ytdl-sub VS revanced-builder

Preps everything for kodi, including metadata, sensible folder structures etc. https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub

I recently found ytdl-sub which is basically a metadata wrapper around yt-dlp to help you save videos in a format library software like Plex etc supports. Rather than having some horribly named videos with metadata files just taking up space.

ytdl-sub

Use ytdl-sub for downloading YT channels/playlists/etc: https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub

I don't mean to take the limelight away from this, was probably a ton of work. I used to have a similar bash setup at one point, then later created this tool to standardize yt-dlp archiving: https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub

I'm biased because I'm the author, but I think ytdl-sub could shine here: https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub

I use the ytdl-sub project and it does a great job preserving the metadata and putting it in a format Plex can use without a lot of fuss. Maybe see about integrating with that instead of roll-your-own? A GUI is nice but I just have this set to run on a cron a couple times a day, set and forget.

You should give ytdl-sub a try - nearly 100% compatible with any yt-dlp arg and more: https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub

Revanced Builder used to be a great web builder for ReVanced but now it's dead. I want to move my keystore to the official builder (or any other) so I don't have to uninstall my apps, but whenever I import revanced.keystore from Revanced Builder to the official Revanced app on Android, any patch will fail.

I saw that the windows builder has been discontinued, so is there no way for ARM7 users with no alternative phone to install? I've tried googling it but everything is several months out of date. Trying to use the old installer on a whim seemed to kick up a lot of errors and produce non working apk files.

You should be able to use Revancify on your armv7 device, or you can try the ReVanced Builder on PC. The builder can be buggy though. There's also the CLI on PC, but it's a bit difficult for beginners and I don't know of a good guide for it.

You've used this NodeJs Builder (https://github.com/reisxd/revanced-builder) right? If so how did you use it because for me the oauth client id patch gives me errors on it.

You can use revanced builder and select patches just like manager. It still need Zulu though. Link to Revanced Builder - https://github.com/reisxd/revanced-builder/releases. Download the windows version and run it. Just make sure to select these 4 patches - https://revanced.app/patches/com.reddit.frontpage.

You can try using revanced builder, the setup is quite a bit more complex but personally I've had better results with it

I tried Revanced builder based on this comment from my new Patron Saint, and it worked.

That said... Besides creating an issue for the devs in hopes they either fix or find the problem, i can't think of any other way to do it other than using the cli (or the unofficial, yet trustworthy builder)... And that's a bit less beginner-friendly...

Here's where I got it. It's where I've always gone to get the instructions for Termux. I just really prefer the termux version over the revanced manager.
