TODO:

• Allow pause/resume functionality
• integrate save state
• integrate post processing options
• integrate batch add feature
• integrate Queue to make it stable
• Change for PyInstaller: setup.py - see Windows
• Fix Convert (main:MainWindow.convert_file)

Windows:

Run the setup.py file like this:

python setup.py pyinstaller

This will result in a dist and build directory. Simply go to the dist directory and you will get a youtube-dl-gui.exe file and some other files. That youtube-dl-gui.exe file is a standalone executable which can be run simply by double clicking it. You can distribute that file to your friend.
