19
+ > **Requires an NVIDIA GPU with NVENC.** The H.265 transcode uses hardware
20
+ > `hevc_nvenc` and has no CPU-encode fallback — without an NVIDIA card the
21
+ > transcode path cannot run (download + audio-extract still work). macOS has no
22
+ > NVIDIA GPUs, so the transcode is Windows/Linux only.
23
+
24
+ FetchForge is a localhost web app that downloads YouTube videos and playlists
25
+ and transcodes them to H.265/HEVC using NVIDIA NVENC hardware encoding. Single
26
+ videos, full playlists with pipeline mode, and local-file conversion. Smart
27
+ auto-analysis picks CQ, maxrate, and preset from the source.
28
+
29
+ ## Install & launch
30
+
31
+ **With pip (recommended):**
32
+
33
+ ```
34
+ pip install fetchforge
35
+ fetchforge
36
+ ```
37
+
38
+ The browser opens automatically at `http://localhost:8765`. On Windows, if an
39
+ NVENC-capable ffmpeg isn't already present, FetchForge downloads one on first
40
+ run. On Linux, install ffmpeg from your package manager first
41
+ (`sudo dnf install ffmpeg` / `sudo apt install ffmpeg`) and make sure the NVIDIA
42
+ driver is loaded. macOS has no NVIDIA GPU, so the H.265 transcode can't run
43
+ there, but download and audio-extract still work and just need ffmpeg
44
+ (`brew install ffmpeg`).
45
+
46
+ **Output files land in the current directory** — run `fetchforge` from wherever
47
+ you want `downloads/` to appear.
48
+
49
+ **From source (clone):**
50
+
51
+ ```
52
+ git clone https://github.com/prekabreki/fetchforge
53
+ cd fetchforge
54
+ ./launch.sh # Windows: launch.bat
55
+ ```
56
+
57
+ > "Update yt-dlp" in the UI is a no-op for pip installs — update with
58
+ > `pip install -U fetchforge` (or `pip install -U "yt-dlp[default]"`).
59
+
60
+ ## Stack
61
+
62
+ - **Backend** — `fetchforge/server.py` (FastAPI + uvicorn, fully async)
63
+ - **Frontend** — `fetchforge/index.html` (single file, vanilla JS + SSE, no build step)
64
+ - **CLI entry point** — `fetchforge/cli.py`, exposed as the `fetchforge` console script (also runnable as `python -m fetchforge`)
65
+ - **Downloader** — `yt-dlp[default]`, a regular dependency (pulled in by pip, not bundled)
66
+ - **Encoder** — ffmpeg + `hevc_nvenc` (NVENC); auto-downloaded to a per-user cache on Windows, expected on `PATH` on Linux
67
+ - **Packaging** — `pyproject.toml`; `pip install fetchforge` for the package, `pip install -e .` for an editable clone
68
+ - **Launchers** — `launch.bat` (Windows) / `launch.sh` (Linux/macOS) for the clone workflow: create/reuse a venv, `pip install -e .`, open the browser, run `python -m fetchforge`
69
+
70
+ ## What's NOT in the repo (gitignored)
71
+
72
+ These are restored locally — they're either rebuildable, regenerable, or sensitive.
73
+
74
+ | Path | Why ignored |
75
+ |------|-------------|
76
+ | `_internal/` | Optional manual ffmpeg override for a source clone on Windows — pip installs auto-provision ffmpeg into `%LOCALAPPDATA%\FetchForge\ffmpeg` instead |
77
+ | `yt-dlp.exe` | Optional manual override; the normal path gets yt-dlp as a pip dependency, updated via `pip install -U`, not a dropped binary |
78
+ | `cookies.txt` | YouTube auth cookies (sensitive — never commit) |
79
+ | `history.json` | Last 50 downloaded URLs (per-machine state) |
80
+ | `logs/` | Runtime logs |
81
+ | `downloads/` | Output MP4s |
82
+
83
+ `cookies.txt`, `history.json`, `logs/`, and `downloads/` are runtime state and
84
+ live under the current working directory you launch `fetchforge` from.
85
+ `_internal/` and `yt-dlp.exe` are the two exceptions: they're optional manual
86
+ overrides FetchForge looks for next to the installed package itself, not the
87
+ cwd — the normal pip install path never needs them.
88
+
89
+ ## First-run setup on a new machine
90
+
91
+ 1. `pip install fetchforge`.
92
+ 2. Run `fetchforge`. On Windows it downloads an NVENC-capable ffmpeg build automatically the first time it's needed. On Linux, install `ffmpeg` from your package manager first and confirm the NVIDIA driver is loaded — FetchForge won't fetch a build for you there.
93
+ 3. (Optional) Upload a `cookies.txt` via the **Authentication** card if you need age-restricted, private, or members-only content — see [Cookies](#cookies) below for how to get one.
94
+
95
+ Working from a clone instead: run `./launch.sh` (or `launch.bat` on Windows) — it sets up a `.venv`, installs the package in editable mode, and starts the server the same way.
96
+
97
+ ## Cookies
98
+
99
+ Public videos need no cookies. Cookies are only necessary for age-restricted,
100
+ private, or members-only videos, which require a logged-in YouTube session.
101
+
102
+ To get a `cookies.txt`:
103
+
104
+ 1. Install a cookies-export browser extension — **Get cookies.txt LOCALLY**
105
+ for Chrome/Edge, or **cookies.txt** for Firefox.
106
+ 2. Log in to YouTube in that browser.
107
+ 3. Open the extension on a `youtube.com` tab and export in **Netscape**
108
+ format — that's your `cookies.txt`.
109
+ 4. Upload the file via the **Authentication** card in the FetchForge UI.
110
+
111
+ The file grants access to your YouTube account, so treat it as a secret: it's
112
+ gitignored and stays on your machine — don't share or commit it. Re-export it
113
+ if it stops working; YouTube rotates cookies periodically.
114
+
115
+ ## Features
116
+
117
+ - **Sequential or pipelined playlist processing** — pipeline mode runs download and encode concurrently with a `maxsize=1` queue (downloader stays at most one video ahead of the encoder)
118
+ - **Smart pre-download skip** — checks for existing `<title>_h265.mp4` before downloading, skips if ≥85% of expected size
119
+ - **Two encode tunes** — `uhq` (Smart Auto, archival quality) and `hq` (NLE-friendly, ~4–6× speed, capped at source bitrate)
120
+ - **HDR / 10-bit passthrough** — auto-detected; outputs `yuv420p10le` + `main10`
121
+ - **Wake-lock during jobs** — ref-counted; Windows `SetThreadExecutionState` re-asserted every 30s, Linux holds a `systemd-inhibit` process
122
+ - **Post-job shutdown** — UI countdown with cancel button; `shutdown /s /t 0` (Windows) / `systemctl poweroff` (Linux) if not cancelled
123
+ - **Local conversion mode** — point at files or folders, batch-encode without downloading
124
+
125
+ ## Repository conventions
126
+
127
+ - **Issue tracking**: GitHub Issues. Run `python tools/issue-ready.py` for available work (open issues, dependencies satisfied), or `gh issue list`.
128
+ - **Personal-use only** — no auth, no multi-user, no cloud deploy.
129
+ - **Per-user runtime state is gitignored** (see table above) and preserved locally, never pushed.
130
+
131
+ See `CLAUDE.md` for full architecture: endpoint table, SSE event types, encode parameter logic, and the Python <3.12 f-string gotcha that bit this codebase.
