Youtube-DL-Gui v1.36.1

v1.36.1: Is a major bug fix that I over looked when it came to the new custom downloader window

Updates from v1.36

Program should no longer flag as virus by Windows defender or any on antivirus software for that matter, it also now fully only runs on Windows 7 - 11 x64
Program is now a fully single compressed .exe without the need for any off the extra files, it also starts just as quickly thanks to me custom compiling pyinstaller

• Creates a function with hardcoded scripts to where the needed binaries are that the program uses
• This function can be updated before building or the locations of the downloads can be changed via an ini file that is created via this script for the GUI
• Comes with an error message in the event that the downloadlinks.ini file could not be created
  NOTE: This ini file does not need to be created for the program to function. However, in the event one of of the binaries get's deleted randomly, for what ever reason, this will make the ini file with the needed information for the autodownloader to download located in the main script
• Program will now remember your default "Shell" option setting upon next boot
• Adjusted the code to use 'yt-dlp.exe' instead of 'youtube-dl.exe' as the support for the later seems to be lacking
• Program no longer exit's automatically when it's unable to find FFMPEG, as it can still function without it, it just can't do any post processing IE extract audio etc
• Fixed a bug in the code where right clicking the window would no longer allow you to select paste
• Adjusted the GUI size to make room for another frame
• Added the 'Input Frame,' this is just updates a label based on the title/input name of the link you added to the program
• The custom job window has been re-coded to allow for any other website, before it only worked with youtube, you can now freely type what ever the ID codes there is on the left, in order to download your video/audio into a .mkv file, this also gives you the ability to ONLY download the audio/video of your choice selectively
• I made some quality of life changes, the text box's and input label all change back to "default" when left clicking the window after processing your job, this sorta "resets" the program and gets it ready for another link
• Updated 7z CLI to latest BETA
• Added the checkbox for the close automatically window in the custom downloader options

Youtube-DL-Gui v1.35.1

Updates

Fix for .dll error on older Windows under 10

I had to revert to the older pyinstaller/python, for what ever reason the latest versions break support for Windows under 10

Youtube-DL-Gui v1.35

Updates

• Fixed a small bug with displaying update information when updating youtube-dl
• Program now makes root transparent when you update youtube-dl.exe, until it's done and then brings it back to full transparency
• Moved the "old" view formats button in the tools menu bar now, this works like the older button 'Show All Formats' worked
• I've set 'Best Video + Audio Single File' to be default now, so the program will automatically download the best video/audio file of any link you put in there (can still change it like before)
• I've added a new feature, you can now select custom options for your video/audio in the "Custom Download' window
• After pasting your link/adding it to the program like normal, you can select the new button, a window will pop up allowing the user to select which ever audio+video quality they want, pressing start will open the prompt to choose where to download and then it works as normal like before, it will download the video you selected, followed by the audio, then mux them together into an .mkv file

Youtube-DL-Gui BETA v1.34

Updates

• Program now makes directories to app folders if they are missing (they should never be missing), this prevents a bug with the auto-downloader if the folder is missing
• Fixed some bugs with the ffmpeg auto downloader
• Completely revamped the download window/block for both youtube-dl and ffmpeg
• Program now makes root (main window) transparent during download/stops user ability to click on it, this is set back to default when the entire download section is done
• Program now checks for .exe instead of the path to exe. This is more dependable to check to see if it's missing before triggering the autodownloader

Changes

• Program is updated to the latest version of python and built with the latest version of pyinstaller
• I have also sent the program in to Microsoft and they are removing it as a false positive from the windows defender

Youtube-DL-Gui v1.33

Updates

• Optimized the code
• 'Check for Updates' will now give you a message prompt when it's completed, stating if it's up to date or the new version it just downloaded during the update
• Added new code to check/download youtube-dl automatically if the program is missing it for some reason, this is equipped with a new window/progress bar to do the work
• Added new code to check/download ffmpeg from Gyan automatically if the program is missing it for some reason, this is equipped with a new window/progress bar to do the work, this is in a 7z format, I used 7zip CLI to extract just ffmpeg and place it where it needs to be
• Adjusted the GUI size to be a little smaller/a lot more organized
• Added a new Tab feature, this converted the audio/general/video into tabs
• Added a new check button 'Only Download Single File From Playlist', if this is checked the program will only download the video out of the playlist pasted instead of the entire playlist
• Added a new check button 'Skip Unavailable Videos', this will skip private/unavailable videos and continue to the rest of the playlist (Default is enabled)

Youtube-DL-Gui v1.2

Updates

• Added a new config.ini (this is generated on program first run, this is located in the Runtime/ folder)
• The path to FFMPEG/youtube-dl(.exe) is now written/read to the new config.ini
• Added new two new Options in the 'Options' menu
• I've added 'Set PATH to FFMPEG/Youtube-dl', you can set the path to each of these, and it will be written to the config.ini file

Youtube-DL-Gui v1.1

• Adjusted the code, the program will no longer use the switch '-f best' anymore. (Without this switch the program actually will automatically download the best quality and put it in the best container)
• I've optimized the code a little
• Added progress bars, fully functional
• Playlist progress bars (If you are downloading a playlist, the download window will extend, to show you the progress of the overall job via a counter and a progress bar)
• Added multi-threading, so it's able to spawn multiple progress windows
• Program now asks if you'd like to exit instead of just automatically exiting (Pressing yes during jobs will force quit all subprocesses (youtube-dl.exe/ffmpeg.exe)
• The downloader is now out of BETA and updated to version 1.1
• Separated the about window into a new file
• Added some frame row/column configurations
• Added a 'no_continue' function, in the GUI this is labeled Resume Download (This disables the default behaviour of auto resuming files that have already been downloaded, if you uncheck this button it will overwrite previously downloaded files)
• Added a 'no_part' function (This will download files directly into the output file type instead of using parts, default is leaving this unchecked)
• Added Youtube subtitle option (This only works if the subtitle is available with the video)

Youtube-DL-Gui BETA v1.3.1

• Corrected some code
  *This needed to be changed as some video sites won't allow 'bestvideo+bestaudio', simply using the swtich 'best' will always search and find the best audio+video from any link

• Program checks path for youtube-dl and ffmpeg
  *Early work, this will allow me to mesh this with FFMPEG Audio Encoder

Youtube-DL-Gui BETA v1.3

• More work on the text box
• This now properly runs on Windows 7 to Windows 10 (64-Bit) without any additional files
