Yt-Dlp Commands: The Complete Tutorial for Beginners
```
Hopefully that saves someone some extra googling.
For more hardcore automated archival, I do this on linux (which doesn't have the character length issues) and I'd recommend looking at the following for inspiration
- https://github.com/TheFrenchGhosty/TheFrenchGhostys-Ultimate... (Supports sponsorblock, and it turns out truly finding the best quality is pretty complex)
- https://github.com/dmn001/youtube_channel_archiver (A .conf file is very nice to use.)
- https://github.com/dbeley/youtube-archiver (how to set up a systemd service)

Format code for browser playback compatibility
I am trying to play some videos downloaded with yt-dlp on my local web server. However, because of the codecs my current format code chooses when downloading I have noticed a number of videos will not play within in a web browser. My current format code is based on TheFrenchGhosty's youtube-dl script collection which chooses codecs for quality at the cost of compatibility.

Noobie needs help making a config file for yt-dlp
Note that this option is somewhat broken. At least it was for years. For this reason, there are extra scripts that try to grab the actual best video + audio like https://github.com/TheFrenchGhosty/TheFrenchGhostys-Ultimate-YouTube-DL-Scripts-Collection
- Best ~16TB drives for a storage server?

Youtube-dl Hosting Ban Paves the Way to Privatized Censorship
If you want to do complicated bullshit, like setting up automated downloading of channels for archiving, then I recommend this: https://github.com/TheFrenchGhosty/TheFrenchGhostys-Ultimate-YouTube-DL-Scripts-Collection : Initially might seem confusing, this is a good set of scripts for looking at how yt-dlp is "supposed" to be set up script-wise. Good for manually messing with things and setting up a cron job to run. These scripts will assist in downloading more than just the video, like thumbnails and metadata, and comments.
- I am genuinely terrified of the Internet Archive closing down.

Stop using youtube-dl and use yt-dlp instead.
yt-dlp also scripts SO nicely. Take a look at this.

What is your yt-dlp download sorting method?
Preps everything for kodi, including metadata, sensible folder structures etc. https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub

Archived YouTube Video Finder
I recently found ytdl-sub which is basically a metadata wrapper around yt-dlp to help you save videos in a format library software like Plex etc supports. Rather than having some horribly named videos with metadata files just taking up space.

[Release] My collection of yt-dlp archival scripts with sensible defaults. The configuration files offer explanations as to why certain options are used and also let you easily comment/uncomment lines as desired to suit your setup and preferences.
I don't mean to take the limelight away from this, was probably a ton of work. I used to have a similar bash setup at one point, then later created this tool to standardize yt-dlp archiving: https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub

We need a community archiving effort for YouTube channels. What's most crucial to protect and how do we get organised?
I'm biased because I'm the author, but I think ytdl-sub could shine here: https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub

GUI automatic youtube downloader for Plex.
I use the ytdl-sub project and it does a great job preserving the metadata and putting it in a format Plex can use without a lot of fuss. Maybe see about integrating with that instead of roll-your-own? A GUI is nice but I just have this set to run on a cron a couple times a day, set and forget.
