# Video Downloader
|
|
A video downloader with Qt 5 GUI.
|
|
|
|
Currently YouTube and Vimeo are the only maintained platforms.
|
|
|
|
This is just a downloader. It does not convert or mux anything. You might use
|
|
ffmpeg or mkvmerge to convert/remux downloaded videos.
|
|
|
|
It seems that not all YouTube videos work anymore. Since this is mainly a
|
|
learning/test project for me I currently have no intention to fix it.
|
|
|
|
## Supported YouTube quality levels
|
|
The downloader allows to download any quality, including the HD qualities. However
|
|
1080p streams (and above) are only provided as video-only or audio-only stream
|
|
by YouTube which currently need to be downloaded separately and then muxed together.
|
|
|
|
## TODO
|
|
* Fix (or remove) platforms that are not working.
|
|
* Mux video-only and audio-only streams.
|
|
* Command line interface
|
|
* Fix issues with some YouTube videos
|
|
|
|
## Build instructions
|
|
The video downloader depends on c++utilities and qtutilities and is built in the same way as these libaries.
|
|
|
|
The following Qt 5 modules are requried: core gui widgets network
