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

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

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?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Download Subtitles: yt-dlp --write-sub --sub-lang (language code) (video URL) Doesn't work for videos with auto generated subs.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

None GUI. Just use a terminal!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Everyone in the comments: I use assembly for everything

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Bah. Peasants. I use my Automatic Computing Engine. Works great.

“GUI? For yt-dlp? No. No, hell no man. No, I imagine someone would get their ass kicked for saying something like that”

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

I don't think there's anything wrong with using GUI tools, they can display a lot more handleable info at once

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

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.

Command line. I even use termux for Android but I wanna try out seal some time

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Seal's fantastic, been using it for months now.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

CMD or bash. But TIL that yt-dlp had GUI.

I use a couple .bat files that I pre-wrote. Good enough for 95% of my needs.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I just have an alias stored in the bashrc file. One for audio and one for 1080p video.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I use Stacher

CMD line info is 1st class but I'm trying Vividl and like it enough to use it.

zsh with a few aliases

Parabolic on Linux.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

My preferred is youtube-dl-gui by murrty

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Graphical user Interface for people who don't want to use a command line.

Graphical User Interface

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

These heathens are in here typing out verbose commands and not setting up aliases.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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.
