Which downloader do you prefer?

[-] guazzabuglio@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

Not OP, but I love yt-dlp.

Yeah I'd recommend that anyway since I think youtube-dl is deprecated? (Or is it not deprecated, just superceded by yt-dlp. I can't rightly remember.)

[-] Pyrozo007@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago

Correct, youtube-dl is outdated and unmaintained

[-] illyria817@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

I'll check it out, thank you!

can recommend yt-dl to download stuff from YouTube https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl

[-] Pyrozo007@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 years ago

youtube-dl is outdated and unmaintained, yt-dlp is the currently maintained fork and should work much better

cheers mate!

I use newpipe already so it's a quick download of video or audio file from newpipe itself as I'm looking through subscription.

NewPipe is great for mobile. It has a good user experience even for streaming videos; the download is also super easy to use. One of my favorite apps on my phone for sure.

my preference was always throwing the url into VLC and finding where the actual file was to download.
I assume this is what downloaders are doing behind the scenes anyway
