Good thing I handle all that at the router!
Not same domain ads.
Yeah it doesn't get everything, but it gets the vast majority of stuff and I'm ok with that. I've been working hard at pulling down the videos I want from YouTube and uploading them to my peertube instance so I don't need to use YouTube directly anymore most of the time.
What tools do you use for downloading? There are a ton of channels I would love to download all the content from. If I could point a tool at a list and just let it do it's thing, that would be great.
yt-dlp has been working pretty well for me thus far.
And remember to read the help page. You can do batch downloading IIRC with the -a flag pointed at a text file like urls.txt
Put one video per line and it will just chug away grabbing them all for you so you don't have to type the command over and over again.
Rock on. Thanks!
You can even tweak how it saves the files, what format it outputs, whether it retains subtitles (if they are included in the video), and you can make it spit out a metadata file to go along with the video file which would be useful to keep track of the content or if you use some kind of video library management software that wants publishing date information, author, etc.
(Lol! You are true to your username. Do you need fast replies? This user is Online!)
That is perfect. Most of the videos I will be downloading are for electronics reference, so keeping them organized in my own crazy ways is really important. More options == more gooder.
