Any plans on supporting Linux?

Because it uses WPF for UI, getting it on Linux even with Wine is problematic. I’ve succeeded only after I have built it as a self-contained app, but even then it is very laggy with Wine.

Mainly, I see two options: either we create a full-fledged Linux UI, or we abstract the main functionality into a CLI module to let other volunteers to make the UI.

I’m compelled to ask, as I am a little bit confused by the project status in the README: warning: maintenance mode (bug fixes only). Does it mean that no new features, including Linux support, will ever be considered, and for this I have to make my own fork? Or it simply means that the repo owner can’t promise the new features will be developed, but PRs are welcomed?

Btw, are you making any modifications to youtube stream blobs after you download them? In other words, what is the purpose of ffmepg - do you re-encode the video stream, or you just use it for bundling purposes?

The audio and video streams come in separately, so ffmpeg is used to multiplex them together. In some cases it’s also used to convert into other formats.

If you want, you could write your own Linux version using YoutubeExplode, which is the library YoutubeDownloader uses under the hood. Most of the hard work is handled by the library anyway.

Beautiful, I didn’t know YoutubeDownloader is just a wrapper. I’ll be happy to spend a few hours/days building a new UI 😃 Thank you for a great library.
