I am currently working on my own YouTube-DL GTK GUI in Python. I would like to display the download progress by reading it out of the YouTube-DL progress hook. if I do this as below, it will only be displayed as 100% at the end of the download.
Why doesn't it update during the download?
def my_hook(d):
if d['status'] == 'downloading':
self.label.set_text("Fortschritt:"+d['_percent_str']+"Verbleibende Zeit:"+d['_eta_str'])
ydl_opts = {
'format': (Art),
'outtmpl': (Out),
'noplaylist': (self.playlist),
'extract-audio': (audio),
'progress_hooks': [my_hook],
}
with youtube_dl.YoutubeDL(ydl_opts) as ydl:
ydl.download([URL])
Are you sure you are using threads to download? In my own tk program, this works completely fine and updates as I expect it would, but that may be a possible solution.
