{
    "saveLocation": "Set the directory where media files are saved.",
    "outputFilename": "Change the format of the output filename. You can find the full list of fields at [yt-dlp's README](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp#output-template)\n\n*you can drag and drop these blocks :D*",
    "browserConnector": "When enabled, ezytdl will allow the [ezytdl browser connector](https://github.com/sylviiu/ezytdl-browser-connector) extension to connect to the app. This is useful if you want to download media from websites that offer authwalled features, such as YouTube's \"Enhanced Bitrate\" feature",
    "proxy": "Set the proxy to use when downloading media.\n\n**NOTE:** This will only work if yt-dlp supports the proxy type you are using. You can find a list of supported proxy types at [yt-dlp's README](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/#network-options)",
    "ffmpegDownloading": "When enabled, ezytdl will download media using FFmpeg instead of yt-dlp, even when not converting any media.\n\nWhen downloading the best quality media, this will make the destination file's quality MUCH higher on certain platforms (e.g. YouTube), but please note that downloading with FFmpeg may end up being slower than downloading with yt-dlp, as it would likely be downloading multiple streams at once.\n\n**NOTE:** This option will have no effect if FFmpeg is not found on your system.\n\n**NOTE:** If any options are enabled here, FFmpeg will be utilized to download \"Full Quality\" media.",
    "ffmpegDownloadingExtended": {
        "whenConverting": "This will allow FFmpeg to stream the original source file from the internet, and convert it to the desired format. This is useful if you want to download a segment of a media file, or if you want to download a media file in a different format than the original source file.",
        "whenDownloading": "This will allow FFmpeg to download media from the internet. This may be marginally faster, since FFmpeg downloads the cached metadata for media and does not fetch metadata on each download"
    },
    "downloadFolders": "Save downloaded media to a folder based on the media's metadata. This is useful if you want to organize your media files.",
    "downloadFoldersExtended": {
        "website": "The domain of the website the media is from. (e.g., media from YouTube or YouTube Music saves in `youtube.com`)",
        "artist": "The name of the artist of the media. Will default to `Unknown Artist` when not found."
    },
    "downloadFromClipboard": "When enabled, ezytdl will automatically prompt you to download media from your clipboard when it detects a valid URL.",
    "checkForUpdates": "Each setting here controls what parts of ezytdl will have updates checked for. If you want to disable all auto update checking, disable all of these settings.",
    "updateCheckDaysInterval": "Set the amount of days between each update check. This is useful if you want to reduce the amount of times ezytdl checks for updates.",
    "animations": "Options related to animations in ezytdl.",
    "animationsExtended": {
        "reduceAnimations": "Remove some animations that may perform poorly on some systems.",
        "disableAnimations": "Disables all of the animations in the app (in a crude manner). This will not disable smaller things like progress bars, but is still useful if you want to reduce the amount of resources ezytdl uses, though reducing the animations should have a similar effect."
    },
    "theme": "Set the theme of ezytdl.\n\n**OPTIONS:**\n- `system`: Use your operating system's theme.\n- `light`: Use the light theme.\n- `dark`: Use the dark theme.",
    "font": "Set the font of ezytdl.\n\n**NOTE:** This will only work if the font is installed on your system.",

    "lastMediaConversionOutputsExtended": {
        "audio": "The audio format to convert to.",
        "video": "The video format to convert to."
    },
    "concurrentDownloads": "Set the maximum amount of yt-dlp downloads & FFmpeg conversions should be running at a time.",
    "staggeredDownloads": "When enabled, ezytdl will wait `150ms` in between starting downloads. This may fix certain network-related issues, as the app isn't downloading multiple links at once.",
    "hardwareAcceleratedConversion": "Allow ezytdl to use your system's hardware to convert videos. This is useful if you want to speed up the conversion process.",
    "ffmpegPresets": "Show / hide FFmpeg presets. This is useful if you want to reduce the amount of options ezytdl has.",
    "closeToTray": "Allow ezytdl to close to the system tray instead of exiting when the window is closed.",
    "autoLaunch": "When enabled, ezytdl will automatically launch when you log into your computer. This is useful if you want to use the browser connector extension without having to manually launch ezytdl each time you log in.",
    "logsEnabled": "Allows ezytdl to log information to the console. This is useful for debugging and/or bug reporting.",
    "defaultWindowControls": "If this is enabled, ezytdl will use your operating system's default window border & controls. This will only be applied on the next launch of ezytdl.",
    "nightlyUpdates": "When enabled, ezytdl will install dev updates when available. This is useful if you want to test new features before they are released -- but beware, these updates may be unstable!",
    "advanced": "When enabled, ezytdl will show more options when using the app. This is useful if you want to input direct command line arguments."
