For the most common scenarios I personally find CLI very easy to use: I go to the destination folder, right-click "Open in Terminal" and then type
yt-dlp linkcopypastedhere. That's all, multiple sites I used it with didn't require any extra params. Maybe if you want to customize something, like make your own file naming convention, etc, GUI could be handy.Even then, it's probably worth learning the CLI commands and setting up a config file with any desired settings. Once that's setup, you're back to
yt-dlp urlagain.do you use a WSL or powershell? windows terminal is inferior to linux terminal imo
I use PowerShell for damn near everything. But I'm pretty sure when you're just typing yt-dlp, space, then pasting the url, then any terminal is as good as any other.
good point, i did not know that you could change the configuration file instead of adding all the -cookies and -mp3 tags to the yt-dlp url ... command
