A YouTube video downloader and converter.

Made in Python and packaged with PyInstaller.

Usage

YT2Music is designed to be used as simply as possible.

Just double-click the file or run the command in your terminal:

The script will run you through prompts to download your video.

Prompts:

Prompt	Use
Enter a project name	The resulting file will have this name. Make sure that it is compatible with your filesystem.
Enter YouTube URL	The URL of a YouTube video that will be downloaded. Please don't use any link shorteners.
Verify: Press enter if you trying to use "Video Title"	Press enter if the name of the video is right. If not, quit the script by pressing ^C.
Do you want to download an Audio or a Video?	Press A or V and hit enter to download an audio or video respectively.
Where would you like to download this file?	The path of download. A little of the path should already be complete.

The video should then start downloading.

Some notes for contributors

This is only a 1 file project. It is main.py. The code is well-commented.

Please install these dependencies with pip:

• pytube
• moviepy
• pyinstaller (Optional)

Note about the pytube issue: Sometimes when running the script, you will get a RegEx error. This has been an issue with Pytube for a while and the best way that I have fixed it is to install Pytube via the GitHub link: pip install git+https://github.com/nficano/pytube.git

Building

You can build this script using the following command:

bash build.sh

The file will then be in the dist folder.

cd dist
