>not an addon
No thanks

Brainlet

>needing clicky bloat for a simple function
pls leave

Probably.
Stopped using it a while ago, but got some weird popup ads on sites that should not ship fishy ads while this and ublock where to only addons I installed.
So now I'm just using

Just write some fucking userscript with a button that hands over the url to it and then gives you a "save" prompt.

>bloat
It's more convenient and lets you use it immediately through the browser, while also being able to download files of any extension and not just videos.

>less functionality
>more superfluous shit
>"muh convenience"
it's bloat

>less functionality
What

Any sort of GUI will always sacrifice versatility and functionality in place of "muh intuitiveness".

False

GUIs will always be limited in their options. Developers couldn't just cram every option there or people would start complaining.

doesnt even work on shady porn sites

If you use anything other than ytdl/ffmpeg you should just off yourself right now

does this work on other video sites like porn sites etc?

And we're talking about a simple downloader. So there's literally only 1 feature it needs... download

Works on Pornhub. On website not relying on MSE just download the video file.

>only 1 feature
you know very well that downloading isn't just that, m8
Look at the documentation of wget and youtube-dl. They all have features that are genuinely useful for the business of downloading. Meanwhile, your retarded gui occupies the same amount of space just for one colorful button.

Storage is a non-issue. If it was you wouldn't be downloading anything.

Storage is a non-issue, sure. Occupying more space and having less features is retarded. You're free to look and compare the documentation of your retarded extension and youtube-dl. Being unrestricted by some retarded gui bloat makes a simple program infinitely more powerful.

Flash get by same fag that made noscript

yes.

I only activate it when necessary. Antvideo is also cancer but fuck if it isn't convenient.

Can this extract videos from twatter?

Probably.
Its quite versatile. Gimme a twitter url and I'll try it.

Yes. They list the hundreds of sites it supports.

Neat. I'm going to assume it has options for quality and go put it somewhere for use.

Probably the only Sup Forums meme I am happy to fall for.

>Neat. I'm going to assume it has options for quality and go put it somewhere for use.
yep, use the -F option to list quality options
youtube-dl -F URL

dragging and dropping links works too, so how do i configure quality in this situation? not him btw

you take the code for the selected quality and put it in your command
[youtube-dl -f 137+43 URL[/code] or whatever numbers you want. Keep in mind when to use capital f and lowercase f.

nice numbers but how does it work for dragging and dropping? I literally open mpv and drop yt links on it to watch.

are you talking about streaming? in mpv you add a line in mpv.conf to set defaults. google for examples.

Yes. And thanks, I will look into it.

I think the defaults for streaming with mpv+youtube-dl is to always get the best quality.

I want to change it to 1080p or less. Some videos with 4k res are just waste of bandwidth on my monitor.
>inb4 get 4k monitor

mpv --ytdl-format=137+140 link
137+140 is just an example, you can list all available formats with youtube-dl -F link

put this in mpv.conf
ytdl-format=bestvideo[height

...

thank you to both of you. Cheers!

Worst-case scenario: Botnet.
Best-case scenario: Still inferior to youtube-dl.

As far as I know there still isn't a perfect GUI for youtube-dl. I don't think it's inherently a GUI vs CLI problem; a good GUI could absolutely exist for this tool.

guis limit flexibility but there is a few guis.
github.com/MrS0m30n3/youtube-dl-gui

Works on a decent amount of them.

Same

>being to retarded to locate the source file you need and just wget it:the thread

...

ugh, I have to use the command line? No thanks, I'm not a nerd. I need a nice, user-friendly interface like Video DownloadHelper, not some computer science shit

Here you go nu Sup Forums

Sorry unrelated, but how the fuck was that youtube site called where you can watch censored videos and not give views? Goddamn I can't fucking remember.

>github
I said no computer science shit but whatever. Thanks for nothing

This is a technology board. Fuck off

I use hooktube to stream with mpv+youtube-dl

No need to be so rude. I can smell you from here

Oh yes that was it, much obliged user.

>list the hundreds of sites it supports.

It's a little over a thousand.

>recommending a tool written in python
into_the_garbage_it_goes.jpeg

this is modern Sup Forums. amazing

Just check the number of streams youtube-dl shows you for a YouTube video compared to Video DownloadHelper, it's a lot more.

Also youtube-dl can remux streams using ffmpeg.
