# Features
- Uses [SQLite3](https://www.sqlite.org/) for it's database (embedded into TessesFramework)
- Can download videos, playlists and channels (you need a channel url like this [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBa659QWEk1AI4Tg--mrJ2A](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBa659QWEk1AI4Tg--mrJ2A))
- Can subscribe to channels
- Can create playlists (that are stored on the server)
- Search and browse your downloaded videos, playlists, or channels (the search is very basic though)
- User accounts
- Videos can be tagged based on your downloader's TYTD tag (to determine which instance downloaded it)
- Plugins from [CPKG](https://cpkg.tesseslangauge.com/) or any CPKG compliant server
- Can download YouTube videos either Low quality (but doesn't) require [ffmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/), you can also download individual streams (also doesn't need [ffmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/)), or to MP4 (doesn't work on wii due to libx264 having illegal instruction), MKV (so no transcode), MP3 or FLAC (these do need [ffmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/) in your PATH however)
- Runs on the Wii using the [Wii Linux Continuation Project](https://wiibrew.org/wiki/Wii-Linux#Wii_Linux_Continuation_Project) (albeit extremely slowly, despite this that's where I run it)
