[affan-ch]

Problem Statement: Currently, Nitro Downloader lacks the ability to allow users to select the preferred video format during the download process. This limits user flexibility and may result in unnecessary bandwidth consumption. We aim to enhance the user experience by implementing yt-dlp's format selection feature in the video download functionality.

Proposed Solution: Integrate yt-dlp's format selection capabilities into Nitro Downloader's video download feature. This will empower users to choose the desired video format based on their preferences, internet speed, and device compatibility.

Tasks:

• [ ] yt-dlp Integration:

  • Update Nitro Downloader to use yt-dlp as the underlying library for video downloads.
  • Ensure that the integration is seamless and does not disrupt the existing download functionality.

• [ ] User Interface (UI) Modification:

  • Enhance the user interface to include a dropdown or selection mechanism for choosing video formats.
  • Display relevant information about each format, such as resolution, file size, and codec, to assist users in making informed decisions.

• [ ] Format Options Retrieval:

  • Implement a mechanism to fetch and display the available video formats for a given YouTube video.
  • Ensure that the format options are retrieved efficiently without causing delays in the user experience.

• [ ] Default Format Selection:

  • Define a default video format selection strategy for users who do not wish to manually choose a format.
  • Consider factors such as device compatibility and internet speed to intelligently determine the default selection.

• [ ] Download Handling:

  • Modify the download handler to accommodate user-selected video formats.
  • Ensure that the chosen format is accurately reflected in the downloaded file.

• [ ] Error Handling:

  • Implement robust error handling to address scenarios where a selected format is unavailable or encounters download issues.
  • Provide informative error messages to guide users in troubleshooting.

• [ ] Testing:

  • Conduct extensive testing to validate the new feature's functionality under various scenarios, including different video types, internet speeds, and user preferences.

• [ ] Documentation:

  • Update the user documentation to reflect the changes and provide clear instructions on how to use the new format selection feature.

Additional Considerations:

• Performance: Ensure that the format selection and download process is optimized for performance and does not negatively impact the overall application speed.
• User Feedback: Consider adding user feedback mechanisms, such as progress indicators and completion notifications, to enhance the overall user experience.

Expected Outcome: Upon completion of this issue, Nitro Downloader users should be able to seamlessly select their preferred video format during the download process, providing a more flexible and personalized downloading experience.
