AmiTube Server Update

Google again changed the access to YouTube for downloading files. It resulted in empty downloads in AmiTube or a error 500 or 404. One needs a javascript engine now to download from youtube. But even with the javascript (deno) installed, I noticed that most of the formats don’t work anymore only the audio only and video only work nicely. The only video+audio format still working is 360p and yt-dlp seems wrongly often use formats which it can’t download.

I tried newer versions of yt-dlp but they would not work on my old docker server, just because its a very old debian installation with python3.8 but for the later yt-dlp you need at least 3.10. The debian repository does not provide that. I had to redo the whole docker server in principle, because there where more changes needed, the agaconv program changed a bit, no need for the script starter anymore and a parameter for std-cdxl seems to be gone.

I often got complains about the MPEG conversation settings, so I changed it to a better Amiga fitting MPEG which automatically sets the width the 320 px and the height accordingly, therefore resized proportionally.

The AmiTube Client program needs no change its only the server needs to be updated. If you use your own server don’t forget to pull the update.
