V2.5.4

Features

• on_open_url_handler

  • Event function that is run right before the url handler is opened.
  • Takes in the urls that were opened as function arguments.

• Added much more information to ytfzf --help

Addons

Extensions

• subscription-manager, adds 2 options, --add-sub, and --remove-sub to help manage the subscriptions file.

Scrapers

• picture scraper, scrapes $XDG_PICTURES_HOME or if a search is given, will scrape that instead.
  • If :w or :wallpaper is given as the search, it will search possible wallpaper folders.
  • Export YTFZF_PICTURES_WALLPAPER_PATH with different paths separated by : to change this.
    • By default, it will search:
      1. /usr/share/wallpapers
      2. /usr/share/backgrounds
      3. ~/.local/share/wallpapers
      4. ~/.local/share/backgrounds

Thumbnail Viewers

• Added foot thumbnail viewer
  • Extremely basic, does not try to position itself in a correct location

Changes

• ytfzf instance information is stored in $YTFZF_TEMP_DIR instead of $cache_dir
  • $cache_dir is now only used if $keep_cache is 1, and for files such as search history.
  • $YTFZF_TEMP_DIR defaults to /tmp/ytfzf-$user-id
• alt-p is now ctrl-p and it doesn't leave the menu.
  • if you want it to be alt-p again set, next_page_action_shortcut="alt-p" in your config file.

Technical Changes

• sort_video_data_fn no longer takes in the old ytfzf line format, instead it takes in jsonl of videos.
  • Same goes for video_info_text
• The way previews work in fzf has been refactored completely to enable more possibilities with fzf
• search history is now a fake extension
• history is also a fake extension

Fixes

• long standing bug where -l doesn't save position in fzf

• some @channel youtube links dont find the correct uuid.

• some addons didn't have dependancy checks.

• Preview doesn't work when selecting multiple videos (#612)

• -s, --search-again is broken (#613)

Plans For Next Update

• Scraping shorts from a youtube channel
• making an addon to make --sort work with busybox (possibly using perl or another scripting language)
• viewed date for history (#626)
