Yeah... I'm using this pretty much exclusively now.

Why?

Why not ?

Actually tbh I'm not sure what you're asking -- maybe I was too brief ?
I was looking for this thread, couldn't remember the yaydl name and tried a forum search for 'youtube downloader'. This thread didn't show up, not in the first page of results anyways. It's now the sixth result.

Ah, SEO magic. Always a weird idea.

FYI, we're at 0.6.1 (upstream) now, additionally supporting three more sites.
If anyone here has a Windows machine, feel free to attach an updated binary here - everyone else can just grab it from the usual repositories (on Windows, that includes Cargo).

Im getting mostly errors last few times i've tried to use yaydl:
"Fetching from YouTube.
Error: EOF while parsing a value at line 1 column 0"

Tuxman · « **Reply #34 on:** May 20, 2021, 11:54 AM »

I know, there are massive problems with certain YouTube (and even VOE) videos, e.g. those which are a playlist (or split into many .ts files) won't work at all...
Still no help.

Version 0.6.4 was updated to use a newer version of the YouTube API. I hope it helps!

(I'll probably update it to 0.6.5 to better display YouTube-side errors...)

mouser · « **Reply #36 on:** June 20, 2021, 10:37 PM »

I will wait until 0.6.5 but i am anxious to try it again.

Tuxman · « **Reply #37 on:** June 20, 2021, 10:38 PM »

Wait no longer!

It turns out that YouTube marks some videos as "unplayable" in its API. yaydl will now say it does not exist.

mouser · « **Reply #38 on:** June 20, 2021, 10:53 PM »

downloaded; i will report my experiences.

Tuxman · « **Reply #39 on:** June 20, 2021, 10:54 PM »

Awesome!

mouser · « **Reply #40 on:** June 20, 2021, 11:01 PM »

quick report, one video downloaded great, another gives

yaydl "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEXdIxl3m54"

"Fetching from YouTube.
The video could not be found. Invalid link?"

Tuxman · « **Reply #41 on:** June 20, 2021, 11:03 PM »

Yup, it was a mistake caused by yaydl using an undocumented API.
Fixed in 0.6.6. The last release for today. Pinky promise!

mouser · « **Reply #42 on:** June 20, 2021, 11:04 PM »

no promises needed, keep making them ill keep testing them.

mouser · « **Reply #43 on:** June 20, 2021, 11:08 PM »

Wow v 0.6.6 is working like a charm. Downloaded everything I threw at it

Great stuff!

wraith808 · « **Reply #44 on:** June 21, 2021, 03:11 AM »

Is the one in the OP the one to download? When I extract it, I get one dated as 1/6/21

mouser · « **Reply #45 on:** June 21, 2021, 03:26 AM »

I downloaded from https://code.rosaelefanten.org/yaydl/index

Tuxman · « **Reply #46 on:** June 21, 2021, 07:52 AM »

You can also install Rust and then "cargo install yaydl".

mouser · « **Reply #47 on:** March 20, 2022, 06:08 AM »

Getting an error about "relative url without a base" quite frequently with some youtube urls, not sure why. For example this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qi7knpS1hBA

Tuxman · « **Reply #48 on:** March 21, 2022, 07:18 PM »

There are a few YouTube video "types" which are unsupported, including those consisting of more than one file. I could still need more manpower...

Tuxman · « **Reply #49 on:** May 23, 2022, 08:35 PM »

I prepared new features, by the way: yaydl 0.8.0 can use Chrome or Firefox to parse websites. Good for some porn sites.
