Fix yt-dlp Big Thumbnail Size
Files downloaded by yt-dlp can have a huge embedded thumbnail (usually a re-encoded webp). This re-embeds the best available thumbnail without converting it, so files get smaller (around 1MB to 128KB per image) and artworks load faster. The audio is untouched.
The files in the selected folder are replaced.
Compress Images
Compress artworks and cached images to save storage, you choose the compression percentage. Moderate values save a lot with little visible loss. The audio files are untouched. “Keep file dates” keeps the original dates on the compressed images.
Output goes to a new folder Namida Folder/Compressed. The selected folder is not changed, so copy the files back manually if you want to replace the originals.
Cache Limits
Maximum size for server, image, audio and video caches. Oldest and least important items get cleaned first.
| Cache | Android | Windows & Linux |
|---|---|---|
Server 🆕 v7.4.0 |
4 GB | 12 GB |
| Image | 256 MB | 2 GB |
| Audio | 4 GB | 12 GB |
| Video | 8 GB | 24 GB |
Each cached video has a priority: VIP, High, Normal, Low or Disable. Cleaning starts from the bottom and never touches VIP items. Change it from the video’s menu, see Caching & Offline Playback.
Server tracks you cached yourself are never deleted automatically either, but they still count towards the limit. 🎉 Offline Caching ↗
Clear Caches
Clear server, image, audio or video cache. Each tile shows the current size, and you pick what to delete before anything is removed.
| Cache | What you can pick |
|---|---|
Server 🆕 v7.4.0 |
The tracks you cached yourself (not selected by default), the other streamed files, and unfinished downloads. |
| Image | Each image folder: track artworks, video thumbnails, artist and album images, YouTube thumbnails and channel images. |
| Audio | Everything, or press Choose to pick single items, which can be sorted by size, oldest watch or total listens. |
| Video | Same as audio. |
When choosing audio or video items, you can also select everything of a priority at once 🆕 v7.4.0, unfinished downloads, or files already in your local library.
Clearing the image cache leaves your library without images. Only use it to rebuild the image cache.
