This release has some new settings which are covered in the Settings Guide.

This update completely rewrites a large majority of the core code for the script to use the new Floatplane.com site and its API. I heavily suggest doing a fresh install, your old videos should still work fine with this version so you don't need to redownload them.

To use the script from now on you have to be using a Floatplane.com account! Dont worry LinusTechTips.com form users though, you can create a new Floatplane account and then link your form account.

Video category matching should be MUCH better now that I am using the api, while Floatplane.com does not sort the videos directly into say Techquickie and TechLinked, its much easier to do with access to the api.

A short summary of Changes:

  • Changed login and authentication to use the new Floatplane.com Site. Read above for more info!
  • Large rewrites to core code to  use the Floatplane.com API.
  • Added more posters.
  • Added support for new Floatplane.com creators without needing new updates.
  • Rewrote all the detection code for organisation. Should be much much better now.
  • Added more sexy colours.
  • Removed youtube support.

Install Guide

I heavily suggest doing a clean install for this version.

If your updating then just download the Update.zip extract it to your install folder and run it. It will automagically update all the needed files and move your settings over.
I suggest double checking that everything is correctly updated in the settings.json though it should move your old settings over properly.

For people who are doing a fresh install just follow the below guides:
