This is S tier software. I remember using this on a laptop with 2gb RAM years ago. The combo of mpv and youtube-dl could deal with large number of sites (not just youtube), when even the browser struggled.
- Sporktacular 2y agoI think youtube-dl is no longer under development. Any suggestions for an alternative?
- mzajc 2y agoyoutube-dl is still under development (last commit at the time of writing was 2 weeks ago), but there are forks with more features, such as yt-dlp.[1] [1] https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp
- natrys 2y agoyt-dlp[1] has now taken on that mantle. I think mpv nowadays just recognises yt-dlp as the de facto alternative, but if yours doesn't then you can just put this in your mpv.conf: script-opts=ytdl_hook-ytdl_path=yt-dlp [1] https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp
