V2.5.3

Features

• With the youtube-channel scraper, if the first word in the search is :videos, :streams, or :playlists it will scrape that tab from the channel.

  • --type=live, --type=playlist, --type=video, and --type=all also all work

• the youtube-channel, and invidious-channel scrapers now accept @user channel links

  • Example: ytfzf -cyoutube-channel @pewdiepie
  • @user will also work with --channel-link
  • @user will also work in subscriptions files (but will print a warning)

• swayimg-hyprland thumbnail viewer, forces swayimg to work on hyprland

  • is a little hacky and will mess up rules you have for swayimg

Documentation

• The documentation misleadingly stated to set addon variables directly instead of using the load_* counterpart.
  • for example: the docs said to use url_handler=handler instead of load_url_handler "handler"

Changes

• Files stored in /tmp have a ytfzf prefix to be cleaner. (#596 @ammgws)

Technical

• Make the internal _get_request function a general utility function

Fixes

Bold = big fix.

• -c S

  • -cSI may still be broken depending on whether the invidious instance has updated to the newest version of invidious.

• Thumbnails did not take into account how many text lines were produced (this is especially noticeable if the video has a description)

• --preview-side was broken with swayimg

• --pages and --pages-start were broken with -c invidious-playlist

• Thumbnails don't load in busybox

• Playlists are out of order

• Custom keypress functions not returning correct exit code

• -c R does not work

• If $YTFZF_SYSTEM_ADDON_DIR does not exist, and --list-addons is used, an unnecessary error is printed.
