Project Updates

  • This packages deno in the container to take advantage of the latest major improvements from the amazing yt-dlp team. For additional context and reasoning, see here.
  • This adds full metadata embedding as indexed into the media file. You can update your existing media files in bulk with an action task, docs.
    • This is recommended to run to act as an additional backup, but it is quite slow…
    • In the future that embedded metadata can be used to recreate the index.
