I used to use YouTube Downloader but it seems to have shit the bed and isn't updated.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/app-free-android7-0-youtube-downloader-v8-1.2335450/

Wondering if anyone has any recommended Android app they use and a URL to download said app?

yt-dlp inside termux?

[-] TheFool@infosec.pub 1 points 2 months ago

ytdlp.online

Is there a reason one would use yt-dlp instead of the many other easier options, really wondering what Im missing. There's Seal , newpipe and others

[-] princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 months ago

There's a lot of downstream applications that do just use yt-dlp behind the scenes. I'm pretty sure that's how Invidious' download function works. It also supports a metric shitload more services: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/blob/master/supportedsites.md

Not one in particular, just the first thing that came to mind since I use it a lot on linux. I even use NewPipe on android, didn't even remember it had an option to download

Not used this but it seems like a wrapper for YT-DLP for Android which I use all the time on the desktop:

YTDLnis (Android Video/Audio Downloader app using yt-dlp) https://f-droid.org/packages/com.deniscerri.ytdl/

??? No such App found is all I get. Do I need to add another repo to find it ?

[-] hasty3827@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It's on izzyondroid repo: https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.deniscerri.ytdl

Also I highly reccomend it, it even integrates sponsorblock so you can download only the parts without ads or intros.

I searched for "YTDLnis" inside my F-Droid client (Droid-ify) and it worked.

[-] American_Jesus@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

YTDLnis the best yt-dlp frontend for Android. I use it for some time

[-] Walking_coffin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago

I made a rough guide of my setup for someone wanting to download videos from their browser. Since Seal uses yt-dlp, it will work with Youtube as well.

Hope this can help you out

[-] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 months ago

Been using Seal for a long time now, works pretty well. Nice mobile interface as well.

[-] Yuki@kutsuya.dev 3 points 2 months ago

I mostly use websites for this or my computer with jdownloader.

[-] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah but I'd be be out, hear a song, download it and then it's on my playlist minutes later as an MP3.

Newpipe does M4A only AFAIK (recommended by another user)

[-] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

If you want something fancy, check out Seal or YTDLnis. I simply use yt-dlp in a Termux session.

NewPipe and forks of it like Tubular also have a download feature.

The best way to download YouTube videos is Yt-dlp, and the best way to use it on android is trough this app : https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.deniscerri.ytdl
