Thread 106968577

YT-DLP is finally defeated by YouTube. It's now officially over.
Rest in piece.

Can't wait to download my favorite YouTube videos from shitty torrent sites going forward. Maybe some private tracker?

who honestly downloads youtube videos? whats the point? so you can re-watch some zoomer slop in a week?

>>106968587
you must be 18 to post here, youtube has been taking down alot of channels to better serve the jews

>>106968587
it was good for downloading coachella streams

Re download yt-dlp, they fixed it in a matter of minutes.

>>106968577 (OP)
I had the same issue today. It went away after a couple hours. The devs said they are already working on a solution.

>>106968587
fuck off patel

>>106968635
There is no update. Stop lying. I just checked.

like all "issues" with yt-dlp, google tries to stop them and the yt-dlp devs are immediately on it with a fix.

also there's plenty of youtube exclusive documentaries, full live concerts, etc. that are worth downloading for personal media storage.

>>106968577 (OP)

It's a constant battle between google and the archivers who save, least humanity forget what came before.

Videos need to be archived for historical, cultural, and ideological purposes, if Google can erase an entire channel because it doesn't fit with the times; then they control the past, and he who controls the past controls the future.

>>106968665
There're should be an universal torrent hub for new videos (with a delay or no to not compete for views). At least for new videos.

>>106968587
I'm downloading Vulkan programming streams, from one very smart guy, so I can watch them while on a plane.

Im somewhat amazed theres invidiuals who apparently dont understand why a video that can be uploaded to youtube would be valuable to someone.

Its like someone being confused you eat food or something.

>>106968781
Some people only watches trash, like reaction videos or a cropped stream. You're overestimating people.

>>106968587
>whats the point?
circumventing the evil jew who suppresses information spreading between humans via videos on platforms they bought out, like jewtube
jews regularly will shift videos they don't like to shitty server blades or something so they basically take forever to load, call it goy mode
take from them everything and give them nothing, it's the human way to deal with jews

currently broken on my system:

circa 2015-2017, the woke standards changed and slightly edgy videos were just getting pulled randomly and pretty much lost forever if the creators never cared too reup. a lot of good stuff was lost.

most annoying shit is that youtube still keeps the video ID in your playlist but refuses to tell you even what the title was. and now within the last few years, it won't even list the video so that you can at least get the ID and search it on archive sites.

>>106968843

>>106968781
There are so many cool noncommercial videos uploaded to youtube that had quality and real meaning to some people, that would certainly never be uploaded ever again if no one bothered to download them.

>>106968905
when you visit jewtube with a clean browser they just flag you as a bot and feed you jeet ai videos

>Implying that NHK series are "zoomer slop"
People was so lazy that nobody archived the NHK leak of years ago, downloading most episodes of Supreme Skills is nice but imagine all the rest that is lost.

Been broken for a day or so for me. We really need to wean ourselves off of youtube, this isn't a sustainable way to do it.

Why won't you poorfags just buy Premium already

im glad i archived some underage "alt" chinese girls youtube before all her socials got nuked, prob because her mom found out and saw all the comments she was getting kek

>>106968928
I doesn't work with my ISP and -f 18 but it does work with TOR (torify). Probably youtube limiting your IP range, they are far more strict than a few months ago (and they'll reject essentially all subs downloads).

Anyone know if this will work if I create an account?

>>106968843
Are you using an account?

There will never be a tracker for youtube videos. Content will continue to be uploaded to a dogshit platform that compresses the shit out of it and that can arbitrarily erase that content and that will one day decide their business is no longer economically viable or will sell out to another business that instantly fails....

There's a lot of content on the site worth archiving long long-term. But unless we can popularize a better form of tech than torrents for it to be decentralized, it's always gonna be at the mercy of some shit company.

>>106968905
There's always going to be a solution. I'll always make sure "content creators" get the rope and nothing else.
Worst case we do this:
>Script a Browser to play the Video
>Record the Video using Screen Recording or external HDMI Recording
>Do Optical Image Recognition or Browser Plugin Time stamping to Remove the Ad
>Share the Recorded Video via Torrent
>Make some DB to torrent youtube Videos
>Call the Tool ViCkeR
Never surrender.

>>106968954
The subs downloaded without error. Often it's indian language videos that give a "Too many requests" error for subs. Never found any other source for faulty subs.

>>106968941
id be willing to pay cash but premium requires having a youtube/google account + handing over a phone number and payment details. IF they had a way of setting up service and paying the way mullvad vpn does it i would be willing to mail em cash

Talking about accounts (they seem to have a different set of restriction against logged users) it seems that somebody *yt* killed youtubepp / y2mate that was an excellent way to bypass the age verification because that page had logged-in access

>>106968665
Marion Stokes comes to mind, who recorded TV from 1979 into her death in 2012.
She had the same idea of archiving because she knew people like to deny the past. Especially today when present Jeettube is going to war with be checked.

