DLP. I have therefore deleted the two assets. It's best to stay with v1.19 until I release version 1.21 later this week.

Version 1.20 has some new features, some better behaviours and bug fixes. Alas, there are still some bugs which are proving difficult to squash.

• New option to add timestamps to response log files using the ets tool.
• New option to include custom youtube-dl/YT-DLP settings.
• Fixed a bug in which an Alert during components install might not automatically close.
• Fixed a bug in which users on macOS 10.14 and earlier switching to YT-DLP would get youtube-dl installed instead.
• MacYTDL should not quit if checking for MacYTDL updates while offline.
• “Keep original video and/or subtitles file” is now available in all post-processing cases. Previously it was only available if user specified a remux or required a subtitles conversion.
• The Service should behave more elegantly if a web browser is active but with no window open.
• The Service should show the MacYTDL logo in its warning dialogs.
• An alert is displayed reminding the user to wait when download of a playlist has being requested.
• The Monitor no longer closes if the “Logs” button is clicked.
• Text shown in the Monitor has been reduced – previously advice Monitor showed was obvious.
• The Monitor shows a “Logs” button for live stream downloads.
• Clicking on the “Play” button after stopping a live stream recording should work.
• Monitor no longer shows a warning dialog if the “Stop” button is clicked after a download has been completed.
• Recording SBS live streams should be more reliable.
• Playlists are no longer checked for live stream status – by definition a playlist should not contain a live stream as that would prevent later playlist items from being played. This should speed up playlist processing somewhat.
