I know it sounds incredibly picky, but given it's supposed to be a drop-in youtube-dl replacement, it's quite annoying to suddenly change the name to something as hard to remember as yt-dlp instead of, say, youtube-dlp. I will be mixing it up every time I'll google it, I guess. Not to mention it messes with naming scheme of bash scripts and aliases I already have.

alias it?

  I alias "youtube-dt <options>" to "yt-<something>". i guess a lot of people do. I won't be surprised if I already have some yt-dlp among the other variations. Also, I already said it's not hte only problem. So suddenly naming the thing itself yt-dlp is a "fuck you".

  Here's the aliases that I typically use. I'm very pleased to see that yt-dlp added --split-chapters, it's great for separating long videos into separate songs! e.g. the Faça Você Mesmo EP from Under Control, a Brazilian punk rock bank https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSHEZ_HdjHs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSHEZ_HdjHs alias yt-mp3='yt-dlp --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 --split-chapters --no-check-certificate' alias youtube-mp3='youtube-dl --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 ' alias youtube-mp4='youtube-dl -f "bestvideo[ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/mp4"' alias youtube-mp4-480p='youtube-dl -f "bestvideo[height<=480]+bestaudio/best[height<=480]"' alias youtube-playlist='youtube-dl -f "bestvideo[ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/mp4" -ciw -o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" -v ' #alias ffmpeg-mkv=find . -type f -name "*.mkv" -exec bash -c 'FILE="$1"; ffmpeg -i "${FILE}" -vn -c:a libmp3lame -y "${FILE%.mkv}.mp3";' _ '{}' \; #alias ffmpeg-webm=find . -type f -iname "*.webm" -exec bash -c 'FILE="$1"; ffmpeg -i "${FILE}" -vn -ab 128k -ar 44100 -y "${FILE%.webm}.mp3";' _ '{}' \; #alias ffmpeg-mp3=find . -type f -iname "*.mp4" -exec bash -c 'FILE="$1"; ffmpeg -i "${FILE}" -vn -y "${FILE%.mp4}.mp3";' _ '{}' \;

Honestly, I think they should've fully changed the name while at it. youtube-dl is such an antiquated name that doesn't even fit the tool anymore, as it now supports thousands of sources.

I've switched very recently, but searching "youtube-dlp" still got me the answer I was looking for. I will admit I've typed "you [tab]" and gotten confused why it wasn't working almost every time so far, but I imagine that'll change in under a week.
