ROSI

Download media with ROSI

Paste a URL, choose a profile, and save a video or audio file with ROSI.

Outcome

Use this workflow to turn a supported media URL into a local video or audio file.

Before you start

Install a current ROSI 5 release. Official packages include FFmpeg. Outside the Flatpak build, install Deno when prompted for full YouTube support. Have a URL that yt-dlp supports, and make sure the output folder is writable.

Steps

  1. Open ROSI and paste a media URL into the input area.
  2. Review the preview and select a download profile. Use Best video for a video file, Audio-only for audio, or a custom profile for your own format and quality choices.
  3. Choose the output folder and filename options.
  4. Add the item to the queue, then start the download.
  5. Open the completed item from the queue or use the output folder to verify the file.

Expected result

The queue shows progress and a completed state. The output file appears in the folder you selected and uses the format and quality from the profile.

If the download fails

Check the URL and the output folder first. If the site requires sign-in or age verification, follow Fix cookie downloads. For a general symptom checklist, see ROSI Troubleshooting.
