4 months ago As far as I can tell, a download engine can't replace yt-dlp because it doesn't extract the download link from web pages. You have to feed it the link manually, or have yt-dlp do it by using the download engine (aria2c for example) as an external downloader (by passing --downloader [PROTO:]NAME to yt-dlp).
Even if that were not the case, I wouldn't be willing to integrate another download tool, because it just complicates things too much. I'd rather make a different, dedicated GUI for it instead.
If yt-dlp gets removed from GitHub, you can use the fork ytdl-patched instead, which is already fully supported by ytdlp-interface. If that gets removed too, then I guess we're f-ed.
Incidentally, I just released v2.13 which fully supports aria2c as an external downloader for yt-dlp (you have to use --downloader aria2c as a custom argument).

Hello, thank you so much for this great amazing downloader ! 🥇
I know the integration of yt-dlp is already very complex and complicated but I would like to suggest my discoveries of new download engines because perhaps yt-dlp will once again undergo censorship or deletion from github....
thus the support of other download engines would make it possible to circumvent the possible problems and censorship of yt-dlp and make the download eat even stronger and support new sites....of course we know it is technically impossible to add the support for all these machines, so we hope to please select only one or 2 download engines to add and strengthen support for the m3u8 protocol for example in order to download from even more web sites and possibly overcome eventual yt-dlp bugs and even more speed up downloads , thank you very much !

this download engine can download media content from a DASH-MPEG or DASH-WebM MPD manifest !
"This application is able to download content from certain streams that do not work with other applications (for example xHE-AAC streams which are currently unsupported by ffmpeg, streamlink, VLC, gstreamer)."
DASH features supported VOD (static) stream manifests Multi-period content XLink elements (only with actuate=onLoad semantics), including resolve-to-zero All forms of segment index info: SegmentBase@indexRange, SegmentTimeline, SegmentTemplate@duration, SegmentTemplate@index, SegmentList Media containers of types supported by mkvmerge, ffmpeg or VLC (this includes ISO-BMFF / CMAF / MP4, WebM, MPEG-2 TS) Subtitles: preliminary download support for WebVTT, TTML and SMIL streams, as well as some support for the wvtt format
hlsdl : C program to download VoD HLS (.m3u8) files, it seems that some people said ffmpeg could have some problems with hls streams...
