MediaFetch - Releases

Added

• Added a public downloader IP check through the running aria2 daemon, including a timestamp and specific failure diagnostics.
• Added regression tests for torrent search actions and the IP probe, including CI execution.

Fixed

• Torrent search download buttons now use the MediaFetch route and correctly submit the selected result's link.
• Nested button clicks, clipboard actions and HTTP failures are handled correctly.
• IP checks retain relevant proxy settings while excluding unrelated torrent/file options, and use bounded RPC timeouts.

Changed

• Added Nextcloud 35 to the supported App Store compatibility range while retaining Nextcloud 32–34 support.
• Added PHP 8.5 to the declared compatibility range while retaining PHP 8.2 support for older supported Nextcloud releases.
• Expanded CI PHP checks to PHP 8.2, 8.3, 8.4 and 8.5.
• Verified the existing MediaFetch occ command already uses the Symfony 7-compatible execute(...): int signature required by Nextcloud 35.
• This is a compatibility release; downloader behavior is unchanged from 1.1.0.

Changed

• Completed yt-dlp playlist items are imported into Nextcloud immediately after yt-dlp's after_move stage instead of waiting for the entire playlist job to finish.
• yt-dlp staging now defaults to /var/tmp/mediafetch instead of /tmp/mediafetch; administrators can override the work directory with the mediafetch app setting work_directory.
• Completed and failed yt-dlp items now appear together with aria2/HTTP/magnet history in the existing Complete Downloads and Failed Downloads views.
• The yt-dlp Downloads view now contains only running/importing jobs; completed and failed rows leave the live queue automatically.

Added

• Completed yt-dlp items briefly show ✅ after Adding to Nextcloud… before leaving the live queue.
• Running yt-dlp jobs can be cancelled once their process ID is known.
• Active aria2/HTTP/magnet downloads now expose a cancel action in addition to pause.
• Added Stop all downloads & reset to stop the current user's tracked yt-dlp/ffmpeg processes, remove active/waiting aria2 jobs and clear failed history while preserving completed history.
• Playlist entries that fail before a media file is created are recorded as failed yt-dlp items, including extractor errors when available.

Fixed

• Removed the deprecated yt-dlp --prefer-ffmpeg option; audio extraction continues through yt-dlp's normal ffmpeg post-processing flow.
• Already imported playlist items keep their completed state while later entries continue downloading or fail.
• A final workspace pass still imports sidecar files and recovers completed files if an immediate per-item import was not possible.
• Existing yt-dlp destination files are skipped during the Nextcloud import instead of being renamed into duplicate copies such as (1), (2) and so on.
• Stop all downloads & reset now keeps a live yt-dlp row visible when its process tree could not actually be terminated instead of falsely showing an empty queue.
• Reset correctly handles privileged VPN wrappers by terminating the www-data-owned yt-dlp/ffmpeg descendants first and allowing the root sudo/unshare/nsenter wrapper chain to unwind naturally.
• Corrected the remaining aria2 action route to use the mediafetch route namespace.

Changed

• yt-dlp downloads are now imported through Nextcloud's Files API instead of relying on internal file scanning.
• Added visible preparing, downloading, importing and completed states for yt-dlp jobs.
• Updated project links to point to the MediaFetch repository and issue tracker.

Fixed

• Fixed yt-dlp jobs appearing inactive immediately after submitting a download.
• Avoided false import errors while cleaning up temporary yt-dlp workspaces.
• Made completed HTTP, magnet and torrent downloads appear in Nextcloud without requiring a manual occ files:scan.
• Corrected the aria2 hook argument order (GID, file count, file path) and preserved paths containing spaces.
• Added a BitTorrent completion hook so multi-file torrents are scanned before seeding begins.
• Removed the remaining call to the deleted legacy folderScan class.

Added

• Rebranded the application as MediaFetch with the new app ID mediafetch.
• Added compatibility metadata for Nextcloud 32, 33 and 34.
• Added a MediaFetch navigation/settings icon.
• Added GitHub Actions checks for PHP syntax, app metadata and frontend builds.
• Added support for administrator-managed downloader wrapper binaries, including VPN wrapper setups.
• Added safe per-user allowlists for aria2 and yt-dlp options.
• Added a Nextcloud 34 compatible mobile navigation drawer.

Changed

• Updated frontend routes and translation domains from ncdownloader to mediafetch.
• Updated the folder selector to use the maintained @nextcloud/dialogs file picker.
• Updated Nextcloud frontend libraries for current Nextcloud releases.
• Renamed user-facing youtube-dl references to yt-dlp where applicable.
• Restricted the supported Nextcloud range to currently maintained releases (32–34) for the first MediaFetch release.
• Updated bundled PHP dependencies for PHP 8.2–8.4 and Nextcloud 34 compatibility.
• yt-dlp now downloads into a private temporary workspace and imports completed files through Nextcloud's public Files API.
• Removed the old forced folder scan after yt-dlp downloads and before opening the destination folder.

Migration

• Existing NCDownloader app and user settings are read through a legacy fallback and copied to the mediafetch configuration namespace when accessed.
• Existing per-user download folders, torrent folders, aria2 settings and yt-dlp settings remain available after migration.
• Existing NCDownloader download records are imported into the MediaFetch download table without deleting the legacy table during the first release.

Security

• Removed user-configurable VPN start/stop shell commands. VPN routing should instead be implemented by an administrator-controlled downloader binary or wrapper.
• Removed arbitrary command-execution options from personal yt-dlp settings.
• Removed unsafe filesystem, credential and RPC-related options from personal aria2 settings.
• Restricted personal yt-dlp output templates to filenames so users cannot escape the configured download directory.
• Removed the legacy direct use of Nextcloud's internal file scanner from the download workflow.

Tested

• Runtime tested successfully on Nextcloud 34.0.2 with PHP 8.4.
