Beta version details

3.10 beta 2 (13-Jun-2025)

[beta 2] Youtube-only: channels in yt-dlp now work similar to when using API: when adding a channel URL now is created a channel track (was playlist track) and context menu actions Get channel playlist, Get channel's uploads playlist are available (previously worked only the latter)
removed internal analyzer. To open Youtube URLs now must be configured yt-dlp. Read an updated documentation for details: yt-dlp
changed "youtube-dl" to "yt-dlp" everywhere in UI. It is not feasible to make this configurable or dynamic, and yt-dlp is the most widely used tool nowadays
yt-dlp Managed source in 64-bit component version now uses asset yt-dlp.exe (previously used yt-dlp_x86.exe)
removed option path Prefer youtube-dl over internal analyzer
removed both youtube-dl options from Maintenance Third-party Binaries yt-dlp Location submenu as there were no releases for the last few years
removed Third-party Binaries JavaScript and excluded Node.js executable (node.exe) from the component package - they were used only by the internal analyzer which is gone now
removed Managed source for madVR - binaries on the official site have been unavailable since the end of 2023, I guess
[beta 2] whether to use Youtube API or yt-dlp when opening channel and playlist URLs is now decided basing on the presence of the Youtube API key (was based on the option Prefer youtube-dl over internal analyzer). This concerns places where provider is not explicitly specified, for example, when opening channel URLs using File Add location...
[beta 2] search provider option youtube.web Playlist URL auto now decides which URL to construct basing on the presence of the Youtube API key (was based on the option Prefer youtube-dl over internal analyzer)
[beta 2] removed search provider youtube.api.related - corresponding API parameter relatedToVideoId was deprecated in Aug 2023 (time flies quickly)
