What is youtube-dlp?
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.

Let’s talk about youtube-dl
I’ve been looking into both youtube-dlc (or is it yt-dlc?) and youtube-dlp. Dlc looks to be a fork of dl, and dlp a fork of dlc (dl -> dlc -> dlp)

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.

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.
