SUMMARY
Feature request: Automatically recognize and download YouTube videos in KGet,
similar to IDM (Internet Download Manager)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open KGet download manager.
2. Attempt to download a YouTube video by browsing or playing it in a browser.
3. Observe if KGet automatically detects the video URL or offers download
options.

OBSERVED RESULT
KGet currently does not automatically detect YouTube videos or provide direct
download options from browsers.

EXPECTED RESULT
KGet should automatically recognize YouTube video URLs from browsers or
clipboard and offer easy download options, similar to IDM’s browser
integration.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Yes  
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.5  
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.14.0  
Qt Version: 6.9.1  

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Integrating YouTube video detection (possibly using yt-dlp or similar backend)
would significantly enhance KGet's functionality for multimedia downloads.
