What's new?
The backend of UFC Ripper has been completely rewritten in Rust. While it may not have been necessary, as the developer of this project, I was really curious about the outcome. I mainly wanted to improve its performance, reduce its resource usage, make it easier to maintain, and do much smaller releases. And let's be honest, it's just plain cool! 😎
The previous version, which ran on Node.js, didn't have any tests (because I loathe writing them) and that led to a lot of pain in maintaining this application. Now, this version practically doesn't even need tests because, well, pretty much all of the errors that could occur are caught at compile-time. I no longer have to sweat profusely whenever I do any dependency or functionality updates. 🤷🏻♂️
Here's a comparison of resource weights of the two versions as a bonus:
| Version | CPU usage | Memory usage | Executable size | Docker image size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Node.js | 12% - 21% | 47 MB | 48.9 MB | 66.45 MB |
| Rust | 0.2% | 2.8 MB | 5.9 MB | 33.22 MB |
* CPU usage metrics are relative to the hardware it's running on, and it was tested while handling multiple downloads. Resource usage of third-party tools like yt-dlp and ffmpeg are omitted.
Feature changes from the previous version:
- Config file's schema is now strictly validated. Any invalid config values would make the application throw an error
- Search API requests are now proxied if a proxy is enabled
- The "Region" setting in the login is now effective without needing to save the configuration first
- Improved the clarity of error reporting significantly to reduce the ambiguity of error messages shown in the popups
- Internally, the yt-dlp events are now processed at a much slower pace which reduces CPU utilization significantly
- The Desktop version of the application will now keep the terminal window open on an error event, so the user can read any output
- On Windows, the application name will be properly displayed instead of the description, throughout OS process listings (ex: on Task Manager)
- Changed the default video quality to
bestvideo - A Windows installer is now available in each release
