File Thumbnail Breaking #150

Closed GreatWaldo closed 1 day ago

GreatWaldo commented 4 days ago

Hello, I was using Open Video Downloader normally until November 4th. A downloaded video file did not display normally. In a video player app, it will flicker multiple times before playing like normal. This does not happen to every video downloaded but has become more frequent than when this first appeared.

I have no idea what causes this beyond assuming those breaking dependencies mentioned in the v3 announcement. The only user end fix I suspect might come from one video that failed to download from an error which said to "dump the cache" yet I have no clue what cache to dump, as the open-video-downloader folder lacks any .cache files. Until v3 comes out a month from now, can this bug be hotfixed?

Unfortunately I have no idea what could be causing this, possibly this is an issue in yt-dlp or ffmpeg

Thank you for explaining the problem. yt-dlp updated on November 4th so something might have broken with it.
