youtube-dl GUI's
To begin with, we knew of one GUI simply named
youtube-dl-guioryoutube-dlgby MrS0m30n3, whose development eventually halted, and then oleksisfraga took up the keyboard and continued development, but google being google kept driving traffic to the original one, since it's linked to from a lot of places on the net.Time went on and more GUI's popped up, including two new ones also named
youtube-dl-gui... this is our list of known GUI's, it's probably not complete. We add to it as we discover more.youtube-dl-gui by MrS0m30n3The first hit on google for youtube-dl gui is MrS0m30n3's youtube-dl-gui, but this is no longer maintained, version 0.4 released july 19, 2017. It has bugs and issues. We do not recommend this version!
Cross platform
These are the nice GUIs that everyone should be able to use and enjoy.
