Medloader: A Cross-Platform Video Downloader Desktop App

If you’re tired of bloated, ad-riddled downloaders or shady browser extensions, here’s a clean, open-source alternative you can actually trust. Introducing Medloader, a Python-powered desktop application that brings modern video downloading to your fingertips—no BS, no spyware, just power and flexibility in a sleek, native UI.

Built by Phveektor, Medloader leverages the power of yt-dlp under the hood while giving you a straightforward GUI experience via Tkinter. Whether you’re grabbing clips from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or the mess formerly known as Twitter, Medloader makes it dead simple.

🔧 Key Features

• Multi-platform support
  Auto-detects platform from URL (YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and more).
• Custom resolution and audio-only modes
  Choose from “best”, 2160p down to 240p—or rip just the audio to MP3.
• Threaded downloads with real-time progress
  Say goodbye to frozen UIs. Medloader handles downloads asynchronously.
• Filename customization & smart output folders
  Choose your save path and give your file a custom name if you want—no ugly titles or hashes
• Download history viewer
  Track what you’ve downloaded in a built-in log panel. No need to dig through folders.

🧠Under the Hood

This isn’t just a one-trick script. The app is structured with maintainability and extensibility in mind:

• • Uses yt-dlp (a better-maintained youtube-dl fork) for robust downloading and format selection.
  • GUI elements are powered by Python’s native tkinter + ttk widgets, giving it a clean look across platforms.
  • >Download threads ensure that the UI stays responsive—even for long or large downloads.
  • Platform detection is based on smart URL parsing (via urllib.parse), falling back gracefully if it can’t detect.
