- jck 4y agoI am not a fan of this pattern - if I'm understanding correctly, you would have to part with all of yt-dlp's niceties like playlist/channel handling, quality selection, file naming, logging config etc. Why not just use the whisper cli on yt-dlp CLI's output for videos with bad or no subtitles?
- cercatrova 4y agoSure you could do that too. yt-whisper uses yt-dlp underneath so there might be a way to pass arguments to the inner yt-dlp instance. Or if not you can modify the source directly, it seems to be a simple wrapper. Or again you can do what you were saying, using the Whisper CLI. All good options, I just mentioned this one since it's easier if I just want to download a video with subs.
