A "Remove sponsor segments" switch next to "Split by chapters" queues
the download with the same postprocessor pair the CLI's
--sponsorblock-remove sponsor builds (SponsorBlock + ModifyChapters).
The flag persists as a cookie like the other form options, survives in
the queue records, and is carried into retries.
The pair is registered above the chapter-splitting block: yt-dlp runs
same-stage postprocessors in list order, so ModifyChapters has to
rewrite the chapter list before FFmpegSplitChapters cuts the file up,
matching what the CLI builds for --sponsorblock-remove sponsor
--split-chapters. With both toggles on the other way around the chapter
files keep the sponsor segments and the removal desyncs the remaining
chapter timings.

With the format picked per download rather than left on one setting, the
Downloading list gave no way to tell which item was queued as what until
it landed in Completed. The new column labels the format exactly as the
form does, reusing the same option lists, and falls back to the raw value
uppercased for a record queued before an option existed.

Clicking a row's checkbox with Shift held takes every row between it and
the last one toggled to the state the click produced, so a stretch of a
long queue can be cancelled without ticking each entry.
The range follows the order the rows are rendered in, which for the
Completed list is the sort the user picked rather than the order the map
holds; the master checkbox takes that order as an input. An anchor whose
row has since left the list (a download finishing moves it to Completed)
falls back to a plain toggle.

A subscription's name is captured once at subscribe time from the feed's own
title, so playlists — particularly the UULF-prefixed channel-uploads playlists
— all come back named "Videos" and stay that way. Adds an inline editor on the
Name cell, mirroring the existing title-filter edit next to it.
The update route already whitelisted `name` and update_subscription already
applied it, so this is mostly the missing UI. The backend side is validation:
the old `str(changes["name"])` accepted any type, any length and any
whitespace, for a value that is persisted and broadcast to every connected
client. validate_subscription_name now requires a string, collapses interior
whitespace to keep the label single-line, and caps it at 200 characters.
The name is display-only — it is used for the subscription list and log lines,
never for download paths — so renaming cannot move where files land.
Addresses a full-project review. Backend correctness and availability:
- ytdl: cancel() only SIGKILLs the child's process group when the child
actually became its own group leader, so a race (or failed setpgrp)
can no longer kill the whole server; kill the group on cancel and on
shutdown to avoid orphaned ffmpeg children
- ytdl: dedicated ThreadPoolExecutor for download supervision so active
downloads can't starve extract_info / live probes on the default pool
- ytdl/main/subscriptions: route fire-and-forget tasks through a
bg_tasks helper that keeps a strong ref and logs failures
- subscriptions: run flat-playlist extraction in an executor and check
feeds with bounded concurrency so one slow feed can't block the loop;
set last_checked on failure so broken feeds aren't retried every 60s
- main: validate ids on /start & /delete and numeric env vars at startup;
return 400 (not 500) on bad subscriptions/update input; serve /history
from memory; move get_custom_dirs off the event loop; restrict t=
stripping to YouTube hosts; drop double percent-decode in state guard
- dl_formats/ytdl: enforce requested caption format via
FFmpegSubtitlesConvertor and strip VTT header metadata only in the
pre-cue region so real dialogue is preserved
- ytdl: throttle progress events, dedup adds against pending, clear
filename/size on error and reject out-of-dir trashcan deletes, pin
fork start-method on Linux only
Frontend:
- retry deletes the done record only after a successful re-add
- surface HTTP errors for delete/start and reset the deleting flag
- ignore late 'updated' events for rows no longer in the queue
- track table rows by map key; FileSizePipe uses base-1024
Also: HTTPS-aware Docker healthcheck, dead-code removal, and shared
helpers for path-containment and yt-dlp option merging. Adds/updates
unit tests throughout (250 backend tests passing).

iOS doesn't have hover, so the tooltip only ever showed on desktop —
where the share-arrow glyph is universally recognised anyway. Aria-
label stays for screen readers.
Adds a share button to the completed-list action row that hands the
downloaded file off to the platform share sheet via navigator.share().
On iOS Safari/Chrome this surfaces the native Save-to-Photos / Save-to-
Files / AirDrop options for videos and images, and Files / 3rd-party
app targets for audio. On platforms without Web Share support (Desktop
Firefox/Chrome/Safari) the button hides itself; the existing download
link remains the universal fallback.
Implementation notes:
- canShareDownloads() requires both navigator.share AND navigator.canShare
(Desktop Safari has the former without the latter; we always intend
to share a file, not a URL)
- shareDownload() fetches the file via the existing buildDownloadLink()
helper, wraps it in a File, then runs canShare() before share() so we
can bail out cleanly on platforms that reject the MIME type
- AbortError (user dismisses sheet) is silenced; other errors logged
- Tooltip on the button explains the iOS behaviour briefly
Refs alexta69/metube#582 — addresses the 'add to Photos.app' request
without depending on the iOS Shortcut, which has had reliability issues
(cf #763).
Allow users to prefer a specific video codec (H.264, H.265, AV1, VP9)
when adding downloads. The selector filters available formats via
yt-dlp format strings, falling back to best available if the preferred
codec is not found. The completed downloads table now shows Quality
and Codec columns.
Display the completion time for each download in the done list.
The backend already stores a nanosecond timestamp on DownloadInfo; this wires it up to the frontend using Angular's DatePipe.
