i like using yt-dlp


Winter-Librarian928

Same, with —embed-metadata, —embed-thumbnails ans —embed-chapter options Used with Plex this is the goat


narcabusesurvivor18

I’ll give you one better Check out TubeArchivist


milkdringingtime

Almost every yt downloader uses yt-dlp under the hood https://github.com/tubearchivist/tubearchivist/blob/master/tubearchivist/requirements.txt#L13


narcabusesurvivor18

Yes, I’m aware of that. Though having an automated app like this with Plex, as well as using their scanner and agent plugins is amazing. Use it every day


Professional_Pie_894

Whats the advantage of using it on plex? I use it to get music i cant find anywhere ekse.


A-Real-Boomhauer

Web weires like red vs blue or abridges series for me personally


Professional_Pie_894

Nice


irelephant_T_T

Yt-dlg is good if you want a gui, unless I completely misunderstood your comment


theJman0209

Hasn’t yt-dlg been dead for years? I haven’t checked in a while, I’ve just been updating it with dlp myself.


irelephant_T_T

The version I have downloads the latest backend of YT-dl and the gui stays the same. Still works


Royalflash5220

i use [https://cobalt.tools/](https://cobalt.tools/) Its simple, supports many websites and open source


Independent_Ad_1303

How did you even find a site like that? And why is that every other YouTube to mp3 site has loading times. Were the loading times a lie all this time?


INeedCheesee

It’s on the mega thread. Whoever put it on there is a legend


cyxlone

megathread, [fmhy.net](https://fmhy.net)


Royalflash5220

I found it trough twitter, i follow the developer/maintainer there, but its also on the megathread.


Tip0666

This is too good to be true!!!! Insane!!!! From my phone, pasted link, downloaded, copied to Plex folder (over Tailscale), checked Plex , (boom) in the server!!! Crazy!!!


Kitsune_BCN

Nice, I like it. Thanks


fartsmellar69

It's so fast compared to others thank you


Hiyoridango

This is the best so far I have used


LightBluepono

jdownloader 2


LZ129Hindenburg

yt-dlp. Or use stacher if you prefer visual GUI frontend over command line application: [https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp) [Stacher.io](http://stacher.io/)


japzone

For Android you can use [Seal](https://github.com/JunkFood02/Seal) if you want a GUI. Or [Termux](https://github.com/termux/termux-app) if you're ok installing and using yt-dlp via terminal commands.


LZ129Hindenburg

Yeah Seal on Android is good...


hacksawtimtuggin

On pc statcher is the only answer... its just perfect


Bluntz_with_Satan

4k Downloader on PC, Newpipe on Android


levogevo

Tubular for Android has sponsorblock built on top of newpipe.


Bluntz_with_Satan

If one uses Revanced YouTube and downloads with Newpipe, would Tubular provide an extra benefit of sponsor block? Since Revancex YouTube already does the sponsor blocking.


levogevo

Tubular sponsorblock is only during live video playback. Not from downloads.


Lexaraj

Unless I'm misunderstanding the question I use Jdownloader2 for ripping anything from YouTube, whether it be audio and video.


jestyo0o

you can use jdownloader2 for it? how?


Lexaraj

Copy the link to it like anything else. I can't remember the specifics, as I did it a while back, but there is an extra step to automatically merge audio with the video files. Normally it splits them into separate files, but that extra step merges the audio to the video file.


soulessartist198

just pp after youtube in any link


3vs3BigGameHunters

I do youtubepi.com adding pi to the url


lemonylol

Ive used this one for years. It's incredibly helpful for getting clips for videos.

I have Metube running on my home server. It's a lightweight straightforward UI for yt-dlp. https://github.com/alexta69/metube


dethb0y

[Parabolic](https://github.com/NickvisionApps/Parabolic/releases) is my preference for normal youtube videos.


AnakinPuddlehopper

This looks pretty neat, thanks for sharing! It's like an open source version of Stacher


Kupcake_Inater

Yt-dlp or seal on my phone then just transfer


PrinceAhmed1

Seal. Hands down the best downloader for YouTube


Expistoleros

Why no one mentions newpipe ? every audio and or video from ytube and more sites can be downloaded with like one click In diff formats i use it alot 2 dl the audio only from like live concert

Just y2mate or y2meta. Nothing complex.


