About Media Downloader
Media Downloader is a desktop interface for several command-line programs that retrieve media and other online content. It brings a graphical front end to tools such as yt-dlp, youtube-dl, gallery-dl, lux, you-get, svtplay-dl, aria2c, and wget, so users can work with those download utilities through an application window rather than interacting with each only at a command prompt. The software is built with Qt and C++. The supported backends cover different types of online downloading, including video and image gallery retrieval as well as general file transfer. Media Downloader serves as a shared interface across these tools; the underlying downloading work is performed by the command-line programs it connects to. This makes it useful when a user wants a desktop entry point for more than one downloader, while retaining the capabilities of the installed tools. The supplied information identifies the backends but does not describe specific controls, queue management, conversion options, or supported sites, so those details should not be assumed.
