-    * Changed default output template to `%(title)s [%(id)s].%(ext)s`
-    * Enabled `--list-formats-as-table`
+* **[Format Sorting](#sorting-format)** - The default format sorting options have been changed so that higher resolution and better codecs will be now prefered instead of simply using larger bitrate. Furthermore, you can now specify the sort order using `-S`. This allows for much easier format selection that what is possible by simply using `--format` ([examples](#format-selection-examples))
+
+* Merged with youtube-dl **v2020.01.08** - You get the new features and patches of [youtube-dl](https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl) in addition to all the features of [youtube-dlc](https://github.com/blackjack4494)
+
+* **New options** - `--list-formats-as-table`, `--write-link`, `--force-download-archive` etc
+
+and many other features and patches. See [changelog](Changelog.md) or [commits](https://github.com/pukkandan/yt-dlc/commits) for the full list of changes

-### 2021.01.07
-* Removed priority of `av01` codec in `-S` since most devices don't support it yet
-* Added `duration_string` to be used in `--output`
-* Created First Release

pukkandan	8c04f0be96	batch-file enumeration improvements (https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/pull/26813 ) Co-authored by: glenn-slayden Modified from `c9a9ccf8a3` These improvements apply to reading the list of URLs from the file supplied via the `--batch-file` (`-a`) command line option. 1. Skip blank and empty lines in the file. Currently, lines with leading whitespace are only skipped when that whitespace is followed by a comment character (`#`, `;`, or `]`). This means that empty lines and lines consisting only of whitespace are returned as (trimmed) empty strings in the list of URLs to process. 2. [bug fix] Detect and remove the Unicode BOM when the file descriptor is already decoding Unicode. With Python 3, the `batch_fd` enumerator returns the lines of the file as Unicode. For UTF-8, this means that the raw BOM bytes from the file `\xef \xbb \xbf` show up converted into a single `\ufeff` character prefixed to the first enumerated text line. This fix solves several buggy interactions between the presence of BOM, the skipping of comments and/or blank lines, and ensuring the list of URLs is consistently trimmed. For example, if the first line of the file is blank, the BOM is incorrectly returned as a URL standing alone. If the first line contains a URL, it will be prefixed with this unwanted single character--but note that its being there will have inhibited the proper trimming of any leading whitespace. Currently, the `UnicodeBOMIE` helper attempts to recover from some of these error cases, but this fix prevents the error from happening in the first place (at least on Python3). In any case, the `UnicodeBOMIE` approach is flawed, because it is clearly illogical for a BOM to appear in the (non-batch) URL(s) specified directly on the command line (and for that matter, on URLs after the first line of a batch list, also) 3. Adds proper trimming of the " #" into the read_batch_urls processing so that the URLs it enumerates are cleaned and trimmed more consistently.	2021-01-09 18:08:03 +05:30

pukkandan	6c40e33c9e	ffmpeg: ignore extra data streams #9 by jbruchon closes #2, blackjack4494#291 Authored by jbruchon	2021-01-08 01:08:21 +05:30
Jody Bruchon	e0da59fe54	ffmpeg: ignore extra data streams with `-dn` (fixes #2 ) Sometimes, video files will arrive with a timecode data stream that causes `-map 0` to error out due to the stream not being supported in the output container. These data streams generally do not matter, so tell ffmpeg to ignore them rather than choking on them.	2021-01-07 12:26:50 -05:00
