Do you want another girl to argue your girl's preferences? Why?

Here, again, I say: do cURL or wget require a GUI? But both may have.
Do this, create your github repo and mention it on youtube-dl's Wiki,
do this. And say hi to your girl.

I'm wondering: is there an existing chrome extension with some back-end (similar to maybe youtube-dl-server in spirit) that would work with youtube-dl?

with youtube video downloading for some reason. Someones gonna tell me

Such extension would not actually do any youtube downloading, only pass messages to a back-end that does it 🐰

@thbar I've written a Chrome and Safari extension: http://github.com/jaimeMF/youtube-dl_extensions. It just gives the links to the videos.
It uses a server to get the videos info, unfortunately links to youtube videos will only work if you use a local server.

You can find the code here.
The PHP code is under GPL but the images and CSS are not free.
It is mainly using passthru to send the file to the browser.

I haven't seen any Python Qt implementation yet, so here's my take on it.
https://github.com/AndreMiras/youtube-dl-qt

I decided to fork, but I could really be two separated projects.
What's the best way to contribute?
It's just a PoC, but perhaps it could be listed as PyQt/PySide implementation example.
Let me know what you think.

@AndreMiras I have also made a GUI in PyQt. It is currently for python >= v2.6 and not v3.x Tell me what you think about my GUI. There is also a windows binary available.

I have created AllTube addons for Firefox and Chrome:
https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/alltube-download/
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/alltube-download/jliefeokbdiebbbppokcjnaljopdhffe

It does not include youtube-dl but merely passes the URL to alltubedownload.net.

Is there a Firefox addon without need for a separate server? (toolbar button that calls a local youtube-dl/youtube-dl-gui binary)

It was proposed to add youtube-dl as a backend for https://github.com/IsSuEat/open-livestreamer-firefox-addon (issue here) but I wasn't able to add it myself.

I can recommend https://github.com/MrS0m30n3/youtube-dl-gui and https://github.com/Rudloff/alltube, both great.

I've only spent a day or so on it, but I've been working on a Java based, open-source frontend. Fully functional at the moment, you can specify additional options on top of the downloads folder and username/password. If anyone wants to try it out:

Many people have built GUIs and websites with youtube-dl as a backend, and they’re pretty easy to find. With that in mind, officially supporting a GUI doesn’t seem to be necessary.

I’d say this issue can be closed.

FYI: having a GUI frontend is never considered as an official plan, and IMO it's good to leave this issue open to serve as the role of a Wiki page before #11234 gets resolved.

Issue appears stale - should it be closed?

readme.md clearly indicates this is a command line only tool
Many references within this issue point to other GUI tools now available.
Issue was raised 6 years ago
OP introduced another project with links that (presumably) satisfies the original request.
Leaving an issue open to indicate it won't be worked on (as per @yan12125 above's opinion) doesn't clearly indicate the intent to work on this issue - closed is a better indicator of 'won't do' and can still be searched in issues database.
