 ==== Video ====
 YTDL will automatically grab the best-quality version, so often ''youtube-dl [url]'' is sufficient.
+If you want to choose which format with ''-f'' it likely will be ''video only'', so you have to pick an audio  stream too, you can grab them both and have them merged by using a [;us symbol, eg: ''ytdlp -f 123+456 [youtube id]''

+  * [[https://oleksis.github.io/youtube-dl-gui/|yt-dlg]] - [[Python]].
   * [[github>Rudloff/alltube]] - Seems overly complicated?
