![]() It is just a thing of priorities and likings. But that doesnt make the GUI worse, of course. I am sorry if this offended you in some way, but my only reason was to point out: "Hey, you already know of yt-dlp and you like it because it is opensource, and you look for a good GUI? Thats totally cool! But if your primary purpose was to stay fully opensource, Stacher isnt opensource btw. Thats why I tried to pay attention to the terms I used (Quoting myself: "(which doesnt make any softare worse, of course, but maybe interesting to know)" ). I wasnt demonizing neither Stacher, nor other closed source stuff. Now, people who read it (public posts are not only for the OP, but in the end alot of people read them and maybe have similar questions) and once heard a bit about opensource, and know yt-dlp is opensource, they would trust the post, since Stacher is combined with yt-dlp in that post, and thus they coul probably miss, that, while yt-dlp is opensource, Stacher is not opensource. A user suggests yt-dlp (opensource) in combination with Stacher (closed source, and not its own software, but purely a GUI, because it uses yt-dlp, which is still opensource). Look, again a piece of my mind, but I try to make it shorter, hopefully: Stacher is not its own software, it is using yt-dlp, which is opensource. I didnt expect my comment would cause such a big discussion. And funny enough yt-dlp which is open-source worked best for them, but the OP didn't care whether it was open-source or not. I just wanted to point out it was uncalled for here and show you have something against closed-source (even if you claim otherwise) because what you did was unnecessary.Įdit: Looks like your comment was edited again.īut the OP was just looking for the any good solution and didn't mention anything about preferring open-source. If this was a Linux community, what you did would be right because everyone expects the software to be open-source but this isn't one. I also prefer open-source, then freeware, then paid in that order, but if a software is great, that trumps all. It's different if the poster made the distinction themselves but the poster didn't even mention anything about open-source or closed-source. Someone who truly has nothing against closed-source would see the comment and just move on. ![]() ![]() So that what should happen? The poster should edit their comment with an open-source one? Like I said, no one asked you but you just felt you needed to put the distinction. How can you still insist you don't have anything against closed-source?Īnd since there are tons of other opensource GUIs, which are pretty good, I dont see a problem in pointing out Stacher being closed source. You even said it doesn't make much sense to you. ![]() If you had nothing against closed-source, it wouldn't be awkward seeing someone recommend it as a gui alternative to cli. That feels kind of awkward for me and it doesn't make mcuh sense in my head. It is just that awkward combination of a closed source GUI for an opensource software. I have nothing against the existence of closed source stuff. Thats the reasons I had in mind while pointing it out. But the combination of "closed source GUI" for an "open source CLI" is kind of uncommon and doesnt really connect in my head, all the while there being already many other opensource GUIs für the said opensource software.Īnd since most people, who specifically look for opensource solutions, it it probably interesting for them to know that the recommended GUI is not opensource for the opensource yt-dlp. So, nothing against it, and nothing against people recommending it. That feels kind of awkward for me and it doesn't make much sense in my head.Īnd since there are many other good opensource GUIs for it, and yt-dlp being oepnsource itself in the first place, I dont see a problem in pointing out Stacher-GUI being closed source for an opensource CLI. It is just the awkward/uncommon combination of a closed source GUI for an opensource software.
