I was planning on using either the one by kannagi0303 from github or stacher.
update: I have setup the one from github, seems to do the job. Still can’t figure out downloading subtitles using gui and using the yt-dlp terminal version for that. Link for what I am using: https://github.com/kannagi0303/yt-dlp-gui
Idk I just wrote two or three Powershell scripts that I added to path so I can choose to download video (merged), audio, or both (unmerged) with a selection dialog to choose formats.
I similarly made two functions depending on the use case (see comments in code) and saved them in Powershell’s default profile (Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1) so I can invoke them with just one word directly in commandline, works great 👌
function Vid {
param (
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
[string]$link
)
yt-dlp -P "$env:USERPROFILE\Downloads" $link -S "res:1080,br" --embed-subs --sub-langs all,-live_chat --remux mp4
} #Downloads videos using yt-dlp limited to 1080p; usage Vid YT_URL
function VidFull {
param (
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
[string]$link
)
yt-dlp -P "$env:USERPROFILE\Downloads" $link --embed-subs --sub-langs all,-live_chat --remux mp4
} #Downloads videos using yt-dlp in maximum quality; usage VidFull YT_URL
You can download a VM program, like Virtualbox, and then create a VM and install Linux on it (I recommend Debian), that way you can learn little by little.
I just have mine set up as an alias in zsh (I assume this would work in bash too):
alias yt='yt-dlp -f "bestvideo[ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/mp4"'
Then just yt [url of video] from the command line should automatically grab the best quality video as an .mp4. And of course that can be tweaked to whatever you like (adding subs etc.)
alias ytdl=‘yt-dlp -f mp4 “bestvideo*+bestaudio” --sponsorblock-remove all --write-auto-sub’
On Android I just use Libretube. Has Sponsorblock and you can can grab a csv of all your subs you had from your previous client.
Lastly, I use newsboat and YouTube RSS feeds to subscribe these days. Redirection extension takes me to an invidious instance. Noscript blocks everything. Just need the url for yt-dlp.
The CLI is simple enough that I don’t really bug with any GUI abstractions. I used tubesync for a while on unRAID with pretty decent success, but I eventually ran into some limitations and ended switching to a cron job.

Can you provide a link ?
Absolutely

Thanks mate.
Command line. I even use termux for Android but I wanna try out seal some time
Seal’s fantastic, been using it for months now.
If you ever want to use it on mobile i can recommend Seal https://github.com/JunkFood02/Seal
Everyone in the comments: I use assembly for everything
Bah. Peasants. I use my Automatic Computing Engine. Works great.
Try

My preferred is youtube-dl-gui by murrty
Bash lol
Linux user ?
Both. Powershell when I’m using Windows.
Windows user?
Yes, I don’t understand the language of you god’s. Should’ve picked linux years ago when I got my first PC.
You can download a VM program, like Virtualbox, and then create a VM and install Linux on it (I recommend Debian), that way you can learn little by little.
Bash is a shell, like command prompt/powershell on WIn
They are not that different. The concepts are portable.
I use Stacher
I just have a config file with the settings that I want it to use all the time.
I just have mine set up as an alias in zsh (I assume this would work in bash too):
alias yt='yt-dlp -f "bestvideo[ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/mp4"'Then just
yt [url of video]from the command line should automatically grab the best quality video as an .mp4. And of course that can be tweaked to whatever you like (adding subs etc.)Don’t forget to block sponsors and get subtitles
alias ytdl=‘yt-dlp -f mp4 “bestvideo*+bestaudio” --sponsorblock-remove all --write-auto-sub’

Huh, I didn’t know it could do sponsorblock as well, neat!
Just the terminal on PC, Seal on Android.

NewTerm 3 and zsh on my iPad. What’s a GUI?
