is the command below really that hard you need a gui?

 yt-dlp.exe -f bestvideo[height<=1080]+bestaudio [video or playlist URL]

On Linux you can also set an alias for that command so it just “ytdlp <url>” for me

-f “bestvideo[ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/best[ext=mp4]/best” --concurrent-fragments 12 --throttled-rate 100K -o “%(uploader)s/%(playlist_title|)s/%(playlist_index&{} - |)s%(title)s.%(ext)s” so it always saves it under channel_name/video or channel_name/playlist_folder

All that snark and you assume somehow a .exe will run on my system. Baby I run scripts and I am balls deep in servers. What are you a teenager? I like the gui and the terminal. I want both forever. This whole computer thing is a ends to means… I don’t give a flying fuck about this “modern world” and all its “innovation” or those in a cloud of gas. I am not in a box but I will smack a box to get it to do what I want to do. Hard no… need no… like I used to have a script activated via macros keyboard that would just automate it. I got other shit to do. I don’t want to sit there fucking around with the terminal unless I want to sit around fucking with the terminal. I hate snarky computer turds. Where is your value? I share you bitch. Many ways to skin a cat and thats fine with me. You also asume others wouldn’t benifit… you asume I don’t know shit. Get out of here with your noise.

This is amazing and stupid easy indeed. I already have to manually download yt-dlp periodically (Debian btw), might just switch to this instead.

I always forget the extensive options and syntax for yt-dlp and this is perfect for when I don’t quite care enough about some videos to download in the default highest quality or if I don’t care about the video part at all.
