Installation

The app supports Android versions starting from Nougat (7.0);

Remember to enable Unknown Sources from your device’s Security settings, to allow installations of non market apps (safely ignore the subsequent dialog). Please note: in newer versions of Android, this kind of permission is not system-wide, but has to be given to single apps;

If the “install” button is not working, temporary disable apps as Halo, Screenfilter, Twilight, LastPass password manager or anything similar (apps that do “draw on other apps”);

To install the app, click on the notification about the completed download; If you have a file manager installed, you can browse to your download folder and install YTD directly, clicking on its apk file.

Usage

Search for video and music within the app itself, OR

Select the “share” button in the YouTube App while watching a video (or share any YouTube plain text link via any App) and choose “YouTube downloader”;

You’ll see all the video codecs and qualities available for the video you’re on. then:

Press an item to download the video locally (on the device) or to send the download via SSH to a remote PC. Destination machine requirements: Bash and Wget (and FFmpeg for muxing 480p and 1080p videos). More SSH info available in the app’s tutorials;

Long-press an item and choose between copy to clipboard or share link as text. Note: such a link (differently from when you send it via SSH) can be only used from the same device where it has been created OR from the same LAN, if you share it to another PC;

Use the Dashboard to interact with downloaded video (audio extraction/conversion/mux and file management);

You can copy/move/rename/delete files on the external sdcard.

Known issues

Some very long running downloads may be forced to PAUSE state if the app is not kept to the front for a certain amount of time. In this cases a manual resume is needed;

It's possible to use the external (removable) sdcard as download destination folder, but that’s one caveat: only the app’s private folder will be available. IMPORTANT note: this folder will be deleted by the system (together with all your downloads) if you uninstall the app. For the moment it’s not possible to choose a different directory on the external/removable sdcard;

The stream traditionally used by the app for the video preview if often missing nowadays, so a low resolution video-only stream is being used in such cases.

Anti-features

Are not supported for download all videos that:

require login for age confirmation;

implement encrypted streams (some complete movies);
