How youtue-dl-gui works ??

[Connor-yang96]

I found that many users were confused. After spending some time debugging, I decided to write a simple feasible process.

For Portable version with Win

1. Download latest youtube-dl-gui Portable version
2. Download latest yt-dlp.exe
3. Download latest ffmpeg,ffplay,ffprobe
4. Put all exe files into renamed folder"Youtube-dlp"
5. Open once Open-Video-Downloader-x.x.0-portable.exe, and close it. Then it will auto create "open-video-downloader" folder.
6. Move yt-dlp.exe，ffmpeg,ffplay,ffprobe into "open-video-downloader" folder.
7. Open Open-Video-Downloader-x.x.0-portable.exe.
8. Past youtube playlist url and download it.

without binary and unhandled error.
Delete "Download" folder with "ffmpeg.exe" file ,the size is 0 KB.
