Heads-up for the #PeerTube community, it appears Google has been blocking many tools/IP ranges that try to synchronize with YouTube. At least for the creators on #tilvids this is a massive challenge, because they can no longer sync THEIR content on multiple platforms, requiring them to manually upload to both TILvids AND #youtube We appreciate our creators going the extra mile, and please remember this is why it's so important to support alternative platforms. https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/6522 #tech

    Is there a gui interface for that anywhere? I really can’t be bothered to learn the command line just to download a couple vids here and there. Especially when freetube still works for now. But if the barrier to entry was a little lower, I’d start backing up faves.

      The basic command is just yt-dlp 'www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ' tho.

          I’ve actually never looked into yt-dlp’s default behaviour, as I’ve always been happy with the video and audio quality of the downloaded video. Probing the downloaded video from the command in my comment above yields for the video Video: vp9 (Profile 0) (vp09 / 0x39307076), yuv420p(tv, bt709), 1920x1080, 3751 kb/s, 25 fps, 25 tbr, 16k tbn (default), and for the audio Audio: aac (LC) (mp4a / 0x6134706D), 44100 Hz, stereo, fltp, 128 kb/s (default).
