tartube VS youtube-dl

im using a program Tartube to download audio from youtube. My objective is to download the audio in required format and speed up the audio 1.5x using ffmpeg integrated into the program. what i have been doing till now is downloading the audio and speeding up separately using ffmpeg ffmpeg -i input.mp3 -af atempo=1.5 output.mp3 but the program can do this automatically for me. Where i am lacking is finding the correct arguments to fed into the program that will fetch the desired result. for eg i have tried ffmpeg -af atempo=1.5 etc but they are all inappropriate argument format for it. Can you help me by guiding what the correct format should be? here is the github question which hasnt been answered yet :link Thanks

Linux also offers complete suites for interacting with YT, like tartube.

Does anyone know where to find the FFmpeg options window in Tartube? I'm new to the program and can't seem to find it anywhere. I know that the window exists because of this old thread in the github https://github.com/axcore/tartube/issues/264. I'm trying to enable GPU encoding for post-processing with FFmpeg so that Tartube doesn't push my CPU usage to 100% every time I download a file.

In case you would like those crashes to get fixed, here's the bug report form for Tartube https://github.com/axcore/tartube/issues.

Just use yt-dlp, or if you prefer a GUI, Tartube (which is basically just a GUI for yt-dlp)

I see. According to the Web Archive, this website stopped working all the way in November 2023, and http://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/ now contains all the same content as the old one and is the new "official" website.

youtube-dl is still a thing, last commit was one week ago.

YouTube with youtube-dl [1] or NewPipe [2].

See elsewhere in the thread for details, but youtube-dl was restored by Github and is generally not considered to be in violation of the DMCA. You can see it on Github here: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl

A copyright holder abused the DMCA process to take it down the first time.

The best way is to download the source from github, run `make`, and copy the the file to $HOME/bin . There hasn't been a release for about a year now and the files on the distro repos are even older (I think).

Also YouTube has been doing some changes lately on the the player and a lot of the tools fail to download audio or video.

For example, in the last couple of weeks there have been some issues with a redirect to a 'consent page' : https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/32499
