Frequently Asked Questions
How is ROSI-LTS different from main ROSI?
ROSI-LTS stays on the v3.x line and receives yt-dlp updates and bug fixes. It is not moving to v4. Main ROSI is the current v5.x line with newer workflows and bundled FFmpeg. See About the LTS Version for the choice that fits your setup.
Do I need to install FFmpeg for LTS?
Yes. ROSI-LTS does not bundle FFmpeg. Install FFmpeg, put it on your system PATH, or set its executable path in the app. Follow Installing FFmpeg.
Can I install LTS alongside main ROSI?
Yes. The two branches use separate application locations and data, so they can be installed side by side. Keep their download folders clear when comparing behavior.
Is there a Microsoft Store LTS build?
No. ROSI-LTS is distributed through GitHub Releases. The Microsoft Store listing is for main ROSI.
Where do I download ROSI-LTS?
Use the latest ROSI-LTS release on GitHub and choose the asset for your platform.
What is the privacy policy?
