yt-dlp is back in the menu, bois

https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest

I mean I downloaded a video with it a few days ago without any issue.

>>106353331
i don't understand why people download youtube videos. are you making a collection of pointless garbage?

yt-dlp has always worked for me, even if I don't update it it still works just slower

freetube however, broken 90% of the time, fucking freetube

>>106352732 (OP)
Youtube keeps breaking any downloader every other month. That killed the GUIs but not the CLI :^)

>>106353381
Many reasons
>archive video that might break the site rules
>archive video the uploader might remove
>make webms
>use in your own videos

>>106353381
With the recent child safety bs any video can be gone any time. And there are some videos I consider close to myself.

>>106353381
There're a lot of good videos/series on YT that last less than 5 years but are good.
Things like Supreme Skills of NHK, documentaries, etc.

>>106353381
You must've missed "Tech Jesus"'s video being taken down on the Chinese GPU smugglers. THAT is why you download these videos, for reuploading obvious "this will be taken down" videos.

>>106353381
i download playlists for my kinds to watch that are vetted by me instead of giving full access to the algorithm that will surely rot their brains more that zoomers have already been.

>>106352732 (OP)
stop pirating content

>>106354022
his videos are unironically worthless

>>106353381
yt-dlp can download more than YouTube videos. It can download streams and other videos from other sites.

freetub wen

yt-dlp is more than youtube retard

>>106353381
I use it to download porn that might disappear in the future when the girl regrets her past decisions and nukes her porn account

>windows 8 and up
7 chads we down bigly :(

Not sure where else to put this, but hasn't the time and tracking bar on Youtube grown kind of ridiculously large? Am I just imagining things? Is there a way to counteract it?

>>106353381
they get removed from time to time, not like I downloa everything, just the ones that have something special to me

>>106353381
I download everything that I could possibly want to watch/read more than once. This goes for everything, not just youtube.

>>106354651
>time and tracking
???
Do you mean seekbar?

>YT-dlp
it's literally called YT you absolute brain dead retard

>>106354919
you are fucking braindead

>>106353381
Some good tech lessons are totally worth saving.

>>106354886
That thing, yeah

>>106353381
I don't understand why you make retarded posts. are you making a collection of pointless garbage?

>>106354997
Google likes to do random A/B testing with the layout. Hell I was stuck with 3 videos max per row no matter the screen size for months and recently the seekbar had changed to sometime similar to mpv for a day.

cool it with the antisemitism

>>106353381
I don't really hoard data but I want to be able to download videos from there in case H1B shitskins make it inaccessible in the future.

>>106354022
Yes, I am a thief. No, I will not stop stealing your content. No, you can't do shit about that. TOTAL E-CELEB DEATH.

>>106355624
>I'm not a hoarder but I will hoard just in case
I mean...

>>106354602
vxkex fixes it, it's just some python nonsense.
(yes i renamed it to ytdl.exe because yt-dlp is a pain to type out)

After downloading ~160 videos (22GB total) I keep getting HTTP Error 403: Forbidden

>5 short lines of text

>too stupid to find all instances of said username in said 5 short lines
not the sharpest tool in the shed, huh vxiiduu?

>>106355692
>>106355753
lmao what a retard

>>106355675
Downloading a playlist or two doesn't make you a hoarder IMHO.
>>106355721
anti-7 tranny janny who removed this post, I hope you will get a bone cancer.

>>106355721

What do you expect from a guy who insists on running Windows 7 in 2025 and calls himself a "7 chad"

>>106353381
Autists like to rewatch the same videos from time to time. Your normgroid ass would not understand.

>>106353381
Toss them on my jellyfin server for my grandmother so she doesn't have to watch ads or waste bandwidth.

>back
it never stopped working

>>106353381
Music Videos, Chemistry and engineering videos aren't garbage ;P

Particularly Music Videos are oftentimes not available any longer after a few years.

Of the hundreds of music videos I downloaded over the years and enjoy still, only 60% are still available - I recently checked.

>>106353381
How to get free music then?

>>106353381
