What is MusiGui?

Pronounced myou-zi-goo-ee. It is a GUI wrapper around the legendary youtube-dl and AI upscalers: RealSR; Waifu2x; and SRMD.

Image scaling can be disabled by selecting Downscale method as None.

The windows freezes during a download, this application is only single-threaded. If your OS says it's "not responding" you probably just need to wait for the download to finish.

If you ever get stuck or need help; press the handy-dandy help button in the program! There are also some tooltips (hover for 1 second).

Dependencies

Required

Dependencies tkinter, json, ctypes, os, time, and subprocess are included in the python standard library.

You can easily install youtube_dl, eyed3 and cv2 using pip.

pip install youtube-dl

pip install eyed3

pip install opencv-python

Windows users may have to add py -m to the beginning of each command:

py -m pip install youtube-dl

py -m pip install eyed3

py -m pip install opencv-python

youtube-dl requires ffmpeg, follow this guide to install it if you haven't already.

Optional

I would also reccommend downloading mp3tag it is really handy for correcting any mistakes the program makes.

Setup

First use

• Pick a download folder, this is the working directory for this application, it should be seperate from anything else.
• Pick an upscaler folder, make sure to download at least one of the supported models and place it in this directory. Its subfolder should be named "<model>-ncnn-vulkan".

Typical use

• launch using run.bat (it invokes the GUI by running py gui.py)
• Add URLs to the text box in the bottom left, they are seperated with a newline (<enter>). The URLs can point to single streams or playlists/albums (whole playlists will be downloaded). The URLs can be from any website (e.g. youtube, soundcloud, bandcamp...) so long as it is supported by youtube-dl.
• Once you've added all the URLs you want, hit the download button in the bottom right to download the files one-by-one. The program will also download the cover art for each item.
• Cover art will be upscaled by the selected AI model if it is smaller than the target image size.

Supported AI models

Be sure to download at least one of these and put it in a folder that the GUI can access.
