>yt-dlp is a youtube-dl fork based on the now inactive youtube-dlc. The main focus of this project is adding new features and patches while also keeping up to date with the original project
yt-dlc's last commit was only 4 days ago, from the project owner. What are the advantages of each, and what about other forks out there?
- sbarre 5y agoThe README covers most of these questions FYI
- prvc 5y agoThe above quotation is from README.md in the yt-dlp repository, which does list some differences, but I get the sense this is not the full story.

While the July update dealt with the updater, having 2 days of small changes since December is not very active. As far as the advantages, there are plenty of comments now outlining them better than I could. For me there are many additional sites that work with yt-dlp that do not work with the other forks. I found myself using this fork more and more instead of youtube-dl due to the additional support, until I've now made it my default. It does have a compat mode so if you use a lot of youtube-dl switches that yt-dlp may of removed or depreciated in the cleanup, they will still usually work if applicable with this fork as well.
