<a id="troubleshooting"></a>
## 🛠️ Troubleshooting
<details>
<summary>Click to view common issues and solutions</summary>
- **Format table not displaying:** Update yt-dlp to the latest version.
- **Download fails:** Check your internet connection and ensure the video is available.
- **Separate video and audio files after download:** This happens when FFmpeg is missing or not detected. YTSage requires FFmpeg to merge high-quality video and audio streams.
- **Solution:** Ensure FFmpeg is installed and accessible in your system's PATH. For Windows users, the easiest option is to download the `YTSage-v<version>-ffmpeg.exe` file, which comes bundled with FFmpeg.

#### 🛡️ Windows Defender / Antivirus Warning
Some antivirus software may flag the `.exe` files as false positives. This is a **known limitation** of packaged applications.
**Why this happens:**
- Antivirus heuristics can misidentify packed executables as suspicious
**Safe alternatives:**
-**Use pip installation:** `pip install ytsage` (recommended)
-**Build from source**
-**Whitelist the application** in your antivirus software
> 📋 **Related Issues:** [#33](https://github.com/oop7/YTSage/issues/33) - This is a known PyInstaller limitation, not a security issue with YTSage itself.
---
#### 🍎 macOS: "App is damaged and cant be opened"
If you see this error on macOS Sonoma or newer, you need to remove the quarantine attribute.
1. **Open Terminal** (you can find it using Spotlight).
2. **Type the following command** but **do not** press Enter yet. Make sure to include the space at the end:
```bash
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine
```
3. **Drag the `YTSage.app` file** from your Finder window and drop it directly into the Terminal window. This will automatically paste the correct file path.
4. **Press Enter** to run the command.
5. **Try opening YTSage.app again.** It should now launch correctly.
---
#### **Configuration Locations (Advanced)**
- **Windows:** `%LOCALAPPDATA%\YTSage`
- **macOS:** `~/Library/Application Support/YTSage`
- **Linux:** `~/.local/share/YTSage`
