WDYM you've had difficulty?? Isn't it just --embedded-subs or something?
Maybe the command line version is consistent, but day to day I prefer not to do command line. I've tried like 5 different GUIs and they all have failed downloads, incorrect formats, and other issues just doing test downloads. I don't know why, but it's been a problem every time for me.
Well there's your problem.
Learn how to actually use a computer.
Huh... That's really not nice.
True, that guy seems like a jerk
Also, if you only want the highest quality using the command line version is easy as running
yt-dlp "link"
for example:
yt-dlp "https://m.youtube.com/watchv=dQw4w9WgXcQ"
Although it needs ffmpeg too for certain websites that have seperate audio and video streams. Maybe that's why your previous experiences have been wonky
If you want to use a computer you're going to need to learn how to use it.
It's not reasonable to expect maintainers of a very nice Python CLI tool to also maintain a GUI that works perfectly with it. Just look at the manpage if you need to find an option.
