RogueFetch is a Windows desktop utility from Rogue Gain that downloads, converts, and organizes supported online media using a clear local interface — no command line, no manual FFmpeg install.
Lawful use only. RogueFetch is intended solely for downloading media you own, have permission to download, or are otherwise authorised to save. You are responsible for complying with the terms of service of any site you use it with and with applicable copyright law. Cookie import is provided only so you can access content you are personally entitled to; it is optional and never enabled automatically.
What's fixed in 1.0.3
This release fixes two bugs that made a fresh install unable to do its core job. Anyone on 1.0.1 or 1.0.2 should update.
- Bundled FFmpeg is now actually found. Previous packaged builds shipped FFmpeg one folder away from where the app looked for it, so every install reported "FFmpeg unavailable" and could not convert audio, merge video+audio, or embed metadata — despite FFmpeg being present. It now loads correctly, and the build itself fails if FFmpeg is ever unreachable again.
- Save As now suggests the media's real title. The save dialog was pre-filling its own window caption ("Save media as") as the filename instead of the title of the video or track you fetched. It now suggests the actual title, with the correct extension for your chosen format.
Nothing else about the product changed: same bundled LGPL FFmpeg, same licensing and source materials, refreshed checksums.
Upgrading
Install over any earlier version — the installer removes the previous installation so you are not left with two copies, and your settings and history are preserved.
Verifying your download
RogueFetch-1.0.3-SHA256SUMS.txt lists the SHA-256 of each file. The bundled FFmpeg is unchanged from 1.0.2, so the ffmpeg-source and ffmpeg-build-scripts archives (and their checksums) are identical to that release.
