yt-dlc

Indeed, "eska!" & Here are the two (most widely known-to-date) ports of "youtube-dl": "yt-dlp" and "youtube-dlc" However; in order to avoid any issues. For both, you're gunna want to completely uninstall "youtube-dl" and remove any remnants of it from your system. To do so, For those using Linux, start by removing the "/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl" directory; Then, if found on your system, remove "/etc/youtube-dl" too. For those using Windows, uninstall "youtube-dl" entirely by removing the "youtube-dl" directory found in your "\Program Files\" folder, manually using explorer or via the command prompt. (Or which ever directory that your installer or build had previously installed "youtube-dl" to). Finally, now you may being your journey--to the PROMISE LAND! DANIEL SON! Go ahead and now install one of the following "youtube-dl" ports (Instal

https://github.com/blackjack4494/yt-dlc/commits/master The previous update was July 25, and the one before that was December 2020. While the July update dealt with the updater, having 2 days of small changes since December is not very active. As far as the advantages, there are plenty of comments now outlining them better than I could. For me there are many additional sites that work with yt-dlp that do not work with the other forks. I found myself using this fork more and more instead of youtube-dl due to the additional support, until I've now made it my default. It does have a compat mode so if you use a lot of youtube-dl switches that yt-dlp may of removed or depreciated in the cleanup, they will still usually work if applicable with this fork as well.

this is why it was forked a bit before the takedown, youtube-dlc contains fixes not in main youtube-dl. the guy who forked it tried to help but got banned from posting and helping out. https://github.com/blackjack4494/yt-dlc as of last youtube-dl version, the main youtube-dl behaves differently if you simply point it to a youtube channel, while youtube-dlc behaves as you'd expect... i keep both around for now.

> I hope that the DMCA takedown issue can be resolved reasonably, I don't think it can be solved on Github. "GitHub’s CEO suggested that YouTube-DL won’t be reinstated in its original form. But, the software may be able to return without the rolling cipher circumvention code and the examples of how to download copyrighted material." https://torrentfreak.com/riaas-youtube-dl-takedown-ticks-of-... This pretty much makes youtube-dl useless, since the "rolling cipher" is just downloading the same bit of js, inspecting it, and executing it, almost the way a web browser does (AIUI, the difference is that yt-dl inspects the js and picks out the function to run from it instead of just running it all verbatim). This counts as circumvention according to the DMCA, which leaves yt-dl little legal standing in the US. Also note that the "examples of ho

This repos removed the famous tests some days ago under a commit message "COMPLAINFREE". These tests can be found by looking at the git history: https://github.com/blackjack4494/yt-dlc/commit/dd2d55f10dac8... Would it be safer to thoroughly delete these tests from the git history?
