Downloading "The Story of Python" from YouTube
Yesterday I installed yt-dlp
from MacPorts as follows:
sudo port install -v yt-dlp
After a very long wait the installation of yt-dlp was ready.
The program can be used to download videos from a large number of
sites, including YouTube. It is a fork of youtube-dl. Since I can
recall that command easier, I added the following to my .zshrc:
alias youtube-dl='yt-dlp'
And today I used the following command to download The Story of Python:
youtube-dl \
https://youtu.be/GfH4QL4VqJ0
Note that youtube-dl is an alias for yt-dlp in the above command.
I downloaded the movie so I can watch it without commercials on our TV
via a Raspberry PI running an older version of
LibreELEC. The
download of the video and merging took 33 minutes and 31 seconds. The
resulting video has extension webm so I hope LibreELEC can play it.
