summary
This is a simple program that allows you to download YouTube videos.
type
Post
Before we start, we will first install the necessary libraries:
- pytube:
pip install pytube
- tkinter:
pip install tkinter
Import the YouTube class from the pytube library and import everything from the tkinter module, which will be used to interact with YouTube videos and create the graphical interface.
Define a function called actions() that will be executed when the download button is clicked. In this function, get the video link entered by the user from the entry widget (Entry). Then, create an instance of the YouTube class with the video link, and get the highest available resolution for the video. Finally, download the video using the specified settings.
Create the main window using the Tk class and configure some appearance options. This includes setting a border size of 25, making the window non-resizable, setting a title for the window ("Download videos"), and setting an icon using a specific icon file.
Create a label widget (Label) in the main window. This label will display the text "enter the link of the video to download" and will be placed in row 0 and column 1 using the grid system.
Create an entry widget (Entry) where the user can enter the video link. This widget is placed in row 1 and column 1 within the main window using the grid system.
Create a button widget (Button) with the text "Download" that will execute the actions() function when clicked. The button is placed in row 2 and column 1 within the main window using the grid system.
Start the main loop of the graphical interface. This makes the main window appear and remain open until the user closes it. During this time, the interface will respond to user interactions, such as clicking the download button.
