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 1 year 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] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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

Everyone in the comments: I use assembly for everything

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

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

None GUI. Just use a terminal!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

“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 1 year 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] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

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

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

I use Stacher

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

the terminal

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

My preferred is youtube-dl-gui by murrty

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Idk I just wrote two or three Powershell scripts that I added to path so I can choose to download video (merged), audio, or both (unmerged) with a selection dialog to choose formats.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I similarly made two functions depending on the use case (see comments in code) and saved them in Powershell's default profile (Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1) so I can invoke them with just one word directly in commandline, works great 👌

function Vid {
    param (
        [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
        [string]$link
    )
    yt-dlp -P "$env:USERPROFILE\Downloads" $link -S "res:1080,br" --embed-subs --sub-langs all,-live_chat --remux mp4
} #Downloads videos using yt-dlp limited to 1080p; usage Vid YT_URL
function VidFull {
    param (
        [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
        [string]$link
    )
    yt-dlp -P "$env:USERPROFILE\Downloads" $link --embed-subs --sub-langs all,-live_chat --remux mp4
} #Downloads videos using yt-dlp in maximum quality; usage VidFull YT_URL

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

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

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

Parabolic on Linux.
