YouTube Downloader By Abdul Rahman

Feel free to give STAR ⭐

This repository contains two separate Python programs for downloading YouTube content:

1. Download Playlist: Downloads all videos from a YouTube playlist.
2. Download Single Video: Downloads a single YouTube video.

Both programs use the yt-dlp library to handle the downloading process.

Prerequisites :

Ensure you have Python installed on your system. You also need to install the yt-dlp library. You can install it using pip:

pip install yt-dlp

        'merge_output_format': 'mp4',  # Use 'mkv' if you prefer that format
        'outtmpl': f'{download_path}/%(title)s.%(ext)s',
        'noplaylist': False,  # Set to True if you want to download only a single video
    }
    
    with yt_dlp.YoutubeDL(ydl_opts) as ydl:
        ydl.download([playlist_url])

playlist_url = 'https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLihCJJ6_IteEo46nNNA4ksZw7ITDQ7nkS'
