Yesterday, yt-dlp started failing when downloading and automatically extracting audio to mp3.
sudo pacman -Syu
yt-dlp updated and working again. Arch is awesome. It took less than 24 hours to get the program update.
By the way, Google: screw you and your updates to "improve" YT.

Ok, I’m procrastinating downloading a bunch of vids with yt-dlp and at this point I’m already reaching the tabs limit on this Safari profile
What’d be the best way of downloading a bunch of videos with yt-dlp while still keeping a good control of what failed and what succeeded? (this is basically impossible from its output if you feed it a bunch of links in a single go)
I was wanting a webui I could selfhost and it’d show progress and status for each video it’s downloading (and let me pass custom options to the yt-dlp command, such as filename), but should I just make a script with a for loop for each URL instead?

Here’s a link if anyone wants to take a look: https://github.com/LuNeder/nixos-config/tree/strawberry/Yoke/services/yt-dlp
(the .py file there is the only thing that’s LLM-generated, but that’s a quite significant portion of this downloader)

I started using MeTube which is a web-based front-end for yt-dlp. It runs on my NAS and I can easily use a browser to feed it URLs that then get dumped directly to a share on my network.

Is there any way to run yt-dlp on CWed mastodon toots? It runs fine on non-CWed ones
