There is no update. Stop lying. I just checked.

like all "issues" with yt-dlp, google tries to stop them and the yt-dlp devs are immediately on it with a fix.

also there's plenty of youtube exclusive documentaries, full live concerts, etc. that are worth downloading for personal media storage.

It's a constant battle between google and the archivers who save, least humanity forget what came before.

Videos need to be archived for historical, cultural, and ideological purposes, if Google can erase an entire channel because it doesn't fit with the times; then they control the past, and he who controls the past controls the future.

>whats the point?
circumventing the evil jew who suppresses information spreading between humans via videos on platforms they bought out, like jewtube
jews regularly will shift videos they don't like to shitty server blades or something so they basically take forever to load, call it goy mode
take from them everything and give them nothing, it's the human way to deal with jews

circa 2015-2017, the woke standards changed and slightly edgy videos were just getting pulled randomly and pretty much lost forever if the creators never cared too reup. a lot of good stuff was lost.

most annoying shit is that youtube still keeps the video ID in your playlist but refuses to tell you even what the title was. and now within the last few years, it won't even list the video so that you can at least get the ID and search it on archive sites.

I doesn't work with my ISP and -f 18 but it does work with TOR (torify). Probably youtube limiting your IP range, they are far more strict than a few months ago (and they'll reject essentially all subs downloads).

Anyone know if this will work if I create an account?

>>106968843
Are you using an account?

There will never be a tracker for youtube videos. Content will continue to be uploaded to a dogshit platform that compresses the shit out of it and that can arbitrarily erase that content and that will one day decide their business is no longer economically viable or will sell out to another business that instantly fails....

There's a lot of content on the site worth archiving long long-term. But unless we can popularize a better form of tech than torrents for it to be decentralized, it's always gonna be at the mercy of some shit company.

>>106968905
There's always going to be a solution. I'll always make sure "content creators" get the rope and nothing else.
Worst case we do this:
>Script a Browser to play the Video
>Record the Video using Screen Recording or external HDMI Recording
>Do Optical Image Recognition or Browser Plugin Time stamping to Remove the Ad
>Share the Recorded Video via Torrent
>Make some DB to torrent youtube Videos
>Call the Tool ViCkeR
Never surrender.

So I have to use a very old version, and:
tar-360p-1 is usually the format I want (for space & bandwidth considerations), but that doesn't even work, so I have to use

--get-url

And feed it into ffmpeg to get it.
Then I don't get the correct file name, other details of the video, and it's not listed in the archive file.
