Youtube Downloader Flutter

This is a cross platform app (currently tested on Android and Windows) to download videos from YouTube, it’s still a WIP. It is mostly e remake of YoutubeDownloader. You can search a video from YouTube (within the app) and chose which stream you’d like to download. If FFMPEG is added to the path you can long-press two tiles (audio and video), and those tracks will be merged into one, remember that muxed tracks (the ones with already audio + video, have a poor quality).

Building the app

You must have the flutter sdk installed.

First clone the app into your system: git clone https://github.com/Hexer10/youtube_downloader_flutter.git

Then from inside the project directory run: flutter build <windows/apk/linux>

Then locate and run the app (ie in windows it is located inside build\windows\runner\Release).
