====== Yt-dlp ======
Fork of [[youtube-dl]], and thus a 'Great tool for downloading from [[youtube]], and elsewhere.'

Generally it functions the same. My config live in ''~/.config/yt-dlp/config'', and the commands I have there work the same. Byt default it actually saves files with a //slightly// different naming scheme. Other differences are listed [[github>yt-dlp/yt-dlp#differences-in-default-behavior|in the readme]]. There's a compatibility mode built-in too.

===== Uses =====

NB: More examples are still on the [[youtube-dl]] page.

''yt-dlp [video] --skip-download --write-subs|--write-auto-subs'' to download only a timestamped transcript.

''yt-dlp -a [file]'' to download from list of URLs in a file.
