yt-dlp

It supports YouTube playlists also, so you can just give it a massive playlist and let it go

MeTube works on most streaming sites. Very simple setup and UI.

Stock up while you can! Try to download some longer series and then when you're off wifi break them up into an episode a day or so, so that there's always something new to look forward to, in the same way you'd have new content on youtube each day.

Which downloader do you prefer?

[–] guazzabuglio@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Not OP, but I love yt-dlp.

[–] EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yeah I'd recommend that anyway since I think youtube-dl is deprecated? (Or is it not deprecated, just superceded by yt-dlp. I can't rightly remember.)

[–] Pyrozo007@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago

Correct, youtube-dl is outdated and unmaintained

[–] illyria817@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

I'll check it out, thank you!

can recommend yt-dl to download stuff from YouTube https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl

[–] Pyrozo007@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

youtube-dl is outdated and unmaintained, yt-dlp is the currently maintained fork and should work much better

[–] Retainer8510@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

cheers mate!

I use newpipe already so it's a quick download of video or audio file from newpipe itself as I'm looking through subscription.

[–] zxo@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

NewPipe is great for mobile. It has a good user experience even for streaming videos; the download is also super easy to use. One of my favorite apps on my phone for sure.

[–] metaStatic@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

my preference was always throwing the url into VLC and finding where the actual file was to download.
I assume this is what downloaders are doing behind the scenes anyway

[–] Silviecat44@vlemmy.net 3 points 1 year ago

Whenever I do this I never watch them for some reason
