edit: Guys, I now yt-dlp
is the way to go, but is there a gui front end for yt-dlp
with all the options that I get on cli?
Or else, just advice me on how to use the yt-dlp
cli
I need the best audio-quality and I want it to be webm and want it to be downloaded with transcripts too, so what should I do?
I tried this snap video-downloader
and it was able to download a webm file and it’s amazing. I love it. But, I am not sure if it’s the best quality I can get. I was wondering what Linux native software you used to download Youtube audio in it’s best quality.
btw, when I downloaded the .webm
file, I got it along with the transcribed text and it plays in the place where video subs play and it’s quite nice.
Something else
https://www.makeuseof.com/download-youtube-videos-yt-dlp-linux-terminal/
Removes all sponsors
and downloads the best audio into Videos/yt-dlp
cd Videos/yt-dlp &* youtube-dlp yt-dlp -x --audio-quality=0 --sponsorblock-mark all --sponsorblock-remove all [YOUTUBE-URL] && cd ~
sudo snap video-downloader
Video-downloader snap downloads the package Video-Downloader and this can be opened through terminal (you can create a .desktop file through menulibre
for this)
And all videos with varying degree of quality can be downloaded here. But, this doesn’t include sponsorblocks so idk, use yt-dlp here too, but I don’t download videos so I don’t really care for this.
Compare with yt-dlp from GitHub. It works from the command line and you can control the quality level you want.
thank you I will give it a go
edit: I need a gui which has all the features of the
yt-dlp
cli but is easier to understand, does this give you any ideas?Now that you mention it, I wish I had the same!
