YouTube-dl has been taken down
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.

Spotify Will End Service in Uruguay Due to Bill Requiring Fair Pay for Artists

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

YouTube-dl fork with additional features and fixes
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.

Ask HN: What's the Situation with YouTube-Dl?
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
> yt-dlp uses youtube-dl as a core, so if something breaks still needs to go to the youtube-dl and fix it.
No, they don't. yt-dlp is a fork - if something break, they can just fix it in their own codebase without needing to go through yt-dl. yt-dl is still somewhat active, but almost all their commits are backports of fixes from yt-dlp[0].

YouTube-Dl Site Goes Offline as Hosting Provider Enforces Court-Ordered Ban
As noted in the article, the project still has a page on github:
http://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/
I've moved on to https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp anyways.
But this is still an infuriating move. youtube-dl wasn't doing anything infringing on its site, was it?
It's laughable how symbolic and ultimately meaningless this is. GitHub had already proven themselves to be a good actor in this particular fight, so not only is the repo online, but we also have http://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/
The Uberspace provider is appealing the decision as well. Even with the site down, this looks incredibly positive from where I sit.

6 hour long "The Entire History of Video Games" video demonetized by YouTube with no logical reason
People not comfortable with the command line might prefer the yt-dlg version, which has a GUI frontend for it. Also available straight from the Microsoft store since I know some people struggle to figure out GitHub.

Or for people still using yt-dl, there's an interface for that too.

Tool to download (or convert) MP3s from YouTube Music (not YouTube)
im sure there are websites that are just wrappers for yt-dlp but i think its better to just use it yourself, its not that hard. If you really want a gui theres seal on android and yt-dlg for linux/windows
- y2mate is done. Any other means to download Youtube videos?

Media Downloader 1.5.0
Well, the original youtube-dlg is abandoned so you must be talking about its fork known as yt-dlg.
-
Any forks of youtube-dl-gui that support using youtube-dlp?
media-downloader and tartube both work natively with yt-dlp. Most other GUIs including yt-dlg also technically support it as long as you manually replace their youtube-dl.exe with the yt-dlp executable
