  Just use yt-dlp.exe url.

  Also, there’s a dedicated youtube-dl Community: !youtubedl@lemm.ee

    That comm looks abandoned? Last post was 9mo ago.

      Well, they’ll probably see it. I think Lemmy users should post there too to trigger them. The Reddit counterpart Mods with those same names are active in the Subreddit counterpart, not just by Mod activity but they’re actually knowledgeable of yt-dlp usage and other programs like Python, and they actually answer/reply there. So hopefully the Lemmy counterpart becomes active too, like at least cross post.

    @A32topsL That doesn't download av1 by default no? I've also downloaded some of the videos before with no problems

      Ah, alright. Try yt-dlp.exe -S vcodec:av01. Note however, not all YouTube videos have AV1 counterparts, and then other sites use different code for AV1.

  Do you have ffmpeg installed?

  I forget the flags, but I think you can list all formats with the -F, then select the ones you want be downloaded using the id number and the flag -f. and use a + if you want ffmpeg to merge an audio and video track together. Would that help?
