Optimization Opportunity in isApplicable() Method

Created on 9 June 2025, about 2 months ago

Problem/Motivation

The `isApplicable()` method in the `LiteYoutubeFormatter` class loads the entire `MediaType` entity solely to check the source. This approach may be inefficient and could be optimized to improve performance.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Analyze the `isApplicable()` method in the `LiteYoutubeFormatter` class.
  2. Observe that the `MediaType::load()` method is used to fetch the full `MediaType` entity.
  3. Note that only the source property of the `MediaType` is used.

Proposed resolution

  • Refactor the `isApplicable()` method to avoid loading the full `MediaType` entity.
  • Fetch only the required data or use a more lightweight approach to determine the media type's source.

Remaining tasks

  • Investigate alternate ways to retrieve the media source without loading the full entity. Refactor the `isApplicable()` method.
  • Test the refactored code to ensure the behavior remains consistent.
