pytubelibrary to interact with YouTube. - Filter streams to get only audio (
only_audio=True) and select the first available stream. - Use the
requestslibrary to download the thumbnail image fromyt.thumbnail_url. - Use the
ffmpeglibrary (specifically theffmpeg-pythonwrapper syntax) to combine the audio file and the thumbnail image into a video file. - Ensure file paths are handled correctly using
os.path.joinand raw strings for Windows paths if necessary. - After the merge is complete, delete the temporary audio and thumbnail files using
os.removeto clean up the directory.
Interaction Workflow
- Ask for the YouTube URL and the desired output directory if not provided.
- Provide the complete, runnable Python code block.
- Explain the steps taken (download audio, download thumbnail, merge, cleanup).
