# youtube-dl-qt
[](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html)
Simple QT-frontend for [youtube-dl](https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/).
youtube-dl is able to download lots of videos from streaming sites, not only from YouTube.
See [supported sites](https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html).
## Installing
### GNU/Linux
Check out the [requirements](#requirements). You can choose to compile the binary yourself or
use the binary I compiled (found in Releases). Be sure to give the binary execution rights.
### Windows
There is an executable installer for Windows found in the releases called `setup_windows.exe`.
A portable version can be found in the 7zip archive `youtube-dl-qt-windows`.
## Requirements

Note that the youtube-dl version in the Ubuntu repositories is outdated and may
not support all the sites you expect. To install the latest version of youtube-dl
check out their [installation instructions](https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl#installation).
#### Arch Linux
Packages needed:
