Vidsnap Scraper 1.0.1

DISCLAIMER: Use at your own risk! Please read and understand Youtube's terms of service. I will not be held liable for any misuse of any product or service.

Overview:

This plugin makes use of the open source and unlicensed application yt-dlp (forked from youtube-dl) in conjunction with ffmpeg to download game videos.

It first downloads videos from the link provided in the metadata from LaunchBox, skipping videos longer than a specified duration, and then searches for videos for missing games based on input search terms.

It is intended for modern Windows games, as this was my need initially.

Requirements:

• Launchbox 13.19 or newer. (Use version 0.5.1 for older Launchbox installations)
• ytdlp (included in .zip)
• ffmpeg (included in .zip)

Installation Instructions:

• Extract the contents of the .zip folder and place it in your LaunchBox plugins folder.

Usage Instructions:

• Select a game or multiple games, right-click, and select "Download Video Snap."
• Select desired quality.
• Adjust the maximum duration if desired.
• The "Get Missing Videos" checkbox sets whether or not to search for videos of games that don't have URL's in their metadata.
• The "Trim videos" checkbox sets whether or not to trim videos after they have been downloaded.
• Enter desired search terms for missing videos.
• Click "Start" to start the download process.
• Games will download asynchronously. Resuming downloads is also supported natively.

PLEASE NOTE: I AM NOT A DEVELOPER! I know very little about C# and programming in general, so I probably won't be able to address many issues that you may face. That being said, I will try and fix things where I can. I've provided the spaghetti source code for anyone to modify, improve, etc. (it seems you need to unblock the forms in the "Resources" folder -> RMB->properties->unblock.) 

As of now, I'm more comfortable with the usability of the plugin; however, there are still probably many issues. Any comments to provide insight/improvement to the code, etc. would be much appreciated.

Thanks to @srxz for his source of Youtube Scraper, on which this is based.
