  • ytdl-sub

    Lightweight tool to automate downloading and metadata generation with yt-dlp

  • If you are downloading videos for use in Plex or Jellyfin/Emby, I highly suggest looking at https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub

  • YoutubeDL-Material

    Self-hosted YouTube downloader built on Material Design

  • I've had a look at youtubedl-material, and it hasn't been updated for a while. is there anything else? Can someone confirm it does everything youtube-dl cli does?

  • get_iplayer

    A utility for downloading TV and radio programmes from BBC iPlayer and BBC Sounds

  • For BBC iPlayer I recommend get-iplayer. Works better than yt-dlp for this case.

  • YT-RED-UI

    Windows .NET Framework GUI Application for Downloading Video and Audio Files from YouTube and Reddit

  • yt-dlp-web-ui

    A terrible web ui for yt-dlp 🙄. Designed to be self-hosted.

  • I use this one, which is actively maintained: https://github.com/marcopeocchi/yt-dlp-web-ui

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
