### v1.5.1 — Eagle review compliance
**Integration with Eagle's built-in FFmpeg** - Added `"dependencies": ["ffmpeg"]` to manifest.json — Eagle now auto-prompts users to install the FFmpeg Dependency Plugin on
first run
- yt-dlp resolves FFmpeg via `eagle.extraModule.ffmpeg.getPaths()` and receives the path through `--ffmpeg-location`
- Banner button "Install FFmpeg plugin" opens Eagle's managed installer (`eagle.extraModule.ffmpeg.install()`) instead of
downloading a standalone binary
**Removed**
- Bundled FFmpeg download flow (~130 MB zip from yt-dlp/FFmpeg-Builds and evermeet.cx)
- `getLocalFfmpegPath`, `checkSystemFfmpeg`, `downloadFfmpeg`, `findFileRecursive` from `binManager.js`
- PowerShell/unzip extraction logic and `.eagle-videofetch/bin/ffmpeg*` binaries
**Requirements**
- Eagle 4.0 beta 7 or later (required for `extraModule.ffmpeg`)
**Unchanged**
- yt-dlp auto-install/update flow
- All provider logic, UI animations, download queue, keyboard shortcuts
Changelog v1.3.0:
- Auto-detect platform from URL with animated Scan button - Video preview (thumbnail, title, channel, duration, views) for all providers - Dynamic YouTube quality selection from actual available formats - MP4 / MP3 format toggle for all providers
- Stop button to cancel active downloads
- One-click auto-install for yt-dlp and ffmpeg
- Per-provider branded gradient themes
- Thumbnail proxy for Instagram/TikTok (bypasses CDN restrictions)
- Fixed progress bar stuck on "Preparing"
- Fixed MP3 downloads not importing to Eagle
- Refactored providers to eliminate code duplication
- Cleaned up dead code, hardcoded strings, and var declarations
