okay so bestie, welcome to the manual page for youtube-dl-gui — cross platform graphical user interface for youtube-dl, and yes that's literally the whole vibe. it's a manual page, bestie, section 1, so you already know it's a user command. pull up a chair 🌸

✨ NAME ✨

youtube-dl-gui — a cross platform graphical user interface for youtube-dl. that's it, that's the whole name, slay 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

youtube-dl-gui

that's the entire synopsis. no flags, no args, no little curly-brace placeholders. she's just her. iconic behaviour honestly ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so Youtube-dl-gui (yes she capitalizes her own name, main character energy 👑) is a graphical frontend of the popular youtube-dl command-line program. think of it like giving youtube-dl a whole face and a settings menu instead of making you type stuff into a terminal like it's 2009 💀

because she's a GUI, she does not take any command-line parameters. none. zero. don't @ her with flags at the terminal, that's not the moment 🙈

instead, you configure the program through the graphical settings dialog, or the configuration file. pick your fighter — clicky-clicky or edity-writey, both are valid 🫶

🎀 FILES 🎀

here's where she keeps her stuff, no cap:

  • $HOME/.config/youtube-dlg/settings.json — the configuration file. this is where your settings live 💜
  • $HOME/.config/youtube-dlg/log — the log file. receipts, basically 🍓

⭐ NOTES ⭐

a couple of links to keep in your back pocket, iykyk:

fr fr, if you're stuck, the FAQ is right there. go read it, she's not gonna judge 💅
