Beta version details

2.4 beta 3 (01-Jul-2025)

removed internal analyzer. To open Youtube URLs now must be configured yt-dlp. Read an updated documentation for details: yt-dlp
changed "youtube-dl" to "yt-dlp" everywhere in UI. It is not feasible to make this configurable or dynamic, and yt-dlp is the most widely used tool nowadays
[beta 3] moved Analysis options group from General to separate property page Analysis
[beta 3] added options group Analysis yt-dlp with a few options. About option Cookies from browser read in Authenticated access topic. Option Configure Allowed URLs was moved from Maintenance Third-party Binaries yt-dlp Filter, so now third-party binaries settings control only yt-dlp location, and how to use yt-dlp is configured only in this Analysis yt-dlp options group
[beta 2] switched to subtitles from yt-dlp
[beta 3] added more generic criterion Video-only to criteria in Condition for extra source and it is now the default. Previous default was "DASH Video", which for example does not cover cases, when there are video-only HLS streams. If you did not modify this option and available criteria in it, the new default should be selected automatically
[beta 3] added Video-only and Audio-only filters to the analysis cache window and quality selection window
yt-dlp Managed source in 64-bit filter version now uses asset yt-dlp.exe (previously used yt-dlp_x86.exe)
removed option path Prefer youtube-dl over internal analyzer
removed both youtube-dl options from Maintenance Third-party Binaries yt-dlp Location submenu as there were no releases for the last few years
removed Node.js executable (node.exe) from the packages - it was used only by the internal analyzer which is gone now
