# Hybrid Download Model + Auto-Defocus URL Input
|
|
|
|
## Task Description
|
|
Two user-requested improvements:
|
|
1. **Hybrid download model**: Download a low-resolution (≤360p H.264+AAC) version for immediate preview/scrubbing/waveform/thumbnail generation, while downloading the best available quality in the background for export. Clips are cut from the best-quality file.
|
|
2. **Auto-defocus URL input**: After pasting a URL and triggering submit, blur the input field so keyboard shortcuts (I, O, etc.) don't accidentally modify the URL.
|
|
|
|
## Changes Made
|
|
|
|
### Session State Refactor (`src/lib/stores/videoSession.svelte.ts`)
|
|
- Replaced single `localFilePath`/`downloadProgress`/`downloadStatus` with dual-track state:
|
|
- `previewFilePath`/`previewProgress`/`previewStatus` — for the 360p preview
|
|
- `exportFilePath`/`exportProgress`/`exportStatus` — for the best-quality export
|
|
- Preview format: `bv*[vcodec^=avc1][height<=360]+ba[acodec^=mp4a]/b[ext=mp4][height<=360]/worst[ext=mp4]/worst`
|
|
- Export format: `bv*+ba/b` (best available, any codec since ffmpeg handles export)
|
|
- `beginDownload()` now:
|
|
1. Checks cache for preview → downloads if needed → triggers post-processing (waveform, thumbnails, keyframes)
|
|
2. Checks cache for export → downloads in background (fire-and-forget)
|
|
- Files stored in separate subdirectories: `video-clipper/preview/` and `video-clipper/export/`
|
|
|
|
### Rust Backend (`src-tauri/src/commands/video.rs`)
|
|
- `start_download` now accepts `format_spec` and `variant` parameters
|
|
- `check_cached_download` now accepts a `variant` parameter to check the correct subdirectory
|
|
- Helper `variant_dir()` builds `$TEMP/video-clipper/{variant}/` paths
|
|
- Diagnostic logging includes variant name for easier debugging
|
|
|
|
### Download Manager (`src-tauri/src/services/download_manager.rs`)
|
|
- `start_download` now accepts `format_spec: &str` parameter instead of hardcoding format selection
|
|
- Format string passed through from the frontend call
|
|
|
|
### Frontend Bindings (`src/lib/bindings/video.ts`)
|
|
- `startDownload` now takes `formatSpec` and `variant` parameters
|
|
- `checkCachedDownload` now takes a `variant` parameter
|
|
|
|
### VideoPlayer (`src/lib/components/VideoPlayer.svelte`)
|
|
- Uses `previewFilePath`/`previewStatus` instead of old single-track fields
|
|
- Download progress shows "Downloading preview…" label
|
|
|
|
### ExportDialog (`src/lib/components/ExportDialog.svelte`)
|
|
- Uses `exportFilePath`/`exportStatus`/`exportProgress` for export readiness
|
|
- Shows "Downloading best quality (X%)…" while export download is in progress
|
|
|
|
### StatusBar (`src/lib/components/StatusBar.svelte`)
|
|
- Shows dual progress: preview download → export download → ready to export
|
|
- Contextual status messages for each download phase
|
|
|
|
### UrlInput (`src/lib/components/UrlInput.svelte`)
|
|
- Added `bind:this={inputEl}` reference to input element
|
|
- `blurInput()` called at the start of `handleSubmit()` — defocuses immediately on paste/enter
|
|
- Keyboard shortcuts (I, O, etc.) now work immediately after submitting a URL
|
|
|
|
## Lessons Learned
|
|
- Storing preview and export files in separate subdirectories (`preview/`, `export/`) keeps cache management clean and avoids filename collisions between quality variants.
|
|
- Fire-and-forget pattern for background export download (`.catch()` at call site) keeps the preview flow responsive without blocking on the best-quality download.
|
|
- The `variant` parameter threading from frontend → Rust command → download manager keeps the API clean and extensible for future quality tiers.
|
|
|
|
## Follow-Up Items
|
|
- Consider showing export download progress in the timeline/player area as a subtle indicator
|
|
- The export format `bv*+ba/b` may download VP9/WebM — this is fine for ffmpeg export but won't play in WKWebView. The preview file handles playback.
|
|
- Old flat `video-clipper/` cache was cleared; users with existing caches in the old location won't get cache hits (harmless — just re-downloads)
