2.27 Pre-release 1
Hey it's been a bit, this is a pre-release.
Code cleanup, removing unused code stuff.
Changed the single-instance form activation when trying to open another instance, should work (tm). This doesn't activate each other between versions, this is a hard cutoff from the previous method. Not important for end users, but important if you maintain using multiple versions.
Fixed exceptions "github" button linking to youtube-dl's repo instead of mine. Sorry.
The language class got more optimized, it might be faster and use less system resources, now.
Conversion got absolutely changed. it pops up a form, like the download form. File merging should follow soon-ish.
Update checking got somewhat changed, exceptions occur with more information based on the exception.
The language file was updated for this pre-release. I don't expect to add more or change them, but i don't know. I usually prefer to release them when the new version comes out, because it's safer in case i rename something.
Anyways... yeah.

All features
This is simply a GUI for said application for windows users, without the inconsistent GUI bloat, and weight, and possible viruses. youtube-dl is not included because it's not my program, instead this application automatically downloads it. I don't fully understand how youtube-dl works, so this is only including 3 donload options, Video, Audio (MP3), and Custom, as well as changable audio quality ranging from 8-320k. Custom lets you input your own youtube-dl arguments. Settings is not quite done yet, but will be included once I get around to finding a way to save them. I, then, need to find a way to move the newely created file to a customizable path set by the user, but for now it saves the files in the youtube-dl folder.

Youtube-dl-gui, in my opinion is very simple and effective, and has everything you need, to use youtube dl in the best way, an outstanding feature it is the batch download, it is the only program that has this function, and depending on the site you download it from, this tool is of paramount importance, and gives a very large time gain. For me, who doesn't understand much of the youtube-dl command lines, the tools already available help me a lot! I recommend this program.

youtube-dl is very easy to setup and use on its own (without a gui), and you'll likely only need a few commands to master the command-line tool to get all the audio and video you need in the format and quality you desire. If you really need a gui then this tool should suffice, if you have .NET 4.5 installed that is - this requirement is why I gave it a low score.
On Windows, you only need youtube-dl.exe and the 2 ffmpeg tools - ffmpeg.exe and ffprobe.exe (both found in the ffmpeg zip). With the addition of a shell frontend (like ConsoleZ) you can avoid adding files to PATH and simply have the frontend open to the \youtube-dl folder - helps with avoiding long command-lines. Easy Peezy, either way, youtube-dl and youtube-dl-gui are great tools to get online audio & video to the desktop for offline enjoyment.
