scastillo / not-youtube-dl Goto Github PK

RIAA's decision to remove youtube-dl from GitHub sets a dangerous precedent for open source software on the internet. Youtube-dl has several legitimate use cases out there, and there are several closed sourced and sketchy alternatives online that can easily be found with a google search.

Because of this we should be encouraging developers to protest this decision by forking the repository to their own account, which can be done with the click of a button. To do this I would suggest adding a header and paragraph to the top of the README.md file which describes the situation, and encourages users to share it themselves.

Hi, are you considering supporting YouTube downloads in the future?

I'm not sure if this is the right place or not and the ytdl website really has no contact info. I need to let someone know because this is a big issue for me.

The ytdl package is downloading playlists, homepages and sometimes even recommended channels when I download certain channels. ytuser:JonnyAtma is a good example. I am getting videos from Tee Lopes and playlists and all sorts of other stuff I don't want. A sample of the log. Right now I am using --no-playlist as a workaround however not only does this not completely solve the issue but it will block playlist elements from the videos on the channel which sometimes I want depending on the content.

This only became an issue since the last update and I looked over the changelog where I could find a copy and it said they reworked the downloading module. So I think the problem is in there somewhere.

If this is a feature instead of a bug (and I could see why) a switch really needs to be included to only download the channel videos instead of the entire channel.

MSVCR100 dll is the requirement for the windows installation.

Hello! Since this is not a youtube-dl repo, I figured I wouldn't ask my question here. I put in a channel link, and it says the following: [youtube:channel] UCIcgBZ9hEJxHv6r_jDYOMqg: Downloading channel page [youtube:playlist] UUIcgBZ9hEJxHv6r_jDYOMqg: Downloading webpage [download] Downloading playlist: UUIcgBZ9hEJxHv6r_jDYOMqg [youtube:playlist] playlist UUIcgBZ9hEJxHv6r_jDYOMqg: Downloading 0 videos [download] Finished downloading playlist: UUIcgBZ9hEJxHv6r_jDYOMqg

Can you help with this please? Thanks!

maybe change to this

I'm willing to find out if ytdl allows the download of a specific part of the video ? (ie : specify start time & end time).

If not, may I turn this into an enhancement request ?

Subsequent question : what about subtitles ? Is it possible to extract them ?
