Huh? As I understand, youtube-dl and browser both use the same method to access the content. Either both use standard method or both hack the system.

- gamblor956 6y agoNo, they don't. The browser accesses the content directly from the website, and currently stores it in a cache folder on the user's computer. (The caching step isn't necessary but eliminates the need to re-download portions of the content.) Youtube-dl accesses the content from the cache directory after the browser has cached the content.
- dredmorbius 6y agoThis is an incorrect description of youtube-dl's function.
