I made this Python menu-driven CLI script for yt-dlp. It guides you through a series of menus to download content from a YouTube URL.

If anyone is interested, feedback would be greatly appreciated as only I have tested this so far, and I want to make sure it works for other people’s systems.

If you encounter any issues or bugs, let me know so I can fix them!

Edit: I should mention: This is not a pipx package. That was never the intention developing this initially. I might make it a package in the future, but for now, it is just a project directory.

    I tried to run it but it wouldn’t on the version of python I have.

    If you could bring yourself to use if … elif … etc instead of match then it could run it on much older versions of python.

        Using match is virtue signaling that have no intention of creating a working package.

        What’s next on the list of crap could all live without?

          I’m testing different Python versions to see what the minimum is for yt-dlp-adv is. I know 3.10 is when they added match-case, so 3.9 isn’t supported. Will update README with minimum working version after I’m done testing.

      Why? It’s not a package? There are no tests or anything else. It’s held together with duct tape, hope, and good intentions. So of course it’ll not work as intended.
