I think command line utilities will usually be the last to receive active counter measures as they are generally considered to be used only by geeks which constitute a negligible percent of consumers.

Youtube-dl has lots of GUI frontends and is embedded in easy to use Android apps.

  I don't use the Play Store but a friend recently asked me for a youtube-dl frontend for Android (using other words), care to name some?

    Well, should we be listing the related Apps here? > the first rule of youtube-dl is not to talk about youtube-dl

      There are ~40 hits for "youtube-dl" in Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=youtube-dl&c=apps https://play.google.com/store/search?q=youtube-dl&c=apps But I agree that people might have mixed feelings on pointing to the ones that work better. I made another search, through DuckDuckGo, and got a hit that's not among those ~40 and looks good: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aviddapp.one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aviddapp.o... Am I hurting them by linking, or any of you for adding feedback?

        Problem is, just because something is "in the Play Store" doesn't mean it is harmless. It could, for example, contain trackers. So, yes, we should discuss and link them.

        Ark tube is a good front-end for youtube-dl https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/paid-software/app-arktube-ultimate-youtube-downloader-t3321818 https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/paid-software/app-a...

    Not the GP, but NewPipe is the one I'm familiar with. It's available on F-Droid.
    - severine 8y ago
      I use NewPipe, but my friend does not sideload apps or use F-Droid, that's why I'm asking for Play Store options.

        It's unlikely that you will find a long standing play store app with youtube-dl built in.

    The Play Store doesn't allow YouTube downloaders, so I doubt you'll find any good ones there. The moment one gets popular, it's taken down.

      It's a bit hacky and out of reach to most casual users, but you can get YouTube-DL to work with Termux. I have it set so that whenever I use the Termux share intent from another app, it use the shared URL and calls YouTube-DL with some parameters I want. ~/bin/termux-url-opener #!/bin/bash url=$1 youtube-dl $url ~/.config/youtube-dl/config # Default Output Directory and Pattern -o /data/data/com.termux/files/home/storage/downloads/%(extractor_key)s/%(uploader)s/%(title)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s
