Description Suresh S 2025-06-09 05:06:48 UTC 
SUMMARY
Feature request: Automatically recognize and download YouTube videos in KGet, similar to IDM (Internet Download Manager)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open KGet download manager.
2. Attempt to download a YouTube video by browsing or playing it in a browser.
3. Observe if KGet automatically detects the video URL or offers download options.

OBSERVED RESULT
KGet currently does not automatically detect YouTube videos or provide direct download options from browsers.

EXPECTED RESULT
KGet should automatically recognize YouTube video URLs from browsers or clipboard and offer easy download options, similar to IDM’s browser integration.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Yes  
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.5  
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.14.0  
Qt Version: 6.9.1  

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Integrating YouTube video detection (possibly using yt-dlp or similar backend) would significantly enhance KGet's functionality for multimedia downloads.
