Youwee v0.9.4
π¬ Youwee v0.9.4
A modern, beautiful YouTube downloader built with Tauri.
β¨ What's New
Added
- Processing output folder picker - Added a selectable output directory in Processing chat. Default stays the main video folder, and generated outputs now honor the selected folder for AI commands and quick actions
- Multi-file attachments in Processing AI chat - Processing chat now supports image/video/subtitle attachments (picker + drag/drop) with contextual previews and metadata
- Language request shortcut in Settings - Added a quick link in Settings β General for users to vote/request next language support on GitHub Discussions
- System tray app update action - Added a new tray menu action to check for Youwee updates directly from tray
Changed
- Deterministic subtitle/merge command generation - Processing command generation now handles subtitle burn-in and multi-video merge (including intro/outro ordering hints) before AI fallback for more reliable results
- Clearer system tray channel check label - Renamed "Check All Now" to "Check Followed Channels Now" to better reflect checking followed channels
- Simplified page headers - Removed leading title icons from Metadata, Processing, and AI Summary pages for a cleaner look
Fixed
- Video info fetch fails with authentication/proxy - Fixed yt-dlp argument ordering so cookie and proxy flags are inserted before the
--URL separator, preventingFailed to fetch video infoerrors while keeping downloads working - Stable channel update check always shows available - Fixed yt-dlp stable/nightly update check to read the installed channel binary version (
--version) instead of file-existence metadata, so "Up to date" is shown correctly after update - Bundled update status and binary source mismatch - Fixed bundled update flow to show latest available version in Settings and prefer the user-updated
app_data/bin/yt-dlpbinary when present, so updating bundled actually takes effect - Processing page video info redesign - Refreshed the section below player with a YouTube-style title + modern metadata chips, and removed hover color shift/shadow on codec badges for cleaner visuals
- Prompt Templates dropdown close behavior - Fixed Processing Prompt Templates dropdown to auto-close on outside click and Escape key
- Duplicate URL count in Universal input - Fixed the URL count badge showing duplicated number (e.g.
1 1 URL) in Universal URL input
