This is the first post on my project “ytuwu”. It’s a YouTube downloader written in rust. The current features can be viewed in my readme.

I had this idea because ytdlp, the alternative written in python, does not allow the download of an entire channel, meaning you would have to extract all the singles, EPS and albums by yourself. I wanted something that could do that for me, so here is ytuwu (an ongoing project for ~2 months now).

The last 4h were used to make the API more usable, so the user doesn’t have to specify the full path for the channel id/browse ID.
I also implemented the default process so it can display media that is just queued and not being downlaoded right now.

The attachment shows a full download of a playlist containing 13 songs at full audio quality. :3
