    Just use yt-dlp, or if you prefer a GUI, Tartube (which is basically just a GUI for yt-dlp). Source: almost 1 year ago
  • Is there a way to save the errors/warnings into a text file or any method of saving them as a log?

  • The Smile, Live at Montreux official youtube
    You're right it's a bit fucked. I went down a rabbit hole and this is the best one as far as I can tell https://github.com/axcore/tartube. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Wanted to download videos on school's website portal, but unable to. Any workarounds, and would they be notified if I'll download those?
    I'd recommend something like Tartube. It uses yt-dlp as backbone, but all you have to do is copy paste URL and choose format and quality and you're good to go. Works on hundreds of sites. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Tommy and Rodknock about to be doing a live stream.
    I usually use JDownloader, works 99% of the time, this time it didn't so I used Tartube (https://github.com/axcore/tartube). It is a GUI, but a little more technical. It's kinda slow, maybe because it's a livestream, but it's downloading for me currently. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Can I get an ELI5 on how to use this?
    You could also just use a gui like https://github.com/axcore/tartube or https://github.com/oleksis/youtube-dl-gui/releases. Source: over 1 year ago
  • How can I get a list of all the video URLs contained in a playlist?
    Maybe you can check tartube a gui for youtubedl that have the option to not include age resricted/blocked videos. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Is there any tool to generate a list of all videos of a youtube channel?
    If you want a GUI solution, you could use Tartube (https://github.com/axcore/tartube). Source: about 2 years ago
  • YouTube-dl is under new management, will be happy to see new PRs
    I tried https://github.com/axcore/tartube some time ago and it worked. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
  • Youtube DLP has a cut sponsor setting, is there any way to reverse it, so it cuts out anything but the sponsor
    If you want a GUI solution, Tartube https://github.com/axcore/tartube can remove either the sponsored section or everything but the sponsored section. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Youtubedl-gui: version 3.0
    Was using youtubedl-gui for a while, then switched to https://github.com/axcore/tartube. Did not regret it. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Broken Links Still Playing Videos
    Sites take a ton of measures to prevent people who barely know what they’re doing from going into inspect element and grabbing the video link, you can try youtube-dl or Tartube (more user friendly interface for youtube-dl), but if that doesn’t work you’re probably out of luck. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Downline - GUI for youtube-dl
    e.g. - The top Google result, namely MrS0m30n3/youtube-dl-gui seems to be unmaintained - Tartube looks really powerful, but it's not quite what I'd have in mind when thinking about a really nice looking GUI. I do understand that that's more of a fault of the underlying tech, aka Gtk 3 - jely2002/youtube-dl-gui looks really nice, I'll probably check it out. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Convert mkv to mp4
    I updated Tartube's classic mode just yesterday, you can find it on github: https://github.com/axcore/tartube. Source: over 2 years ago
  • I clicked the wrong link
    You can also use these to download media from different websites: Https://github.com/axcore/tartube - Cross platform Https://f-droid.org/packages/org.yausername.dvd/ - Android. Source: almost 3 years ago
  • I have an error saying ublock is blocking something needed.
    Use https://github.com/axcore/tartube or https://github.com/oleksis/youtube-dl-gui and not that outdated one. Source: almost 3 years ago
  • Any forks of youtube-dl-gui that support using youtube-dlp?
    Media-downloader and tartube both work natively with yt-dlp. Most other GUIs including yt-dlg also technically support it as long as you manually replace their youtube-dl.exe with the yt-dlp executable. Source: almost 3 years ago
