Media Downloader

Self-hosted downloader for video and audio links with a web UI, Rust backend, and yt-dlp pipeline.

What It Does

Media Downloader accepts a supported media URL, extracts available formats, and prepares a downloadable file.

Current web flow:

1. Paste a URL into the landing page.
2. Click Скачать to extract metadata and formats.
3. Review the media card and choose video or audio mode.
4. Click Подготовить файл.
5. Use the generated Скачать файл button.

The frontend no longer auto-opens the prepared file in a new tab. Download is now an explicit user action.
