Comments and Reviews
Tested on Mac M1 Monterrey. Simple, clear, lightweight GUI to yt-dlp and youtube-dl. It allows to download playlists also. I use it on Mac. I got an error due to permissions. I had to use BatChmod in order to remove all restrictions in recursive mode so it could run. Using Monterrey on M1 Mac.
Fast, lightweight. Good, clear interface. I have tested it both on heavy Youtube files (over 40 minutes) and short ones (~2 minutes). VDL has "YT-DLP" and "Youtube-DL" support - the former works perfectly for me. The app also has a lot of advanced settings - audio files support, network tunings and so on. The app had been tested by me on Windows 10.
