> TypeType 1.3.0 brings new backup and content controls, makes SABR the only YouTube playback path on the web, and improves downloads and self-hosted updates.

## Playback

- Use SABR/MSE for all YouTube web playback, including watch pages, embeds and
autoplay. The old Classic toggle and transition prompt have been removed.
NicoNico and BiliBili playback remain unchanged.
[#168](https://github.com/TypeType-Video/TypeType/issues/168)
- Recover SABR sessions when YouTube authorization expires and stop stalled
preparation attempts instead of retrying indefinitely.
- Apply automatic SponsorBlock skips in audio-only mode.
[#178](https://github.com/TypeType-Video/TypeType/issues/178)
- Add a default playback speed from `0.25x` to `4x`, applied to regular videos
and Shorts.

subscriptions, history, playlists, watch later, favorites, playback
progress, search history, saved playlists, settings and content filters.
- Restore versioned TypeType JSON backups with an immediate confirmation
showing how many items were restored.

- Restore versioned TypeType JSON backups with an immediate confirmation showing how many items were restored.
- Add blocked title keywords to filter unwanted videos from recommendations.

## Subscriptions

- Keep subscription feeds updating when one subscribed channel is deleted,
private or temporarily unavailable.
[#180](https://github.com/TypeType-Video/TypeType/issues/180)
- Keep live videos ordered by their actual promotion time instead of
permanently placing every active live stream first.

## Downloads And Performance

- Rework SABR downloads around bounded multipart streams and concurrent range
workers.
- Reserve the required disk space before starting large downloads to prevent
active jobs from exhausting storage.
- Detect stalled streams while allowing long downloads to continue as long as
data is still arriving.

- Detect stalled streams while allowing long downloads to continue as long as data is still arriving.
- Reduce progress-update contention and reuse download buffers.
- Serve precompressed frontend assets through Nginx.

## Self-Hosting

- Bundle the default Nginx configuration directly in the Frontend image.
- Generate the default Garage configuration inside a managed Docker volume.
- Back up existing stack files and preserve custom Compose and Garage
configuration during updates.
- Validate the resolved Compose configuration, wait for service health and
provide a rollback directory when an update fails.
- Show the Frontend, Server, Token and Downloader versions, revisions and build
times directly in Settings.
- Expand the self-hosting documentation with resource requirements and new
French and Spanish prerequisites guides.
[#176](https://github.com/TypeType-Video/TypeType/issues/176)

Self-hosters should follow the official update procedure for this release
because the Compose stack and managed configuration have changed.

A big thx to @BuggyPasta for the detailed testing and for the ideas behind
backups, blocked keywords and default playback speed.

Thx to @Toastienergy for reporting the missing SponsorBlock behavior in
audio-only mode, and to @tam1m for the precise subscription-feed report.

Thx to @jerkiz and @coral-hungus for testing playback and SponsorBlock on real
iPhones.

Thx to @arcoast for the Nginx, Garage and update-flow suggestions, to
@filippobaroni for helping expose problems caused by stale self-hosted stack
files, and to @EdgarsJudovics for helping keep the script-free installation
path documented.
## Thx

Thx as well to everyone testing the beta, reporting playback and buffering
problems, or helping other self-hosters.
