What is your GUI of choice for yt-dlp ?
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
Bash lol
Linux user ?
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.
Bash is a shell, like command prompt/powershell on WIn
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.
They are not that different. The concepts are portable.
Both. Powershell when I’m using Windows.
I just use command line honestly.
I wasn't aware it had subtitle support though. What's the command for downloading those?
Download Subtitles: yt-dlp --write-sub --sub-lang (language code) (video URL) Doesn't work for videos with auto generated subs.
Automatic subtitles are also possible to grab by using --write-auto-sub, example:
yt-dlp --write-auto-sub [video url]
This next example will attempt to download English subtitles and if that fails, downloads the automatic subtitles instead:
yt-dlp --sub-lang en --write-sub --write-auto-sub [video url]
Note - you can not download automatic subtitles at the same time as language subtitles, which means if you wanted English and automatic I'd recommend the --skip-download flag for the second command, which will prevent downloading the entire video again:
yt-dlp --sub-lang en --write-sub [video url]
yt-dlp --write-auto-sub --skip-download [video url]
Same here. I never needed a gui for it cause I simply drag and dropped over mpv and it handled the streaming. In fact it download subs on its own
None GUI. Just use a terminal!
Everyone in the comments: I use assembly for everything
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
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.
I use a couple .bat files that I pre-wrote. Good enough for 95% of my needs.
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.
zsh with a few aliases
Terminator
These heathens are in here typing out verbose commands and not setting up aliases.
I use Stacher
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 terminal
None, I wrote a terminal UI (just to clean things up and customized to suit my need) that was originally for youtube-dl and switched to yt-dlp
Basically I have a Keyboard Maestro that reads my clipboard and automatically inserts any youtube links into a text file, so that I can run my script which downloads all the links and rename them accordingly.
Try tzahi12345/youtubedl-material.
NewTerm 3 and zsh on my iPad. What's a GUI?
Graphical user Interface for people who don't want to use a command line.
boooo!
The NewPipe app on android does also downloads youtube videos
Stacher
CMD or bash. But TIL that yt-dlp had GUI.
Just the terminal on PC, Seal on Android.
