Download the pre-built binary or build it from source.\n2. Download [yt-dlp](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp) or [youtube-dl](https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl).\n3. It's optional but highly recommended to also download [FFmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/download.html). Otherwise you won't be able to merge separate video and audio tracks.\n4. The framework-dependent binary requires an installed [.NET Runtime](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/) to run. Alternatively, download the self-contained binary that bundles the runtime.\n5. Run `youtube-dl-wpf.exe`. Go to __Settings__. Set the path to youtube-dl/yt-dlp and FFmpeg.\n6. Go back to the home tab. Paste a video URL and start downloading! 🚀\n\n## FAQ\n\n1.  Q: The __Download__ button is grayed out and I can't click it!\n\n    A: `youtube-dl-wpf` is a simple GUI wrapper. It doesn't bundle any downloader with it. You have to download youtube-dl or yt-dlp for it to work. FFmpeg is required by youtube-dl and yt-dlp when merging separate video and audio tracks, which is the case for most formats on YouTube.\n\n2.  Q: How can I use a proxy to download?\n\n    A: Leave the proxy field empty to use system proxy settings. Otherwise the format is similar to how `curl` accepts proxy strings (e.g. `socks5://localhost:1080/`, `http://localhost:8080/`). Currently the upstream doesn't accept `socks5h` protocol and treat `socks5` as `socks5h` by always resolving the hostname using the proxy. This is tracked in [this issue](https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/22618).\n\n3.  Q: Downloading the whole playlist doesn't work!\n\n    A: It's an upstream bug, just like many other issues you might discover. There's nothing I can do. Just report the bug to yt-dlp or youtube-dl, whichever you use.\n\n4.  Q: `youtube-dl` and `yt-dlp` behave differently!\n\n    A: In some cases, yes, and `youtube-dl-wpf` tries to align their behavior by sending different options and arguments for different backends. See the [backends documentation](Backends.md) for more information.\n\n## Known Issues\n\n- 🎉 No known issues!\n\n## To-Do\n\n- [ ] v2.0 - The Parallel Update: download management and download queue for parallel downloads.\n\n## Build\n\nPrerequisites: .NET 9 SDK\n\nNote for packagers: The application by default uses executable directory as config directory. To use user's config directory, define the constant `PACKAGED` when building.\n\n###  Build with Release configuration\n\n```bash\ndotnet build -c Release\n```\n\n### Publish as framework-dependent\n\n```bash\ndotnet publish YoutubeDl.Wpf -c Release\n```\n\n### Publish as self-contained for Windows x64\n\n```bash\ndotnet publish YoutubeDl.Wpf -c Release -r win-x64 --self-contained\n```\n\n### Publish as self-contained for packaging on Windows x64\n\n```bash\ndotnet publish YoutubeDl.Wpf -c Release -p:DefineConstants=PACKAGED -r win-x64 --self-contained\n```\n\n## License\n\n- This project is licensed under [GPLv3](LICENSE).\n- The icons are from [Material Design Icons](https://materialdesignicons.com/) and are licensed under the [Pictogrammers Free License](https://dev.materialdesignicons.com/license).\n- [`youtube-dl`](https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl) and [`yt-dlp`](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp) are licensed under [The Unlicense](https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/blob/master/LICENSE).\n- [Material Design Themes](https://github.com/MaterialDesignInXAML/MaterialDesignInXamlToolkit) is licensed under [MIT](https://github.com/MaterialDesignInXAML/MaterialDesignInXamlToolkit/blob/master/LICENSE).\n- [Roboto Mono](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto+Mono) is licensed under the [Apache License, Version 2.0](https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0).\n- [ReactiveUI](https://github.com/reactiveui/ReactiveUI) and its dependencies are licensed under [MIT](https://github.com/reactiveui/ReactiveUI/blob/main/LICENSE).\n\n© 2025 database64128\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdatabase64128%2Fyoutube-dl-wpf","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdatabase64128%2Fyoutube-dl-wpf","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdatabase64128%2Fyoutube-dl-wpf/lists"}
