I’m looking to download a number of educational youtube videos for future reference. Looking for a reliable way to download videos. OS is Ubuntu. FF extensions and docker containers all good. I don’t really want to install an executable on bare metal unless it is a flatpak.
My goal is for the downloaded videos to be accessed locally via jellyfin. Jellyfin is already sorted.
Thanks in advance for your recommendations!
True, that guy seems like a jerk
Also, if you only want the highest quality using the command line version is easy as running
yt-dlp “link”
for example:
yt-dlp “https://m.youtube.com/watchv=dQw4w9WgXcQ”
Although it needs ffmpeg too for certain websites that have seperate audio and video streams. Maybe that’s why your previous experiences have been wonky
