YTSage
YTSage is a desktop application and graphical user interface for downloading video and audio from YouTube and other platforms. Built using the PySide6 framework and powered by the yt-dlp engine, it provides a visual interface for media extraction and file organization.
The application includes a dedicated media filter that removes sponsored segments from downloaded videos using community-sourced timestamp data. It also features a metadata extractor to fetch and save subtitles, thumbnails, descriptions, and chapter markers.
The tool supports batch playlist processing, audio format conversion with volume normalization, and targeted video trimming. It manages network traffic through concurrent connection optimization, download speed limiting, and proxy configuration, while using browser cookies to access private or age-restricted content.
