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
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.

“GUI? For yt-dlp? No. No, hell no man. No, I imagine someone would get their ass kicked for saying something like that”
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with using GUI tools, they can display a lot more handleable info at once
The NewPipe app on android does also downloads youtube videos
Mostly on my phone via Seal these days…
I am using seal on my phone too but need something for pc.

I just have an alias stored in the bashrc file. One for audio and one for 1080p video.
CMD line info is 1st class but I’m trying Vividl and like it enough to use it.

Parabolic on Linux.
I use a couple .bat files that I pre-wrote. Good enough for 95% of my needs.
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.
CMD or bash. But TIL that yt-dlp had GUI.
iTerm
Just the terminal on PC, Seal on Android.
