v1.1.1 “🔍 Load Channel” Button & Full Channel Video Count Indexing
Released: 2026-10-21
  • Added “🔍 Load Channel” Button (--mode scan_only): Added a dedicated button right next to the Channel URL input (and Enter-key trigger) to scan and display the channel’s complete video count before starting transcript extraction.
  • Fixed 25-Video Cap in Test First 10 Mode: Removed the playlistend=25 limit during test10 runs so channels with 1,000+ videos (e.g., @JuicyRoyale with 1,002 videos) always display their full video count in Total Videos while extracting the first 10 pending videos.
Package: Shirube-YouTube-Transcript-Tool-v1.1.1-win64.zip • SHA-256: 57f04ac83d204d80e82d0d702191d6f85af2e3dbad9ab444ed9d27db0777870e
v1.1.0 Global English UI, Channel-Wide Batch Translation & Sanitized Diagnostics
Released: 2026-10-21
  • Added Channel-Wide Batch Translation (--translate-to): Translate all channel transcripts into English (en), Japanese (ja), Spanish (es), French (fr), German (de), Portuguese (pt), Korean (ko), or Simplified Chinese (zh-Hans) during extraction.
  • Added Retroactive Database Translation (--mode translate_existing / 🌐 Translate Cached): Batch-translate an already extracted channel_cache.db into a new target language without re-crawling YouTube.
  • Bilingual English / Japanese UI Switch: English is now the default interface language for global users, with an instant header toggle (English | 日本語).
  • Separated User Configuration (core/config.py): User settings are now stored in %APPDATA%\ShirubeYTTranscript\config.json so application updates never overwrite user preferences or output data.
  • Sanitized Diagnostic Report Exporter (core/diagnostics.py): Added one-click 🩺 Save Diagnostic Log button and --export-diagnostics CLI flag with automatic redaction of OS usernames, API keys, cookies, and proxy credentials.
  • Fast test10 Playlist Indexing: Added playlistend optimization when running test10 or --limit so channels with 4,000+ videos begin extracting within 2 seconds.
Package: Shirube-YouTube-Transcript-Tool-v1.1.1-win64.zip • SHA-256: 57f04ac83d204d80e82d0d702191d6f85af2e3dbad9ab444ed9d27db0777870e
