YayTD

Yet Another YouTube Downloader

What

YayTD is a simple GUI built on top of pytube with guizero and a bit of tkinter where necessary.

It lets you find all streams associated with a YouTube video (audio only, video only or both combined) and download them to your machine for your convenience.

Did we really need another one?

Probably not. But it seemed the perfect toy-project to learn about guizero, additionally, as an occasional user of the pytube cli I wondered how a handy GUI would have looked like.

How

Install

Head to the releases and download the zip for your OS (Linux, Mac, Windows).
Unzip and run the single-file executable.

Build

Or clone this repo and do:

python -m venv env
source env/bin/activate

to create a python virtual environment in which to pip install the required modules:

pip install -r requiremnts.txt

now you can either run YayTD with

python yaytd.py

or build a single-file executable for your platform:

Linux

pyinstaller yaytd_lin.spec

Windows

pyinstaller yaytd_win.spec

Mac

pyinstaller yaytd_mac.spec

which should appear shortly after in the dist folder.
