i haven’t tested, but does yt-dlp play nicely with mpv the same way the original does?
- gourlaysama 5y ago
  Yes, it works the same. Since mpv 0.34 it even looks for yt-dlp first, and fallback to youtube-dl otherwise. Before that you had to set an option, or just symlink youtube-dl to yt-dlp.

      --script-opts=ytdl_path=/path/to/yt-dlp Symlinking either into ~/.config/mpv/ (or wherever your mpv config is) should also work.
  - BrazzVuvuzela 5y ago
    mpv packages in linux distros seem to be pulling in yt-dlp now too; at least on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, the mpv package recommends yt-dlp and not youtube-dl. On one hand I'm sad to see youtube-dl's demise. But its prompt replacement gives me hope for the strength of the community to overcome whatever challenges the IP industry might present.

    great. One `pipx` shuffle and `mpv-build` later, and we’re off to the races.

Original youtube-dl got throttled by youtube, dlp currently doesn't. Can't work out from the release notes if this is fixed.

  I think yt-dlp uses multiple simultanous connections, just like you could do with youtube-dl and, for example, aria2[1] youtube-dl --external-downloader=aria2c --external-downloader-args '--min-split-size=1M --max-connection-per-server=16 --max-concurrent-downloads=16 --split=16' xlvbT8dv5Gc [1] https://aria2.github.io/ https://aria2.github.io/

    No. Also, I tried that with youtube-dl but it doesn't work reliably (throttling still takes effect, with all but one connection simply timing out). [1] yt-dlp uses a different method than youtube-dl (I believe it uses the API used by the Android app, instead of by the youtube.com website).

        Clever is rarely a good idea. If this isn't a public it might just be totally broken instead of throttled.

        If they're accurately reproducing the behavior of the Android app, Google can't change or remove that API without breaking versions of the app that people already have installed. (And a lot of Android users will hang on to old versions of apps basically forever.)

Does anyone know if the two groups tried working together at one point? I know they have some disagreement over sponserblock, but beyond that was there any attempt to recruit the dlp people?
