• Error dialogs on failure, and logs written to .log in the project root

Logs & Troubleshooting

• A .log file is created (overwritten on each start) in the project root
• When a download fails, an error dialog shows details; check .log as well
• Common issues:
  • Cannot merge video/audio: make sure FFmpeg is installed and available in your PATH
  • Some sites fail: the site may have changed; try updating you-get
  • Proxy not working: verify proxy type, host, and login fields

Known Status (Early)

• This project is in early beta
• The current flow is mainly single-task downloading
• Some reserved settings pages (theme, batch download, notifications, etc.) are not fully enabled yet
