[Request] CLI argument support #162

Open iG8R opened 1 year ago

iG8R commented 1 year ago

Hi. Thanks a lot for such a great app. Could you, please, implement the possibility to pass arguments (URL, custom arguments) from external sources to youtube-dl-wpf via command line, e.g. there is an addon for Firefox called "Open with...", it can pass the URL to external applications for opening or for any other actions with it. In this way it would be possible to use youtube-dl-wpf to download the video the user liked. Why does somebody need it while they can use native yt-dlp? This is all in order to be able to choose a destination folder where to save your favorite video(playlist).

Does this addon support specifying the working directory? yt-dlp saves downloaded files to the current working directory by default.
