Version 2026.01.27 - Build [Build: 84]
🚑 Hotfix Release: YouTube Format & File Size Visibility Restored
This is an urgent patch update addressing a critical regression in the YouTube extractor that caused video/audio formats and file sizes to not appear before download.
🔥 What was broken
Recent upstream changes on YouTube’s side caused the parser to fail during stream extraction.
As a result:
- Video and audio format lists appeared empty or incomplete
- File sizes were missing or shown as unknown
- Users could not make informed choices before downloading
- Downloads themselves were not always broken—but the preview and selection stage was effectively unusable.
🛠 What’s fixed in this release
- Updated YouTube parsing logic to handle the new response structure
- Restored reliable extraction of:
- Available video/audio formats
- Accurate file size metadata
- Improved resilience against partial or delayed page reload requirements
- Reduced false
ContentNotAvailable/ reload-related extraction failures
🧠 Technical notes
- This patch focuses strictly on parser stability and metadata recovery
- No UI changes were made
- No API or behavior changes for downstream consumers
- The fix is forward-compatible and does not rely on brittle hardcoded assumptions
⚠️ Why this update matters
Being unable to see formats or file sizes breaks a core promise of the app:
users should know exactly what they are downloading before they download it.
This release restores that guarantee.
✅ Recommended action
All users are strongly advised to update immediately, especially if:
- You see empty format lists
- File size is missing or always “unknown”
- YouTube downloads feel unreliable at the selection stage
