Hi, thanks for the detailed issue. Yes there are a number of issues with `django-background-tasks` which cause knock-on issues. There is a (long running) process to replace `django-background-tasks` with `celery`,...

Ah, fair enough. Unfortunately it's unlikely I'm going to be able to support a not updated upstream package to resolve this bug directly. I'd not heard of this particular issue...

Thanks for the command for anyone else who stumbles over these sorts of issues. Most helpful!

Thanks for the suggestion. I can see a use case for this so I'll plop it into the wishlist for now.

This might actually be `yt-dlp` doing thumbnails "properly" since the switch-over about a week ago. Could you try `yt-dlp` with `--embed-metadata` from the command line and see if you still...

`youtube-dl` doesn't support embedding thumbnails at all into MKV containers so what this probably is is "not working" vs "working" after the switch to `yt-dlp`. Either way, this very much...

It's not a bug. Embedding thumbnails was broken in `youtube-dl` and it's actually working in `yt-dlp`. Do you mean thumbnails in the actual TubeSync interface? Or for the media in...

Ah right. TubeSync just fetches whatever YouTube reports as the thumbnail. What's a URL to a video that has black bars on the thumbnail for you?

That video returns thumbnails with black bars from YouTube, like https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tNXDceetsiw/sddefault.jpg (height of 480px) as the largest thumbnail. TubeSync fetches the video metadata using `yt-dlp` then downloads the thumbnail itself,...

Not all the images contain black bars or appear to be squashed to the same degree. I'm unlikely to code fuzzy logic that attempts to detect black bars and image...
