yt_clipper Changelog (Post-Version-Unification)

This changelog records all the changes to yt_clipper after version numbers between the markup and clipper script were unified (ie since v3.7.0-beta.3.9.0-alpha.10 [2020.08.14]).

v5.12.0 [2023.03.04]

Clipper Changes

v5.11.1 [2022.11.09]

Clipper Changes

  • Fix some video players refusinga to play h264 video due to specifying format h264 instead of mp4 when encoding with libx264
  • Fix failure to generate clip when using --extra-ffmpeg-args/-efa without trailing whitespace (generates invalid ffmpeg command)

v5.11.0 [2022.11.06]

Clipper Changes

  • Add --video-codec/-vc option to select between video codecs vp9/vp8 and newly added support for h264
    • h264 support is still experimental and does not have support in the markup UI yet
    • You can use the yt_clipper_options helper script and type --video-codec h264 to use h264
    • You can also add --video-codec h264 to the default_args.txt file in the clipper install folder to use h264 encoding by default.

v5.10.0 [2022.10.31]

Clipper Changes

v5.9.1 [2022.08.31]

Clipper Changes

v5.9.0 [2022.06.30]

Clipper Changes

v5.8.0 [2022.05.08]

Markup Changes

  • Add button to download auto-saved markers data in marker data commands menu (G).
  • Add error flash message on failure to save markers data to browser local storage.
  • Fix: Use common-tags safeHtml over html on innerHTML injection to reduce xss surface, e.g. on loading markers data.

Clipper Changes

  • Fix requiring all youtube_dl alternatives to be installed.
    • Fatally log if no youtube_dl alternatives are available or if the specified youtube_dl alternative is unavailable.
    • Note: Use the --youtube-dl-alternative/-ytdla option to switch the alternative used (current default is yt_dlp).
  • Update yt_dlp dependency from 2022.03.08.2 to 2022.4.08.
  • Update ffmpeg dependency from 5.0 to 5.0.1.

v5.7.1 [2022.03.20]

Clipper Changes

  • Fix failing to generate clips when titleSuffix has single quotes or unicode (e.g. CJK) chars and video stabilization is enabled.
    • This fix uses a new temp folder in the yt_clipper folder with intermediate files needed for the two-pass nature of video stabilization.
    • The temp folder may be used for other intermediate files in the future if similar workarounds are required for issues with ffmpeg.
  • Update yt_dlp dependency from 2022.02.04 to 2022.03.08.2.

v5.7.0 [2022.02.10]

Clipper Changes

  • Add --format-sort/-S option for specifying the sorting used to determine the best audio and video formats to download.
    • The sorting is specified as a comma-separated list of sort fields that describe audio/video formats.
    • This option is ignored by youtube_dl but is supported by yt_dlp.
    • See https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp#sorting-formats for details and descriptions on available sort fields.
    • The default value of --format-sort/-S is set to use a sort closer to the behavior of youtube_dl.
      • The sort is similar to the default of yt_dlp but favors higher filesize and bitrate over specific codecs.
  • Update yt_dlp dependency from 2021.12.27 to 2022.02.04.

v5.6.0 [2022.01.23]

Clipper Changes

  • Add preprocess_hevc utility script that quickly processes hevc video files so they are compatible.
    • This utility script should only be necessary with some hevc input videos.
    • If you see errors like Invalid data found when processing input from ffmpeg try this utility script.
  • Fix corruption/artifacting of av1 video inputs with video stabilization enabled.
    • This required removing a sharpening filter intended to reduce blur introduced by video stabilization.
  • Fix failure to merge clips with single quotes in file path.
  • Update youtube_dl dependency from v2021.06.06 to v2021.12.17.
  • Update ffmpeg dependency from v4.4.1 to v5.0.

Documentation Changes

  • Add section on utility scripts that work without yt_clipper. For example, the merge utility script for merging input videos with ffmpeg.
    • Previously, utility scripts were grouped with helper scripts.
    • To add distinction between helper scripts that wrap yt_clipper and these other scripts, the term utility script was introduced.
