Wont abort download #300

Closed kolbdog323 closed 2 months ago

I am trying to abort a youtube download in the middle of a download but the abort button is greyed out please fix it since its very annoying having to wait for the video to finish downloading before you can close videomass.

Sorry, that button will not work for a single download, so it is not activated. As explained here programmatic stopping of a download has not yet been implemented in the yt_dlp API and there is currently no alternative.

EDIT After some tests, a new implementation for downloads is planned, being able to run yt-dlp as an executable/binary so it will be possible to stop the download in progress from any point.
