I was planning on using either the one by from github or stacher.
update: I have setup the one by kannagi0303 from github, seems to do the job. Still can’t figure out downloading subtitles using gui and using the yt-dlp terminal version for that.

Bash lol
Linux user ?
Windows user?
Yes, I don’t understand the language of you god’s. Should’ve picked linux years ago when I got my first PC.
Bash is a shell, like command prompt/powershell on WIn
You can download a VM program, like Virtualbox, and then create a VM and install Linux on it (I recommend Debian), that way you can learn little by little.
They are not that different. The concepts are portable.
Both. Powershell when I’m using Windows.
I just use command line honestly.
I wasn’t aware it had subtitle support though. What’s the command for downloading those?
Download Subtitles: yt-dlp --write-sub --sub-lang (language code) (video URL) Doesn’t work for videos with auto generated subs.
Automatic subtitles are also possible to grab by using
--write-auto-sub, example:
yt-dlp --write-auto-sub [video url]This next example will attempt to download English subtitles and if that fails, downloads the automatic subtitles instead:
yt-dlp --sub-lang en --write-sub --write-auto-sub [video url]Note - you can not download automatic subtitles at the same time as language subtitles, which means if you wanted English and automatic I’d recommend the
--skip-downloadflag for the second command, which will prevent downloading the entire video again:
yt-dlp --sub-lang en --write-sub [video url]
yt-dlp --write-auto-sub --skip-download [video url]
Same here. I never needed a gui for it cause I simply drag and dropped over mpv and it handled the streaming. In fact it download subs on its own
“GUI? For yt-dlp? No. No, hell no man. No, I imagine someone would get their ass kicked for saying something like that”
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with using GUI tools, they can display a lot more handleable info at once
None GUI. Just use a terminal!
The CLI is simple enough that I don’t really bug with any GUI abstractions. I used tubesync for a while on unRAID with pretty decent success, but I eventually ran into some limitations and ended switching to a cron job.
Command line. I even use termux for Android but I wanna try out seal some time
Seal’s fantastic, been using it for months now.
These heathens are in here typing out verbose commands and not setting up aliases.
Terminator
I just have an alias stored in the bashrc file. One for audio and one for 1080p video.
I use a couple .bat files that I pre-wrote. Good enough for 95% of my needs.
zshwith a few aliasesyt-dlg works well for me: https://yt-dlg.github.io/yt-dlg/
NewTerm 3 and zsh on my iPad. What’s a GUI?
Graphical user Interface for people who don’t want to use a command line.
boooo!
I use Stacher
