a GUI for yt-dlp written in Rust

• Installation
  • NixOS (Flake)
  • Fedora
  • Ubuntu
  • other distributions
  • Windows
• Build from source
• Configuration
• Contribution

you can use the flake.nix in the repo

in your flake.nix:

{
  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixpkgs-unstable";

    ytdlp-gui = {
      url = "github:bksalman/ytdlp-gui";
    };
  };

    outputs = { nixpkgs, ytdlp-gui, ...}:
    let
      system = "x86_64-linux";

      pkgs = import nixpkgs {
        inherit system;
        overlays = [
          ytdlp-gui.overlay
        ];
      };
    in
    {
      ...snip

then you can add it as a normal package, either to your home-manager or nixosConfiguration

download the rpm package from the releases page then install it with sudo dnf localinstall <rpm_package_name>

download the deb package from the releases page then install it with sudo apt install ./<deb_package_name>

Available in the AUR ytdlp-gui

either

      a- from your distribution repo

      b- or download the binary, then move it to your bin directory, and make it an executable by running chmod +x <bin_file>

to build from source you need to have cargo and rustc, you can install them through rustup (rust toolchain manager), or from your distribution repos, whatever you like

after that run the following commands:

# clone the repository to "ytdlp-gui" folder
git clone https://github.com/BKSalman/ytdlp-gui
# enter the folder
cd ytdlp-gui
# you can either build the project using this
cargo build
# or build it in release mode for better performance
cargo build -r

then the binary will be either in <project-root>/target/debug/ytdlp-gui or <project-root>/target/release/ytdlp-gui

and you can either run it directly:

# from project root
./target/release/ytdlp-gui

or using cargo:

cargo r
# or for release mode
cargo r -r

Since v3.0.0 the application has a settings tab which will contain the settings that the user will most likely want to configure

The settings are located in <config_dir>/ytdlp-gui/config.toml

All contribution forms are welcomed, whether it's Pull requests, Issues (bug reports/enhancement requests)

However, I might not be quick to reply to them, or implement the requested stuff

But I will do my best 👍
