Description

From the listing uploaded by “ddnut”.

BEFORE INSTALLATION - First of all, remember to enable Unknown Sources from your device’s Security settings, to allow installations of non market apps (safely ignore the subsequent dialog). Please note: in newer versions of Android, this kind of permission is not system-wide, but has to be given to single apps; - If the “install” button is not working, temporary disable apps as Halo, Screenfilter, Twilight, LastPass password manager or anything similar (apps that do “draw on other apps”); - To install the app, click on your notification bar message for the completed download (if using the system downloads app, otherwise this may vary: i.e. if you have a file manager installed, you can browse to your downloads folder and install YTD’s apk directly, clicking on the apk file). USAGE - Search for video and music by keywords (via the sliding menu), by category, by keywords + category, by related search (long-press on a result entry) OR - Select the “share” button in the YouTube App while watching a video (or share any YouTube plain text link via any App) and choose “YouTube Downloader”; - Watch the preview - You’ll see all the video codecs and qualities available for the video you’re on. then: - Press an item to download the video locally (on the device) or to send the download via SSH to a remote PC.

Use the Dashboard to interact with downloaded video (audio extractionconversionmux and file management). FEATURES - Download of YouTube videos (support for remote download to another PC via SSH); - Support for any format quality available from YouTube; - Audio extractionconversion to mp3 via item menu in the Dashboard; - Mux Audio- and Video-only streams into a complete video (to enjoy HD resolutions available as separated streams only); - File management options via long-click on an item in the Dashboard; - Handle download link: copy andor pass it to other apps; - video list filters by format, quality, ecc. via sliding menu on the left; - Many preferences to customize usage. ### ANTI-FEATURES Are not supported for download all video that: - implement encrypted streams (some complete movies); - aren’t available in your country; - are live events.

Is there a version of YouTube Downloader for Android for older Android phones?

The current version needs Android 8.0 or later. Version 8.2.2 is the newest listed build that installs on Android 7.0 and later. It is an old build: apps that rely on online services may no longer connect when they are this old. Get version 8.2.2 · All versions

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?
