A cross platform front-end GUI of the popular youtube-dl media downloader written in wxPython. Youtube-dl-gui uses youtube-dl in the backend to download files. Youtube-dl provides a list of extractors to work with each particular site. You can change the naming pattern by picking a different filename format under the Options>General tab. You can also use a custom pattern by setting the option to "Custom" and editing the output template field. You can change the number of max parallel downloads by editing the "workers_number" option in your settings.json file. You can add extra youtube-dl command line options in the commands box under the Options>Extra tab. You can use your own version of youtube-dl by editing the "youtubedl_path" option in your settings.json file and make it point to your own binary (e.g. /usr/local/bin).
