Basic Batch UI for youtube-dl
This is an easy to use Batch interface for youtube-dl. It takes away the hassle of using the Commandpromt while making it easy to download and convert your favourite songs from Youtube directly into .mp3 files.
What you need:
Just download the Batch file and place it into a folder and start it. It should automatically create a folder for the Programs called "!p". Place the ffmpeg.exe (you dont need ffplay.exe, ffprobe.exe or anything else) and the latest youtube-dl.exe into the !p folder. After that youre set! You dont really need to change anything in the config. But if you want:
The Config is pretty self-explanatory and can be edited in the head of the file. In most cases its a True/False question where y(es) is True and n(o) is False. You can change:
- if youtube-dl should look for updates on every start
- if youtube-dl should save the temp files
- if youtube-dl should ask you for custom titles
- if ffmpeg should automatically convert the downloaded file into mp3
- Where the files should go to (maybe a music folder idk)
- Where the Programs are (if you want to change the !p folder)
- If the log should be displayed
The Default conf (and the conf that I recommend) is:
rem conf
set "autoupdate=y"
set "safetemp=n"
set "askcustomtitle=n"
set "convertmp3=y"
set "songlocation="
set "programmlocation=!p"
set "showlog=y"
rem conf end
With this you can download Songs or even entire Playlists without having to worry about huge file sizes or slow downloads. I also have a similar Batch-script for videos but its a hassle to translate it. Message me if you want it and ill look into it. Thanks for Reading! Have fun Downloading.
