ROSI is an Electron GUI for yt-dlp
- Rosi includes the official YT-DLP binary which on its own uses the [unlicense] license, however there are bundled third party packages. Read THIRD‑PARTY‑NOTICES for more.
- Please make sure to also read the license for the source of this project (excluding third part binaries and packages).
Official ROSI builds bundle FFmpeg per platform and architecture.
When building from source, you must place FFmpeg binaries in resources/ffmpeg/<platform>/<arch>/
before packaging. See resources/ffmpeg/README.md for the required
layout.
You can optionally set a custom FFmpeg path in Settings to override the bundled binary.
ℹ️ The Microsoft Store version of ROSI is now integrated into the main codebase. Its customizations are run via electron-builder when specifying to release for the ms store.

There is an LTS version of the previous stable full release of ROSI (which is now v3.x.x) which can be found at ➡️ROSI-LTS's Repo
This is mainly for people who perfered the previous look of ROSI, or has a current issue with a newly released major version.
The LTS version only provides yt-dlp updates and minor bug fixes. No feature additions will happen with LTS versions. Whatever features were added to that version before it became LTS are the last features it will receive.
