YTDL - Advanced Media Extraction Engine

A lightweight, universal desktop client for yt-dlp and FFmpeg, built with Electron. Designed for maximum extraction efficiency with zero bloat.

🚀 Core Features

• Dynamic Architecture Routing: Automatically detects host OS architecture (x64, ia32) and injects the optimized native binaries at runtime.
• Thin Client Bootloader: Keeps the initial application size under 150MB by downloading media codecs dynamically during the first launch.
• Advanced Extraction Engine: Isolated video and audio extraction protocols with custom caps for framerate, resolution, and audio bitrate.
• Garbage Collection: Automatically sweeps and purges fragmented .part and .ytdl files upon forceful termination.

⚙️ Technical Architecture

• Frontend: Vanilla HTML/CSS/JS (Zero-Touch UI Protocol)
• Backend: Node.js / Electron
• Engines: yt-dlp (Core), FFmpeg (Codec Merging), ffprobe (Metadata)

📦 Installation

Download the latest Universal Setup executable from the Releases page. The installer will automatically configure the correct 32-bit or 64-bit dependencies for your system.

🛡️ Security Note

This build forces devTools: false and removes the default application menu to prevent Chromium inspector injections and shortcut overrides in production environments.
