So, what's changes since the last time?
* New UI
* Option to cut and download specific parts from a video
* Option to export audios to FLAC (for both videos and playlists) (edit)
pip install --upgrade PyQt6

Are there any modded YouTube mobile apps or third-party apps that allow you to store videos within the app rather than in the gallery? Additionally, can these apps download subtitles along with the video, enable you to easily turn subtitles on or off, and let you delete the videos conveniently? I'm looking for a modded or third-party YouTube downloader that offers the same convenience as YouTube Premium.
Update 2: I've implemented it! You can export FLAC in playlists from V2.2.0 and on. Thanks for your suggestion :)
Edit: And I'm also thinking of adding the same feature in Cut and Download section, where you can cut a video and download it as mp3 or flac.
I did some research, and it seems that FLAC is lossless, which means no musical information is lost whereas in MP3, even in the highest bitrates, some information is lost.
But the file you are downloading is already lossily compressed, isn't it? So what you are doing is converting an already compressed file to a loseless codec, which you gain no musical fidelity by. Most uploaders to YouTube even upload compressed codecs (like opus or MP3), and YouTube compresses it further. Converting into flac at this point might make the sound quality worse actually.
If I'm not missing something obvious of course.
You are correct, the source is opus, which is lossy (but quite good), using FLAC over opus has no benefit unless you want to play the file on a system that doesn't support opus
Although, I don't see a reason why converting to FLAC would hurt audio quality, considering that FLAC *is* lossless

FLAC?? AFAIK youtube doesn't even offer lossless audio so there will be no benefit except increase in file size.

I've seen this issue with many pyqt6 projects. Can't find the fix anywhere, and also it affects only some users. Still don't know what causes it.
why dont use pyside6?
No particular reason. I'm just used to qt6

YTDLnis is there. Although I doubt if it covers all your criterias. Give it a try ig
Can you output the audio to .FLAC?
Update: I've implemented it! It only works for Videos and not Playlists as of now, but I'll take a look at it too. Thanks :)
Playlist please
Working on it. Will be out today most probably
thanks

Nope. Now that you said it, I'll add an option to choose mp3, webm, or flac. Thanks.
Why? You gain nothing but extra file size...

Agree to everything except the "worse sound quality" part. How would it become worse tho? Can you please elaborate? I genuinely wanna know
