## About this fork
This is a fork of [github.com/Samive/yt-dlp-web](https://github.com/Samive/yt-dlp-web). It changes the upstream video downloader into a focused music downloader. The differences from upstream:
- **Music only** — every download is extracted to 320K MP3 with metadata and an embedded thumbnail. The format selector is gone; there is nothing to choose.
- **French interface** — the whole UI and its messages are in French.
- **Light and dark mode** — a theme toggle in the header, defaulting to your operating system preference.
- **Auto-updating yt-dlp** — the latest yt-dlp is pulled on container startup, so downloads keep working as sites change.
