yt-dlp VS MeTube

On Win10, I download the .exe from the latest release here: https://github.com/ytdl-patched/yt-dlp/releases/tag/2023.03.03.19419

For those who still have this issue and are on Windows and need a fix right now just go and download the "yt-dlp.exe" from here: https://github.com/ytdl-patched/yt-dlp/releases/tag/2023.03.01.19419

The issue is already fixed in the code so if you compile from the code your issue will be fixed. Personally though I just downloaded the daily build and that seemed to fix the issue https://github.com/ytdl-patched/yt-dlp

Temporarily, you could also install the unofficial daily build of yt-dlp from here.

Get the latest unofficial build from here. 🙂

It seems Youtube did change something internally so the old yt-dlp exe file (which the Cinema mode uses) no longer works. Found a fix: Go here to download the latest yt-dlp exe file: https://github.com/ytdl-patched/yt-dlp/releases/tag/2023.02.17.334. Then go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Beat Saber\Libs on your PC and replace the old yt-dlp.exe file with the new one you just downloaded. And it should fix Cinema mod. I just tried and it works for me now!

So, if you want this fix "as an .exe", just download the unofficial daily build from here, or compile yourself.

Have you tried the latest daily release? https://github.com/ytdl-patched/yt-dlp/releases I had problems with throttling too, but switching to the daily release fixed it for me, you get the most recent fixes, but it might be not as stable, the original yt-dlp was updated a month ago

Until the next update of yt-dlp, you could try with the unofficial daily build, made by @Lesmiscore: https://github.com/ytdl-patched/yt-dlp.

Obligatory reference to https://github.com/alexta69/metube which allows you to front yt-dlp with a webpage.

Already posted here how I have it as part of my stack: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37113339

I selfhost https://github.com/alexta69/metube

I have it sitting on a URL and I have an iOS share shortcut to throw any URL at it and it downloads the video.

Copy-paste from my ansible setup if you're interested, shouldn't be that hard to convert to docker-compose.

    - name: Build metube options separately, avoids inline JSON in metube setup

Anyone want a metube plugin for swizzin? It's a youtube downloader I integrated in to swizzin. If there is interest I'll finish the installer/uninstaller. It works on docker as per the official github at https://github.com/alexta69/metube but it integrates itself in swizzin and monitors the docker container for the heartbeat. Uninstall works too.

I'm basically looking for https://github.com/stashapp/stash + https://github.com/alexta69/metube - basically you copy paste a pornhub link; it downloads a local copy and tags it away with everything from the original site.

Was quite surprised how little it uses. I also set up a samba share to easily manage to space via Ubuntu. For plex's data store /media location. https://youtu.be/675p5fuEQa4 (this is a bit of a pain in the arse but it does work) Also a fun one is metube https://github.com/alexta69/metube I set it to MP4 and best , honestly it's so easy wack a link in give it a few watch yt in bed via plex without adverts.

I am trying to set up metube in a Docker container using Portainer. Specifically, I'm creating a new Stack in Portainer and copy/pasting in the Compose file from the GitHub page. First, like a noob, I left the volumes as /path/to/downloads and it indeed created a folder like that on the main drive of my Ubuntu server which runs Docker. I then changed it to my user's home with /downloads at the end. All that works fine.

I run this https://github.com/alexta69/metube Which is basically YT dl which is good cause u don't get ads. Then play via plex

I am adding a YouTube Playlist to MeTube and it downloads the videos as I want. But the "Downloading" list is sorted, so that the currently downloading song is at the bottom of the list. I'd love to add a playlist and at the top, on page load, see, what's currently downloading. Does anybody know, if this is possible? Sorting the playlist, so that the currently downloading is at the top.
