# YouTube Downloader (official)

**This pack is NOT the full downloader.** `plugin.js` is only the Settings / Apps companion
(help text + tips). Real downloads use **yt-dlp inside the ggbro desktop host**.

Host modules (shipped in the desktop app):
- `YoutubeDownloaderHostApp.tsx`
- `YtPlaylistPanel.tsx` (per-track / Download all)
- main-process `youtube:download` IPC

## How to know if it's a playlist?

1. Open the playlist (or a video playing from one) on YouTube.
2. Check the address bar for `list=`.
3. If you see **`list=PL…`** — that's a real playlist. Paste the URL into the App.
4. If you see **`list=RD…`** — that's an auto Mix, not supported for bulk download.

## Where to use it

- **Apps → YouTube Downloader** — paste a link, pick Video (MP4) or Audio (MP3), download.
- **YouTube Playlist player** — download icon on each track, or **Download all** for PL lists.
- Progress appears in the shared **Downloads** popup (multi-file queue).

Files save under your system Downloads folder in `GGBRO YouTube`.

Desktop app required (uses yt-dlp).
