Yt-dlp is a youtube-dl fork based on the now inactive youtube-dlc. The main focus of this project is adding new features and patches while also keeping up to date with the original project.

yt-dlp is a small command-line program to download videos from YouTube.com and other sites that don't provide direct links to the videos served.

yt-dlp allows the user, among other things, to choose a specific video quality to download (if available) or let the program automatically determine the best (or worst) quality video to grab. It supports downloading entire playlists and all videos from a given user.

Currently supported sites (or features of sites) are:

Semplicemente spettacolare, ci scarico quasi di tutto

Very out of date and thus broken. From 2022, it's 2024 now and YouTube has changed a lot as well as the other decoders. I don't know how this was installed, since I didn't do manually.

Outdated package, follow the installation guide on the Github's page of the project to have the latest release.

Unfortunately, while it started after installing the brotli python 3 version, it was out of date. I followed the instructions on the yt-dlp github wiki but I had to change it to /usr/bin instead of /usr/local/bin to get it to start. I'm not good enough at linux to know if that's a good or bad idea or not, but it got things working and I got the video downloaded.
