V2023.6.1-rc1
A More Customizable Tube Converter 🛠️
Release Candidate 1 of V2023.6.1 is here! This release is packed with features, so lets get right into it!
Compared to beta 2, we added the ability to specify a specific timeframe of a media to download in Advanced Options. This will use ffmpeg as the downloader instead, but all other download customization (besides speed limit) will still apply. We also added the ability to turn on automatic cropping of audio thumbnails in Preferences, instead of having to manually turn it on each time in Advanced Options (although that option is still available).
Continuing with customization, we added the ability to specify a comma-separated list of language codes in Preferences that will be used to select the languages of subtitles to download and embed in a file. Previously only English and your system language were downloaded.
Finally, if a download fails (and was not stopped), Tube Converter will automatically retry the failed download one more time. If it fails again after that, it will be up to the user to retry the download.
