edit: Guys, I now yt-dlp
is the way to go, but is there a gui front end for yt-dlp
with all the options that I get on cli?
Or else, just advice me on how to use the yt-dlp
cli
I need the best audio-quality and I want it to be webm and want it to be downloaded with transcripts too, so what should I do?
I tried this snap video-downloader
and it was able to download a webm file and it’s amazing. I love it. But, I am not sure if it’s the best quality I can get. I was wondering what Linux native software you used to download Youtube audio in it’s best quality.
btw, when I downloaded the .webm
file, I got it along with the transcribed text and it plays in the place where video subs play and it’s quite nice.
Something else
https://www.makeuseof.com/download-youtube-videos-yt-dlp-linux-terminal/
Removes all sponsors
and downloads the best audio into Videos/yt-dlp
cd Videos/yt-dlp &* youtube-dlp yt-dlp -x --audio-quality=0 --sponsorblock-mark all --sponsorblock-remove all [YOUTUBE-URL] && cd ~
sudo snap video-downloader
Video-downloader snap downloads the package Video-Downloader and this can be opened through terminal (you can create a .desktop file through menulibre
for this)
And all videos with varying degree of quality can be downloaded here. But, this doesn’t include sponsorblocks so idk, use yt-dlp here too, but I don’t download videos so I don’t really care for this.
Another vote for
yt-dlp
It works with ffmpeg and you can choose the quality you want to download from Youtube. Also its nice if you want to record a livestream as its being broadcast. Its also not limited to just Youtube either, it seems to work on lots of sites.
amazing. Thank you!
hey, I am sorry, is there a gui for yt-dlp with all the options it has in the cli? I found it very confusing to read and understand the whole read.md

-x --audio-quality=0 --sponsorblock-mark CATS=all --sponsorblock-remove CATS=all
but, I want webm with best quality, so what should my command be?
yt-dlp -f bestaudio video_url
will download the highest quality audio format available. You don’t want to reencode the audio, that will reduce the quality. On most videos, the best audio will be opus in a webm container.thank you!!
There are some. I’ve used this one and some other I couldn’t find right now
