A user-friendly, menu-driven Python Program for yt-dlp - GitHub - AstroLightz/yt-dlp-adv2: A user-friendly, menu-driven Python Program for yt-dlp

I made this Python menu-driven CLI script for yt-dlp. It guides you through a series of menus to download content from a YouTube URL.

If anyone is interested, feedback would be greatly appreciated as only I have tested this so far, and I want to make sure it works for other people’s systems.

If you encounter any issues or bugs, let me know so I can fix them!

Edit: I should mention: This is not a pipx package. That was never the intention developing this initially. I might make it a package in the future, but for now, it is just a project directory.

    User friendly LOL!

    You shoulda lead with that. I love the humor. Can’t stop laughing,

    The entire project is a bug LOL!

    Where to start?

    1. There is no packaging at all

    Start with a pyproject.toml and work from there.

    1. no tests

    Everything is a bug until it’s got test coverage.

    1. screenshots

    In the .github folder?! That’s gotta be a 1st

    1. no dev environment

    Expecting pre-commit as well as isort, flask, black, and mypy

    1. print statements galore

    Looked into requirements.txt expecting to find a console UI framework. There is none!

    A pattern has emerged that many Python coders have spent not enough to no time learning packaging, dev toolchain, and CI/CD publishing. When asking folks to test your work they’ll be expecting a published package, not a series of amateurish scripts and a bash install script.

    Should write an advertisement

    Please someone skilled at console UI and packaging please please please help in a paid position.

    Can confidently say, you need help.

    Not writing more features the OP is good at that. Just packaging and swapping out the prehistoric console UI with a modern console UI framework.
