v0.7.0

Windows desktop app for downloading videos via yt-dlp, with a bundled custom FFmpeg for post-processing/remuxing.

What's new since v0.6.0

• Added a proper MSI installer (VideoDownloader-0.7.0-Setup.msi), built with the WiX Toolset — installs per-machine to Program Files with a Start Menu shortcut and supports silent installs (msiexec /i ... /quiet). Replaces the old, broken Setup.vdproj that required the (deprecated) Visual Studio Installer Projects extension.
• The portable .zip remains available for anyone who'd rather not install anything.

Features

• Paste a link (or auto-detect one from the clipboard) and pick a video/audio quality, or auto-select the best available.
• Batch downloads: drag-and-drop a list of URLs, or load them from a .txt file.
• Configurable number of simultaneous downloads.
• Per-job progress (percentage, speed, ETA) with cancel support.
• Download history with search, one-click redownload, "open in browser", and a clear-history action.
• Light/Dark/System UI theme, switchable at runtime.
• Automatically keeps the bundled yt-dlp.exe up to date on startup.
• UI available in English and Polish.

Requirements: Windows, .NET 8 Desktop Runtime.

Run VideoDownloader-0.7.0-Setup.msi to install, or download VideoDownloader-v0.7.0-win-x64.zip, extract, and run VideoDownloader.Wpf.exe for a portable copy.

v0.6.0

Windows desktop app for downloading videos via yt-dlp, with a bundled custom FFmpeg for post-processing/remuxing.

What's new since v0.5.0

• Fixed: clicking X on a queued (not yet started) job did nothing — canceling a queued download now actually removes it from the queue.
• Completed job cards can now be dismissed from the list with the X button, without touching the downloaded file.
• Download history now logs an entry as soon as a download starts (not only once it finishes), and reports the correct file size/average speed for the final merged/recoded file.
• Fixed emoji toolbar/history icons staying dark and unreadable in Dark theme — replaced with theme-aware vector icons.
• Theming polish: list highlighting and the job card's cancel button now consistently follow the app palette.
• Light theme now uses a subtle blue tint instead of flat white/gray.

Features

• Paste a link (or auto-detect one from the clipboard) and pick a video/audio quality, or auto-select the best available.

What's new since v0.2.0

• The app is now WPF-only; the old WinForms front end has been retired.
• Download history: every attempt (completed, failed, or canceled) is logged to a local SQLite database — browse it with search, one-click redownload, "open in browser", and a clear-history action.
• Light/Dark/System UI theme, switchable at runtime.
• Custom Yes/No confirmation dialog and a redesigned About window/toolbar.
• Guards against closing the app while a download is still in progress.
