# YouTube Downloader
This is a simple Python application that allows you to download YouTube videos or audio in MP3 format. The application provides a graphical user interface (GUI) built with `tkinter`, making it easy to use.
## Features
- Download YouTube videos in the best available quality.
- Download YouTube audio as MP3 files.
- Choose between video and audio download options.
- List downloaded files in a scrollable list.
- Open the download folder by double-clicking on the listed file.
- Progress bar and status updates during the download process.
## Requirements
- Python 3.x
- `yt-dlp` library
- `tkinter` (included with Python)
## Installation
1. **Clone the repository:**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/your-username/YT-DOW.git
```
2. **Navigate to the project directory:**
```bash
cd YT-DOW
```
3. **Install the required Python packages:**
```bash
pip install yt-dlp
```
## Usage
1. **Run the application:**
```bash
python main.py
```
2. **Enter the YouTube video URL** in the text field.
3. **Choose the download type** (Video or Audio) by selecting the appropriate option.
4. **Click the "Download" button** to start the download process.
5. The downloaded files will be saved in the `downloads` folder in the project directory.
6. **View downloaded files** in the listbox. You can double-click on a file to open the folder where it is saved.
## Notes
- This application uses `yt-dlp` for downloading YouTube content.
- MP3 conversion is handled by `ffmpeg`, which needs to be installed on your system for audio downloads to work correctly.
## Converting to .exe
To convert this Python application to a standalone `.exe` file for Windows, you can use `PyInstaller`.
### Steps:
1. **Install PyInstaller:**
```bash
pip install pyinstaller
```
2. **Navigate to the project directory and run the following command:**
```bash
pyinstaller --onefile --windowed main.py
```
- `--onefile`: Packages everything into a single `.exe` file.
- `--windowed`: Hides the command line console, showing only the GUI.
3. The generated `.exe` file will be located in the `dist` folder.
4. You can now use this `.exe` file on other Windows computers.
