New in Stacher 6.0.24 (Nov 9, 2023)

  • Subscription download items are labeled by subscription title instead of url
  • Added advanced features in subscriptions to allow for custom before and after scripts. These scripts should exit with code 0 for success. Any other exit code will cause the download to stop entirely. Example: If you have a pre-script that executes and generates a list, you may want to exit with an error code if the list fails to generate so that Stacher doesn't try to use an input file that doesn't exist.
  • Added subscription support to read from a text file instead of URL. This can work with pre and post scripts if you have some external script that generates a list of urls. The file must contain one url per line and work with the yt-dlp --batch-file option
  • Added option to subscription to NOT break on already downloaded items
  • Updated notifications to be more informative
  • After a subscription downloads, the title of the item will display a NEW X where x is the number of new items downloaded
