Tartube is a front-end for youtube-dl, partly based on youtube-dl-gui and written in Python 3 / Gtk 3. Why should I use Tartube? You can fetch a list of videos from your favourite channels and playlists on YouTube, Odysee, and hundreds of other websites. If buffering is an issue, you can download a temporary copy of a video before automatically opening it in your favourite media player. Tartube will organise your videos into convenient folders.

v2.5.100 (2 Feb 2025)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MAJOR FIXES
- In the download options window, 'Formats' tab, fixed the incorrect handling
of multiple formats: multiple formats should of course be specified with
'-f 100/101/102', not '-f 100+101+102'. Also added special handling when
all specified formats are either video-only or audio-only, so that yt-dlp
receives '-f (137/136)+(140/139)'. (Note that double quotes would be
required if using this pattern in the 'Additional download options' box,
i.e. '-f "(137/136)+(140/139)"' (Git #680)
- In the Classic Mode tab, fixed the broken 'Download in this format/Convert
to this format' combo (Git #672)
- Fixed several issues to do with broken locales, some of which affected all
locales, some of which affected only the German locale (Git #670)
- Fixed inability to install yt-dlp and/or FFmpeg on MS Windows (this fix was
rolled out to MS Windows users as v2.5.062). Also fixed Tartube's inability
to spot a successful yt-dlp installation in some circumstances (Git #665,
#679)
MAJOR NEW FEATURES
- When you re-check or re-download a video, the video and its associated
metadata files are moved to a temporary folder, rather than being deleted
immediately. If the re-check/re-download fails, the original files are
moved back to their original location. This process is not foolproof (it
would not automatically recover files in the event of a loss of power, for
example), but should work in most cases (Git #676, #680 and others)
- In the System Preferences window, in the Operations > Stop tab, you can
prevent Tartube from trying to process an entire channel or playlist, by
specifying that a download should stop after finding the first few videos
that have already been checked/downloaded. You can now specify that videos
that have been filtered out because of upload date, view count and/or age
limit should be counted as a checked/downloaded video. This feature is
optional and disabled by default (Git #671)
MINOR NEW FEATURES
- In the download options window, in the 'Name' tab, the tooltip for the
'Additional download options' box shows a warning about surrounding
arguments with quotes, when they contain shell special characters (Git
#680)
- In the download options window, 'Formats' tab, added a setting to hide
formats that are apparently obsolete on YouTube. Also added some new
formats that are currently in use on YouTube, and expanded the descriptions
for many of the formats (existing and new)
- In the same window, the 'Type extractor code directly' button now allows you
to specify formats like '140-drc' that aren't among the list of standard
formats for Tartube (Git #680)

2 Why should I use Tartube?
You can fetch a list of videos from your favourite channels and playlists on YouTube, Odysee, and hundreds of other websites (see here for a full list)
If buffering is an issue, you can download a temporary copy of a video before automatically opening it in your favourite media player
Tartube will organise your videos into convenient folders (if that's what you want)
Tartube can alert you when livestreams and debut videos are starting (YouTube only)
If creators upload their videos to more than one website (YouTube and Odysee, for example), Tartube can interact with both sites without creating duplicates
Certain websites operate an "only one opinion allowed" policy. If you think that the censors will remove a video, against the wishes of its creators and before you've had a chance to watch it, Tartube can make an archive copy
Certain websites frequently place restrictions on a video, not because it is unsuitable for some audiences, but for purely political reasons. Tartube can, in some circumstances, see videos that are region-blocked and/or age-restricted
Certain websites manipulate search results, repeatedly unsubscribe people from their favourite channels and/or deliberately conceal videos that they don't like. Tartube won't do any of those things
If you want to listen to your favourite discussion videos, for example while driving a car, Tartube can make an archive copy of just the audio, rather than the full video
Tartube is free and open-source software
