yt-dlp-gui VS yt-dlp

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.

On Win10, I download the .exe from the latest release here: https://github.com/ytdl-patched/yt-dlp/releases/tag/2023.03.03.19419

For those who still have this issue and are on Windows and need a fix right now just go and download the "yt-dlp.exe" from here: https://github.com/ytdl-patched/yt-dlp/releases/tag/2023.03.01.19419

The issue is already fixed in the code so if you compile from the code your issue will be fixed. Personally though I just downloaded the daily build and that seemed to fix the issue https://github.com/ytdl-patched/yt-dlp

Temporarily, you could also install the unofficial daily build of yt-dlp from here.

Get the latest unofficial build from here. 🙂

It seems Youtube did change something internally so the old yt-dlp exe file (which the Cinema mode uses) no longer works. Found a fix: Go here to download the latest yt-dlp exe file: https://github.com/ytdl-patched/yt-dlp/releases/tag/2023.02.17.334. Then go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Beat Saber\Libs on your PC and replace the old yt-dlp.exe file with the new one you just downloaded. And it should fix Cinema mod. I just tried and it works for me now!

So, if you want this fix "as an .exe", just download the unofficial daily build from here, or compile yourself.

Have you tried the latest daily release? https://github.com/ytdl-patched/yt-dlp/releases I had problems with throttling too, but switching to the daily release fixed it for me, you get the most recent fixes, but it might be not as stable, the original yt-dlp was updated a month ago

Until the next update of yt-dlp, you could try with the unofficial daily build, made by @Lesmiscore: https://github.com/ytdl-patched/yt-dlp.
