uTubePy, a YouTube downloader.

Unlike the others YouTube downloaders, uTubePy allows you to download a video with higher resolutions (like 1080p or 4k)

Usage:

YouTube (and other web videos provider) split audio and video, then we have to download video and audio in a separate way, next we can merge these two temp files (video.mp4,audio.mp4) into a single one.

Install the dependencies with pip3

GUI version

$ python3 gui_pytdwn.py

Output be like:

CLI version

$ python3 pyt_dwn.py

1. then put the url, next the resolution and last the mode (A=audio only, V=video only, B=both audio and video)
2. choose if add another video or start download
3. enjoy ;)

TODO & Problems

PYTUBE

Using pytube, we earn all the library problems... like

• 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'span'

  PyTube has a common issue () you can see it on their github page (https://github.com/pytube/pytube/issues).

   	A solution is provided by @ifahadone, you need to replace a function into "/Users/alby/Library/Python/3.8/lib/python/site-packages/pytube/cipher.py" file.
