• ffmpeg is required for merging files. The application checks for ffmpeg and offers to install it via winget if it's not found.

Installation

Using an compiled Binary from Releases:

1. Download the zip file for your operating system from the Latest Release

2. Unpack it

Using the Python Code

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/truelockmc/video-downloader.git
   cd video-downloader-main

2. Install the required packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Run the main Python script:

python downloader.py

(or just run the Executable you got from releases)

Upon launching, the UI will allow you to input a video URL, choose a download folder, select a file format, and configure quality settings. The downloader will then extract metadata, display a preview, and manage the download process.

Additonally supported Sites:

• Videasy, a known 🏴‍☠️ video Provider Site. (You cannot directly input the player link, you need to get the .m3u8 Link) Here's how. This also works for similiar Websites.
