Hi Lemmy!
This post is a way for me to announce one of my apps that I made for my personal usage.
It is a front end for yt-dlp and ffmpeg. It isn't just a yt-dlp downloader; it's more like a utility app that does anything that I need. The "special" part about this software is probably the ability to download YouTube subtitles and then embed them into the audio file as synced lyrics. Well, that is the only "unique" thing about it. As I’m still quite new to programming, there may be some bugs, and I appreciate your understanding. I’m also learning how to package it as a deb/rpm and plan to dedicate time to this during the summer. For now, the only way to download it will be to build from source with the bash install script in my repo.
If you have some time to try the app, I would love to hear your thoughts. Thank you for taking the time to read this! :)
I wish my own alternative would get similar praises, because it was there when YouTube-dl wasn’t. I’m really bad at marketing, it seems.
294 Github stars, I guess your marketing is fine
Very informative
Contributions which improve the documentation are appreciated.
Dont give up on it! Its very feasible that yt starts attacking yt-dlp. Invidious is already obfuscated. The more alternatives the better.
Some love to you too
Thanks!
It seem to be really interesting! I will give it a try.
Feedback and patches welcome!
