- moviuro 8y agoFWIW, youtube-dl can download from a ton of sites... https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html
- zacmps 8y agoYou can actually download the ads with YouTube-dl... I believe it's YouTube only and still named as 'experimental', but theoretically it could be a default to appease the big G.
- savoytruffle 8y agoBut surely they arrive as separate files, and not interspersed in the main video. So it's implausible they'd ever be watched.
- skinnymuch 8y agoYes they would most likely arrive as separate files. Though YouTube-dl could force their main codebase to merge the videos. Regardless from looking around it doesn’t look like ads are downloaded.
- skinnymuch 8y agoDo you know where to find this or if this is definitely true? I tried looking around before and YouTube-dl didn’t have any ad downloading ability. I just tried looking now and at first glance it doesn’t look like it does. Nothing in the changelog for past year either.
- naikrovek 8y agoIt can download ads. It is a command line option.
