A WPF-based Windows GUI front-end for youtube-dl and yt-dlp, called Cube YouTube Downloader. It wraps the command-line downloaders with a graphical interface for format selection, playlist handling, subtitle and thumbnail embedding, and proxy configuration.
Use cases
- download youtube videos with a gui
- graphical front end for yt-dlp
- download whole playlists from youtube
- embed subtitles and thumbnails into downloaded videos
- select video and audio formats before downloading
- use a proxy with yt-dlp downloads
- windows gui for youtube-dl
When to choose
- you want a native Windows GUI instead of typing yt-dlp commands
- you need playlist item selection, format overrides, and subtitle embedding in a point-and-click interface
- you want automatic updater integration for yt-dlp/youtube-dl
When to avoid
- you are on Linux or macOS - it is a WPF app for Windows only
- you want a downloader that works out of the box - it requires separately installed yt-dlp/youtube-dl and FFmpeg
- you prefer scripting or automation - the CLI tools themselves are more flexible
