            Bug ID: 392107
           Summary: KGet should be able to download Youtube videos using a
                    Youtube-dl plugin
           Product: kget
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Neon Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kget at kde.org
          Reporter: dequire at mykolab.com

  Target Milestone: ---

One of the biggest use cases for downloading files is to download Youtube
videos. KGet should be able to do this to remain relevant and used often by our
users. It could achieve this by either adding youtube-dl as a dependency and
using it as the download 'engine' to do this, or by adding the functionality
itself. 

The former would be easier, as it more or less is just adding a GUI to select
any relevant options. The latter removes the dependency. But either way, this
functionality needs to be there for our users in 2018, as it is one of the
biggest use cases for anyone downloading larger files.
