• updated yt-dlp to 2025.11.12. As a side note: also set up Vista-compatible nightly builds and enabled release immutability for both stable and nightly channel repositories
• formats list (in Advanced Mode) now also shows audio language if Youtube video contains multiple audio languages and video file contains both video+audio (i.e. not video-only stream). Real world scenario - HLS video+audio streams with different languages - now they can be distinguished in the formats list
• improved audio language selection logic. Previously it could select non-original language in case the video contained also other languages
• improved yt-dlp error reporting. Now program shows more specific error in more cases (instead of just "yt-dlp finished with error code -1")
• fixed error starting yt-dlp in some non-up-to-date environments. In the log this issue mentioned "Failed to load Python DLL" error
