Youwee v0.9.1

🎬 Youwee v0.9.1

A modern, beautiful YouTube downloader built with Tauri.

✨ What's New

Fixed

• App crash on macOS without Homebrew - Fixed startup crash caused by missing liblzma dynamic library. The xz2 crate now uses static linking, making the app fully self-contained without requiring Homebrew or system libraries
• Auto-download ignores user settings - Channel auto-download now respects per-channel download preferences (Video/Audio mode, quality, format, codec, bitrate) instead of using hardcoded values. Each channel has its own download settings configurable in the channel settings panel
• Security hardening - FFmpeg commands now use structured argument arrays instead of shell string parsing, preventing command injection. Added URL scheme validation and -- separator for all yt-dlp calls to block option injection. Enabled Content Security Policy, removed overly broad shell permissions, and added isSafeUrl validation for rendered links
• Video preview fails for MKV/AVI/FLV/TS containers - Preview detection now checks both container format and codec. Videos in unsupported containers (MKV, AVI, FLV, WMV, TS, WebM, OGG) are correctly transcoded to H.264 preview. HEVC in MP4/MOV no longer unnecessarily transcoded on macOS
• Scheduled downloads not visible in tray mode - Desktop notifications now fire when a scheduled download starts, stops, or completes while the app is minimized to system tray. Tray menu shows active schedule status (e.g. "YouTube: 23:00"). Schedule works on both YouTube and Universal pages
• Quit from tray kills active downloads - Tray "Quit" now uses graceful shutdown instead of force-killing the process, allowing active downloads to finish cleanup and preventing corrupted files
• Dock icon setting lost on restart (macOS) - The "Hide Dock icon on close" preference is now synced to the native layer on app startup, not only when visiting the Settings page
• Universal queue shows skeleton instead of URL while loading - Replaced pulsing skeleton placeholder with the actual URL text and a "Loading info..." spinner badge. When metadata fetch fails, items now exit loading state gracefully instead of showing skeleton forever
