📥 Installation

Install Dependencies

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/itsneufox/yt_audio_download.git
   cd yt_audio_download

2. Install Python dependencies:

   Create a requirements.txt file in your project directory with the following content:

   yt-dlp
   

   Install the dependencies using pip:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Bundling ffmpeg and ffprobe

1. Download ffmpeg and ffprobe:

   • Download the executables from FFmpeg Official Site and extract them.

2. Include ffmpeg and ffprobe in your project:

   • Create a directory in your project folder named ffmpeg/ and place ffmpeg.exe and ffprobe.exe inside it.

   Example folder structure:

   yt_audio_download/
   ├── ffmpeg/
   │   ├── ffmpeg.exe
   │   └── ffprobe.exe
   ├── ico/
   │   └── icon.ico
   ├── app.py
   ├── requirements.txt
   └── README.md
   

3. Build the application using PyInstaller:

   To build the application with or without a terminal window, use the following commands:

   • With Terminal Window:

     pyinstaller --clean --onefile --add-data "ico/icon.ico;ico" --add-data "ico/icon.png;ico" --add-data "ffmpeg/ffmpeg.exe;ffmpeg" --add-data "ffmpeg/ffprobe.exe;ffmpeg" --icon="ico/icon.ico" app.py

   • Without Terminal Window:

     pyinstaller --clean --onefile --windowed --add-data "ico/icon.ico;ico" --add-data "ico/icon.png;ico" --add-data "ffmpeg/ffmpeg.exe;ffmpeg" --add-data "ffmpeg/ffprobe.exe;ffmpeg" --icon="ico/icon.ico" app.py

   This command ensures that ffmpeg and ffprobe are included in the executable and sets the application icon. The --windowed option is used to build a GUI-only application without a terminal window.

🎬 Usage

1. Run the application:

   • If you didn't generate an executable run:

     python app.py

   • If you generated an executable just run the generated executable.

2. Enter the YouTube video link and select the destination folder where you want to save the audio file.

3. Click in any file format to start the download and conversion process.

4. Monitor the progress using the progress bar and status label.

5. Toggle between light and dark modes using the mode button.

6. Switch languages using the language buttons.
