# yt-dlp

yt-dlp is a [youtube-dl](https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl) fork based on the now inactive [youtube-dlc](https://github.com/blackjack4494/yt-dlc). The main focus of this project is adding new features and patches while also keeping up to date with the original project

## Install

```shell
sudo apt install ffmpeg lame #dependencies that are nice to have
sudo wget https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download/yt-dlp -O /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp && sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp
```

## Extract audio from YouTube video

```shell
youtube-dl --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 -o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" <URL>
```

## Download full album from YouTube Music

```shell
yt-dlp --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 -o "%(playlist_index)s - %(title)s.%(ext)s" <URL of Playlist>
```

This one grabs the metadata (which includes YouTube Music URL in the comments) and best audio

```shell
yt-dlp -f "bestaudio" --extract-audio --embed-metadata --audio-format mp3 -o "%(playlist_index)s - %(title)s.%(ext)s" <URL of playlist>
```

## Download all parts of a multistream

```shell
yt-dlp -S "res:480" <url>
```
