I have a new tool for downloading videos from websites. It was not easy to get this working, so I am not recommending the investment of time for this, but I am dropping the link here, possibly for future reference, or for technically-minded people who have been looking for another way to download streaming video.
This is working also as a #GreaseMonkey script in the #Falkon web browser.

Today in self-owned infrastructure: I’m a #podcast publisher now. 😅
Almost every day, I find an interesting video or audio file, but don’t have the time to watch or listen to it.
Now I can drop it into my menu bar and it gets published in a podcast feed.Perfect way of consuming it later anywhere (or maybe never, but it’s bookmarked and archived).
The software is powered by #ytdlp, #ffmpeg, and #docker, running #selfhosted on my NAS, routed through #nginxproxymanager.

So there's this cool new artist/musician/photographer/model --- I guess everyone has to be multi-hyphenate now --- I found on TikTok:
https://www.tiktok.com/@illumitatiana?lang=en
She started? is part of? a music project called "Contact Sports" which released a cool music video for a cool song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhHZa11TdX0
It's got a fun retro tech aesthetic/vibe.
And some of her older TikTok stuff suggested she releases on #BandCamp! Nice!
But... hold on a sec.
Eventually, I found some kind of link tree:
https://contactsports.lnk.to/meandmymachine
No BandCamp :(
And then I see it, buried in a footer of one of the webpages: Warner Music Group (WMG).
NOOOOOOOO!!!!
There will never be a BandCamp release, just endless streaming bullshit. Notice in the screenshot how NONE of the NINE options given indicate an ability to BUY, to PURCHASE, to OWN the damned thing!
But there is the iTunes store with a "download" button at least.
But the "Download" button takes you to "Apple Music", which is JUST ANOTHER FUCKING STREAMING SERVICE.
But... apparently you *can* actually *purchase* the DRM-free music?
Oh. You have to do that through the iTunes app. Which only works on Mac and Windows. Because of course it won't work on Linux. And of course they won't set up a web site either.
Ok. How do I Actually Support™ this artist AND get to actually own the music in a non-DRM-encumbered manner?
The answer is: a Compact Disc. A CD-ROM. In 2026.
Fine. I bought it. It will ship October 02 2026.
But in the meantime...
I'm just gonna pirate your shit, WMG. What kind of fucked up world am I living in where the least-friction option is a fucking CLI program called yt-dlp?

Yeah, there's a bunch of UIs for #YTDLP , I have several installed. I try the others out occasionally but keep coming back to #YtDownloader for its simplicity/ease of use.
Others I've got: YTSage, Omniget, Open Video Downloader.

PS When taking the screenshots, I accidentally closed YtDownloader in the middle of a download. I restarted it, repasted the URL, reset the desired settings... & it resumed from where it left off (89%). Phew!
But hopefully they can build in a "one-click resume" option in future.

RE: https://dobbs.town/@onan/117147910990857589
It's low resolution video, but the Greek subtitles really sell it to me. Downloaded with yt-dlp to carefully watch later.

How do you feel about #ytdlp making this change? Are they limiting potential advancements that could help keep video downloads free? You know the people at YouTube are using AI, and probably using it to try to stop us from downloading content without watching their ads and propaganda.When people post to the yt-dlp project, they are agreeing to work without any help from AI or LLM, with severe penalty if caught.
