Hiya. Been a while.

Because yt-dlp GUI is installed in Program Files by default, yt-dlp needs admin perms to update itself. Something I haven't considered while writing this program, or the installer script for that matter, until just the other day.

This update should finally allow you to actually use the integrated yt-dlp updater. The setup also includes updated binaries for yt-dlp, FFmpeg and .NET Desktop 8.

1.2.0 - Remembering settings and downloading to temporary folder.

Important

The integrated updater for yt-dlp (the actual downloader) doesn't work in this version, as the program doesn't have the necessary permissions in the default installation directory.
Until I can fix that, possibly by rewriting the installer to put everything in AppData by default instead, you need to manually update yt-dlp by downloading the latest Windows release and replacing the existing file in C:\Program Files\pprmint\yt-dlp GUI\utils.

1.1.0 - URL list and .NET installer.

Uninstall the previous version before installing this one.

New stuff.

  • The Source URL got fat and grew a small s.
  • You can now enter multiple URLs as a list for downloading.
  • The installer now contains the .NET 8.0 setup, which will be installed automagically if it's not already.

Fixed stuff.

  • Made button alignment a bit more consistent (at least as far as Windows 11 is concerned).
  • Fixed an issue where audio wouldn't be downloaded and converted properly because the FFmpeg path was interpreted as another download URL.
  • Also hopefully fixed video downloading for good.

Removed stuff.

  • WebM.
  • Fuck WebM.

First release!

Version 1.I-hope-I-won't-have-to-immediately-fix-something-because-it's-not-working-properly-for-someone-again.0.

So far it seems to be working fine for me in my Windows 10 and 11 VMs.
If anything looks off to you, figuratively because something's broken, or literally because your eyes started to bleed at the sight of my program, create an issue or email me.
