This is a GUI version of youtube-dl found here:https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/
This software is the result of my realization that most people (including me) are too stupid or just lazy to use the command-line tool 'youtube-dl'. So I decided to build a GUI for it with only the most bare-bone features (youtube-dl has a ton of features which are not available in my version - maybe they will soon be available :p).
You can download videos from other video sharing sites as well. A huge set of sites are supported. To see the full list of supported sites go here. The advanced options like quality etc. are only applicable to youtube at the moment; soon they will apply to other sites as well.
The ability to queue videos and the ability to download more than one video at a time will be coming soon. In the mean time, you can add all the videos that you want to a youtube playlist and then download them. Another feature that I wish to add in the future releases is the ability to schedule downloads(single videos and queues). Ability to download mp3 audio is also will be implemented soon.
To download the executable, go to downloads section under releases : https://github.com/rnand/Youtuble-downloader/releases
You need dot net framework 4 to run the application.
You also need ffmpeg for DASH videos. Get it here: https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html
