Since yt-dlp doesn’t work anymore, is there a replacement?

    It still works for now. I’m in emergency hoard-shit-for-no-good-reason mode

    Are you having issues? Because I’ve covered almost every error in my own attempts

      I get 403 when I try to use it. I normally use ytdl-sub and youtubedl-material, but those stopped working so I tried doing it just straight from the command line, and it doesn’t work anywhere.

      I watched some old Minecraft let’s play a while back and I think it’s gone forever now. Really wish I had somehow downloaded a copy before it just bleeped out.

    yt-dlp supports passing on cookies from your browser, oncw you’ve logged in at least once.

    There’s also GrayJay on Android.

    Of course it still works. I used it a minute before I posted this.

    I’ve been using pinchflat which is essentially a front end for yt-dlp and it’s been working fine for me. Mind you, i have all YouTube traffic from pinchflat running through a vpn to a different country so but that’s because that system also sails the high seas 🏴‍☠️😂

      I think I read awhile ago YouTube is testing a change that renders programs like yt-dlp completely useless, but I’m fuzzy on the detail
