I want to be able to type yt-dlp [url] and have it automatically use --sponsorblock-remove CATS to remove sponsored section from the download file without having to type --sponsorblock-remove CATS everytime. Is this possible within yt-dlp?

enabling --write-subs, --write-thumbnail, by default for subtitles and thumbnails would also be convenient

I use the section 4 approach with great success.

Just alias it in your .bashrc

alias yt-dlps='yt-dlp --sponsorblock-remove CATS --write-subs --write-thumbnail'

This will work, but is not as nice as the official way to do it via a config file, as described by another comment here.

[-] db2@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

It's better actually, because you don't need to mess with the config if you want to run it without the switch.

Today I learned yt-dlp has sponsorblock built in

I’m sure there would be a way to create a script that puts the commands that you’d like in for a given url. Also haven’t used yt-dlp, it’s nice that they have sponsorblock built in.

I didn't even realize it was POSSIBLE to differentiate those sections let alone remove them. Thanks for inadvertently informing me.

If someone didn't know there is a yt-dlp android front end called YTDLnis, use at your own risk but use it it's fucking great.

Also there's Seal which is a bit better imo

[-] BlackSkinnedJew@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 1 year ago

Why would you want to remove cats, they're adorable 🥺

Create a configuration file. https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp has the documentation
