V2.5.5

For Package Maintainers

• the Makefile will now take care of changing the default YTFZF_SYSTEM_ADDON_DIR if it doesn't match PREFIX

---

Removed

• kitty thumbnail viewer is no longer builtin due to it not working with fzf in kitty version 0.27+ (see #636), it will remain an addon in case you have an older version of kitty.

Features

• add timezone for search history timestamp (@jpgichw #630)
• streams, and playlist tabs can be scraped with invidious-channel
• --disable-actions
  • Puts a blanket disable on all actions, including submenus, and the back button
• --sort=<name>
  • An easier way to load a sort name.
  • --sort=<0|1> will still turn sorting on/off

Addons

Interfaces

• sixel
  • Opens a very basic menu written in python but uses sixel to display thumbnails
• kitty
  • Opens the same menu as sixel, but uses the kitty protocol for thumbnails
• both sixel, and kitty require the sixel-menu folder.

Extensions

• smart-thumb-download
  • Instead of downloading thumbnails into that current process' cache directory, save thumbnails in $YTFZF_CUSTOM_THUMBNAILS_DIR, that way when the same results are loaded again there is no need to download the thumbnails again.
• auto-thumb
  • Automatically picks a thumbnail viewer based on the terminal, and current xdg session (wayland/X11/tty)

Scrapers

• video-info gets information on a youtube video when provided a link.

Changes

• A warning will no longer be printed for a non-absolute channel link such as: @pewdiepie

• By default $YTFZF_LOGFILE is empty instead of /dev/stderr

• -q sets $search_source to hist instead of hist:$search_source, essentially it will not prompt you if nothign is selected from history

• url_handler_opts is handled with eval instead of pure word splitting

  • this allows for quoting strings.

• Video descriptions are no longer folded to fit on half the width.

• Changed how SI scrapes subscriptions

Fixes

• invidious-channel scraper, also used in -cSI.
• ueberzug thumbnail viewer is broken
• ctrl-p on busybox
• When running make install with a custom prefix, the default YTFZF_SYSTEM_ADDON_DIR is not changed, this is an unecessary burden on the packager and end user.
• -s does not use $search_source, always uses prompt
• -f with --format-selection=normal with youtube-dl is broken
• Only one missing dependency could be shown at a time
• Kitty thumbnail causing problems (@greenfoo #628)
• ard extension scraper

Code

• Remove the unused ueberzug fd 3
