UPDATE 10/9/23: Had to replace the MacYTL dmg file as MacYTDL wasn't notarized and the Help and Release notes files had the wrong permissions. My apologies.

This release includes a facility to install “nightly” releases of YT-DLP. The nightly builds provide quick access to the latest fixes and changes. The installed version can be switched to the latest stable release as desired. All the other changes in this release are bug fixes.

  • Users can now install “nightly” releases of YT-DLP using the Utilities dialog. The nightly releases are the most up-to-date available and include all changes made to YT-DLP to that point. There can be a number of nightly builds each week.
  • The gap between the title bar and window content of all windows has been reduced to provide some more screen real estate.
  • The MacYTDL Service now prefers the URL of the active web browser window to any URL stored in the Clipboard. Previously, URLs remaining in Clipboard from earlier actions could be preferred even though they were invalid and/or did not relate to any video download.
  • The automatic updates to the MacYTDL Service will now function. There were bugs in the update code which prevented the Service from being updated.
  • Automatic downloads with subtitles should now work instead of causing an error.
  • “Get formats list” should now work with YouTube, ABC iView and SBS OnDemand videos instead of crashing.
  • Utilities dialog should be wide enough to show all contents.
  • Utilities dialog should show the actual installed YT-DLP version number instead of an old version.
  • MacYTDL should now record live streams from SBS Australia.
  • Attempting an auto-download when download folder not available should no longer cause a crash.
  • It’s now more likely that the MacYTDL Service will be removed from the Services menu when the Service is removed using the Utilities dialog.
  • All kinds of downloads from SBS Australia should now work – enabled by fixes to YT-DLP.
  • The SBS “Chooser” should now work again – code was searching for the wrong text.
  • The “Adviser” dialog should show more reliably.
  • Text in the “Monitor” dialog is less likely to overlap with the MacYTDL logo.
