YouTube-dl's first release since June 2021

• youtube-dl

  1,082 128,460 8.5 Python

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

  

Seems to be https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/15024?

The complaint is that it's come up repeatedly ('Not again. Use search') - agree it's a bit of a brush off, and it's not helpful for anybody (perhaps most of all the maintainers themselves!) that it doesn't link any of the others, or the one that was merged, or the first one with a better explanation for rejection, or whatever.

Something I would say though (that as above doesn't seem to be the issue, but who knows maybe it contributed) is that you could put a bit more time into the PR description & title. There's little human-readable (without following a link) information in the title. Your checked boxes are all broken (`[x ]` & `[ x]`) despite the instructions on how to do it (`[x]`) that you've left in (that also indicates a bad template in fairness, should be a comment (`

• yt-dlp

  2,360 70,636 9.8 Python

  A feature-rich command-line audio/video downloader

• turbotuber

  1 6 0.0 D

  relentless external youtube-dl downloader for YouTube

No. Also, I tried that with youtube-dl but it doesn't work reliably. [1]

yt-dlp uses a different method than youtube-dl (I believe it uses the API used by the Android app, instead of by the youtube.com website).

• lux

  13 25,247 7.4 Go

  👾 Fast and simple video download library and CLI tool written in Go

Seems weird to me to frown upon python and then being ok with perl.. but whatever float your boat! Perhaps check out https://github.com/iawia002/annie which is Go so you can get a static binary.

• openwith

  10 389 0.0 JavaScript

  Discontinued Open With add-on for Firefox

"This add-on is not actively monitored for security by Mozilla. Make sure you trust it before installing."

Hm, well I'm sure it's by a well-known and trustworthy author.

"The source for this add-on is at https://github.com/darktrojan/openwith."

Dark Trojan. Sounds legit.
