Bug#988031: ITP: youtubedl-gui -- GUI on youtube-dl to download videos from a variety of sites
Yeah, I'm not afraid of the command line, but my 9yo daughter might prefer the gui. Anyway, I'll add a list of alternative programs to the documentation in any case, maybe with a brief discussion of pros/cons. In fact, I'd welcome putting the information here as pull requests against the repo! In debian/NOTES.org or something like that.

Hi, I think I prefer the former https://github.com/JaGoLi/ytdl-gui to the latter https://github.com/mhogomchungu/media-downloader . I've also tried to package a youtube-dl gui, https://github.com/MrS0m30n3/youtube-dl-gui which seemed abandoned, and then a fork named tartube which seemed too bloated. I just wanted a very simple interface, and https://github.com/JaGoLi/ytdl-gui seems to fit the bill nicely! Thanks for your packaging effort, I think having a nice gui for youtube-dl would be a big plus for Debian! I'm more of a cli user, but several people to whom I showed youtube-dl were impressed, but stayed a bit afraid by the command line :-). Regards, -- Félix signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Hi, maybe you are aware of https://github.com/mhogomchungu/media-downloader It serves the very same purpose, but it seems to have much more options for controlling the exact format you want to download. It is also a simple C++, Qt based project, but it is not packaged yet, so maybe it is a better option. Regards, Alberto
