ytdl-patched VS mutagen

If you really want to build a native, macOS app (SwiftUI or otherwise), just take a look at youtube-dl. IINA, one of popular macOS video player out there, is using youtube-dl to directly stream Youtube video.

https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl - safest and best of all

yt-dlp, youtube and video dowloader (based from inactive youtube-dl)

WiiMC also supports FTP and Samba so you can just download them on your PC and use an FTP server. I've been using https://github.com/giampaolo/pyftpdlib . For downloading YouTube use https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl of course .

youtube-dl

If you want to download them, you can use the tool yt-dlp (an improved version of youtube-dl) to download the files from roosterteeth’s website. Despite the name, it’s a versatile tool that works for most public video hosting sites.

There are also hybrids which are a mix of both. For example, youtube-dl can be used as a command line program, but it's also designed to be convenient to use inside other python programs to make use of its functionalities.

I would recommend: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl

YouTube DL (not really a frontend, but it allows you to privately download youtube videos)

Try https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl or the fork https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp

Note for the confused (maybe just me?), this is not related to python-mutagen[0], the metadata library.

I actually originally wrote Resonance in entirely in python when I was first learning how to make gtk4 / libadwaita applications. This first version used the mutagen tagging library for importing tags, which was written for the quodlibet player. Eventually, through the course of developing Resonance, I ran into noticeable latency issues with a sizable enough library. This was due (I think maybe due to this?) to how gdk pixbuf loading worked within PyGObject. This was especially an issue with the main album grid flowbox. (Loading a ton of album covers made it super laggy)

At least https://github.com/quodlibet/mutagen/issues doesn't seem to have issues open related about Ogg that seem relevant.

If you do python, check this module out: https://github.com/quodlibet/mutagen

The python script will update the metadata and prepare it for plex using mutagen

not sure but see this thread https://github.com/quodlibet/mutagen/issues/327

It looks like mutagen is mapping version to TIT3.

It looks like Quod Libet, ExFalso (it's tag editor) and Mutagen its tagging library are the only ones that really do support actual multiple tags, both writing (Mutagen and ExFalso) and reading/playing/acting as a music library with Quod Libet…
