Multron Download Manager Files

Multron Download Manager v0.0.2

A small update for Linux, and the first version that installs itself through automatic updates.

New: FFmpeg installs itself on Linux

FFmpeg is needed for most video downloads, because sites such as YouTube send video and audio separately, and for MP3 conversion. Until now Multron Download Manager installed it automatically only on Windows and macOS; on Linux you had to install it with the package manager, and the AppImage did not bring it at all.

• On Linux (x86_64 and arm64) FFmpeg is now downloaded automatically on the first video or music download, the same way as on Windows. It also works from the AppImage, so distributions without a .deb or .rpm package, such as Arch Linux and CachyOS, need nothing extra.
• You can also install or reinstall it from Settings → Media.
• An FFmpeg that is already installed on the system is still used and left to the package manager. The copy that Multron Download Manager installed is checked for updates once a week.
• If FFmpeg cannot be installed automatically, the hint in Settings → Media now also shows the Arch Linux command (sudo pacman -S ffmpeg).

Updating

• From v0.0.1: v0.0.1 updates itself to this version the next time it starts. On Linux, the .deb and .rpm packages ask for your password once to install the update; the AppImage replaces itself.
• New installs: pick the file for your system from the table below.

For everything that came with the first release, including the download engine, video and torrent downloads, the browser extension and the Linux packages for each distribution, see the v0.0.1 release.
