#The main advantage over this script instead of the popular one: https://www.grepper.com/answers/613128/Youtube+downloader?ucard=1
#Is that it will download any video at the maximum resolution it provides.
#Whereas the popular one downloads videos at a max of 720p (1280*720 pixels) 

#Required (non-default) modules
#pip install pytube, moviepy

import os
from re import sub
from shutil import rmtree
from pytube import YouTube
from enum import Enum
from moviepy.editor import VideoFileClip, AudioFileClip
from ctypes import windll

YT = YouTube("""
https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ
""")

EXTENSION = ".mp4"
TEMP_PATH = "Temp/"
EXPORTS_PATH = "Exports/"

def mkdir_not_exists(path): os.mkdir(path) if not os.path.exists(path) else None

mkdir_not_exists(TEMP_PATH)
windll.kernel32.SetFileAttributesW(TEMP_PATH, 0x2)
mkdir_not_exists(EXPORTS_PATH)

#If you want it clean you could use TITLE = fr"{sub(r'[^\w\s]', '', YT.title)}{EXTENSION}",
TITLE = sub(r'[^\w\s]', '', YT.title) + EXTENSION 
TEMP_TITLE = f"{TEMP_PATH}{TITLE}"
#but that only works in Python 3.12, which is in pre-release.

if os.path.exists(f"{EXPORTS_PATH}{TITLE}"): os.remove(f"{EXPORTS_PATH}{TITLE}")

class Type(Enum):
    VIDEO = f"{TEMP_PATH}video{EXTENSION}"
    AUDIO = f"{TEMP_PATH}audio{EXTENSION}"
    
for type in Type: YT.streams.filter(only_video = type.value == Type.VIDEO.value, only_audio = type.value == Type.AUDIO.value).first().download(filename=type.value)

VideoFileClip(Type.VIDEO.value).set_audio(AudioFileClip(Type.AUDIO.value)).write_videofile(f"{EXPORTS_PATH}{TITLE}", temp_audiofile=TEMP_TITLE)

rmtree(TEMP_PATH)

#At this time there's no way to easily change the resolution it downloads.
#If you really need a specific resolution, you can alter the code to do so.

#I will eventually also just make an executable with interface for this,
#but I don't know when I've the time to do so.

#Any issues can be submitted on my GitHub page:
