PowerTube VS youtubedl-android

There are also other ones like Powertube, Seal, Tubemate, SpotiFlyer(for music). Use whichever one you like.

To download videos you need a 3rd party downloader app installed on your device, such as PowerTube, Seal, or NewPipe. Powertube is the daefault one, so you can just install the apk file from here and then downloads should work.

For downloads to work https://github.com/razar-dev/PowerTube/raw/master/update/apk/PowerTube_release_4.4.6.apk

powertube is a blessing. cant remember where i got it from (possibly someone recomended it here) but i found this link of the github page. downloads youtube videos and videos on a bunch of other sites (yes, even nsfw sites)

PowerTube: https://github.com/razar-dev/PowerTube

1.If you enabled download music patch or whatever it's called and when you press the custom download it says "org.shibabi.newpipe is not installed please install it" Click on you're channel icon click settings then scroll down until you see "Revanced settings" then click on "interactions" then "download settings" and click on "downloader package name" then replace it to "ussr.razar.youtube_dl" and click on "ok" and then install this: https://github.com/razar-dev/PowerTube And download it.. and Ur done! When u click the custom download Icon it will download it and stor your downloads in the powertube app (or in storage in the powertube folder" where u can watch them...

You have to download and install the PowerTube app: https://github.com/razar-dev/PowerTube/releases/tag/5.0.3

PowerTube has AV1 codec support link to powertube

For me, the less-complicated client called "DVD" is more reliable for downloading than the client called "Newpipe"; the later stops working intermittently. YMMV.

(Neither are as reliable as using own custom command line programs on desktop, or mobile via Termux. If Google makes a change I can fix/workaround immediately. No waiting for app developers.)

For me, Newpipe works well as a Soundlcoud client.

From the Kotlin source for "dvd":

Video downloader app powered by yt-dlp (formerly youtube-dl).

Features

Download video/audio from 1000+ sites supported by yt-dlp.

Run custom yt-dlp commands.

Update yt-dlp version from settings.

Share link via other apps.

I am trying to import the library youtubedl-android into my custom music app project but no matter what I do it does not work. I previously created a Xamarin app in C# but I am new to Kotlin and Android Studio. I followed the instructions on the github page to add the library to my almost blank jetpack compose project, and Gradle built with no issues but the library never shows up in Kotlin. I tried putting the library declarations in different places, using the dependency manager, and trying a blank XML project but nothing works. It always either says it can't find method implementation or can't resolve or just doesn't show up in Kotlin. Please help me I have tried everything I can think of.

You can download videos or gifs from websites like Youtube, Reddit with a link. Github release page:https://github.com/yausername/youtubedl-android/releases

dvd and seal uses same yt-dlp backend while dvd is no more maintained.

I have never try download video with Boost. You can copy the post link and download via https://redditsave.com/ or install this app to download any video on your device, https://github.com/yausername/youtubedl-android/releases

I think it could better implementing the download feature using this library for Android: https://github.com/yausername/youtubedl-android. It is a wrapper library for a well known CLI program called yt-dlp.

what about this: https://github.com/yausername/youtubedl-android
