dvd VS youtubedl-android

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.

Check out an app called DVD. It uses yt-dlp (which it downloads and updates for you).

On android I use this app works great

For Android I use DVD

Along with Termux, as others mentioned, there are also apps that use yt-dlp like Seal and dvd, but dvd looks like it uses youtubedl instead. This way you don't need to mess with commands and just share the link to the app.

A great alternative to this app would be dvd it supports 1000+ sites ( https://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html ). check it out

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.

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

Here is link number 1 - Previous text "one"

What best comes to my mind would be some sort of youtube-dl variation for Android, I found this one on GitHub, it'd be better if you could run it from a computer, but I found some GitHub repositories with Android implementation.
