v2026.7.12
This release fixes the "missing mime type parameter in base URL" error (#7) caused by recent changes in the JSON dump format.
Additionally, yt-dlp options can now be passed to main commands, not only when downloading, but also when fetching video information. This is useful, for example, for loading cookies from a file to overcome the "Sign in to confirm you're not a bot" error:
ypb download -i <interval> <stream> -- --cookies file.txt
Important
A recent yt-dlp update (yt-dlp/yt-dlp#16771) added support for additional adaptive video formats, including VP9 and AV1 codecs (previously, format selection was limited to H.264). As a result, downloads may now use formats other than H.264. To control which formats are downloaded, review and update your format settings via the yt-dlp options. See Specify formats for guidance, or use a yt-dlp configuration file as usual.
Fixed
- Update dump format parsing and base URL handling (#7)
Added
- Accept passing yt-dlp options in main commands
