Ytdl features #293

Closed jeanslack closed 5 months ago

jeanslack commented 5 months ago

This PR adds Geo-restriction and Cookies features to Videomass YouTube Downloader.

Geo-restriction includes geo verification proxy, geo bypass, geo bypass country, geo bypass ip block .

Cookie options include manually selecting a Netscape HTTP type file nemed cookies.txt and an automation to extracting such file from a specified web browser. Of course all these features are already included on yt_dlp but have been re-implemented in GUI version of Videomass.

Furthermore, various bugs are fixed, in particular errors and inconsistencies during the initialization of the default path name of the trash directory.

For login credentials using YouTube Downloader, it was necessary to ensure that they were not stored in the configuration file, so the user would be forced to re-enter them every time the application was restarted.
