How tzahi12345/youtubedl-material works

YoutubeDL-Material is a browser-based YouTube/video downloader and media manager: users submit a URL, the server runs a download, and users manage or retrieve the resulting files. The Angular frontend also exposes subscriptions, scheduled tasks, archives, playlists, Twitch chat, authentication, settings, and notifications. The backend is organized around an Express API, feature services, and a database abstraction. Edges reflect the shown excerpts, SOURCE INDEX references, or README; links whose runtime wiring is not shown are omitted or marked unverified.
