Downloading your favorite music off of YouTube should be absurdly easy. Now it is! + +Paste a link at the prompt; downloads queue and run serially in the +background. Commands: :mp3, :video, :none switch the active preset. +Ctrl-D or :q to quit (lets an in-flight download finish; Ctrl-C aborts). + +Currently this only supports linux, but you could easily rig this to work on windows or whatever. + +Ensure you have yt-dlp installed. + +Add it to your favorite shell with alias dlit='python3 ~/Repositories/dlit/app.py', then type 'dlit' whenever you wanna download something. + + + +v1.9: a playlist whose fan-out wouldn't fit on screen no longer prints a +queued line per entry up front, it prints a one-line summary and each +entry's line appears once, when its download starts; a job whose line +scrolled off-screen gets a fresh line above the prompt on its next status +change instead of updating invisibly, so the active download is always on +screen. + +v1.8: link resolution runs off the main thread so the prompt never freezes +on a slow probe; tracked lines that scroll past the top of the screen are +untracked instead of corrupting the display; job bookkeeping is pruned +rather than growing forever; playlist truncation at PLAYLIST_LIMIT is +reported; quitting drains the queue but finishes the download in flight. |
