Open Video Downloader - GUI for youtube-dl made in Electron and node.js
no clients work for some reason
3 projects | /r/youtubedl | 19 Feb 2023

I was using a nice gui client for youtube dl just yesterday when it just refused to download a mp3 for some reason. I deleted that client and downloaded this one https://github.com/dsymbol/yt-dlp-gui and it didn't work neither. So then I downloaded this one https://github.com/jely2002/youtube-dl-gui and it didn't work neither. The last one said "Error! Binaries missing/corrupted." So what can I do?

But if you want a 3rd party video downloader I recommend Open Video Downloader it has some advantage like sponsor block, choosing codec …etc
