yt-dlp for downloading videos from various websites.

[-] mspong@aussie.zone 9 points 1 year ago

This one is amazing, especially when you realise various websites means, nearly any streaming platform. SoundCloud, Mixcloud, Bandcamp etc, it knows them and can download whole archives of files. As we watch Twitter and Reddit totter and crumble it's time to realise this will happen with the sites that host your favourite podcast, unless you make offline copies

Plex. I know it’s not the open source option, but I love it.

With plex pass it detects intros and let’s you skip them. This silly feature got me to buy a lifetime pass.

[-] RighteousFog@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago

It really surprised me the first time I saw the Skip intro button on a series I downloaded. It seems to work by analyzing the audio and comparing it between episodes from the same season.
