Ask HN: What do you use to download videos?
Sometimes I want to download a video, but there is no download option most of the time. How do you download videos?
I pay for YouTube premium and Nebula which both let me download videos. I use it to save videos for when I travel. I also sometimes live off grid with a Starlink and I'll download videos so I can turn Starlink off to save power.
Literally Using ffmpeg to download m3u8 videos these days. Whenever they need a header i proxy that url via nginx
Yt-dlp ftw!
An app called ClipGrab works well enough for me:
ytp-dl for everything
The correct spelling is yt-dlp: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp
Is that an executable? Isn't there an extension which can do it? The ones I searched from chrome store don't seem to work.
It can be. It is a python program from here https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp
Synology’s download manager - which is an amalgamation of tools, but for video it’s ytp-dl
It works great.
