Automatic yt-dlp updates

Problem

I've found that old yt-dlp versions do not work in a month after they're released as YouTube finds a way to exclude that version from downloading. It's easy enough to fix:

fetch the most recent release
or delete the old version and allow the program to download the dependency automatically

but it is tedious/less technically-capable users may find it difficult.

Solution

An enhancement that solves this problem is an optional update-check/download feature that compares the hashes of the latest release and the locally stored executable, and fetches the latest release if they do not match. This reduces the knowledge required to update the dependency. I can make a pr for my fork branch if you'd like.

[Suggestion] Set default settings for custom args and filename

It'd be nice if custom args and filename doesn't get reset for every download. Would be very useful if for downloading bunch of videos with the same quality and same format and doesn't seem to be difficult to implement. I can make a PR if you're interested in adding this feature

Virus Total Detection

Hey guys I'm sure its not anything serious but I got 3 detections on virus total, specifically from the yt-dlp-gui.exe file. Can anyone explain what this might be?

GUI uses VP9 instead of AVC now

The title pretty much says it all but for more details you can see the following conversation.

Does not parse out videos in a playlist?

When I add a URL for a YouTube Playlist, it does not parse out the URL into multiple videos. Instead it only attempts to download the first item in a playlist before hitting a error.

In contrast, This Program parses out individual videos in the queue after dropping in a playlist link and then lets you download them all as individual videos.

This would be the preferable behavior for your own app.

Get Python error when try to run Windows portable yt-dlp-gui.exe

Here what I get from the very start of the program:

Issues launching executable

Machine: Mac Catalina 10.15.7
python --version returns 3.10.1

Running chmod +x ./dist/yt-dlp-gui on mac doesn't do anything. Is there another step in this installation process?

Video resolution and ffmpeg nvenc preset

How to choose certain resolution? Is it possible to choose ffmpeg nvenc preset?

Cannot select path on Ubuntu 22.04

Ubuntu 22.04.2, 64-bit, using the portable Linux release from 25.05.2023.

Clicking the Path selector button (3 dots) instantly closes the program.

Required fields: Link, Path & Format.

When trying to add the URL with the + button, I get an error complaining about the required Arguments are missing, even though I have Link, Path and Format all filled out.

Proxy on portable

How do I get it to use a proxy on the portable version?

The one with the msi installer has this option but i don't see it on the portable version.

[REQUEST] optional arguments like "--compat-options no-certifi)" in GUI

I am using your Tool since a while an it would be a big thing if i could add custom arguments for downloading like "--compat-options no-certifi"

Add support for automatic subfolder creation.

It would be great if the GUI could automatically create per-channel and per-video directories, to simplify archival. I'm not sure if this functionality is already in in the yt-dlp CLI, or needs to be built on top.

QProgressbar in the qtreewidget

Can you add Progressbar in the treewidget to make it look better? If you have time please update . Thanks if you update

Running executable fails on Ubuntu 20.04

I get

> ./Downloads/yt-dlp-gui/yt-dlp-gui
[16186] Error loading Python lib '/home/fhchl/Downloads/yt-dlp-gui/libpython3.10.so.1.0': dlopen: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.35' not found (required by /home/fhchl/Downloads/yt-dlp-gui/libpython3.10.so.1.0)

Suggestion: Download a clip?

To make grabbing clips easier, could you add a feature that grabs a video at a specific timestamp like clipconverter used to do? Or perhaps make it compatible with Youtube's built-in clipping feature?

FFMPEG file download url is broken

Can't download ffmpeg when fetching dependency because the url is broken!

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/imageio/imageio-binaries/raw/master/ffmpeg/ffmpeg-win64-v4.1.exe

Fetching dependency stuck at 100%

Downloaded from https://github.com/dsymbol/yt-dlp-gui/releases/download/14.05.2023/yt-dlp-gui-win64.zip and yt-dlp-gui.exe keep stuck at 100%.

If I close:

[Feature Request] Be Able To Rename The Output File During Conversion

With yt-dlp using the command line, you can use the -o argument to specify the output file name.
Example: yt-dlp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_uFzLPYDd8 -o "Jazz Example.mp3" and the output file would be named "Jazz Example.mp3". I know for some sites that I download from, the file name is random. It would be cool if I could specify the file name that I want and have it be done during the downloading and conversion process.
