What's new in Tubulator 2 1.1.4 Build 100
May 3, 2020
- Fixed bug which masked itself as Tubulator seemingly trying to connect, but never getting any response. Also fixed actually showing the bug instead of just “Connecting…”
New in Tubulator 2 1.1.3 Build 100 (Apr 12, 2020)
- Massively improved UI responsiveness in Downloads pane when selecting/deselecting items. This was very sluggish when the number of items were in the 100+ range.
- Download pane now shows complete source domain name (for example www.youtube.com instead of just Youtube)
- Improved support for m3u8 segments
- Limited file names to 255 characters, as this was causing problems in some cases.
- Adjusted part timeout as this proved too short for slow downloads. In addition, the part download timeout was never caught, which would make some downloads seemingly continue forever.
- History/bookmarks: Added text filter and column sorting.
New in Tubulator 2 1.1.1 Build 110 (Oct 14, 2019)
- Fixed a possible stall problem.
New in Tubulator 2 1.1.1 Build 100 (Sep 27, 2019)
- Fixed problem where downloads would stall. In some cases this problem would persist until application relaunch.
- Fixed problem downloading certain type of files
- Preferences: Added “Audio conversion option”, where you can choose to always convert to the selected audio format, or to keep the audio if it’s already AAC (M4A) or Vorbis. By skipping conversion in those cases, conversion quality loss can be avoided.
- Downloads, download item: “Download Format” changed to “Download Type” (Audio/Video), since we can’t always be sure what format is being picked in the end.
New in Tubulator 2 1.1.0 Build 200 (Sep 23, 2019)
- Bandwidth selector is removed until further notice. Not sure if anyone is even using it?
- Upgrade to Qt 5.12.2. This does unfurtunately mean a MUCH larger application due to the transition from QWebKit to QWebEngine and a few new bugs I’ve trying to work my way around. Fortunately, it also means that some older Qt bugs now has been fixed on the MacOS platform.
- Small UI adjustments here and there, most due to Qt upgrade.
- This version introduces the integration with an external download helper, which is automatically downloaded. The download helper is the (to some) well known youtube_dl tool, packaged with a standalone version of Python.
