You paste the video link like so: + +https://youtu.be/-WsmHIJ2QJY?si=-lVVj4Q4gIzSvxbF + +and it should effectively run yt-dlp -x --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 0 (the link you just posted) + +or some variation depending on how we make this thing. + +It should download songs to Downloads. By default yt-dlp downloads to ~. + +Later on we could do a settings menu like btop has, where we press escape to see a settings block where we can configure the download folder, yt-dlp flags, etc. We'll get around to that eventually. + +Most importantly, DLIt should allow us to queue up youtube links. Typically using yt-dlp from the terminal you have to download one video at a time- our program should let us add to an ongoing queue so that I can minimize the time it takes me to get all the links ready to be downloaded. + +The queue should appear in the TUI in a 0% to 100% [ ] sort-of download progress bar. + +once that's done we need to add this to my cgit + + +Features: + +Hmm, maybe a preset system. Like you can choose between "No Preset", ".mp3", "full video" + +the default being .mp3 + +if you change a setting it goes to No Preset + + |
