There is an app on android called Video Downloader to pirate videos from websites. Now, it works for almost every website except youtube. The problem with this app is, it has no adblocker and when you visit sites you should not visit without an adblocker, it just rains ads on you. So, is there a website equivalent of this app which can download videos from any website?

On Android, it's a bit complicated but you if you are experienced you can use termux and yt-dlp.

You can use yt-dlp from a desktop too.

For youtube on android you can use newpipe. It allows streaming as well as downloading.

No problem. You're welcome :)

@Owell1984 I think the bot is based on YouTube-dl or yt-dlp

Take a look at Seal for Android.

Github: https://github.com/JunkFood02/Seal

Fdroid: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.junkfood.seal/

It's a friendly android GUI for yt-dlp, so everything yt-dlp supports it can download.

I don't know of any website but yt-dlp is great for downloading videos.

And for YouTube specifically, a few Invidious instances have downloads enabled.

Try stremio with torrentio plugin, login it via guest login install torrentio and watch/download whichever film TV show you want.

They already suggested yt-dlp, but also have a look at JDownloader. You can paste a webpage url and it will fetch all the elements it can download, video included. You can also create download collections in order to download the same files again (or in another computer with JDownloader installed).

Everyone is saying Youtube-dlp but you could also just use NewPipe

You could run youtube-dl or yt-dlp (command-line) through Termux on Android, and that should work with most non-DRM protected stuff.

If the only thing you are missing is youtube download ability, why not use one of the many options to do that from a handset? Newpipe or Spottube are on fdroid. https://invidious.io/ allows you to do it from a browser.

yt-dlp (command line, for all OSes)

Also, on Windows you can use IDM's video grabber (get IDM from LRepacks.net, safe site) which works very conveniently with websites that require sign-in/cookies, and on Linux that would be XDM + VideoDownload Helper addon in browser.