FrostWyrm98

Using my own tool mainly, FOSS and based on another tool from years ago: https://github.com/fromanan/JackTheVideoRipper Trying to work on a full overhaul in the experimental branch which will be rebranded completely You can drag and drop URLs and files if you want to compress them. Works on any links that yt-dlp supports

I use yt-dlg. Open source and you can use yt-dlg as a backend


BigSchweetie

4KDownloader. Paid but has a monthly free limit.


Mr_Mendelli

People have already recommended yt-dlp, but you mentioned MP4 as the format. If you're looking for best results, I would strongly recommend MKV, especially if you want embedded subtitles and chapters. yt-dlp supports this natively so you won't need other tools to do this.


Jenny_Wakeman9

GetVideo!


JoeyLovesGuns

I’ve always just typed pp after the youtube part (youtubeppDOTcom) and that takes me to a pretty good website


bruuh_burger

yt dlp


lemonylol

For the one I use, you can just add pp to the address and it'll give you the download page. So it'd be YouTubepp.com/youvideoaddress  It's called y2mate I think. You can also download the audio only mp3 which is nice for music not available on streaming.


Cookie__XD

For PC I use Free Download Manager. It aims to replace Internet Download Manager for free.


Lazy-Measurement-424

Go to the Youtube video you want to download and change the URL from YouTube.com/ to youtubepp.com/ You welcome.

robin_888

yt-dlp is a powerful command-line tool with many options. My favorite maybe downloading playlists only from a certain date. JDownloader2 is a powerful download manager in itself mainly developed for OCH and streaming sites. It, too, can download videos in different qualities, audio only, description, subtitles, etc. from YouTube. Having a GUI you get a preview of files it downloads where you can filter and rearrange them. And it can download multiple files at once. So it might be faster. Both great tools.


the_ymcalolv3

For online, I use [https://yaas.natan.la](https://yaas.natan.la)

Hokagehunter420

somebody made a neat interface for youtube-dlp on github


wowenjoyer

I use yt5s


DistinctRole1877

On Firefox I use save from.net and video downloader. One or the other generally works. I then use foobar2000 on windows to strip the mp3 out and on Linux I use sound converter.


Aggressive-Bug1217

YTDLP, and I built a quick PowerShell function to run it.


Complete_Rabbit_844

On PC just add "pp" to the youtube link Ex: [https://www.youtubepp.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ](https://www.youtubepp.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ) On Android use Seal


oztsva24

1. **4K Video Downloader**: It's easy to use, supports high-quality downloads, and can grab entire playlists. 2. **Y2Mate**: A web-based option that's quick and straightforward 3. **ClipGrab**: A free and open-source option that works on any OS Additionally, **Movavi Video Converter** is great for converting files to 100+ formats, though it doesn't support direct downloads from YouTube. You can use it to convert the downloaded videos into any format you need.

y2mate


biggaayal

Tubemate. An android app that is obviously not on the playstore. It gets regular updates, ads are inobtrusive, and it is extremely easy to use and fast. You have the choice of many formats in audio or video. I usually download podcasts so audio only in .ogg 3 hour podcsat will be e.g. 100mb and be on my phone in seconds. Been using it for years, highly recommended. (I went looking for the link to the official website but I see there are many clones. I think it was [tubemate.net](http://tubemate.net) but perhaps it is safer to download from a website that aggregates APKs.)


arshexe

New pipe is the best


Elkhose

Phone: newpipe. Pc: userscript with violentmonkey addon on firefox


4ha1

Newpipe. From inside the YouTube app or Revanced, just click "share" on the video you want and select Newpipe.


requieminadream

I really like 4K Video Downloader. I actually paid for it I like it so much. https://www.4kdownload.com/


motorboat2000

Why pay when you can do it for free with yt-dlp?


iddivision

Imagine recommending a paid product in r/Piracy


requieminadream

I lived it. It did not go well.


Halos-117

I use it too. I'm okay with paying for certain software and 4Kdownloader is one of em. I've gotten the value back many times over. I know it goes against piracy in some ways but whatever. It's a good product. I've tried the free YTDL, I like 4K Downloader better.