Every day we get a variation on this post. I'd ask why you don't post your wins, but I know you're just a mentally ill shut in who has nothing to contribute to society.

Premium only let's you keep local copies within the app you can't access externally to actually save afaik.

Need a fix for this ASAP.
Also need a fix for Rumble "tar" instances. Latest version gives:

So I have to use a very old version, and:
tar-360p-1 is usually the format I want (for space & bandwidth considerations), but that doesn't even work, so I have to use
--get-url

And feed it into ffmpeg to get it.
Then I don't get the correct file name, other details of the video, and it's not listed in the archive file.

>>106969028
YouTube shouldn't have become synonymous with internet culture to begin with.

Time to point a camera at a TV or find a clever desktop video capture method for your favorite OS, folks.

>>106968997
Only after the first few Downloads you get the VPN/Bot Ban announcement. Just get a new IPv6 they don't ban /64s just your single IP and continue.

And again, ViCkeR will defeat even that since it's a real browser.

A few months ago Rumble started giving "tar" labeled video IDs. They're basically the same as the mpeg/whatever they were labelled prior, but yt-dlp wouldn't allow you to download them, and recently they stopped listing them. Can you put a bug on their github since I can't.

>>106968587
>who honestly downloads youtube videos? whats the point?

Spoken like a true consoomer serf. The absolute state of the modern internet user, so thoroughly cucked by the cloud that you can no longer comprehend the concept of ownership. Let me try and spell it out for your smooth, botnet-addled brain.

Videos you enjoy will be deleted. Channels you follow will be nuked. It happens every single day. If you don't have a local copy, it is gone from history forever, memory-holed by some pajeet moderator because it violated a new clause in the ToS.

You are a guest on their platform. You are renting access. They can, and will, increase the number of ads, make their platform more unusable, and log every single thing you do. An offline copy is immune to all of this.

You have a renter's mindset. You're content to live in a digital world you don't own, on services you don't control, watching media that can be vaporized at a moment's notice. We download videos because we aren't cattle.

>>106971246
They even put DRM in displayport. It will always still be possible of course but you might need a custom capture card that pretends to be a real monitor and instead decodes the DRM signal and turns it into file IO.

>>106971345
True but how much of youtube is actually worth archiving? Most of it is clickbait casual entertainment slop.

For the ones that are worth seriously archiving you can archive the information in them a lot more manually if you have to. Like a tutorial.

>>106968925
start mirroring shit on peertube

>>106968587
yes, so what? local storage is just better than youtube playlists. u can organize your videos however you want, embed whatever meme for kek points among anons you share the video with (and remove ads/sponsor time waste), save internet bandwidth because you'll not be downloading the same video twice, upscale really old stuff with 360p quality with ai. downloading video also is healthy, because storage is limited and so you filter out truly sloppy slop from at least ok slop; you slowly develop a taste which filters out watching trash from your habbits. it's just net positive.

honestly, that was idiotic bait.
and outside of slop watching.
tell me, why piracy is relevant again? there was an unironic period when it went down
tell me, why there's no good new content overall? whatever age you pick, people do not upload.
these may be better questions

rip the markie mark it ain't me video

So to the guy at the top of the thread, and anyone else who wonders "Why bother!?" here is my answer to you.

Back when VCR was introduced, and people started recording whatever they wanted, this same conversation happened. A lot of normalfags thought it was weird that anyone would ever want to record anything besides the end of a football game. Over time DVR replaced VCR and it became proprietary, because it turned out that anyone with a stack of tapes could easily accumulate entire seasons of TV shows or whole movies with minimal effort. They did this to curb piracy, and it sort of worked... Except people liked the freedom of VCR, and most people could not give less of a fuck about DVR since it's inherently limited.

Those format wars are happening right now with Youtube. We have proof now that the platform is fucking with videos almost immediately after they're uploaded. With small channels, it will throttle the connection, and with large channels, it will bitstarve them. Now you might say, how does this relate to piracy? Because up until literally a few weeks ago, YT Premium uploads could be acquired due to an oversight with the iOS client. They removed that, and now they're tightening up their protection, because they do not under any circumstances want you to have access to high quality videos. So now if you want to actually see a decent-looking video you have to give YT money, and seemingly no one has a problem with this when it is possibly the most disgusting and anti-consumer thing ever committed. I mean that, too. Paying for pixels that were deliberately taken out of the video!

It does not matter what the content is or how it's acquired. What matters is that there are constant, day-in and day-out efforts from greedy corporations to hook you into their enshittified ecosystem, and they will waste time fighting pirates who legitimately care more about these stupid ass videos than they do. I want my Let's Plays on my machine and that's final.

>>106971350
There's plenty of media that's effectively archived on YouTube from obscure albums, VHS, anime, vintage instructional videos, lectures, documentaries, commentators that are sometimes primarily on YouTube.

