YouTube Downloading (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'm looking for a free GUI that can download a YouTube channel in a particular language (i.e. Japanese) with it's associated English subtitles preferably in SRT format.

I used 4K Video Downloader which worked fine for the "old" YT even though it was limited and I had to uninstall and reinstall a few times I got exactly what I wanted.

Then Google in all their stupidity decided to put all streams for a single video together so I can't get what I want from 4K without downloading the video and then splitting the stream some way and downloading the Japanese audio to go with it.

Can anyone give me a simpler alternative to what I'm trying to do? I would appreciate any constructive input. Thanks!

No GUI but https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp

It can download, mux the streams and I believe has options to select language.

Stacher is a great GUI for yt-dlp on Windows and MacOS.

yt-dlp -F {youtube url} - Will list the different streams for you, which you can then individually download with "-f {stream number}". You can use ffmpeg to put them all back together after. I know op asked for gui, but I figured I would point out the command line options just in case it was helpful.

yt-dlp can use ffmpeg automatically: „-f {number1}+{number2}“ will merge stream number1 and number2 into one file

Upvoted - if you want to do cool things... learn how to use the command line interface. It's what separates the men from the boys....

I love yt-dlp, it's so useful.

You can get a GUI with it if you host MeTube.
