yt-dlp (formerly youtube-dl's)

Is there any way to make it a browser extension? It's not vital, but it would save me messing with the command line every time I want to save a video.

My current work around is to have a download playlist and save things in batches, but this obviously doesn't work for non-YouTube sites.

just build a bat file and then flip to it whenever you need

I don't know if it uses DL or DLP but Jdownloader sniffs the clipboard so any url you copy gets added to the download list. The settings are great but way the GUI works is atrocious.
 
I'm a dumb boomer, I got youtube-dl and followed a few videos to get it to work but it hits me with 'You don't have permission to do this". I ran it in admin mode but the same thing happens.
Is that because it is abandoned, and are there other recommend youtbe mp3 rippers you'd recommend for windows?

Yt-DLP is still maintained, try that. https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp

Why would you run anything that is a simple downloader under admin mode? What if the videos told you to do the needful and download their "youtube-dl installer"? The permission denials are definitely not connected to the project being abandoned, so you're gonna have to provide more info on what you did exactly and what guides you followed.

Sure thing thanks. I followed this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOhGkZ4U4lI

And got this message:

I also tried it a few other ways and got 'Access Denied'

I think you forgot the type in the file extension. Instead of youtube-dl [link] try youtube-dl.exe [link]

If it still gives you "Access Denied" you might want to try moving the install folder to D:. Windows is less strict when it comes to running executables from non-system drives.

I tried that, and now I'm getting 'the process cannot be accessed because it is being used by another process" which I'm not sure how is possible because it said it can't even run in the first place

Searching these types of messages mostly brings up Windows SmartScreen being the culprit. Maybe it sees the .EXE file that's actually a Python interpreter packed together with all the script files as suspicious. Check the General tab of the file's properties for anything referring to security and/or check to see how to add exceptions to the whitelist of SmartScreen (if such a thing is possible, probably through MS Defender exceptions). I'm basing all of this on the assumption of you running a 64-bit system of Windows 10/11 and that file actually being a valid EXE one.

Before doing that though, you might as well check to see if yt-dlp works: release files (recommended Windows one).
 
Última edición:
Couldn’t you mod ytdlg to use ytdlp in the backend instead of ytdl? Pretty sure command syntax is the same, ytdlp has a few more options available tho
 
Can someone explain in caveman speak how to download part of a video with yt-dlp? I thought this was possible with yt-dl , but I can't find anything in the yt-dlp readme for it.
 
I honestly use Youtube-DLP for sites other than Youtube.
It's good at reading Kaltura players (AsianCrush, TheArchive), Crackle (It can defeat that site's Widevine, but not Tubi's scrambling of WB/Sony content? Hm...), Tubi (at least what isn't encrypted/DRMed) and PlutoTV in my experience.
 
Considering that this forum is filled with niggers who shit themselves at the sight of a command line, or even a CLI selection menu, here's a fork of YouTube-DLG that has been updated to use yt-dlp. It's a window with buttons, you should be able to use it.
 
I've tried it. Sometimes it works, sometimes it gives you a file that shits the bed 30 minutes in. Really hit and miss.
YouTube-DL works fine still for all older vids and can randomly get some current Twitter vids. I'm gonna check this yt-dlpnew update, fork, whatever, later.