Any of that can disappear from enough copyright complaints or arbitrary wrongspeak, legit or not.

>>106972005
yes, this. which is why it is so important to use yt-dlp and archive it.

>Can't wait to download my favorite YouTube videos from shitty torrent sites going forward. Maybe some private tracker?
I'm not sure if you're saying this sarcastically but I'm genuinely waiting for this.
1. I already get all of my media from private trackers.
2. I get better privacy from private trackers.
3. this is literally how the world wide web worked before internet video streaming. (think the o.g. PurePwnage episode releases over BitTorrent.)

distributing videos with BitTorrent kills the jew since it requires far fewer resources to accomplish the same goal, and fake and gay content would die immediately without centralization.

working fine for me right now.

>>106972313
There's no good tracker for ASMR since OT died

But on a more serious note: How would that work out? Should some site download EVERYTHING that is uploaded to YouTube and seed it for, I don't know, four hours before deleting it from their servers and hope that some people download it and keep seeding it?

>>106972401
That's the good thing about torrents, not everything will stay up, only very important stuff you can likely get elsewhere anyway.

>>106972419
Lindy-filtering, that's a good thing.

>>106968587
i don't normally download them as much as i just stream it over mpv, which uses yt-dlp. the experience is 100x better than using a bloated browser, and youtube can't spy on me besides seeing my IP address.

>>106972440
This. Watching the video and not having to put up with all the rest of the youtube shit in amazing.

>>106972419
it works like anything else in the private tracker space.. people who care about a thing rip it and seed it. people who also care about it leech it then seed it. by requiring a ratio of 2, you generally ensure that people have always kept it around just enough so that two other people have copies. but realistically we don't even need go into the private tracker economics. the most basic principle is that people who like a thing will likely keep it on their hard drive. people who have a few kb of transfer to spare will be able to seed it. there are usually enough people to create a large enough swarm that it "just works."

>>106968577 (OP)
Damn, I should have been downloading all my favorite YouTube video tutorials instead of being busy with my daily life all these years.

>>106972153

The reason you there is exclusively zoomerslop is because you don't search for and archive the good content. You get what you put into it.

>>106971556
this nigger is so entrenched in google's ass that he can't possibly comprehend a world where people want to download videos without the permission of daddy.

>>106972510
As said, that's the good thing, you don't, you do not need all that slop saved forever consuming power somewhere.

>>106972527
every video archived on youtube is inherently "slop"?

cynicism is wasted on normalfags who wield it irresponsibly. we should have never initiated them

>>106972510
like the other guy said about slop but all you need is one good UI. nothing about BitTorrent necessitates the arcane interfaces that dominate the ecosystem because only oldfags like me use it.

What does this actually even do?
My cousin's dad paid for it once thinking "download" meant "download" and to me it looked like it just adds videos to a private playlist? Something you can already do?

I want to set up an imageboard to give people a place to request tech support on my projects and meguca seems nice from a feature perspective but the build requirements for the unstable version seem a bit ridiculous, and I'm not sure how it compares to stable.

>he doesn’t know about the analog hole
anon, the human eye does not have a DRM decoder circuit. If you want a human to view DRM protected content it has to be converted into photons that travel through the air. This means it has to be decrypted. This process can be captured. There is no preventing this. It can be made more complex but it is always in theory possible no matter what anybody does

>>106968587
Me. I hecking love posting video in thread in a world dominated by low effort phoneposters

>>106973402
True, but what are you proposing? That you capture your screen with a camera? That each user of YT-DLP modified their monitor and replaces the panel with a circuit that records the pixel data, then reencodes this data as video (and cuts out the part before and after)?

Compared to what we have now (enter URL into program, get output video), that will suck.

>>106973476
You don’t even need that. Some macbooks (iirc M1 or M2) had an unpatchable hardware exploit that allowed the user to extract widevine keys from the TPM. This is guaranteed to also exist on newer machines as long as pajeets are still vibecoding them. Now unless yidtube wants to prevent entire categories of users from accessing their website you can use those leaked keys and just capture the raw decoded stream

>>106973527
That's convenient. God bless H-1B.

>>106970579
>>106970718
>>106972216
Anon is right. "Redownload" makes the prompt sound like the user has to manually download the new version. "Update" does not make this assumption.

>>106973592
I'm not any of the faggots in this chain of retardation but there's such a fine line between download, install and update in terms of what the computer is literally doing you're all probably trannies for getting upset about it. literally bits are received from the internet and then they are executed by your processor. if you have a problem with this process you probably shouldn't use computers.

>>106971872
>it will bitstarve them

>Up until now, yt-dlp has been able to use its built-in JavaScript "interpreter" to solve the JavaScript challenges that are required for YouTube downloads. But due to recent changes on YouTube's end, the built-in JS interpreter will soon be insufficient for this purpose.
