  Make sure you update often though. Youtube/Google/Alphabet are playing whackamole.

  You can use yt-dlp -U to update if you are using the release binaries

  If you installed with pip, simply re-run the same command that was used to install the program

    Simply running pip install yt-dlp doesn’t update though, right? You need to add an upgrade flag, so either:

    • pip install yt-dlp --upgrade
    • pip install yt-dlp -U

    I just did uv tool install yt-dlp[default] --with mutagen. Updates are handled automatically.

    I put it in a container that has a build process every week.

  Yt-dlp is the way. J-Downloader is okay too if you need a good interface but dlp is just too damn powerful to not use

  Yup, don’t need anything else.
