## Overview

DownTube is a powerful YouTube downloader with a web interface built with FastAPI. It downloads both **video** and **subtitles** using an Invidious-first strategy that works from cloud servers without cookies.

### Download Strategy (v2.0)

1. **Invidious** (primary): Gets video info + download URLs from Invidious instances (works from cloud IPs!)
2. **FFmpeg merge**: Downloads video+audio separately from Invidious for high quality, then merges
3. **yt-dlp** (fallback): Uses `tv_embedded` client if Invidious fails
4. **Dynamic instance discovery**: Automatically finds working Invidious instances from official API
