2Thumbnail Issue: Thumbnail always get download in Webp format. It should be in jpg or jpeg or Png like firedm software always download thumbnail in PNG.

This feature already exist in byclick youtube downloader,Mediahuman youtube downloader etc. Screenshot of Autodetect feature of byclick youtube downloader software 120233028-74688800-c272-11eb-9772-cacc8d29b88a

4)Try to use Yt-dlp in future updates : Though i am not an expert But as far as my little knowledge which i have , I found that Yt-dlp gives more options and better than Youtube-dl. In the latest release of Yt-dlp, Developer has merged youtube-dl into yt-dlp. You can check the release notes

Btw firedm software gives both options. You can use youtube_dl and Yt_dlp as per your wish. 120720238-5d7f9b00-c4e9-11eb-813f-6c24896571d2 (1)

1: Multi-thread Downloading/ Connections per Download

My understanding is that youtube-dl doesn't support multi-threaded downloading.

Thumbnail Issue: Thumbnail always get download in Webp format. It should be in jpg or jpeg or Png like firedm software always download thumbnail in PNG.

YDL-UI is only a GUI for youtube-dl, downloading thumbnails uses the --write-thumbnail flag, image format is determined by youtube-dl. Unless an option is available in youtube-dl to change thumbnail format, it won't be implemented.

Clipboard Monitoring and download automatically

This sounds interesting, but what stops it from downloading non-downloadable URLs? Or is it only for YouTube URLs?

Try to use Yt-dlp in future updates

YDL-UI was made for youtube-dl. You are free to change what distribution of youtube-dl is used by YDL-UI. See Settings > Binaries.

Never heard of FireDM

It works for youtube URLs and other supportive websites. I recommend you to provide atleast for youtube URLs in your next update so whenever someone copy a youtube URL then the software downloads the video without any prompt.

This is FireDM- a general purpose download manager based on LibCurl which also supports youtube-dl, written in Python.
