Feedback
Tell us what broke, or what is missing
Bug reports and feature requests are tracked in the open on GitHub. If you would rather not use an account, email works just as well.
Report a bug
A prefilled issue with the details that actually help: what you did, what happened, and what you expected.
- Video or playlist URL, if it is safe to share
- Browser, version and OS
- Format or quality you picked
Request a feature
Missing a format, a subtitle track or a queue nicety? Describe the workflow you want and why the current one gets in the way.
- What you are trying to do
- What you do instead today
- How often you hit it
For anything that does not belong in a public issue: a copyright notice, a security report, or a question about how the relay handles your data.
- Best for sensitive detail
- Replies are manual, expect a few days
- No account needed
Before you send it
A few checks solve most reports before they are filed:
- Reload the page and retry once. Queue state survives a refresh, so nothing is lost.
- If one video fails, try a second one. A single broken URL is usually a video-level restriction, not a bug in YDL.
- If a download stalls at the end, check whether the tab was in the background - browsers throttle hidden tabs.
- If YouTube asks you to sign in, the rate limit is on their side. Settings has the cookie option and the connection count.
- Clear the site data and try again if the queue looks corrupted. That also removes your settings.
YDL is maintained by one person in their spare time. There is no support contract, no SLA, and no telemetry - the only thing we know about your session is what you tell us.
