This is a tiny Qt/C++ GUI frontend for the youtube-dl tool. youtube-dl downloads videos from youtube.com and many other video hosting platforms. Windows & Linux supported.
Windows 10
Latest Windows x64 installer can be found under releases.
If you want to build this app yourself on Windows, you'll need a couple of things:
Open the .pro file in QtCreator and run the build process. This doesn't include
the youtube_dl Python package. Execute python setup_cxfreeze.py build to
freeze youtube_dl into an executable + required files. Copy the resulting
build/platform-freeze/ folder into build/release/youtube_dl_frozen/. This
is where __main__.exe needs to end up for the app to find it.
Uses qmake (and make). Simply run make release from the project's top-level directory.
Requires Qt5. Expects a python installation on the system. youtube-dl package
is bundled with the repository.
