Hi all,  
where can I find some official documentation about this app? Googling it by its name is obviously impossible 😃 and it seems like nothing is available in the [Wiki](https://github.com/syncloud/platform/wiki)  
Thanks a lot. Peace

Simone

HI, sorry I thought the name is self explanatory 🙂  
It downloads youtube videos by url, original project home page is here: [GitHub - marcopiovanello/yt-dlp-web-ui: A terrible web ui and RPC server for yt-dlp. Designed to be self-hosted.](https://github.com/marcopiovanello/yt-dlp-web-ui)

the name is self explanatory for sure 🙂 but unfortunately downloads end with no errors and with no data, so I’m looking for configuration options to see what’s wrong with that.Thx

I see, let me upgrade to latest (that usually helps with youtube) and test.  
Is it just some specific video or all of them do not work?

it works now! I’ve just had a try with the default options, I haven’t explored options yet. I’ll keep you up to date…as soon as I have more time to spend on it. Thanks a lot

Yeah, services like YouTube love to change their API 🙂
