yt-dlp-gui VS ytdl-patched

Just to be clear, I don't know ANYTHING AT ALL about computer and coding. I just want to know if this fork is safe to use: https://github.com/dsymbol/yt-dlp-gui I tested it on another computer and it seems to work fine, but I'm not sure if it can have strange behaviors or anything.

Yt-dlp (Stacher, yt-dlp gui)

Step Two, navigate to dsymbol/yt-dlp-gui: A cross-platform GUI wrapper for yt-dlp written in PySide6 (github.com) then navigate to the releases tab

I would suggest YT-DLP. The product itself can be found here: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp That is terminal based. There is a nice GUI application that can be found here: https://github.com/dsymbol/yt-dlp-gui Open source. No malware or any suspicious activity. Does what you need it to do and nothing more.

Or, if command line interfaces scare you, here's a gui written for it. It's not pretty, but it's something

Switch to using yt-dlp then install the GUI if you prefer an interface.

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":

Once downloaded, the video files can be played anywhere, on any device.

If yt-dlp works, you can also use Celluloid to watch videos from Youtube — choose Open Location and enter the YouTube video or playlist page.

I'd recommend you to have a look at yt-dlp [0] and NewPipe extractor [1]

Couldn't you just use the subtitles from youtube directly?

Or are these worse than whisper?

yt-dlp or one of its many GUI frontends.

Give yt-dlp a try: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp

The only ads are the ones the creators insert into the videos themselves.

youtube-dl is broken now and barely updated for some byzantine reasons, no?

yt-dlp is supposed to be the new hotness, though I've yet to try it. https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/
