Yt-dlp – A YouTube-dl fork with additional features and fixes

• yt-dlp

  2,360 70,159 9.8 Python

  A feature-rich command-line audio/video downloader

  

I was recently looking for a library that did this and couldn't find anything nice. I was surprised but also slightly disappointed to see that yt-dlp has essentially rolled their own (cookies.py [1]).

• youtube-dl

  1,082 128,460 8.5 Python

  Command-line program to download videos from YouTube.com and other video sites

  

youtube has recently been implementing download speed throttling on some video downloads. See: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/29326 . Youtube-dl does not yet have a solution for this occasional download speed throttling.

This yt-dlp fork has a workaround (though not a true fix) for the issue: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/29326#issuecom...

I made a tool for myself so I could 1 click download videos to my iphone's camera roll. It's based on youtube-dl. I like to share raw videos and do not like to share URLs. I use this tool to make that easy.

Not currently available for installation via Homebrew for macOS, as opposed to youtube-dl and youtube-dlc both of which can be installed via Homebrew.

However, there is an open pull request for it from just a few hours ago https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/84049

So here's to hoping it'll be available there soon :D

• youtube-dl-wpf

  14 769 8.1 C#

  A simple GUI wrapper for youtube-dl and yt-dlp.

I just updated my youtube-dl GUI to support yt-dlp.

https://github.com/database64128/youtube-dl-wpf

Currently it's WPF based and therefore only supports Windows. I'm considering porting it to Avalonia so I can also use it on my Linux desktop.

The reason I made this GUI is mostly for manual format selection. The automatic 'bestvideo+bestaudio/best' doesn't always result in the best format combination. So I always select AV1 + Opus manually and use the WebM container. The GUI also includes some opinionated defaults like embedding metadata, thumbnail, subtitles.
