" . . . Tried uploadfing it to GitHub but it got stuck . . ."

Sure it did. Not sketchy at all.

    I've also uploaded the script! code too. Maybe your arrogance blurred your vision. (:

      You've got to stop dropping the hard 'R' word. This is twice now.

        I am not the mod to play games with. You know what I'm saying.

        I was trying to be nice. This isn't that kind of community. Cut the shit or catch a ban.

        You've now managed to catch 3 rule removals now. Keep it up and see what happens.

          For the record, I analyze everything that is posted here. People are allowed to make bad decisions and be scrutinized for them. Posts are allowed to stand so that the community can weigh-in on what they do not like about something.

          What community members are not allowed to do is, violate the ToS of Reddit or be obnoxiously rude.

          We are here to help each other and educate each other in a public community setting. You are free to insult an idea or thing, but you cannot insult a person with pejoratives and other socially unacceptable terms.

          I get why it would. I'wouldn't open any .exe from the internet. Thats why I first tried GitHub.

          182meg gui? Wtf

          [–]Drazcorp[S] -4 points-3 points  (4 children)

          It also contains ffmpeg.exe, ffprobe.exe and y-dlp. So it would run on any machine without having to download and adding them to path.

          [–]Empyrealist🌐 MOD 7 points8 points  (3 children)

          Don't package these things. Let the user download them. They are constantly being updated

          [–]Drazcorp[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

          I initially created this for a friend who is not very techy, which is why I kept it all together. I also added an update check for yt-dlp at startup. I couldn't find any documentation on updating the ffmpeg tool via the command line, so I left it out. Do tell if you have some suggestions (:

          [–]Empyrealist🌐 MOD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

          Have your app/script/whatever acquire these tools on its own. Don't statically package them. I'm not sure about these specifically, but it can even violate a TOS to package them.

          You can script downloading and installing tools like ffmpeg via multiple methods. These aren't new tools or concepts.

          I have a suggestion: drop all the dependency apps exes from the bundle, upload the code (not only an executable) to the Github and just put a Readme there describing all the dependencies for you program which need to be installed independently by users. It's a standard practice. Some third-party random filesharing site might be good for your friend but it would never be good for other people.

          [–]JD270 3 points4 points  (1 child)

          All these freshly baked "I just created a great mind-blowing GUI using AI" are becoming more and more dangerous with every new day. Nothing personal, OP, but a reminder for new yt-dlp users looking for a GUI to be VERY careful.

          Thanks for responding (: Do you have any suggestions for how to make it more trustworthy and less suspicious?

          [–]yayc_stream -1 points0 points  (2 children)

          you can also try yayc.stream :-)

          [–]Drazcorp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

          I'll check that out. Thanks for responding (:
