Youwee v0.19.0

Beautiful and Ultimate yt-dlp GUI & Video Downloader - Processing - Free & Open Source

What's New

Added

• Library collections - Added automatic Library collections for expanded playlists, channel downloads, and split chapter files
• Library delete behavior - Added a setting to choose whether deleting a Library item also deletes the media file
• Frame rate - Added an option to prefer 30 FPS downloads in Download, Universal, and Channels, with a clear quality warning
• Downloaded video memory - Added an optional setting to detect videos already in Library across Download, Universal, Gallery, and Channels, with ask, skip, or allow duplicate handling
• Split tool - Added an optional item action to split completed media files into named segments using FFmpeg

Changed

• Library history - Removed the max history entries setting so Library can keep downloaded video records until users delete them
• Library summaries - Refined Library item actions and moved full AI summaries into a dedicated reader dialog with text size controls
• Queue download folders - Ask whether queued items should use the new folder when the global download folder changes

Fixed

• Extension cold-start links - Fixed browser extension download links opening Youwee without adding the video on cold app launch
• AI Summary numbering - Fixed ordered lists restarting at 1 when rendered with blank lines between topics
• Channel fetch controls - Added a stop action for channel video fetching and avoided re-fetching when opening a just-browsed followed channel
• Duplicate dialog thumbnails - Fixed already-downloaded video dialogs showing a placeholder when the Library entry already has a thumbnail
• Settings icons - Fixed oversized Font Awesome icons breaking Settings layouts when icon CSS is unavailable
