  1. improved on my yt-dlp ripping workflow due to increasing failures stemming from sites blocking VPN ips. now i get notifications of the failure, emacs raises the buffer, and my re-rip binding auto-reconnects to a different server before retrying. it's already paying dividends.

    i'd like to say it's an equal quality of life improvement to getting my AC fixed, but nah. 🥵

  2. Da ich versuche, Klicks auf die Konzerntube maximal zu vermeiden, war unter #Linux das Programm yt-dlp super, mit dem man per Kommandozeile die Videos ohne Cookies einfach runter laden konnte. Seit einiger Zeit funktioniert das (zumindest bei mir) nicht mehr. Kennt jemand von euch eine Alternative zu yt-dlp?

  10. I ❤️ YT-DLP

    My 7 year old kid says to me: 'Papa I want all the songs from Zootropolis on my USB stick for my little radio'

    Dad searches Youtube for Zootropolis soundtrack

    Goes to
    vinayakg.dev/tools/youtube-yt-

    Clicks 'Audio Extraction' and then 'Extract audio only', selects MP+ and Best Quality

    copy code, goes to OSX Terminal and Pastes.

    45 seconds later all 22 songs are ready.

    Copy all and paste into the USB.

    Hands USB to kid with Radio...

    Child Happiness. :blobfoxgoogly: :ablobcatrave:

  12. Wie mache ich denn jetzt Privatkopien von DRM-Videos, wenn yt-dlp nicht will?

    "ERROR: [DRM] The requested site is known to use DRM protection. It will NOT be supported."

  13. @fediverseconnection @leanderlindahl
    well, then you can make the video available on #mastodon.

    download it from #youtube (or #x, #instagram, #facebook, or whatever) and share it here, for example with #ytdlp or #tubular.

  16. What's the preferred CLI #YouTube video downloader on #FreeBSD these days?

    There has to be something better than #ytdlp. The list of dependencies it wants to bring along now is an absolute joke, including two different versions of #llvm! Sorry, but no...

    works with yt-dlp.

    Downloading YouTube videos here at home using yt-dlp works today.... without cookies. I do not even have a working login.

    I have noticed a limit, though. Maybe I can download about 16 videos before YouTube insists I login to continue downloading. After a cool-down period, I can resume downloading without any change to the command.

  24. Si vous voulez regarder un documentaire de #FranceTV, par exemple celui-ci :

    france.tv/documentaires/docume

    Vous n'êtes pas obligé de créer un compte sur leur site (compte qui finira inévitablement par fuiter avec vos données).

    Vous pouvez utiliser #ytdlp pour télécharger la vidéo et la regarder tranquillement avec n'importe quel lecteur vidéo.

  25. I am SO fed up with #youtube , their #ads, their so-called "bot protection", their #trackers , the almost obligation to create an account to slightly minimize #captcha ...

    I used to download their vids with #ytdlp to watch them a bit more comfortably, but now I must play with their #cookies !

    It would be OK that they safeguard THEIR content, but it is not!

  27. #Zenity is a bit of a winner for knocking together simple UIs. For ages I've been using a wrapper script around #ytdlp which determines the screen resolution of the computer it's running on, updates yt-dlp, then fetches the video supplied as an argument and streams it to #mpv.

    However that's not very friendly for folks who share the media device on which the script is available, so I wrapped it in Zenity to present a friendly UI for either playing a previously-watched video, playing a new video (by URL), presenting a list of previously-watched videos, and providing a means to delete one or all previously-watched videos.

  29. And while we are at shell tricks, I was happy to find out how to download only part of a youtube video:

    yt-dlp <video url> --download-sections '*01:14:30-01:16:30'

    ⚠️ Notice the "*" prefixing the time codes.

    Very useful to extract just a part of those very long #wmhack live videos.

  35. I've seen a few recommendations now for #Omniget downloader, e.g.

    linuxlinks.com/omniget-downloa

    But all I ever get when I try to download something from #Youtube or #OKru is "Connecting to server..."

    (And yes, I let it install the necessary extras: yt-dlp, ffmpeg IIRC)

    Does anyone else have more luck with it?

    FYI, same YT link that didn't work in Omniget downloading fine in #YTSage

  37. Estuve probando Ytldnis f-droid.org/packages/com.denis (aplicativo para descarga de audio y video usando #ytdlp)

    Sorprendido por su buen desempeño, hasta me bajo videos/shorts, de Instagram y otras plataformas similares. Su ultima actualización cinco de enero del presente año. Buena opción para usarla en tu móvil #android, siempre desde @fdroidorg

    Buen finde. Enjoy.
