How this project is maintained

About 3% of issues opened in the past year have never received a reply. 100% of open issues come from outside the core team, so the backlog reflects real-world use rather than internal planning. 82% of tracked open issues have had no activity in three months, so the open count overstates what is actively being worked. Only 29% of issues opened in the past year have been closed. Three people close 61% of everything that gets resolved.

Detailed Description

YouTube Playlist Downloader is a desktop application that downloads YouTube playlists, channels, and individual videos with optional format conversion.

The tool addresses the need to archive YouTube content in bulk. It works by accepting YouTube URLs and downloading the associated media files, then optionally converting them to alternative formats. The application provides a graphical interface built with WPF and MahApps.Metro, making the download and conversion process accessible without command-line interaction.

The tool suits users who want to preserve YouTube content locally, whether entire playlists, full channels, or specific videos. It is particularly useful for those who need the downloaded files in formats other than the original, as the conversion capability covers a broad range of output formats. The project is written in C# and targets Windows environments through its WPF-based interface.

Development activity shows consistent engagement with the codebase. The project receives regular commits addressing bug fixes and feature improvements. Pull requests are reviewed and merged, indicating active maintenance. Issue reports are acknowledged and worked on, demonstrating responsiveness to user feedback.
