yt-dlc VS yt-dlc

but there's a fork of dlc that's active... https://github.com/pukkandan/yt-dlc

My fork has an overhaul of format selection allowing the user to specify how the formats must be sorted

I have just added this feature to [my fork](https://github.com/pukkandan/yt-dlc/). You can use `duration_string` in the output template

Just want to add that I am now providing releases

I would like to get these features in my fork (or get my features merged into yours)

(Installation instructions are included in the documentation provided by both forks)

I) https://github.com/blackjack4494/yt-dlc

youtube-dlc is a fork of youtube-dl with the intention of getting features tested by the community merged in the tool faster

We love yt-dlp which is a youtube-dl fork based on the now inactive youtube-dlc. The main focus of the project is adding new features and patches while also keeping up to date with the original project.

yt-dlc

Not who you responded to, but I use youtube-dlc. It's a command-line based utility with a ton of options for downloading YouTube videos.

While the July update dealt with the updater, having 2 days of small changes since December is not very active.
