Integration

Portable mode

Program can be used in portable and non-portable mode. The difference is where the program stores its settings and intermediate data (e.g. the search results or content of the feeds). In non-portable mode the settings are stored in registry and data is stored in application data folders of current user. In portable mode everything is stored in the program directory.

32-bit and 64-bit versions can be placed in the same directory, intermediate data and program settings in this case will remain be separate.

Windows support

The minimum supported Windows version for 32-bit program version is Windows XP SP3 with SSE-capable CPU.

The minimum supported Windows version for 64-bit program version is Windows Vista.

Official yt-dlp builds require at least Windows 8, so program uses custom yt-dlp builds with Windows Vista as the minimum supported version.

Windows XP support

Bundled yt-dlp requires at least Windows Vista. For Windows XP you can try alternative yt-dlp build from this repository. Make sure you use yt-dlp_x86_winXP.exe executable, others won't work on XP.

After you downloaded exe file, select it in the program using menu Tools Options Page analysis yt-dlp Location Browse.

Native SSL backend on Windows XP might be outdated. If you are getting errors mentioning SSL connect error (35), go to Tools Options Network libcurl and select a variant containing OpenSSL.

Linux support

There is no native version for Linux, but it should work ok under Wine.

Better to set Windows version for the program to Windows XP, otherwise some UI parts may be displayed incorrectly.

If you see the error containing SSL connect error (35), go to menu Tools Options Network libcurl and select a variant containing OpenSSL.

This actually might be caused by missing libgnutls package, which is used to provide schannel functionality. This package is an optional dependency for Wine (at least on some distributions), so its installation should resolve this issue. Package name differs across Linux distributions and Wine versions, so no exact name here.

Installer command line
