YoutubeDL-Material v2.1 Release Notes
Release Date: 2020-02-11 // over 4 years ago-
⚡️ Minor update inbound!
Some additional features:
- 👀 There is now a download-only setting in the configuration which defaults to false. This will, instead of streaming the video/audio to the user, download the files directly onto the user's computer. Turn it on to see if you like it! It will make YoutubeDL-Material feel more like some of the alternatives out there. Shoutout to @UltraTV for the suggestion!
- With file management enabled, new video and audio files will be automatically added to the list with no need for a manual refresh
Notes regarding the download-only setting:
- ✅ Many iOS versions lack the ability to download video and audio content from Safari. As a result, the content will be streamed instead on iOS devices. Newer versions don't appear to have this limitation, but we will require additional testing and research before allowing downloads.
- The download-only mode will extend the download time as the entire file is sent to the client before finishing, rather than a stream. For large videos in a low-bandwidth environment, this may make downloads noticeably longer.
