README.md

media-downloader

a simple graphical frontend for the youtube-dl media downloader. youtube-dl must be installed and in your PATH.

really just an experiment in creating my first desktop program, so don't expect too much.

uses gtk-rs. released under the MIT license.

features

download from any media source that youtube-dl supports (e.g. soundcloud, mixcloud, etc.)

extract audio and convert to mp3

known problems

no validation for URL bar

no user feedback

will hang after clicking "go!" due to youtube-dl being executed in the same thread. there is no user feedback so this basically looks like the program crashing.

TODO: investigate using https://crates.io/crates/gtk-future-executor

would it be possible to add progress bars for in-progress downloads somehow?

notifications for when downloads finish?
