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

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
