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 in the readme. There's a compatibility mode built-in too.
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.
