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.
to the best of my knowledge, that's because your system does not have ffmpeg for subsequent transcoding of the site's format into what you would consider "your" format: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/blob/2023.07.06/README.md#s... (they also allow you to specify the path, if you don't have it in your $PATH, via --ffmpeg-location <https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/blob/2023.07.06/README.md?p...>)
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.
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
