youtube-dl VS gogrepoc

For me, the less-complicated client called "DVD" is more reliable for downloading than the client called "Newpipe"; the later stops working intermittently. YMMV.

(Neither are as reliable as using own custom command line programs on desktop, or mobile via Termux. If Google makes a change I can fix/workaround immediately. No waiting for app developers.)

For me, Newpipe works well as a Soundlcoud client.

From the Kotlin source for "dvd":

Video downloader app powered by yt-dlp (formerly youtube-dl).

Features

Download video/audio from 1000+ sites supported by yt-dlp.

Run custom yt-dlp commands.

Update yt-dlp version from settings.

Share link via other apps.

Yep. yt-dlp and youtube-dl

Will also start to feel the impact. My theory is that we will see a bunch of new video hosting sites as youtube itself attempts to lock down its ecosystem. They haven't paid attention in any adversarial way as far as I can tell.

When they do, it wont be great.

Youtube-dl still functions quite well. You can even grab the CLI here: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl

And occasionally you can find one of their TLDs just by doing a search on DDG or Brave.

If you don't want to switch to yt-dlp, then wait for a fix in the code of youtube-dl and then download a version from Unofficial daily builds.

I'm using fingerprints built from different versions of the song, including the original and remastered versions you can find on the Discord and the "pitch corrected" version you can grab from YouTube. I'm chopping each fingerprint into 100 sample chunks and searching each YouTube video (audio only, using youtube-dl) for them. Checking for the fingerprint is the fastest part of the process, so trying many against each download isn't a problem. I've confirmed it's possible to detect TMS in videos about TMS (eg. Whang, CW Schultz) where less than the full song is played.

It's getting the point where I wont use YT unless I'm using https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl

I downloaded the video from YouTube using youtube-dl.

Two projects I greatly appreciate, allowing me to easily archive my bandcamp and GOG purchases (after the initial setup anyways):

https://github.com/easlice/bandcamp-downloader

https://github.com/Kalanyr/gogrepoc

And I recently learned about archivebox, which I think is going to be a fast favorite and finally let me clear out my mess of tabs/bookmarks: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox

I should really write up a full Linux and windows setup guide and submit it.

Likewise, people who use bandcamp are likely to use GOG, which also has purchase archiving tools available on GitHub. I’ve used https://github.com/Kalanyr/gogrepoc for a long time, but there are actually multiple projects now.

Tools like https://github.com/Kalanyr/gogrepoc use these blue dots to know which games are updated, without having to do an intensive and long full scan of you library.

See above that's what I used and it works perfectly and its gogrepoc the other one is vastly out of date. Don't use the one you linked too.

I download my GoG games & extras directly to my RAID 1 NAS using gogrepoc.

Personally I use a app called gogrepoc.py It creates a manifest based off of your account and allows you to generate a current log of games. And you can update those in the future so it spins through your entire list and will mark changes. Unfortunately it takes a while if your catalog is huge but it's a great way to keep everything up to date.

I use https://github.com/Kalanyr/gogrepoc

For windows, I found: https://github.com/Kalanyr/gogrepoc Didn't test that one tho.

Yes, there is. I use a program called gogrepo to automate the process of downloading games like this. I think there are a couple other similar projects out there (definitely a couple forks of gogrepo), but this one suits me.

Oy you're outdated then it's Gogrepoc now and it has many more features including a trash mode instead of keeping the old stuff ;)
